NG vs NJ feeding: NG’s are our go to tube for short term enteral feeding. Sometimes we opt for an NJ (which we place at bedside or placed by IR). Can you tell which tube is which? (disclaimer: all tubes should be EnFit) @Allan_Kaylee
Fibre. What a wonderful thing. Bulks the stool, freds the microbiome, reduces cholesterol and slows glucose absorption.
And yet, too much can cause some marked GI effects for some.
It’s all about balance.

I get asked about supplements all the time. Even with a great diet, I feel there is enough evidence that shows health benefits for:
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin C
- Omega 3s
- Creatine

We are part of the Commonwealth Northern Marianas Islands along with 13 other beautiful islands.
A us territory.
Lastly we're from the deepest part of world.
15.1850° N, 145.7467° E
There are 6 vitamin groups
A, B, C, D, E & K.
There is also Vit H which is actually B7
(Confused? You will be)
A,D, E & K are fat soluble
The others are water soluble.
Vit K comes from the German word Koagulationsvitamin

Here’s a pair of chunge’ at Påkpak Beach. Look at these beauties. Tremendous gliders, chunge’ use thermal updrafts to fly as far away as 120 miles. That’s why seafarers kept an eye out for them during voyages—their flight direction right before sunset indicated where land was.
I had this convo with a client yesterday so wanted to share in case anyone else is wondering: Frozen and canned fruits and veggies are AT LEAST as nutritious as fresh. They’re preserved at peak freshness and are an affordable way to eat produce.
