@MakalaErickson @beh353 I completely agree! It is such an important thing to understand, as eating is such an integral part of so many aspects of life. Not only is it just keeping us alive, but it is also a social and comforting thing as well. @beh353 #beh353

I will use the information I learned in this course to help patients understand the difference between a fad diet that may seem to help people and a diet that fuels their bodies and can help them attain their goals. @beh353 #beh353

Speaking of Thanksgiving food, this is good to know! I'm not the one cooking the turkey at my house, but cross contamination still worries me!

@SanaaMay4 @beh353 Mac and Cheese sounds so good! we never have either of those on Thanksgiving at my house. I hope you enjoy!!! @beh353 #beh353

The food I am most looking forward to eating on Thanksgiving is the braided bread my mom makes from scratch. I have NO clue how she makes it, or what the recipe is, but it is so good. I can eat a whole massive loaf in one sitting. @beh353 #beh353

@rudh_d4 @beh353 It is definitely something to be aware of! Some people have to be more aware of it than others for their blood pressure and heart health! Thanks for sharing Rudh

A lot of people are wondering how to reduce their added sugar, and this is a super simple guide on some ways to do it!

4 Ways to Reduce Added Sugars in Your Diet:
💧 Drink Smart: Keep your choices refreshing and healthy by opting for water, smaller portions, or no-calorie options!

🍏 Choose Fruit: Don’t skip out on whole fruits! They’re packed with essential nutrients like fiber and potassium. Aim for a colorful variety, and choose unsweetened options when selecting canned, dried, or frozen fruit. 🍓🍌

🥛 Aim For Plain Dairy: Dairy is a great source of protein and calcium, but it can also have added sugars. Go for plain milk and yogurt to keep your intake in check!

📊 Be Label Savvy: When shopping, take a moment to read Nutrition Facts labels. Use the “Total Sugars” line to determine the full amount of sugars in a labeled serving. This amount represents both naturally occurring and added sugars, added together.

This is something that hits close to home to me, as I know family that health professionals have told to avoid aspartame in the past due to medical issues. Definitely something to look more into! @beh353 #beh353

@mder0481000 @beh353 Hey Makenzie, I totally agree! I think this is super important, and it can go for a lot of things, not just the patient's weight. A diagnosis may not always be what you think. @beh353 #beh353

[Katie Fields @Kfieldss220]

Something that stuck out to me from the video clip this week was that yoyo dieting could be more harmful to patients' bodies than not trying to lose weight at all. That is something doctors should remember. #beh353 @beh353

[Katie Fields @Kfieldss220]

This is a super useful article, I have been talking with my mom about this a LOT lately. @beh353 #beh353

Heard of low- and no-calorie sweeteners but not sure if they're safe? We've got you: https://t.co/OSFs78GuXL

@rudh_d4 @beh353 I think this is super important for people to understand! It is always harmful being rude to others.

Something that stuck with me this week is the how common it is to be overweight and obese in America. It’s very eye opening that most adults are overweight, and 1/3 of those are obese. @beh353 #beh353

My mom grows butternut squash! I will have to try one of these recipes with her for Thanksgiving!!! They look yummy! It is incredible how many different things you can do with one food item. @beh353 #beh353

@BolstridgeKylee @beh353 Kylee, I agree! It can take so much time! Many people prep their meals on the weekends and post about it on social media, but I feel like my time is constantly slipping away from me! I'm usually playing "catch up" on my weekends just to keep my head above water. @beh353 #beh353

[Katie Fields @Kfieldss220]

The widespread presence of unhealthy foods is a barrier to healthy eating I have faced. Fast food restaurants are on every corner, and grocery stores are full of snacks. Vending machines are everywhere full of candy. Its everywhere. @beh353 #beh353

[Katie Fields @Kfieldss220]

@BolstridgeKylee @beh353 I absolutely LOVE peanut butter! This will make me even more excited to eat it! Thanks for sharing! @beh353 #beh353

Recently I have been looking a lot into dietary help for migraines, as I suffer from them, and found that magnesium supplements have made a big difference for a lot of people!
