I plan on incorporating nutrition into my future professional career by stressing the importance of macromolecules and balance in our daily diets. I plan on motivating my patients and be the healthiest version of themselves through what they consume @beh353 #beh353

@Camilaperea02 @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 Hi Camila! I really enjoyed this in @EmmaDArpinoRD’s chat too that we really have to be careful to look out for where our produce is coming from and the situation you’re in! Depending on an individuals goals, some foods are better than others! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

We learned a lot about vitamins and supplements this semester and although we can get many of our nutrients from food, certain supplements are so beneficial especially for women’s health! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

@EmmaDArpinoRD Thank you so much for educating us and bringing so many cool nutrition concepts to light! I really enjoyed when you mentioned that nutrition labels and facts are constantly bombarding us and how important recognizing where produce is coming from is @beh353 #beh353

@luzantara @beh353 Hi Luz! This does seem like a great article to give to parents to educate them on their child’s diet and making sure that the article is credible is super important! thanks for sharing :) @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

We’ve seen so many great food plates since the beginning of this course and here’s another one to add to our list! We always should make sure to balance our diets with the proper portions of fruits, veggies, protein and carbs #beh353 @beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

When educating parents and children about nutritional needs and healthy habits it’s important that these articles be factual and easy to understand. This article from Harvard even includes pictures! #beh353 @beh353 https://t.co/OIWmKVDxTz

Home cooked meals seem to be so much healthier and overall better for your health because you can control how much of something you’re putting into your meals for example adding veggies or limiting the amount of salt! @beh353 #beh353

Preparing food at home can be good for you and the environment! Enjoy meals with friends and family and add some variety by trying new flavors and foods from around the world: https://t.co/JcysAzTYZw

@joelleperron15 @beh353 Hi Joelle, this is a great thing to encourage because sleep is just as important to our health! Sometimes when we’re very motivated to achieve something, we forget the importance of the little things like sleep and food @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

Understanding this concept of obesity and how it relates to one’s health is critical. Although in some cases, being overweight can drastically cause health issues, it’s never okay to misdiagnose someone because it’s easier to blame it on their weight. @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

Food insecurity and malnutrition is something that many people don’t talk about often but is super important! People tend to go for the cheapest things they can find due to lack of affordable access to food causing malnutrition @beh353 #beh353

[eatright @eatright]

The consequences of food insecurity are great.

@taylorBEH353 @beh353 I agree! Education surrounding healthy nutrition is so important and everyone should be educated on maintaining a healthy weight for their own personal health benefits! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

One thing that stood out to me when watching this was when James mentioned that “childhood obesity is directly linked to poverty” which isn’t something that you might always think about but healthy eating starting from a young age can be very beneficial later @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

@Camilaperea02 @beh353 I agree that the healthier the meal the more expensive and it’s really hard as a college student to try and financially balance having a well balanced meal or taking the cheaper way out to save some cash! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

Food labels are very misleading these days and are hard for those who aren’t properly educated on nutrition! There are so many misconceptions trying to lure consumers in. @beh353 #beh353

[Farm Babe @thefarmbabe]

Confusing consumers does nothing to support agriculture. Food labels are some of the most controversial topics right now, and there are so many misconceptions surrounding what the terms actually mean. @AGDAILY

The unhealthy diet of my friends and family tends to be a big barrier I’ve been faced with since I was a child because growing up in an Indian household, my parents don’t understand how unhealthy some of the food we consume is but can be rude to refuse to eat it @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

@EPhamnguyen @beh353 Hi Emily! These look like a great way to add some nutritents into our daily lives and many women’s and men’s vitamins have great benefits but definitely not a substitute for the natural vitamins you can find in your every day diet but rather just a boost! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

As we continue to dig deeper into nutrition and what is good for our bodies, it’s important to learn about the various eating disorders and how they affect our diets and eating patterns! I had never heard of orthorexia until this article! @beh353 #beh353

[eatright @eatright]

Eating disorders and disordered eating can take many forms, one of which is the disordered eating pattern called orthorexia.

During National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, learn about orthorexia and how to recognize the signs: https://t.co/p5B4DbBo15

Omega-3 is a supplement that I have been taking for a while and have done some extensive research on. The benefits of this supplement are endless as it lowers blood pressure, reduces the chances of abnormal heart rhythm and the risk of heart failure and stroke! @beh353 #beh353

[Nidhi @nidhipate22]

After having learned about misleading labels, remember the word “organic” doesn’t always entail what you think it does! make sure to read the nutrition label and find out what ingredients you’re really putting in your bodies! @beh353 #beh353

[Farm Babe @thefarmbabe]

Do you ever feel bad about not being able to shop organic for your family?

These sensationalized buzzwords are meant to make you FEAR YOUR FOOD and guilt you into spending more.
