On the same day, take advantage of your student discount at the first CAM conference of the year, there\u2019s still a few tickets left. And there\u2019s a review of last weekend\u2019s conference that one of our students went to.<\/p>\n

Read more about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong>\u00a0Cavendish Conference Centre, London<\/p>\n When:\u00a0<\/strong>Saturday 18th March, 12.30-17.00am<\/p>\n There are substantial discounts for BANT members and students, book your place here<\/a><\/p>\n Review: Cytoplan, Reverse The Clock on biological ageing<\/strong><\/p>\n Review written by Sharon (CNELM) from the Student Network Team who attended this conference the last Saturday in February:<\/p>\n It was held in the beautiful County Hall venue, in London, and featured Prof Giovanni\u00a0Scapagnini, Prof Gordon Lauc and BANT chairman Miguel Toribio-Mateas.<\/p>\n Scapagnini spoke on mechanisms of ageing, focusing on inflammaging, the damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Discussions on possible interventions touched on calorie restriction, genetic factors and diet. He spoke particularly on the Okinawan diet – which he’s studied first hand –\u00a0a nutrient dense, low calorie, low GL and anti-inflammatory style of eating. Posing the question: are these the key features of a longevity diet?<\/p>\n Lauc spoke on glycosylation and the use of glycan-based assessments that he and his team have developed to provide biomarkers of ageing. In fact, BANT are participating in one of his studies to assess the test, Glycanage, and to find out whether all glycanage markers can change with nutritional interventions.<\/p>\n The conference was interactive, with Toribio-Mateas leading workshops to discuss translating the conference content into nutritional practice. It was a good opportunity to meet others involved in nutrition, speak with the 14 exhibitors that included Genova and other companies that could be useful in the future, and the food was amazing! I highly recommend attending the Cytoplan conference – there are a couple more this year plus workshops around the country.<\/p>\n Revised BANT Guidelines for Students<\/strong><\/p>\n And one last thing, the Professional Practice Committee (PPC)\u00a0have produced updated guidelines for BANT Student members. Essentially it’s to remind us students that we cannot give nutritional advice until after we are qualified. Importantly, that also includes social media. We recommend that you read the details here<\/a>\u00a0so that you understand what you can and can’t do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Bulletin is about getting involved!
