@lexie_muscolino @beh353 I agree! Having healthy meals readily available in your fridge can reduce the amount of unhealthy eating you do. By making nutrient dense meals convenient for you, you can easily improve your diet! @beh353 #beh353

Eating a balanced diet can not only improve your health but prevent diseases such as cancer. By following the diet tips in this article, you can control your risk of cancer and have a better life expectancy. @beh353 #beh353

Over this past semester, I have learned how to effectively communicate with my patients and colleagues about nutrition. Using creditable sources in easy to read language, I can provide resources to those looking to improve their diets. #beh353 @beh353

@tcyr20 @beh353 Food storage is very important to remember, especially around the holidays! Keeping your leftover food in the fridge for only the recommended time is also key for keeping a safe diet. @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

Most food labels report natural ingredients but have no scientific evidence to back their statements up. It’s important to do your own research when buying vitamins and supplements. @beh353 #beh353

[Farm Babe @thefarmbabe]

Did you know that there is no formal rule to govern the term “natural” on food labels?

“Natural” does not me pesticide free, it does not mean non-GMO, and it does not describe anything about the nutrition, safety, or health of the product.

Quit spending money on words!

@EmmaDArpinoRD Thank you for your lecture this week, it was great! Your slides on fresh vs frozen produce were very informative. I tend to buy frozen veggies as I cook mainly for myself so knowing that they are just as nutritious is great! @beh353 #beh353

Growing a garden with young children is not only fun but helps kids become excited about eating more fruits and vegetables. @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

@tcyr20 @beh353 Including your children in making their meals helps them get interested in eating a balanced diet and allows them to have a healthy relationship with food. @beh353 #beh353

This article is helpful for those who are pregnant, as it not only describes what vitamins and minerals are necessary to help your baby grow, but it helps you create a “healthy eating plan” that can improve your diet @beh353 #beh353 https://t.co/H51Cx8ibBO

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

Frozen foods can help you get the nutritional value of fruits and veggies while making quick meals. They also last longer than fresh produce for those who only cook for themselves. @beh353 #beh353

@AkermanRochelle @beh353 I agree that it’s important to listen to your patient and diagnosis them based on their symptoms and not their weight. There are other reasons for them being overweight than just their eating habits @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

In the article, the doctor was encouraging an eating disorder, as the patient was overweight despite barely eating anything. It’s important to trust your patients and not judge their health based on their weight. @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

Knowing which fruits and vegetables are in season, can not only improve your diet but make your meals more delicious. @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food and Nutrition @USDA_FNA]

Spring has sprung, 🌷 which means that these tasty fruits and veggies are now in season. Eat seasonally with SNAP-Ed: https://t.co/sm3iF58PvA

@tcyr20 @beh353 It’s important to not only educate people in poverty on nutrition, but making it more accessible. Families struggle to put food on the table and have to overlook healthy foods due to its cost. Healthy food need to be sold at a cheaper price to improve their diets @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

I learned there are genetic links to obesity, making it more difficult for those people to lose weight. I can assist professionally by giving my patients the resources they need, like a nutritionist, to improve their eating habits and create a healthier diet. @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

Allowing access to nutrition for everyone is very important and having the resources in other languages than English can help. Hopefully in the future nutrition education can be available in other languages, besides Spanish, too. @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

@JBaker1002 @beh353 As I have a similar schedule, I agree that it is difficult to plan ahead to make healthy foods and sometimes it’s just easier to eat something unhealthy @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

I relate to being expected to eat unhealthy foods in certain situations, as when my extended family gets together it is difficult to resist and not eat the food that everyone has made. It seems rude to reject their food only because it is not the healthiest @beh353 #beh353

[Kaylee @kjohnson31]

@tcyr20 @beh353 This tip is very helpful for those learning to cook! Also, it is important to replace your wooden utensils and cutting boards once they have deep grooves and scratches, as this can trap bacteria that can not be cleaned. @beh353 #beh353
