As my future career as a dentist, I will incorperate nutrition w/ my patients by expressing how important nutrition is for tooth health. Something like drinking 20 glasses of sugary lemonade every day, might not be a good idea for your health & your teeth! 🍋🦷🪥

I feel like there should be more attention brought to school lunches for kids. Home lunches are great and can be fun, but based off my experience, the school lunches that the cafeteria provides, needs to be updated for kids!🏫🥪

I agree, as college students who are approaching finals week, we have to make sure that we eat enough food for fuel and brain power! No guilt when eating, especially these next couple weeks!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I will look for who is posting the content related to nutrition and find out their qualifications, or their sources from now on. I will focus on eating balanced food for finals, focusing a lot on a colorful plate and making sure I get healthy carbs for brain power!🍎🍊🍌🥑🫐🍆

Hi Nancy, I think this was a really great article to pick. Personally, that was the one things I was most intersted in when it was mentioned in our lecture videos this week, so thank you! I wanted to learn more!🫶

I think this is important for ppl to look at. I remember being about 10 years old & hearing an adult say I shouldn't eat strawberries b/c they have sugar...I beleived them! Fruits & veggies are soooo important, I can't stress it enough..Ice cream is important too! 🍓🍦

The Importance of Good Nutrition for Kids It is crucial to begin practicing healthy eating habits early on in your child’s life. One of the most important conversations to have with your child is the power of healthy eating.

This article explains what kids should be eating & the specific nutrients we are looking for w/ the foods that provide those. It also has a list of way to ensure healthy eating for kids such as cooking w/ them to teach them! 🍓

Yes! There is also a really interesting documentary called "what the health" that is very informational on plant-based diets and how they contribute to "reversing" illnesses!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is interesting. I do remember seeing that "seed oils were appearently bad and need to be taking out of fastfood joints cause they're killing people"...I feel like being knowledged on saturated/unsaurated fats is the pov that should be used here! The media is weird.😵‍💫

Based on Tom's story, it is very clear now that if an obese patient seeks help, they can start by taking it slow to see results. Even swapping one meal out a day for a salad, like Tom did, is a great start. It's hard to change everything right away.🥑

Hi Emilia, this is such a good point. Now that you mention it, I can agree. I never really realized the difference when I eat at home vs during school...I definetely indulge in cravings when at school! 🍩🥤
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Considering our nutrition lesson last week on diets and how they basically don't work, I think this is important. Lifestyle and habits like sleep are bigger factors! Ppl shouldn't feel the need to cut groups of foods out of their diets to lose weight, just eat a variety!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

One fact from our obesity lesson that sticks with me is the percentages of children who are obese in the U.S. I wasn't aware of the percentages and how high they are. I think the obesity epidemic needs more attention and to be recognized appropriately.

This is very interesting to know! I know that coffee also has similar studies for cardiac issues and how drinking coffee can lower those risks later in life..very interesting!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This article makes a lot of important and eye-opening points. Extreme diets are indeed trending...I don't see how strictly eating only meat could ever be beneficial...research is important! Don't just believe someone who claims one thing on social media!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

From this weeks article, "Gender based apathy towards diet and health" is the barrier that I can relate to most. As a woman, I feel since women anatomy plays a big role with fat storage, that contributes to thinking we constantly have to lose weight compared to men.
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I think this is such an important reminder. At the end of the day, if you're craving a cupcake, just eat a cupcake instead of eating 5 different things to try and fulfill that craving. Yes, eating healthy is important, but it's okay to have some calories and sugar too!

Hi Angelina, I work in the pharmacy and I recently asked my pharmacist if there was 1 vitamin he would recommend, what would it be? He said Vitamin D! After learning about how prominent vitamin D deficiencies are, this makes a lot of sense. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

A dietary supplement I looked further into was peppermint oil for digestive health and I learned it's good for IBS and muscle relaxation in the GI tract. It also reduces bloating and cramps for that reason!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Vivian, I haven't really thought of making a rice bowl for myself. It sounds really good! I will have to try it and include nutrient dense ingredients such as the ones you listed!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

One thing I am most worried about in my diet, now that I am slightly more educated, is including more fiber into my diet. I'm not even quite sure what foods exactly, have lots of fiber in them. I will have to do more research!

I'm a dietician and microbiome researcher: What I eat to keep my gut healthy without being too strict about my diet Hannah Holscher uses the knowledge she's gained from her experience as a microbiome researcher to shape her diet for a healthy gut. Here's what she eats.

I would suggest this NBC article from a registered dietition, microbiome researcher, and a nutrition professor. These qualities = high quality. The article is about what to eat to have good gut health without being too strict about diet. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/25/w...

Hi Julie, I've never heard of this diet but it seems very effective. Finding out what works for our bodies personally, is very important. I feel like it can also be a little difficult in recognizing positive effects over time, but definetely worth it!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Emotional eating is a real thing! Personally, I used to struggle with eating when I was bored..it was a bad habit and it's still something I encounter every now-and-then. Once I learned to recognize this issue, it was easy for me to stop this habit.😌 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I'm interested in a plant-based diet. My parents ate plant based for 3 years and I enjoyed eating the meals they cooked. I'm interested b/c of the way it cleanses your body and lessons diseases in your body. I would like to do it on my own!🌱🥑
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Celine, my post was almost the exact same as yours because I was also sick during this assignment...convenient for us lol. I hope you're feeling better this week! I'm back to eating normally.
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

These 6 things are similar to the dietary guidlines. Focusing on quantity and quality. Mentioning daily walks in fresh air and stress levels is good, as they are factors to nutrition assesments and what we should be looking for along with food intake!
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

A recipe I make often is white rice, italian chicken sausage, a variety of peppers, tomatoes, tomatoe paste, and spices. I would make this more nutrient dense by swapping the white rice out for brown rice, and keep the peppers while maybe adding more grilled veggies!🌶️
#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Mimi, I think this is a really good reminder! Especially since physical health can be a factor of mental health, and visa versa...It's all equally as important. Good habits go a long way.

This post relates to last weeks class material on whole grains! I'm going grocery shopping for myself today and now, I am going to be keeping my eyes open for better whole grain options for my bread and rice! It's exciting to be healthy🤗
