MCPHS '24

[Angie @angnavo24]

This course has taught me so much on what nutrition entails. I plan to incorporate what I have learned in my role as a future health professional by working with dietitians/nutritionists to help provide credible and beneficial nutritional resources for patients. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

MyPlate Look and Cook Recipes for kids seems like a very fun and creative way for children to learn nutrient dense meal prep! Children would learn the importance of a balanced meal and benefit from this concept because it provides an interactive approach. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

@DikoMadison @beh353 Hi Madison! I definitely agree that this course has taught us how to provide better care for future patients in terms of incorporating nutrition information for care plans. I love the idea of you planning to help end the unfair biases of treatment for overweight patients.

[Angie @angnavo24]

This is an interesting idea to promote healthy eating habits even around the holidays! The art of using cookie cutters for other food items such as cheese, fruit, bread etc. definitely adds a fun way for kids to learn to prepare healthy meal portions. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

@Faithfullfittt @beh353 Hi Faith! This would definitely be a huge step forward in helping children from young learn how healthy eating can benefit them. Fun activities are one of the best ways of providing understanding for healthy relationships with food for kids!

[Angie @angnavo24]

Thank you @EmmaDArpinoRD for your time and insights shared in lecture this week! It was amazing to learn that it is better for the body to process a food addiction itself rather than trying to eliminate it because you were told to. Thank you for the resources! @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

This is a very interesting article! It touches base on the effects that eating poorly has on the blood vessels in our bodies. I learned that our blood vessels can have a "memory" of molecular/disease signatures in certain organs if a poor diet is introduced. @beh353 #beh353

@achen4206 @beh353 Hi Ada! It definitely is important for such articles to include dietary needs for children and what the parent can do as a role model to make the process much smoother.

[Angie @angnavo24]

This article would provide parents with ways to help their children eat healthy in a very detailed but straightforward way. Having a nutritious diet for children is equally important in comparison to adults. Children are the future! @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

This article is very interesting! I learned that having a healthy plant-based diet is not altogether necessarily healthier than less healthier plant-based diets. The reason is the difference in effects on that particular person and the impact on the environment. @beh353 #beh353

[The Nutrition Source @HSPHnutrition]

"The differences between plant-based diets was surprising because they’re often portrayed as universally healthy and good for the environment, but it’s more nuanced than that." -@AvivaMusicus discusses study on healthy vs. less-healthy plant-based diets. https://t.co/L09K0co732

[Angie @angnavo24]

@BEH353_Brynn @beh353 Hi Brynn! Empathy is definitely very important in the medical field. This week's article really opened my eyes to how some healthcare providers have a take on a patient's weight without knowing the potential cause or background knowledge.

[Angie @angnavo24]

After reading the article, as a future provider I can make sure to try to promote considering a well balanced and nutritious diet. In doing so, I will also make sure not to inflict any judgment on the status of the patients' current weight. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

This was interesting to learn! I've always known that yogurt has a lot of benefits but never knew it could help with weight management and reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes. @beh353 #beh353

[The Gut Health Doctor | Dr Megan Rossi (RD, PhD) @TheGutHealthDoc]

Have you may have been overlooking the health benefits of this tasty snack 😋? Studies have linked yoghurt to a range of health benefits like better weight management and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. However not all yoghurts are equal 🥛. Read more…https://t.co/J1sGBP32ky

@Muskanp197 @beh353 Hi Muskan! That fact is very interesting. I never really realized how children in poverty are linked to child obesity. I can now see how they would lean towards unhealthier food options because of the price. Donating healthier food options would definitely be beneficial.

[Angie @angnavo24]

I learned that lack of sleep can cause obesity. It is very interesting to know that obesity can be linked to lack of sleep. Moving forward, I will professionally in the future express how important lack of sleep affects the weight fluctuations of the body. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

This was very interesting to watch and read about! Sweet potatoes are definitely an underrated vegetable but have so many benefits. Fun Fact: Trypsin inhibitors of sweet potatoes storage roots can reduce certain cancer cells. @beh353 #beh353

[Michael Greger, M.D. @nutrition_facts]

Sweet potatoes are not just one of the healthiest and cheapest sources of nutrition; the predominant protein is a type of protease inhibitor that may have cancer-fighting properties. https://t.co/oCjRoBOYRe

@dakotaxcheyenne @beh353 Hi Dakota! I definitely agree finding time to prepare meals all of the time can become tough because of a busy schedule. I love to prep my food as well so this is a major barrier that I can relate to.

[Angie @angnavo24]

A barrier that stood out to me was lack of time to plan, shop, prepare and cook healthy foods. I can relate because living on campus sometimes makes it hard to make the time to shop, prep, and cook a healthy meal due to the workload and becoming tired after. @beh353 #beh353

[Angie @angnavo24]

This article was a very interesting read! Having an app that can tell you the underlying cause of a condition would be beneficial to future healthcare. DIET ID can give cardiac patients a way to help themselves by eliminating triggering foods from their diet. @beh353 #beh353

@then_katherine @beh353 Hi Katherine! I have realized that caffeine is found in a lot of products that you would not expect. Caffeine has its benefits but does also have many cons. It was very interesting to learn how athletes can perform better with caffeine.
