Planting trees is more than just sustainability and better air quality. It can also be agriculture. Usually when people think of planting trees they never think about fruit trees. It is nice to see different types of trees and how it elates to our nutrition@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I agree with you that nutrition is the key to good health. It relies on sticking to the foundations and using the basics of food to build on what works for someone personally. Everyone is created differently and I love that nutrition has the main goal of promoting health @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

As a future health professional I plan to incorporate nutrition into my life by using what I learned to create a meal plan centered on what my body needs to stay healthy. For clients, I plan to work around their diet and cultural foods, educating them on fats and carbs@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This week the tariffs order hit me like a set a bricks and reality came crashing down once I realized the severity of it.As someone who online shops a lot I'm now learning to budget and look for things in stores. Items that are 3-5 dollars are now 30+ bc of shipping fees @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

For finals, I plan on meal prepping and making sure that I'm able to reach all my protein goals while also eating healthy. Usually, im engrossed in my studies that I forget to eat or resort to snacks and energy drinks. This time I'm planning on getting ahead of the game@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I also agree with you on eating foods that are easy to make but also nutritious. Sometimes it's easy to overlook how simple a recipe is to make when you are too focused on something really important. Another good, quick, and easy staple meal could also be chicken and rice @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This article I found on healthy diet can be very helpful for someone to give them a baseline on how to have a healthy diet. This article by WHO is simple and informational and its easy to read. I chose this article because the WHO is dedicated to providing factual info. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

For something so small it is shocking to see how much sodium and sugar is in this sponge cake. It is always easy to overlook you daily intake of added sugars and sodium but looking at the nutrition profile helps with that. Ill definitely eat twinkies more in moderation @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Ia slo agree with that, with all the diets that are going around and how strict they are its easy to fall off and have multiple cheat days. That goes to show how human we are. but in Tom's case he made it work and found a loophole catered to him and his needs. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Tom’s story shows that behavior change with obesity, is difficult. Quick fixes don’t work but sustainable ones do. From his story I want to focus on understanding self-monitoring. Tom’s journey shows that empathy and patience are key to a lasting and personalized change.@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

According to this source, Triglycerides can come from any food source but those that are stored in the body from fat and added sugars are the main concern since they greatly increase triglyceride levels. It is important to keep watch over these as they can affect the heart@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I was also shocked at how high the percentages were when it came to obesity in children. I believe that people do not thoroughly understand how hard it is for people who are obese, or the implications of it and how it comes to be in people who become overweight. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This week, after watching James Corden's response to fat shaming, I learned that childhood obesity is directly linked to poverty. This could come from many factors, but the biggest one being a lack of access to healthy and affordable foods and a balanced diet @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is a good baseline for managing your hunger and developing good eating habits. Having a healthy and balanced meal is one step into managing hunger, but knowing what to do and having a baseline understanding of good eating habits goes a long way in lowering your hunger@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I also agree with this, I used to have an extremely sweet tooth and would always gravitate towards sugary drinks or sweet candies/gummies. It became a way for me to wind down whenever something sour or bad occurred throughout my day. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One barrier of unhealthy eating I struggled with is unhealthy diet of friends and family. Growing up my family had a history of high cholesterol and blood pressure; this was a result of being used to consuming foods rich in oils/butters but low in vegetables and fruits. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This article also promotes healthy sleep practices to turn to before fully committing to melatonin short term and taking it for 1-2 months. Certain doses are required to see results but because of lack of regulation it can be possible to overdose on melatonin @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is a great example of a "supplement" that does not aid in someone's overall health as it is marketed for male enhancement but causes adverse reactions to other medications. This product does not promote/provide wellness. Can it even be considered a dietary supplement?@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Is There Really Any Benefit to Multivitamins? A recent look at multivitamins by Johns Hopkins researchers shows that there’s no proof of benefit. Find out the one supplement deemed beneficial—and how others failed.

Diet it key when it comes to supplemental intake. Taking vitamins/supplements can be beneficial in cases where deficiencies occur but, in this article, it states that vitamins don't prevent chronic diseases. Although not needed vitamins aid in other aspects of your health @beh353.bsky.social #BEH353

The article is also very informational and suggest that people tailor a protein diet based on their body weight and budget. This source also references many other nutritionists and dieticians making it more credible. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is a great source that is credible and trusted seeing as it is being written by nutrition experts. Canned foods are good for you but like everything else there are things you should look for and be mindful of. Although it is not fresh, they are full of good nutrients @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One popular press media I found is a peer reviewed article by Harvard on healthy Low-carb snacks with high protein and fibers. This is a perfect source to recommend to someone wanting to change their diet since the information is backed by two credited nutrition experts. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I don't think the grain-free diet will help in weight loss seeing as it is one of the main food groups that we eat. Based on the source it is helpful to substitute grain or take it out of your diet due to medical conditions, but grain is a core component of many foods @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I've also heard about this, but I've never really seen anyone show their results when it comes to the master cleanse. Lemon juice is a great source of vitamins but i wonder how maple syrup and cayenne play a role in this diet. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One fad diet that I found interesting was the grapefruit diet where you had to have a grapefruit or grapefruit juice with every meal. Its thought to be cleansing and help remove toxins that promote weight loss. There are other versions like the steamed cabbage diet @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Homemade potato chips are such a great idea especially if you are big on cooking. One perk about being able to cook is having the choice on how you personally want to style your diet and what you want to focus on. There is so much when it comes to personalizing your diet@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This recipe is a great example of a balanced meal. It incorporates almost all of the food groups and is especially hearty in the protein and veggies section. Fruits from the tomato, veggies from the mushrooms/squash and protein from the fish on top. I'd love to try this @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I mainly eat rice and eggs or rice with salmon. One way I can make this meal more nutrient dense is by adding more veggies and making my plate more diverse. Most of the foods I eat are plain and usually lack one or two food groups. I can start by trying to incorporate all @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
