@lilleest24 @beh353 This is a great article to share! I feel as if during the colder months more water is important ti keep your body healthy during a time where everyone is getting sick! @beh353 #beh353

It’s important especially as we get older that we eat healthy food to keep our bodies strong and immune systems well especially since as people age they have a worse immune system and more prone to being sick and hospital visits. @beh353 #beh353

As a future health professional, I plan to share the role of nutrition in preventive care, especially for marginalized communities. Food is medicine and access matters. I’ll advocate for healthier choices, education, and policies that support equitable nutrition. @beh353 #beh353

@lilleest24 @beh353 I have to agree mashed potatoes are sooooo yummy! Especially with some gravy added on top of them! @beh353 #beh353

The greatest food holiday, Thanksgiving, is tomorrow!

As you enjoy your annual feast, here's a breakdown of the classic #Thanksgiving flavors.

Beyond flavoring, #nutmeg has been used as a traditional remedy for stomach or kidney disorders. Nutmeg extract has been studied for potential anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing purposes but mainly in animal models.

#Bayleaves have been associated with gastroprotective activity as an aid for digestion in animal studies.

#Sage has long been used as a spice and for health or medicinal purposes as well. A few studies discuss its use to improve sore throat, mood, or blood cholesterol levels, but these findings are preliminary.

#Thyme extract has been shown to help alleviate symptoms of bronchitis.

#Clove, one of the most valuable spices, has been used as a food preservative for centuries. Clove essential oil has also been associated with having antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, and antiviral activity.

My favorite thing to eat on thanksgiving is my family’s stuffing recipe! This is something my great grandfather started. It has cubes of bread, ground beef, potatoes, onions and lots of seasonings! It’s my favorite since we only have it once a year. @beh353 #beh353

While some people enjoy salt it must be used in moderation! Knowing how much salt is in something is improtant to help keep you and your loved ones healthy during the holidays! @beh353 #beh353

@ounwin3 @beh353 Great article! I also enjoy how simple it is and makes it easier for parents to read so that they can educate their kids on the importance of nutrition! @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

This article is a great way to help show you to promote your kids to eat healthy. Learning why we need to eat healthy at such a young age so an article like this is a great tool to teach parents. @beh353 #beh353

Leeks are something I’ve recently started to try and found out I love! They are a great vegetable that can be cooked in many ways! @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

@carolin9306010 @beh353 I completely agree with this! People think if someone is skinny then they are healthy without actually looking at what they eat or drink! Paying attention to your diet is much more important than how you look! @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

One thing that stuck with me is that habits matter and are important. Getting into habits to take care of your health and body are what important not looks. If the doctor says you are healthy then that is what matters and good habits can help you stay healthy. @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

@Ridhi_Thotakura @beh353 This looks great! Definitely looks like a great recipe to try out! As someone who’s always looking for new things to try before a workout thank you for sharing this! @beh353 #beh353

Many people do not realize there is different types of sugars and where you can find them! This article showcases that and shows all sugars aren’t bad! This is helpful because unless you have taken a biology class that teaches this many people do not know! @beh353 #beh353

🌟 Did you know there are different kinds of sugars? Simple sugars are called monosaccharides; these are made up of single sugar molecules. Let’s break down the three main types of monosaccharides! 🌟

Glucose: The body's primary energy source! Found in fruits and honey, glucose is crucial for keeping our cells energized. 🥭🍯

Fructose: The sweetest of them all! Commonly found in fruits and root vegetables, fructose adds a natural sweetness to your diet. 🍎🥕

Galactose: Less sweet but equally important! Found naturally in milk and dairy foods, galactose combines with glucose to form the disaccharide lactose. 🥛🌿

Understanding these building blocks of carbohydrates can help you make informed choices for a balanced diet! #FoodInsight

One fact that I learned is that the body likes to maintain a certain amount of weight. I would incorporate this professionally by explaining to people that this is something else to factor in when trying to lose weight so they do not lose hope. @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

@Ridhi_Thotakura @beh353 As someone who also has a lack of time in the morning I completely understand! One tip I would love to share is making something like overnight oats or a yogurt bowl that you can easily pack into a container and take with you! i think it works greats! @beh353 #beh353

[Chloe Dexter @dexter58730]

The barrier I choose is the relative cheapness of unhealthy foods. Growing up with a single mom, money was tight, influencing what we could afford. Low-cost options were our norm, even if they weren’t the healthiest. showcasing some economic pressures for people @beh353 #beh353
