#AJCN authors used NHANES data to estimate dietary quality of children aged 6 mo to 4 yr. They found "dietary quality declines with age and may begin as early as 1 year." Dietary quality was higher among children in higher income & education households: https://t.co/9KyyrWbXW2

At “Trick& Meet” we tallied sweet taste preferences in undergrads and 37% preferred an oh-so slightly level of sweet. Their preferences are more narrow than the general population. Wonderful to talk with students about factors that influence health behaviors! @HESNEPAmb

Today is the day!! Can't wait to see you there:)

SPINACH 🍃Maybe Popeye was right! 🆕 study shows the impressive benefits of spinach extract (ecdysterone), increasing muscle mass & bench press performance, so much that researchers suggest it should be a prohibited substance in sport: https://t.co/HjtA3TJjJ0

When you're thirsty, which types of beverages are best at keeping you hydrated? 🤔

A recent study tested 13 common beverages to see how they impact #hydration. #eatright spokesperson @eatfitrun commented on this research in @CNN: https://t.co/PQUljqC1jd

After our first round of midterms, we hope that all is going well. If they didn’t go so well or you even just want a little extra help, remember to check out your professors’ office hours!

Mian Conde, Bariatric Dietitian, works long term with patients to help support nutritional and lifestyle changes necessary for successful outcomes in #bariatricsurgery. For those looking to eat healthier this #NationalNutritionMonth, she recommends eating more vegetables.

[HES NEP Ambassador @HESNEPAmb]

We just learned about the challenges people face while breastfeeding in one of our NEP courses: Nutrition through the Lifespan! Hearing these women's perspectives made it even more real #ILookLikeASurgeon #breastfeed

Excited that Omega-3 fatty acids can now be provided at the collegiate level! Omega-3s from fish oil, like in @NordicNaturals (@CPSDA partner), have anti-inflammatory properties that aid in recovery & supports 🦴, 👀, 🧠, & ❤️ health. For foods, think fish 🐠, olive oil, & 🥑
