@rbhuta11 This is a great point to make. Sometimes we focus too much on the stats but rather we should be asking our patients about social determinants of health and how their diet is. Many diseases are not limited to genes. @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

This is interesting to read because it discusses the importance of nutrition and how it is linked to diseases. Cancer isn't only caused by genes but it can be caused by the environment like diet, exercise, and pollution. It can heighten the risk. @beh353 #beh353

@beh353 #beh353 I thoroughly enjoyed learning about nutrition in this class. As a future healthcare professional, I would ask about their eating habits when doing an overall exam. I would also ask them about their family history of diseases to see if it's linked to their problem

@GoddardPgodd1 @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 I completely agree. Frozen options are great, especially for a beginner cook or someone who wants to be mindful of produce cost. Often times fresh fruits are triple the price of their frozen counterparts so it's time to change the reputation of frozen foods. @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

This is a piece of great information to relay to our families and friends, especially those who are looking to be mindful of what they eat and are open-minded. Coming from a reputable website is something we should recognize as well! @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

@EmmaDArpinoRD I learned that our relationship with food can make something feel addicting. We must also be wary of articles that are misleading and don't have credible authors. It is very common to see a science article written by any journalist. @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

This article comes at a perfect time because it's spring! I would love to incorporate more seasonal produce and try out vegetables like beets in a unique way. I didn't realize you could puree cooked beets into hummus for example.This brings variety into my diet. #beh353 @beh353

@amiinatverr @beh353 This is a great article to read because it is knowledgeable on what an overall vs a healthful plant-based diet looks like. This is interesting since my roommates are vegetarians so I now have better insight into the health benefits of their diet. #beh353 @beh353

https://t.co/vrAeqMl5Vq This discusses data found on the impact different foods have on the risk of premature death. This easy-to-read article made it clear that switching to a Mediterranean diet can increase life expectancy. Also, it used verified studies.

Spinach is a great way to make meals nutrient-dense. Healthcare providers can recommend spinach for those who seek help for weight management. Through nutrition, many solutions can be created. Thus, nutrition and medicine go hand in hand. @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

@KimRaymond133 @beh353 I agree that a 24-hour recall can encourage a patient to analyze their intake and support weight management. It can be very revealing and can give a general estimate of how nutrient-dense the person's meals are. It is a general snapshot of someone's nutrition. #beh353 @beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

It's important to recognize that as a healthcare provider, we have the ability to change a person's weight management so we must be careful with our words. This article reveals how a patient's concerns can be overlooked simply because the doctor was dismissive. #beh353 @beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

@aaronjmcphs @beh353 This is a significant finding that I'm surprised to hear about. This statistic indicates we need further education in healthy eating from a young age and encourage healthy lunches at work so families eat nutritious meals at home and elsewhere. @beh353 #beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

I was surprised to see that malnutrition increased in most countries except for countries in South and Southeast Asia and for some age-sex groups in sub-Saharan Africa. It makes me wonder why they are different/unchanged and if resources play a part. #beh353 @beh353

One fact I didn't know is that obesity affects 47.8% of non-hispanic blacks. I think this is important to note because this is a significant statistic, and it indicates how minority groups are severely impacted by the obesity epidemic. @beh353 #beh353

These are great meal options to make when you are low on time and would like easy recipes! I would like to make some of these especially the fried rice since I can save the leftovers and reheat it for another day. @beh353 #beh353

@alinapopova25 @beh353 I also agree with you. It is difficult to get by without a car when having groceries because sometimes the T can take too long to come and walking can be a hassle with heavy bags. Overall, it can be inconvenient. #beh353 @beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

The barrier I would relate to the most is the lack of time to plan, shop, and prepare meals. Being a full-time student with an on-campus job can make it difficult to create healthy meals. Making healthy meals can be hard, especially without a nearby food market. #beh353 @beh353

[Marina Alex @MarinaAlex113]

@DebeshSahu1219 @beh353 It's interesting that this article mentions the Mediterranean diet because it seems it is getting more recommended lately. I think it's great that these diets are getting more common because the keto diet can be unsustainable. #beh353 @beh353

This article demonstrates that food is not the sole factor in preventing IBS. Regular sleep, vigorous physical activity, and eating less processed foods are essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating a Mediterranean diet can also help prevent IBS. #beh353 @beh353
