This article was very helpful. I stress eat often especially during finals week. I love that this article gives tips on things we should be eating instead. I will definitely be using these suggestions as finals week is coming up. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I like how you discussed incorporating telling patients to not eliminate foods out and work on substitutions or different options. For healthy eating we should have a balanced diet with all the food groups rather than cutting a food group out completely. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I plan to incorporate nutrition with patients by educating on balanced eating supported by evidence based research. I will guide them to find what works best for them and not have them falling for fad diets. I want them to slowly make changes in diet and not extreme ones. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

These are great suggestions! Finals week is coming so there will be extra stress. Often with finals week you tend to forgot to eat because you are trying to study as much as you can. I will definitely will trying these easy meals. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi! I also will be surviving on rice and eggs during finals. It is an easy and simple meal that will help during the crazy week of finals. Also having snacks is great when you are studying! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One thing I look for in any nutrition post is the credentials of the person writing it and how credible the source is. For finals a snack I love to eat while studying is apples and peanut butter 🍎 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

It was interesting to learn how beneficial spinach is. Especially how it helps our heart health. I personally like spinach and like adding it to my eggs in the morning. More people should be eating spinach and adding it to their meals. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi! This is a great article. It’s easy to read and is very informative. I also like that the article shows the importance of parents being a role model for their kids and their eating. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This was a very helpful article. I struggle with mindless eating. After I long day at school I eat dinner while watching tv. I try to eat slowly but sometimes I’m so hungry that I eat it without enjoying it. This article helped me realize to be more mindful while eating. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Isabella,
I agree that compassion matters because if Tom received the support and proper care he would’ve been able to lose the weight much earlier. Tom wouldn’t have needed to go through those health scares if they didn’t make him feel ashamed of weight. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Tom’s story shows you don’t have to lose weight through an extreme diet. You can simply do by eating healthier and staying consistent. With future clients I will make sure to not make them feel ashamed of their weight like how Tom felt which caused him to not return. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I’m trying not to drink soda as much anymore so this article was very helpful. I will definitely try these infused water ideas to stay away from unhealthy sodas. It will help me stay hydrated and get more vitamins and nutrients. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Isabella! This is such a shocking fact. There truly needs to be a change in school lunches so all kids,even those from low income households can receive a healthy lunch. This idea is linked to childhood obesity is more prevalent in those from lower income families. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

The fact that the medical cost for an obese adult is $1,429 higher than those of normal weight. This was a shocking fact and I will keep in mind that many obese adults can’t afford the medical bills to take care of themselves and the many medical issues linked to obesity. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I love learning about different diets and their benefits. This article was interesting to read and see all the benefits the Mediterranean diet has including reducing the risk of obesity-related cancers. This article just shows how what we eat can affect our health so much @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I totally relate to this struggle. School and our other responsibilities does really keep us busy where you don’t have time to think about what to plan and prepare lunch. I often have so much on my mind that I forget about brining a lunch or I just grab something quick. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

A barrier to health eating that I face is lack of time to plan, shop, prepare and cook healthy foods. I am usually overwhelmed with work, so when the weekend comes and I need to prepare lunches I feel too tired or forget to. I usually bring whatever is in the house. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is a great article and gave me more healthy snack ideas. I definitely eat many unhealthy snacks, so I definitely will be trying these out more. Snacks rich in protein and fiber can support our health and help college students during the day when we are feeling tired.

Hi Celine! This article is great and it’s shocking to learn that vitamins aren’t as beneficial as we think they are. We fall for the labels and how they advertise them to be very beneficial for our health. We need to focus on a better diet and not rely on multivitamins @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Can Vitamin C and Zinc Actually Boost Your Immune System? We asked experts which supplements have real benefits.

The article discusses supplements containing vitamin C and zinc claim to boost immune system, but there are few high quality clinical trials to firmly state the benefits. Some supplements aren’t approved by FDA and labels can be inaccurate @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

It was interesting to learn that bananas affects our brain activity and our mood. I love having a banana in the morning because it helps me start my day. Now I know why having a banana in the morning affected my mood and how the vitamins and nutrients affected me. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Tanisha! This is a great article and will be helpful for someone that is trying to change their diet and eat healthier. As someone who loves to snack I will definitely be taking some of these suggestions to eat more healthy snacks. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

What to Eat and Drink for a Good Night’s Sleep Tart cherry juice? Kiwi? Experts are still untangling how certain foods and diets may affect our sleep.

I think this article would be good for patients who struggle with insomnia or sleep problems. The author who has a Ph.D in nutrition, gives suggestions for types of foods and drinks that may help. These suggestions are backed up by studies. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

These recipes sound amazing. I love pasta, but have been wanting recipes to make more health pasta dishes. Having these recipes will help me get more nutrients in a simple pasta dish. I will definitely be using these recipes. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi! I totally agree that these diets can be dangerous. They aren’t getting enough nutrients that are very important in helping maintain and help the body grow. You can’t receive all the nutrients you need from juices alone. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One fad diet that interests me is the cleanse diet. This diet is where you don’t eat any solids and just drink water with things like lemon juice. I wondered if this diet is really a “cleanse” or just people losing weight due to not receiving enough nutrients to survive. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I have been trying to eat more healthy since I’ve become more mindful of my health. This helped me focus on not just cutting foods out, but instead to be adding foods. Overall wellness and heart health is important so I will definitely add these types of food to my diet. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi! I also tend to feel hungry after eating pasta meals and adding more vegetables has made a difference for me. I don’t have to eat a huge portion of pasta to feel full anymore. Adding vegetables and protein will definitely ensure you are getting a balanced meal. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

A quick meal I make for lunch is a ham cheese sandwich on white bread. I will make this meal more nutrient dense by adding vegetables on it like lettuce. Switching white bread to whole grain bread will make it more nutrient dense. Adding apples as a side will help as well @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
