At the end of this class, I'd like to emphasize the importance of fiber once again! Whole grain foods are good sources of fibers. This article explains the effects of fiber which support healthy digestion! @beh353 #beh353

#DYK: Consuming whole grain foods that contain fiber, as part of an overall healthy diet, can support healthy digestion and may help with weight management. Learn more https://t.co/u6EIbK3mce

@Jesmain_BEH353 @beh353 Hi, Sarah! You made a great summary of @beh353 class! I agree that there can't be perfect diets, and extreme diets like fad diets are not sustainable. Even though it's hard to eat healthily, it's important not to give up and do it consistently! #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

I learned from @beh353 that nutrition is directly linked to health, which can lead to various diseases and make us healthy. So I'd like to consult with RDs to provide appropriate treatment! I'll pay attention to identifying reliable info to be provided to patients. #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

It's the summary of the current science! End of the semester, I learned a lot from this Twitter activity that there is misinformation about nutrition. Most people think red meat isn't good for health, but unprocessed red meat isn't a major risk for heart disease! @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

@PhoebeSeto @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 Yes, we can definitely eat processed and frozen foods with carefulness! Frozen foods are cheaper and more accessible b/c they have a longer expiration date. Frozen berries are one the good example that frozen foods can be more nutritious! @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

Thanks, @EmmaDArpinoRD! I never thought about the word usage of milk. I realized that cow milk is different a lot from soy, almond, and oat milk. These are actually not from the mammal so we can't say it as milk. We can say it as oat JUICE! Very interesting! @beh353 #beh353

@kjohnson31 @beh353 Hi, Kaylee! I agree that this article is helpful for pregnant women. This article gives the specific types of foods, and it can help those who don't know what foods have to eat for helping their baby grow. It's based on 25 scientific research pieces of evidence! @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

This video gives some tips on how parents can promote children to eat vegi and new foods! The video suggests that🥗🥦+fave meal. It's important to provide them with nutritious food, but it's also important to make them enjoy it and eat it well(I mean sufficient!).@beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

I would choose this infographic, so I would tell my patient's(child) mother to make a child breakfast by referring to this. Because it's very easy to read and based on "School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study" and "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025". @beh353 #beh353

Obese people are treated as having a higher cardiac disease. It can be true, but it can't always be true. Regardless of your weight, just add fatty fruit like avocado to reduce heart attack risk. It's supported by scientific research. Interesting! @beh353 #beh353

[Dr. David L. Katz @DrDavidKatz]

Eating 2 servings a week of 1 fatty fruit can reduce heart attack risk, study says | CNN https://t.co/nV7iWRlp43

@Vinatmcp @beh353 Hi, Vin! I so much agree with your opinion. Comfortable environments and trusts between patients and doctors help patients to have the motivation to reach their goals. Healthcare providers always try to make it like that👩‍⚕️ @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

"Fat people who feel discriminated against have shorter life expectancies than fat people who don't." This sentence in the reading makes me a shock, and I realized that weight doesn't mean health. Giving motivation to patients is needed to be a healthcare provider.@beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

"A study conducted by the University of Michigan health system found that childhood obesity is directly linked to poverty."
This link explains what USDA is doing to make equitable systems that allow everyone to eat equally healthy food. Worth reading! @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food and Nutrition @USDA_FNA]

#NutritionSecurity must be equitable and inclusive. Disparities in diet-related diseases are often rooted in systemic issues. FNS is advancing nutrition security in a way that is #equitable for all.

@PhoebeSeto @beh353 Hi, Pheobe! I was also surprised to see 17.7% of children's obesity rate. It's true that most children get nutrients from school meals, but the options for healthy food are not diverse in reality. As healthcare providers, we will have to improve this! @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

"Fun fact, if you shame obese children, whole foods will be given them free salads. I'm kidding, that's not how whole foods work."
I was shocked by the lecture that 17.7% of children were obese. Children's fast food intake rate was higher than expected. @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

Here is the information about healthy eating! The article said that plant-based meats are processed foods, but they may still protect your heart. There is also supporting research. Amazing! @beh353 #beh353

[Center for Science in the Public Interest @CSPI]

Plant-based meats are processed foods, but they may still protect your heart. More from #NutritionAction:

Moreover, there are food combinations that have healthy/unhealthy effects when eaten together, but it is very difficult to think about it and practice it when cooking. @beh353 #beh353

[Yeongeun Jo @YeongeunJo]

I think one barrier to healthy eating is the lack of knowledge and skills to plan for, shop, prepare and cook healthy foods. I still can't clearly know which way is healthier, boiling, stir-frying, or steaming vegetables. @beh353 #beh353

@Samantha0439339 @beh353 Hi, Samantha! I also have experience throwing away food because I don't know how to store it properly. It is difficult to know the right way to store each ingredient, and it is confusing because people have different opinions. @beh353 #beh353
