@gabbyrien @beh353 Great point Gabby! The social determinants of health like access to fresh produce and exercise places are just as important as more traditional western medical practices. @beh353#beh353
In my future career, I plan to incorporate nutrition by explaining to patients that food is medicine! A lot of what you eat translates to how you feel, sleep, look, and more. It is so important, especially when it comes to cardiovascular health as well. @beh353#beh353
Interesting read! This article ties into some of what Emma was saying this week in acknowledging that sugar is good, you can drink soda, etc., as long as it’s in moderation. Seems to be the same message from cardiologists! @beh353#beh353
@EmmaDArpinoRD Thank you for lecturing! I agree with your feelings about the varying credibility of NYT articles. I appreciated your take on food shaming too, moderation is key! Lastly, it was interesting to learn how much sugar/little protein was in almond milk @beh353#beh353
This was an interesting read and a good point to make in our healthy eating recommendations this week. I’d definitely advise families / kids to eat more dairy products like yogurt! @beh353#beh353
Consuming #fermented#dairy foods such as #yogurt and# kefir has beneficial health effects, to say nothing of being good sources of calcium and high-quality protein:

This is a great article for parents trying to promote healthy eating in their kids. The article gives a helpful advice including how to establish a predictable eating schedule and being a role model! Super easy read! @beh353#beh353 https://t.co/1CJQSPHClz
https://t.co/Onb52MpQhD I would choose this article because it is factual, easy to read, quick and to the point, and written by a reputable association. @beh353#beh353
This article gives me hope for more nutrition training in school! As a future provider, not only will more knowledge on nutrition help with diagnoses, it can also help address the obesity epidemic without belittling overweight American patients. @beh353#beh353
@Nadine_g15 Great read, Nadine! This article is very helpful as even from high school to now my body has changed tremendously as I’ve aged. @beh353#beh353
This week’s article will help me as a future healthcare provider when caring for overweight patients. It has opened my eyes to how nuanced the bias can be towards larger Americans and I will be more conscious of how my words and actions impact them. @beh353#beh353.
@IsabellePo53907@beh353 This was a great read! Thanks for sharing, I think it’s really important to focus on what eating habits we can pass onto our children. @beh353#beh353
I think this is a good read for this weeks lesson. Highly processed food being so accessible definitely factors into the obesity epidemic in America. @beh353#beh353
"Greater exposure to ultra-processed food was associated with a higher risk of adverse health outcomes, especially cardiometabolic, common mental disorder, and mortality outcomes." Via @bmj_latest

One fact that stuck with me this week was that overweight children are 5x more likely to be overweight as adults. My grandmother always used to say this to my mom when my brothers and I were younger, but I didn’t think there was any truth to it! @beh353#beh353
This is a really interesting article & eye opening for me seeing as I exercise often & have an iron-deficiency. Relating to this week’s topic, the barriers to healthy eating, it’s definitely challenging for me to not only buy meat but to prepare and cook it well. @beh353#beh353
For athletes, red meat is excellent for iron, to prevent anaemia. But is red meat linked to long-term health issues? The certainty of evidence is low to very low when eaten as part of a healthy dietary pattern.

The lack of time to plan, shop, prepare, and cook healthy foods. Especially living in Boston where it is not as easy to grocery shop, it is hard for me to make tasty and healthy food. I find myself eating foods I don’t really enjoy just to stay healthy. @beh353#beh353

This article talks about the rise of melatonin and some of its harmful effects. Since melatonin is not regulated by the U.S. FDA, some over the counter medications may not have the correct recommended dosage. Be careful! @beh353#beh353
I found this article on beetroot juice supplementation to be interesting and relating to our topic this week! The study found that beetroot juice may enhance performance, especially in terms of endurance and even recovery. @beh353#beh353
@amiinatverr@beh353 I’ve heard a lot of good things about this brand, though I have never taken melatonin myself. I actually posted about a news article about the negative effects of melatonin and learned that in other countries it is prescription-only. @beh353#beh353
This is a very helpful article seeing as cardiovascular disease is so prominent in America! Heart health is super important to me, I will definitely be making some changes… @beh353#beh353
