Eating habits and relationships with food begin to form in childhood. It is so important for children to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods during childhood to help prevent the development of diet-related chronic illnesses later in life. #beh353 @beh353

@BrookeTaylor_xo @beh353 Hi Brooke! I enjoyed your tweet because you mentioned how every individual is different. Everyone's daily food needs will also look different based on lifestyle and other factors. Following fad diets just create unhealthy relationships with food. Great tweet! #Beh353 @beh353

I will incorporate nutrition into my role as a future health professional by creating relationships with the RD in my workplace. Before I did not view RDs as an essential part of the interdisciplinary team, but now I know they actively participate in patient care. #BEH353 @beh353

I wanted to highlight this tweet because of the emphasis we have put on the Dietary Guidelines this semester. I am excited that the 2025 guidelines will pay close attention to obesity, as it is one of the leading causes of chronic illness in the U.S. #beh353 @beh353

@ros_teda @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 Hi Teda! I had this same misconception about frozen vs fresh produce. I am grateful to now have this knowledge because frozen options can be more cost-efficient. Great tweet! #beh353 @beh353

[Shanell DeLaRosa @SDela_22]

@EmmaDArpinoRD, thank you for adding your expert opinion on some controversial topics! Your discussion about how our restrictive relationships with food make food feel addicting was so interesting: This gave me great insight, thank you! #beh353 @beh353

High intake of sugary drinks alone can influence the onset of many chronic illnesses like type two diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and more. You can significantly lower your risk of developing these illnesses by hydrating with water and eating a balanced diet. #BEH353 @BEH353

Regular sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, and sweetened water, coffee and tea contain calories but little nutritional value. Learn more about healthy alternatives to sugary drinks. https://t.co/9UDG22WOit #RethinkYourDrink

@GandhamSrinath @beh353 Hi Srinath, I completely agree that your diet influences your experience with health and illness. Chronic illnesses influenced by diet are some of the leading causes of death in the U.S. It may be beneficial to provide diet guidelines to all ages. Great tweet! #BEH353 @BEH353

As a future PA, I would recommend my elderly patients to access the NIH on Aging website for nutritionally balanced sample menus. The site also has easily accessible links to help manage vitamin, protein, or hydration needs and how to overcome diet obstacles. #BEH353 @BEH353

[Shanell DeLaRosa @SDela_22]

Updated food standards are preventative care measures used to intercept diet-related chronic diseases; Instead of funneling resources into therapies to treat present illnesses. The success of projects like this may influence funding for future nutrition studies. #BEH353 @beh353

@AkermanRochelle @beh353 Hi Rochelle, I agree that this week helped me better understand the experiences of obese individuals in healthcare and society. I will use this week's material to check on my implicit biases when caring for obese patients. Great tweet! @beh353 #BEH353

[Shanell DeLaRosa @SDela_22]

The reading stated how health systems treat obesity as a personal problem. After learning about the physiological and psychological components of obesity, I see it as a disease, not a behavior: That is the first step in mitigating the biases about obesity. #BEH353 @beh353

FoodCorps is fighting the obesity epidemic by educating children in schools about healthy eating and providing healthy food access regardless of race and income status. Children of low income often lack a quality diet leading to diet-related complications. #BEH353 @BEH353

@HenryBonenfant @beh353 Hi Henry,
I liked how you mentioned that losing weight and maintaining that new weight are two very different things. Losing weight is not only physical, it is also an emotional and mentally taxing experience that turns into a lifelong challenge. Great tweet! #BEH353 @BEH353

[Shanell DeLaRosa @SDela_22]

Overweight or obese preschool children are 5 times more likely to be overweight or obese as adults when compared to normal-weight children. Being overweight is not a clear conscious choice, factors like genetics, health conditions, and environment play a role. #BEH353 @beh353
