As this semester comes to an end, I plan on taking a deeper look at nutritional labels and deciding if this is what I want in my body because I know know what the good and bad things can be. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I definitely stress eat during finals. I usually find myself doing it while studying if I’m a bit bored with the material.

This sounds so yummy! Definitely going to do this this week!!

During finals week, I try to eat a bunch of protein to give myself energy without having to consume a crazy amount of caffeine. My favorite protein filled food is chicken so I have lots of that. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Who would’ve thought you can eat a dandelion!

Tom talks about how hard it was to go back to the doctors because he was so shamed for his weight. As all future healthcare workers we need to learn how to truly advocate for our patients without shaking them for their live style choices.

This was a great way to describe his situation.

I also learned more about that this week. Childhood trauma can really affect someone’s adult life especially when it is linked to food.

This really links to our talk of obesity this week. Many people eat fast food due to the accessibility and being cheap.

I learned this week that obesity is not only from lifestyle choices but can also be from genetics.

As a person that likes to plan my week, meal planning really helps me be prepared during a busy week but also have time to eat healthy instead of finding something unhealthy but quick.

Totally agree with this. It can be so hard to find time with classes and assignments to find something quick and healthy to eat!

One barrier I relate to the most is a preferred taste for unhealthy food. They make everything that is not good for you taste so good!!

This is a great resource to use when trying to teach younger children what healthy eating is like.

I always look at this website when I want to be healthy but have something yummy!!

The “Nutrition and Pain” article by the Mayo Clinic was a very eye opening read. It tells you what you can eat to have a healthy diet and how it relates to fighting pain and inflammation. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Hey! This is a super interesting thought. I would love to hear how it goes if you try out intermittent fasting, as I go through the same problems.

The way that a vegetable can improve insulin sensitivity is so interesting to me!!

After looking into keto diets a bit more, I found out that keto diets can help reduce epileptic seizures in children. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This sounds super yummy! Might have to add to my food choices ☺️

Growing up we were never allowed to have raw cookie dough. I never really understood what the reason was but now as an adult I realize the dangers there is when eating raw cookie dough!

My usual food choices involve lots of pasta, whether it’s with sauce or just butter. To be more nutrient dense I could add protein to my food. I could add chicken to get that protein I need to my usual food choice. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I have always felt like a walk after a meal makes me feel so much better and now I know why!

This inspired me to start meal prepping after realizing how unorganized my meals are.

After recording everything I ate in 24 hours, I was surprised how difficult it was. I don’t think I could do it everyday accurately. It was an interesting activity to do.

This is such an interesting fact. Maybe an apple a day does keep the doctor away!

Eating protein can help your body repair and grow so it is one of the most important foods you need to incorporate into your diet. 🥩🥛

Staying active is such a good way to feel great especially when you incorporate healthy foods. Healthy heart, healthy body, healthy mind.

After this week, I have realized that I need to look at serving sizes and calories more. I tend to eat as much as I want to without looking at serving sizes. As an example, cheezits, they seem like they wouldn’t be a lot of calories but it depends on how many servings you have.

I always tell my friends that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it starts your day off right!
