This is so real! When life gets crazy, it’s easy to forget how much better we feel with nourishing, and simple meals. I enjoyed these quick, no-stress ideas! I definitely will be saving this for finals week. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

@macaylan18.bsky.social I love this perspective! Teaching balance and evidence-based guidance is so important. Helping patients make sustainable, realistic changes matters so much more than chasing trends. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

As a future cardiac sonographer, I might not give diet plans, but I’ll use what I’ve learned about nutrition to educate, encourage, and connect with patients about heart health. Small convos can plant big seeds. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Finals stress is real — and so is stress eating. Before reaching for junk food, check out these better options that will help fuel your brain and calm your nerves. You got this! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

@serenachen.bsky.social I love this! Smoothies are such a quick and easy way to pack in nutrients. I’ve been trying to get better about prepping breakfast too — your recipe sounds delicious! I’ll have to give it a try this week. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This semester, I have learned that before trusting any nutrition post, I’ll check if it’s backed by credible sources and created by a qualified professional, like a registered dietitian (RD) or healthcare expert. Reliable info matters! 🥗📚 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

With what we've been learning this semester, I found this article very fitting. Understanding macros, carbs, proteins& fats is key to balanced eating. It explains calorie content and sources, making nutrition simpler. A great read for making better informed food choices. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

@jyzou.bsky.social Great article choice! I found this article to be both kid and adult friendly. I liked that there were hyperlinks that further broke down certain food definitions, making the article more comprehensible for kids interested in nutrition. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Good Nutrition Starts Early See ways to introduce young children to healthy foods, which affect how they eat as they get older.

As a future healthcare provider, I understand the importance of providing parents with reliable and accessible resources on healthy eating advice for their kids. I picked this article because it's clear, practical, and credible by the CDC. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I think post aligns well with this weeks lesson on ultra-processed foods. Most times we grocery shop on autopilot, and we buy not so healthy options. We learned this week that even though the label says "Organic", it doesn't mean healthy. So lets try to be more mindful of reading labels. #beh353

Tom Carroll was able to focus more on controlling his environment and less on willpower. He showed us there's power in intentionally eliminating your triggers and making the healthy choice your default. So, I plan to help teach my patients how to design a healthy life. #BEH353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Mahi, I agree! I believe people can accomplish things independently, but having a team of supportive people behind you can make all the difference. People need a positive push, to help keep them on track. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I thought this article lined up nicely with this weeks lesson. It’s teaching people how eating during certain time frames can help with weight management. Front loading calories allows for the food to burn off during the day rather than at night in bed. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I completely agree, it cost nothing to be kind to someone. People can definitely be very quick to judge, without any knowledge of the other persons circumstances. #beh353

This week’s fact is “90% of kids eat lunch at school.” Sounds simple, but schools nationwide are helping to shape how 90% of kids will grow up and decide to make healthy eating choices or not. It super important to not just tell people to eat better, but teach them how. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I think this a good reminder, to not get stuck in the number calories. Calories are important, but more important than that is nutrient density. Lets be more picky about our nutrient intake. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi @liuchan27.bsky.social, I too am guilty of preferring convenience over nutrition. As much I would love to cook and eat healthy most of the time, doing so takes time and energy I often don't have. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This weeks reading, I related to the "Unhealthy diet of friends/family". It can be harder to stick to healthy eating, when those around you are eating everything your trying to avoid. Having people around you on the same journey, its easier to keep each other accountable #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

@livgrech.bsky.social I had know idea that frozen fruits preserved the vitamins and mineral either. Sure it doesn't beat fresh fruit, but its definitely a great affordable alternative. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Recently, I started adding the supplement L-glutamine to my daily routine. Its an amino acid that plays an important role in muscle growth, muscle recovery, immune function, and intestinal health. Its naturally found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Spinach is one of my main ingredients to my fruit smoothies, so its great to know the breakdown of how power packed spinach really is! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I found this post to be helpful guide to some egg-substitutes, especially since we are in the midst of an egg cost crisis. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I agree that this is a quality source as well. I was surprised to learn that canned goods are full of good nutrients, because we are definitely programmed to think the opposite. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This week's repost is simple yet powerful. It goes against the typical fad diets, that are so restricting. Once again stressing the importance of what you eat vs. how much you're eating. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Gina, this is a great post question. I think Keto done correctly can have good benefits, but most people don't know more than the fact that they are able to eat bacon guilt free. I too would like to know if there is a healthy/ better way to do keto. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I am personally a fan of eating cabbage, but a fad diet I can't get behind is the 30-day cabbage soup diet. Apparently, people can lose up to ten pounds a week. Sustaining that when returning to a balanced diet is very unrealistic. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Our food choices, can effect our moods. Which why its important for us to be intentional about what we are putting into out bodies. Mindful eating in my opinion, is a form of clean eating. As we know, food has a direct cause-and-effect relationship on our health. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hi @erimar13.bsky.social, I am a fan roasted turkey wraps myself. Its amazing how substituting a few ingredients can be so filling! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

My favorite go to quick lunch idea is usually, a sliced turkey sandwich wrap, with cheddar cheese. To make this more nutrient dense, I opted for a carb wise wrap, grilled chicken, feta cheese, spinach, and some balsamic vinaigrette. Even more filling! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
