Protein is not only in meat. There are alternative sources of proteins and this is a great example. A good way to add protein to your diet without including meat. @beh353 #beh353

@MoracaCassandra @beh353 Great take away from the course! There are many ways nutrition effects overall health, a change in diet may be a healthier solution than medication sometimes. #beh353 @beh353

As a future healthcare professional, I will make sure to inform my patients on what a big impact nutrition has on their overall health. As well as how to spot a good quality article. @beh353 #beh353

@EmmaDArpinoRD Thank you for your lecture this week! Your points on labeling foods are very interesting. I appreciate your words on food shaming. Mentioning how someone w/ low blood sugar needs a cookie, not broccoli perfectly explains why we shouldn’t food shame! #beh353 @beh353

Keeping a balanced diet is important for mental health! I think it is part of keeping our minds healthy, not just our bodies. Eating good foods can help boost your mood, while eating unhealthy foods could negatively affect mental health. @beh353 #beh353

Diet can support the prevention and treatment of mental health disorders https://t.co/4eZq4biD4q

@tcyr20 @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 I also found this very interesting. Definitely gives me a different outlook on processed foods as a whole. They are usually thought of as bad, but eating whole grains, even in bread can be beneficial to your health. @beh353 #beh353

Food does a lot more than nourish our bodies! It is a great way to bring people together and form new relationships. #beh353 @beh353

@kjohnson31 @beh353 This is a great way to get children excited about eating fruits and vegetables! It is also a good way to show children where their food comes from! #beh353 @beh353

This article gives a good outline for student athletes and their parents. It is an easy read and provides good information. Student athletes may find this helpful to improve their performance in sports. @beh353 #beh353 https://t.co/kxBOuhl2Ai

@farvalous_ @beh353 I think this is a great point. People like food they are used to eating. Introducing healthier foods at a young age will set up healthy eating patterns in the future. @beh353 #beh353

[Emily Bullen @EmilyBullen10]

This is interesting. It is important to double check the things you read online, even from what you think may be a credible source. I think this is especially true for nutrition advice. @beh353 #beh353

.@Nature is one of the premier science publications in the country and most of this is just plain nonsense.

They pick a study, any study, regardless of quality, turn it into a rule about what and how you should eat.

It's nonsense.

I was shocked after viewing the Samantha Bee clip on how many people struggling with their weight are misdiagnosed. One way I will prevent this from happening to my future patients is by examining all aspects of the symptoms they are struggling with. #beh353 @beh353

It is always important to clean up after handling raw meats. 32 hours is a long time so make sure to clean right after you are done in order to prevent contamination of the food you prepare in the future. #beh353 @beh353

[USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service @USDAFoodSafety]

#DYK bacteria found on raw meats, like Salmonella, can survive on surfaces for up to 32 hours? Be sure to clean surfaces & spice containers often with warm soapy water, then sanitize with a commercial or homemade sanitizing product! #FoodSafety https://t.co/RIQWOIrQvd

@A_brown_8 @beh353 I also found this very interesting. I didn’t know that before this weeks material. It will definitely help advise patients struggling with their weight because I don’t think most people know that #beh353 @beh353

[Emily Bullen @EmilyBullen10]

One thing that stood out to me was that obesity is directly linked to genetics. Moving forward this is useful to know because it will allow me to better assist my patients that are struggling with their weight. #beh353 @beh353

It is interesting what this movement is doing for our planet. It makes you think what other small changes we could make in our diets that would help this planet. #beh353 @beh353

@tiana667 @beh353 I think meal prep is great but I agree it can be difficult depending on what you prepare because healthier options don’t always stay good for long. #beh353 @beh353

[Emily Bullen @EmilyBullen10]

One barrier that I face is unhealthy diet of friends and family. When I go out with friends, we tend to get unhealthy foods because it’s quick and more accessible. Although this is the case when we go out, I try to balance that by eating healthy while at home! #beh353 @beh353

This is part of a label on melatonin supplements. I think the brief description of each of the ingredients in this supplement is somewhat useful. Although on the left side you can see the disclaimer that it is not FDA approved. #beh353 @beh353
