This is super fascinating to learn about! Eating citrus fruits can easily be incorporated into an everyday quick snack to get all the benefits from it! @beh353 #beh353

[Michael Greger, M.D. @nutrition_facts]

The reason eating citrus fruits appears to protect against cancer may be because of DNA repair enzyme-boosting powers of a compound concentrated in the peel. Watch the video "Citrus Peels & Cancer: Zest for Life?" to learn more: https://t.co/O0un2WhmiO

@jeenal_patel9 @beh353 Yes! I love the idea of promoting positive eating habits and educating patients on the misconceptions of nutrition! @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

As a future health care professional, I plan to incorporate my knowledge from this course by actually listening to my patients day to day life to help them find a realistic diet from there. It's important to realize that everyone has different needs for their diet @beh353 #beh353

As we get older, our bodies begin to slow down and weaken. It is important to incorporate physical activity as well as a well-balanced diet to maintain a strong and healthy diet! @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food and Nutrition @USDA_FNA]

Being physically active can help you stay strong and independent. For older adults, regular physical activity supports several health benefits, including brain function, balance, and bone strength. Learn more https://t.co/NUBUicjauj

@ChelsT_MCP22 @EmmaDArpinoRD Hi Chelsea! I can definitely relate to the struggle of junk food. I'm really glad to hear that you can technically still be healthy if you eat "junk." @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

@EmmaDArpinoRD Thank you for bringing up the topic of frozen produce vs fresh produce! I feel like frozen produce offers as much nutrition as fresh produce and more! @beh353 #beh353

This video discusses how eating Brazil nuts can help reduce cholesterol levels. It was interesting to see how eating 4 nuts was faster at reducing cholesterol levels than eating 8 nuts. @beh353 #beh353

[Michael Greger, M.D. @nutrition_facts]

A single serving of Brazil nuts may bring cholesterol levels down faster than statin drugs and keep them down even a month after that single ingestion. https://t.co/ri4lS46ONT

@ginashin18 @beh353 It's interesting to see how incorporating healthier choices in meals can reduce your risk of getting most chronic diseases! @beh353 #beh353

I would recommend this article to my patient if she was pregnant because it gives a brief overview of the important things she needs to be healthy, it's easy to read, and it's relatively short. @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

This article talks about how canned foods are a valuable and convenient way to eat fruits and vegetables. I think it's a good way to eat healthier for cheap and for when you don't have time to prep vegetables and fruit. @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

@ChiuNutrition @beh353 I agree that it's important to consider the patient's background when it comes to dieting because it gives HCP a sense of how to help their diet. @beh353 #beh353

Hobbs' article about obesity will remind me to be a future HCP without biases. Reading the accounts of all the patients' interactions with their HCPs made me feel very sorry for them because they try their hardest to change but are still met with insults from HCP @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

It's interesting to learn that one of the simplest things that can promote healing is to stay hydrated. I like that it is very simple because a lot of people don't have time to come up with an elaborate meal plan. @beh353 #beh353

We've all had a wound: a cut, scratch or scrape that breaks the skin. And luckily, good #nutrition may help promote wound healing.

@OliviaClaf @beh353 I'm on board with educating future patients that skinny does not always mean you are healthy. I feel like it would be difficult to promote that because social media is the main cause of this idea and it is hard to escape what you see on the media. @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

One thing that stuck to me is that there is an actual gene that is directly linked to obesity. Not a lot of people know that and do not take into consideration that obesity can be a genetic thing. @beh353 #beh353

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

@DaniellaCondon2 @beh353 I can relate to this too! So many of my friends always want to eat somewhere that doesn’t have the best healthy dishes because it’s inexpensive

[Mable Luu @mluu_mcphs]

It’s interesting to see how when someone tells you something is healthy, you’ll believe it. This article talks about how whole grains is associated with health benefits because the people who eat them are generally already healthy. @beh353 #beh353

[Michael Greger, M.D. @nutrition_facts]

Is whole grain consumption just a marker for healthier behaviors, or do whole grains have direct health benefits? https://t.co/lFdjdnz1Vd
