How we can age healthily? Today we look at the impact of our diet. How important is it to eat the right thing to live a longer healthier life? If the Northern Ireland Assembly is not restored by Monday October 21st, then abortion will become legal in Ulster in line with the rest of the UK. It’s part of the Northern Ireland Bill which was passed in Parliament over the summer. A power-sharing government hasn’t been restored yet, although of course there's still time.

Are race and gender a double disadvantage in the workplace? Over 85% of BAME women leaders who took part in a study by the management consultancy the Diversity Practice say yes. How should the issue be tackled? Plus we talk to comedian Twanya Mayne about her new series for BBC Sounds and Radio 4 which addresses among other things her upbringing as a transracial adoptee and how it’s affected her search for her Black British identity.

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Thank you, interesting and important topic. Much more to do.

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Llstened to fab yvonnecoghill1 & amazing DiversityP radio interview. In just a few minutes they convincingly put across the case for change.Great to have role models courageously leading the bame agenda. Together we stand! AkenkideE OyebanjiAdewumi WRES_team JacynthIvey

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 How are you

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Hello

I thought the piece on nutrition and the elderly was good apart from the meal suggestion at the end. I somehow don’t think lentils, nuts and a few veg would be something my 87 year old mother with dementia would choose who seems to eat bread all day. Mind you nor would I.

Try this, it's completely lush!

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 It’s no surprise that race and sex can be a disadvantage, well done for highlighting.

Why mention eating too much protein is higher risk of cancer, and causes insulin growth factor one, without mentioning how much is too much. Must have put the fear of dread into anyone thinking of improving their diet.

BBCSounds BBCRadio4 twaynamayne Don't worry about upsetting police in Devon. They victim blamed me for being stitched up by the Cop son of a thieving Manager from my place of work after I'd done 1,000 hours as a police volunteer driver. Shame lying Sawyer was on the Modern Slavery Act Yarp AntiSlaveryDay2019

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Strange item, claiming 70% women are BAME, not in U.K. 86% are not BAME and so panels will always be ‘white’, it’s maths, then there is social deprivation amongst BAME which is an additional hidden restraint

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 What is the racial break down of pharmacists in the U.K?! Overwhelming BAME.

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Perhaps it's about suitability for the job and not race? Didn't 'Doctor' Paula Vasco-Knight cite her mixed race when promoting herself? A bullying police Inspector involved in my 2012 police stitch up is now training to be a Nurse.

DiversityP yvonnecoghill1 Women are already 90% of NHS staff. Why aren’t you fighting for equal representation in refuse collection and construction?
