Healthy eating display scoops glittering prize for pathologists |
|
A team of pathologists from the east of England has won a silver gilt award at the Chelsea Flower Show for an exhibition showing how you can eat your way to good health. The display was put together by Dr Tim Wreghitt from the Health Protection Agency, and Philip Ball and Dr Meryl Griffiths from Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Their exhibition entitled “Pathology, plants, diet and disease” explains some of the links between plants, foods and their chemical components with symptoms, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases. The central display shows information about how plants contribute to a healthy diet and highlight some of the hundreds of natural chemicals that we rely on to maintain good health and explain how they work.
Fruits and vegetables are displayed set out like an allotment, highlighting the diversity of produce and showing how readily available good nutrition can be. The team has enjoyed success in previous years, winning silver medals
for their eye-catching and informative displays. |
