Live stream recording of ‘Exercise and Nutrition’, the first in a three-part series of Positive Health lectures at RCSI.

Hosted by the newly established RCSI Centre for Positive Psychology and Health, the lecture focused on the importance of lifestyle medicine with leading experts addressing exercise and nutrition.

Professor Suzanne McDonough, Head of the School of Physiotherapy, addressed the recommended guidelines for physical activity and encouraged people to move more and sit less to improve their health. Professor McDonough discussed the beneficial effects of exercise on health and illness and addressed the barriers to active living.

During his lecture, Dr Robert Kelly, Consultant Cardiologist and Ireland’s only certified Lifestyle Medicine Consultant, highlighted nutrition’s key role in lifestyle interventions for the prevention and treatment of disease. Dr Kelly addressed the need for everyone to make their health their number one priority.

The lecture was then opened to the floor, where the audience had an opportunity to ask Dr Robert Kelly and Professor Suzanne McDonough questions and to share their views on the topics addressed. The discussion was chaired by broadcaster Dr Ciara Kelly.
