Hi I love this idea! I too will work ok the same thing and put the patient first!!

In honor of earth day, understanding sustainability in today’s world is so important!!

I plan to incorporate nutrition with patients by using my knowledge to help patients work on substitutions of meals rather than eliminating food completely. I want my patients to enjoy the foods they love while also keeping it nutritious and balanced. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

As finals week creeps in, finding healthy quick meals is important so that you don’t fall into bad traps!

I have been focusing on eating complete meals with all the food groups to help me feel satiated for longer, to help me prevent snacking that can distract me from studying. I’ve been eating more whole foods that have been making me feel full and energized. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I found it so interesting on how wording can be so powerful and cause such a sway to the people reading it!

Hi, this article is a great one, I think that it’s super informative and I love how it brings light to the challenges that the families meet and how to help overcome these nutritional challenges!

Greens like spinach are undervalued. They are so important to your diet and sometimes you just need to find a way to make them good! Blending them into a smoothie, cooking them down, or adding them to a salad, are all ways to get in those greens!

I completely agree! His story is so impactful and shows how importance and effective balance can be!

Being kind is not something new, but when working in healthcare with a vulnerable group of people, it’s important. One wrong comment or judgement can really ruin someone experience and feelings. Tom’s story is something people experience if you aren’t being careful/kind. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Whole grains are great at keeping you full for long periods of time while supporting your body’s needs and craving. Defiantly a healthy alternative!

Hi Jillian, I also agree with this. I knew obesity in America was big but the numbers and stats of the children were shocking. It’s sad to see how it’s impacted the younger generations.

One thing that stuck with me was the affects of shaming leading to depression and anxiety. I knew shaming isn’t good, but the reminder of how it really affects someone stuck with me. We need to be more kind and considerate, especially in healthcare field. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi Kylie, this is also something that gets hard as the semester goes on for me too. When you have no time to “prep” and make the foods it’s much easier to just chose the easier option which tends to be unhealthy :(

Finding alternative ingredient options that are healthier and an overall better choice, is hard when you don’t know what to substitute ingredients! This article shows a healthier option choice!

The barriers I get challenged with the most is the relative cheapness of the unhealthy foods. I think that being an international student living in the United States, everything is more expensive and access to the unhealthy foods is much easier. These things make it hard.#beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Wow I didn’t know that avocados have anti inflammatory properties! That’s super interesting!

One thing I learned is that carrots have a really high amount of vitamins and minerals that the body needs, for example vitamin A,B, and K! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This article talks about all the benefits of an ugly fruit and all the vitamin and mineral rich they are! A lot of fruits and vegetables are a great way to gain vitamins and minerals in your diet naturally!

Hi, discussion surrounding myths are huge in the nutrition community and I feel that understand the misconceptions that we have is key to knowing and understanding how to make proper decisions on foods!

This article discusses the importance of eating greens and the positive effects it has on your body.

With times changing this really makes me reflect on the importance of educating myself and learning all the right tools to know how to find reliable sources, with food, diseases, and my overall health.

Hi Kylie, I agree with this! I feel like a temporary cleanse is okay for a short period of time like 3-5 days but months can be very dangerous for your overall health for sure! You lack a lot of the main food groups using this diet!l. Great post!

Carnivore diets have been trending recently on my TikTok feed. It’s diet that consists of eating only animal products and no fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. This diet has some warning around it as it can lead to certain nutrient deficiencies as well. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi, yes that’s defiantly a good way to make better choices while enjoying the foods you like! Maybe even looking into the type of beef patty you use can up the nutrients even more!

I’ve been seeing so many different recalls with foods these days, I wonder how they get the “okay” to be put through into grocery stores without being safety checked. #beh353

One of the changes I’ve been doing is adding cottage cheese into my scrambled eggs and using protein pancakes (homemade) instead of store bought sugary ones! The taste doesn’t feel altered and it’s so good! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi!

I too agree it was a bit distracting and felt tedious to get all the small things like condiments and spreads to account for b it was super helpful to see what I really eat everyday!
