Ever wondered why #swimming in #openwaters makes you feel so good? 🌊🏊‍♂️ New research from the #BlueHealth project, using data from 1,200 swimmers across 19 countries, found that swimming in natural waters is linked to significantly higher levels of #wellbeing compared to swimming in open-air pools.

New paper (& my 1st PhD paper) 📢 “I would even find it almost liberating if certain things were simply no longer allowed.” 🚫 Curious what different groups involved in the ‘farm-to-fork’ food chain think about #microplastics in the human food chain & potential solutions? 🥬🥩🧃
