Cambridge is famous for being the city in the UK with the highest levels of cycling. But what is it about the environment that influences how we get around? And is enough being done to encourage everyone to be a bit more active on the commute? Researchers have been studying the health impacts of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway and other transport projects around the country to try to answer these and other questions. \n \nAre takeaways adding pounds? Are supermarkets slimming? We might like to think that the food we eat is all a matter of personal choice\, but where we live and work can affect our choices. Research is shedding light on how food outlets near our home\, work and travel routes influence what we eat\, and ultimately our weight and health. But how full of takeaways\, supermarkets and other food shops is your neighbourhood? Do you think it affects what you eat? And what\, if anything\, should be done about it? \n  \n\nFind out about other events that took place in Cambridge during the MRC Festival of Medical Research (18 – 26 June 2016) at: \nwww.mrc.ac.uk/about/events/mrc-festival-of-medical-research/mrc-festival-of-medical-research-2016-cambridge/ \n
