As a future healthcare professional, I plan to incorporate nutrition into my role by helping patients understand about what they eat can affects their oral health, including cavities and oral cancer. Educate them which foods or drinks need to focus or limit to prevent those issues. #beh353

Wow it is good to know that garlic can help with heart and immune health. Beside of making our food yummy, it also supports our health. Just a tiny clove but it makes a big benefits. I’ll be adding more of it to my meals #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Julie, this sounds amazing! Use all your knowledge that you learned from school or anywhere else to help patients is such a meaningful way to make a difference. I agree how you mentioned that food isn't just fuel for our body but it is so much more than that. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

During finals week, I'm looking for any meals that are quick and simple. I usually get takeout during this time. However, I always make sure to have breakfast at home to have energy for the day, and prepared some snacks like banana and protein bars to eat during break. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Monica, your plan sounds great. During this busy time, we are all trying to keep things as simple as possible. However, we also have to keep it healthy to have enough energy to do good on our exams. Make sure to drink enough water as well. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

It's good to know this because 30% sound like a big number. This can significantly affect the environment. Instead, throwing the food in the trash, we can use it in different way like use overripe fruits to make smoothies. Also, only cook what we need to help avoid waste. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I would recommend for the parents an article named Nutritional Needs for Growing Kids. This is very easy to read through since it well organized by divided into different sections. Also, provided fun activities for kids to help them learn about healthy eating habits. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social 💪👍

Hi Nicole, this article trustworthy because it is from MyPlate website. This article is very simple to read and pictures throughout make it more attractive to the all ages readers. Also, it provide a lot of good ideas for families to refer to. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Organic is gold standard. However, be careful with artificial colors. There is a simple rule to go with " if you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it". Every choice you make matters. 🥦💪 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

After reading Tom's story, I found out that words significant impact on a person. The caring words from Chick fill A's employees helped Tom keep his goal going. As a healthcare provider, we need to show our empathy to every patients, so they can feel the supported from us on their journey. #beh353

Hi, I totally agree with you about Tom’s story. It is hard to follow a new diet, especially for loosing weight. There are always something that stop us from doing it. In the future, if we see these patients, showing empathy is the key because it makes them feel comfortable and support from us.

High cholesterol is being a common concern nowadays, so it is good to know that pecans can help reduce the cholesterol levels. Pecans are easy to include in snacks or even main meals, so adding 2 ounces of pecans into our diet is a good option. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Nicole, I totally agree with you. Fat shaming is bullying and it is not fun at all. This might cause depression on the person and might worsen the overall health outcome. It is interested that you mention about the leptin hormone that cause this problem. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

After watching Bill Maher's TV show and this week's lessons, I realize that fat-shaming is not fun at all. It might significant effects on the person including both mental and physical health. It also worsen the overall health outcome, which increased risk of obesity. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Sugar sweetened beverage not only cause caries for our teeth, but it also increase the risk for oral cancer. It is important to check with the dentist if you see any abnormal. What might seem normal is sometimes actually dangerous.

Packing lunch for school or work have many advantages such as save money, save food waste, especially help people eat healthier. Preparing meals a head of time at home is a good options because we can control the ingredients, calories, and budget. For example, oatmeal. 💪 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi, I also have this barrier. During the school year, I don't have much time to prepare meals ahead of time, especially breakfast and lunch. Next time, I might prepare breakfast at night, like oatmeal and fruits, to have a healthier option. 🥣🍓 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

@beh353.bsky.social

One barrier that I can related is lack of self-regulation
behaviours. When I'm stressed, starving, or in a hurry, I just grab anything that taste good, or near me, without thinking if it's healthy or not. I need to change this by preparing healthy snack like fruits, for healthier choices. #beh353

One thing that I learned this week is that overdosing of vitamins and supplements can be harmful instead of beneficial for our body. For example, too much vitamin C can cause nausea, too much vitamin D can cause kidney failure, too much vitamin A can cause liver damage #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi , vitamin D is essential for our body. Vitamin D plays an important role in our bone, teeth, and muscle function. Lack of of it can cause muscle pain and risk of other health issues. It's a good to enjoy the sun after a long day studying on campus to gain vitamin D. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Frozen foods are a game changer for busy people. They are very convenient and high nutrients. Frozen foods can reduce food waste and easier to make different meals at anytime. For example, if there is excess fruit, we can freeze it and make smoothies later. 🍌🍓🍍 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

An article "Health Diet" from WHO is a high quality resources because this website provides reliable information based on global issues. This article talks about advice on maintain a healthy diet on fruits, salt, fat, ect. Also, how to promote healthy diets for adults, children, and infants. #beh353

Hi Erika, I love that article. Breakfast is hard for me to make, since I don't have time in the morning, but I also need something that will keep me full. Protein does help with that. I'll try to make some recipes from the article for breakfast and recommend for patients #beh353

Sweet potatoes are my favorite. Knowing this vegetable is high in nutrition makes me choose them more often. However, I usually have fried sweet potatoes. I'm not sure how much nutrition is lost in this. Next time, I'll switch to boiled sweet potatoes for breakfast or a snack to be healthier #beh353

Hi Julie, wow I never heard about "Whole 30." This such a interesting method. I believe finding any foods that work best for our body is very important, because it helps us feel better and this feeling will make a good impact in our overall health. 🤗 -> 💪 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
