If "Exercise is Medicine" (@EIM_Canada), it only makes sense that "Food is Medicine." It's time healthcare professionals start highlighting the essential roles exercise and nutrition have on the prevention, management, and treatment of diseases and disorders. #KIN667

A very interesting, and necessary, DHT!

[madison brunke @madisonbrunke]

Nutrition is an essential part of many prevention and management treatment plans! However, it is insufficiently addressed by healthcare professionals during clinic visits. Ask your healthcare provider how nutrition can play a role in your treatment! #KIN667

Poor nutrition is the primary risk factor for death and disability in the US. BUT, poor nutrition is a modifiable risk factor and a cost-effective intervention. There are many apps, such as @MyFitnessPal, @glucosebuddy and @MyNetDiary, that can help you eat healthy. #KIN667

Before enrolling in the Integrative Wellness Program, I was unaware of the power of nutrition, specifically a plant-based diet. A plant-based diet helps combat CVD, CAD, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and many more diseases & disorders. #KIN667

It wasn't until my #KIN667 course that I realized how powerful Twitter can be in connecting with professionals and sharing information at large.

Did you know that @WHO estimates that, by 2020, depression will be the second leading cause of global burden of disease worldwide and that over 350 million individuals are affected by depression? #KIN667

Exercise is a valuable intervention that should be used for the management of depression while a patient awaits psychotherapy treatment. #KIN667

[madison brunke @madisonbrunke]

Did you know that exercise is an evidence-based alternative or "add-on therapy" treatment for depression? Research shows that exercise compares to antidepressant medications for mild to moderate depression and further improves systems when used in combination with meds. #KIN667

Adding 3 10-minute walks to your day can help improve your heart health! #KIN667

[American College of Sports Medicine @ACSMNews]

Not only can regular exercise lower your blood pressure, it can also boost your levels of good cholesterol, assist in weight loss, and reduce stress, tension, depression and anxiety. All of these are good for maintaining heart health! #HeartMonth #HappyValentinesDay

2 major barriers to “Exercise is Medicine” are that it’s easy to prescribe pills and it’s challenging to counsel patients on lifestyle and behaviour change. #KIN667

As @tgoetz shared in his @TEDTalks, fear does not drive behaviour change. #KIN667
