Final Tweet - As a future healthcare provider I plan to start conversations about nutrition up at an early age so children can be interested in it from the beginning. As for elder patients, I plan on helping elders by associating it with the longevity of life. @beh353 #beh353

@Alicia43029 @WebMD @beh353 Although I don't put Tumeric in every meal there are other spices my family liked to use such as cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, etc. I make a masala chai that contains cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom. Its considered a warm drink because of all the spices it contains @beh353 #beh353

obesity as we talked about previously is a serious epidemic. This is because many of the carbs we consume are processed and not beneficial to our bodies at all. @beh353 #beh353

@Nfdrame1 @Nutrition_gov @beh353 For individuals who eat lentil soup, it contains good nutrients such as fiber. It is very easy to make you can leave it on the stove and forget about it. It is perfect for cold days. @beh353 #beh353

This new article is important to teach children. Often times we believe that schools are going to incorporate healthy and good-tasting meals. Although they might seem healthy are there actually beneficial nutrients in school lunches? @beh353 #beh353

salmonella is a common disease that many individuals encounter. We don't realize that certain foods have to be cooked to a specific temperature. With the holiday season around the corner make sure to cook your at the correct temp to keep everyone safe & healthy @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service @USDAFoodSafety]

If making eggnog from scratch this season, be sure to heat the egg base to 160°F to keep your holiday drink safe.
⚠ Salmonella may be present in raw eggs ⚠ cooking is the only way to remove that risk! #FoodSafeHoliday

Thank you @EmmaDArpinoRD for the lecture this week! Learned many gems! I would like to get myself to see a dietician to see how I can maintain a clean and nourishing lifestyle. I feel as if I have a dietician holding me accountable I will achieve my goals @beh353 #beh353

@ShreyaDholakia2 @beh353 Hi Shreya! I agree we can all take care of our diet and incorporate healthy life styles by using technology such as our phones. If we were to make it a healthy challenge then maybe more individuals would be interested @beh353 #beh353

food-borne illnesses are a very important topic in nutrition. Many illnesses occur through this @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service @USDAFoodSafety]

Some foods are riskier than others for those living with HIV & AIDS. We've got some practical guidance on how to reduce your risk of foodborne illness: https://t.co/8PKet5rNCO #WorldAIDSDay #FoodSafety

“men are not suppose to think about this stuff” obesity can get to anyone. fat shaming is more towards women in society. as a provider i can educate people that anyone can suffer & that its important to have emotional support to talk about feelings & trauma

this is something that is important when handling meat! We often think it stops growth but it doesn’t! many time we throw it in our fridge with cooke and non cooked food. proper care is important when handling raw meats @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service @USDAFoodSafety]

DYK that refrigeration slows but does not prevent bacterial growth? Fresh (not frozen) raw turkey, chicken & ground poultry should be cooked or frozen within 1-2 days of purchase? Cooked leftovers should be eaten or frozen within 3-4 days! #FoodSafety

@angnavo24 @beh353 Hi angie! I agree with you that a well balanced diet is important and can have an impact on a patients life. @beh353 #beh353

[Bisma Aftab @Bisma0519]

There are many factors that contribute to obesity such as sleep and improper eating. The one that surprised me the most was how obesity is linked to poverty. This was unfortunate because often a good benefitting meal that has grains and veggies can be expensive. @beh353 #beh353

[Bisma Aftab @Bisma0519]

@BEH353_Brynn @beh353 I agree with you. Schools should bring in healthy meals that are beneficial for children especially if it's a public school. many times families are struggling at home and then they have to pay at school as well. That's unfortunate. @beh353 #beh353

[Bisma Aftab @Bisma0519]

This is interesting in comparison to the U.S Myplate.I like this method better because of the portion of fruits and because milk is replaced with water. Having milk every day can really impact your body and water is a healthier option than milk in my opinion. @beh353 #beh353

@AseelBEH353 @beh353 Hi! I suffer from this as well. I often eat whatever is convenient which happens to be pizza or McDonalds. I can eliminate this by eating salads and meal prepping so I am not tempted to eat out and I have food already made so I cant be lazy about making it. @beh353 #beh353

[Bisma Aftab @Bisma0519]

when we get takeout we often get drinks as well. I knew coke had sugar but this is alot of sugar especially after a unhealthy meal @beh353 #beh353

[Center for Science in the Public Interest @CSPI]

Check this one out: a medium Coke from Popeye's is equivalent to 134 Skittles in added #sugar! We couldn't even fit the right number of Skittles into this graphic without making it super cramped 🍬🍬

a barrier to healthy eating is unhealthy diet of friends & family. My friends like to eat take out. Take out is not healthy at all and a home cooked meal is better. But its just hard when everyone is ordering take out and you find it easy @beh353 #beh353

[Bisma Aftab @Bisma0519]

@SamMontalto2 @beh353 I have been looking to switch over to women's multivitamins from just the regular Vitamin D I take. It's nice to know that Vitamin D is in it as well. @beh353 #beh353
