Book display: Nutrition & Hydration Week 2024

Nutrition and Hydration Week, 11^th – 17^th March 2024

This year, the theme around the week is “Making a Difference Everyday”, it’s all important we all consider if we’re getting enough nutrients in our diets, making sure we eat well and we all get enough water.

Nutrition is a subject which is close to LSHTM’s heart, so for Nutrition & Hydration Week 2024, the Library will be highlighting a number of books and pamphlets in the Library collection, as well as highlighting a few e-journals and e-books which are available to students and staff through library subscriptions. Further resources can be found by searching in the Library’s search tool, Discover.
