As a future psychotherapist, I plan to approach mental health holistically. I will acknowledge how nutrition impacts mood, energy, and healing. I’ll hold space to discuss food relationship and collaborate with other health professionals when needed. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hey Brandy! This was a great pick, we all need realistic goals when it comes to nutrition. Any diet needs full support because any droplet of doubt could make the whole experience negative. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

What nutrients does your child need now? See the current children's nutrition recommendations for protein, carbohydrates, more.

As a future psychologist, we know that healthy bodies = healthy minds. I’d recommend this article to my clients/families because it’s easy to understand, it has age-appropriate guidelines, and it’s from a trusted source! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is so important to weight management! It’s so difficult to manage such a journey alone, and it can get discouraging! Having a cheerleader on your side helps in so many ways, more than we know. Medical professionals should aim to do the same. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

To hear Tom’s story about his feelings brings into perspective how emotional weight management is. It’s never just about weight, there’s a lot of things at play when someone is on their journey. Medical professionals have to keep this mind when working with clients @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This advice can 100% aid in reducing the barriers to healthy eating. Young adults are constantly running around with no time to find a nutritious meal on the go, it would be much easier to do this instead! 🚫 temptation. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

A barrier I face most often is the unhealthy diet of friends and family. Living in a household of people whose main goal isn’t to manage their intake is a struggle. It’s hard to turn down fast food when the majority wants it, it makes things hard! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Cristal! I’m on the same boat as you, being in a Latino household is difficult if you want to watch what you eat. The foods that we’re used to is a fatty/rich love language, so it’s hard to turn it down. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is such a smart and unique way to teach children to make nutritious choices! Not only are they eating deliciously and nutritiously, but they’re having fun doing it! That’s exactly how to get kids excited about their fruits & veggies. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hey Brandy! I was literally just looking at this website, I thought it was a very clear and understandable visual with examples on how to portion control. Very good for people of all ages to understand. Good choice! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I recommend the USDA’s MyPlate Plan website. It is tailored to your individual needs based on age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity. Nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all thing, so it’s important to tailor it to YOUR needs. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I noticed that all of these are things that you can consume while in a Paleo diet.. Makes me wonder if that diet is linked to reducing anxiety as well… @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Skylar! I wonder if the reason why this diet isn’t a long term solution is because people start to miss physically eating? Not to mention people who like meat (chicken, beef, etc) #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I looked into what the Paleo diet was. I wonder how sustainable this diet is in modern times. The foods that it consists of are typically crazy expensive and it’s hard to come by foods that aren’t processed. Plus, isn’t dairy/grains included in the nutrition plate? @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I think a lot of people are across of the word “cholesterol,” but they shouldn’t be! As this read mentions, cholesterol builds cells, produces hormones, and helps in digestion. Not all cholesterol is bad, it’s all about lifestyle choices. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hey Cindy! I’m with you, I used to eat fast food A LOT because it was quick and easy, and my love for McD’s fries is infinite. Making change is hard, opt for a slow approach! Or make your favorite fast foods from home, you’ll feel so much better about eating them if you made it!

I tried the 24-hour food recall challenge found that it’s a lot harder to track when your way of creating food is “handful of this” and “splash of that”. not very accurate but I was surprised to see how much i would reach for the same ingredients in different dishes @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I love when february produce comes around, especially the veggies. I’m a huge fan of brussels sprouts because of their crunchiness and are LOADED with fiber, good for my tastebuds and digestion! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

@beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Gina! Good points about lack of fiber in our diets leading to health problems. Having fiber in your diet also helps feed your gut good bacteria, and keeps you full and energized for longer.

Fats are super essential because they’re responsible for the nerve cell sheath (myelin) and maintaining body temperature. Keeps you and your cells toasty! (a lot more science behind it, but you get it) @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is super interesting, especially after my Biology of Cancer class today where we spoke about mutations leading to cancer. I wonder if plant-based diets lower the risks because of its nutrients and how the immune system needs them to continue to fight infections. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Erika! I completely agree that randomized control trials are always iffy if not explained properly. You can always compare 2 random things, but that doesn’t mean that there’s any actual correlation between them.

Hi Micaya! I agree that clickbait is an easy telltale sign that something’s fishy about the article, especially one that promises to lose x lbs in x days. Making sure it’s posted by a credible nutrition source is also important too.

It’s important to see if the study is promoting specific products or diets for a secret profit later. Also, take a look at the results from the study, check if it’s truly randomized or if they grouped people to try a similar product to be a miracle drug @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi Ella! Congrats on graduating soon, I’m excited for you! I love sushi too, it’s pretty high up on my list. I’m also interested to know how our intake can affect the day ahead. Let me know if you get an answer to that!

Hi Nicole! I’m also a MMB major, but I graduate this year. I’ve seen a lot about the carnivore diet too, and it raises a lot of questions that go against what nutrition is about. Let me know when you get an answer, I’m curious too

i’m mmb class ‘25. i like updating myself on nutrition facts. are calories or amount intake more important? healthy eating = variety. i love pastelitos 🫶🏼 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
