As a future health professional, I’ll use nutrition to support patient care, healing, and disease prevention. I’ll promote healthy habits, share nutrition tips, and lead by example—because good nutrition is key to good health. @beh353.bsky.social

Reposting this because evidence-based advocacy is important, especially when advocacy itself is being targeted.

Good point Matthew, I agree that providing sources, even if it's just a link, adds a lot to credibility to nutrition information. It allows people to check the facts for themselves. @beh353.bsky.social

Before believing a nutrition post, I will check if the information is based on scientific evidence and cites credible sources. @beh353.bsky.social

This looks like a really helpful and accessible guide to healthy eating for both parents and kids. The bulleted format is a great way to present information clearly. @beh353.bsky.social

About Infant and Toddler Nutrition Information on feeding infants and toddlers, from birth to 24 months of age.

Helping kids eat well does not have to be complicated! I love this article from the CDC because it's easy to read, backed by science and has practical tips for busy parents. www.cdc.gov/infant-toddl...

That's a really important point about the impact of language in healthcare, and how crucial it is to prioritize kindness and respect. @beh353.bsky.social

Tom Carroll's really showed that weight loss is way more complex than just diet. His unique approach proves we need personalized strategies for each client. Understanding the emotional side of eating, like Tom did, is key. @beh353.bsky.social

That is really important, Lindsey. Establishing healthy eating habits early in life can have a huge impact. It is true that parents have significant influence on their children's diets. Encouragement and education are definitely key. @beh353.bsky.social

Reposting this because the anxiety around perfect eating is way more harmful than a few less-than-ideal meals. It's important to focus on nourishing our bodies without the added stress. @beh353.bsky.social

Learned this week that obesity is a complex disease with genetic & environmental factors, not just a willpower issue. Moving forward, i'll be more mindful of language & promote understanding in my work when discussing health. @beh353.bsky.social

That's a really relatable barrier! social pressure can definitely make healthy eating tough.

Reposting this because promoting body positivity and healthy relationships with food is so important. @beh353.bsky.social

I relate to the "time constraints" barrier. Between classes, work, and trying to have a social life, it's often easier to grab something quick and unhealthy than to prepare a healthy meal.

That's a great summary of the keto diet! It's interesting how it can impact so many different conditions. Ketosis sounds like a pretty intense metabolic shift.

I am interested in researching the Keto diet a bit more.
A key question I have after some initial research is: What are the long-term effects of maintaining such high-fat, low-carb diet on cardiovascular health.

Reposting this to emphasize the importance of shifting from temporary diets to sustainable health habits and body acceptance. Let's focus on holistic well-being and self-acceptance.

That sounds delicious, air frying or baking the salmon are great ideas for keeping it healthy.

I will transform my usual sandwich into a nutrient-dense meal by swapping white bread with whole grain, adding leafy greens like spinach, and including lean protein such as turkey and top it off with avocado for healthy fats.
