How Our Mother's Diet Affects Our Lifelong Health

How our adult health is determined in the womb, and extreme sports for the disabled

How our adult health is determined in the womb, and extreme sports for the disabled. Groundbreaking research shows health in adult life could be determined by a mother's diet before birth. The quality of her diet and its impact on birth weight can determine whether we get heart disease or diabetes in later life. The programme also looks at the growing availability of extreme sports available to disabled people in the UK.
