@Tiffanydo2002 @EmmaDArpinoRD @beh353 I agree! many people were influenced by many unrealistic beauty standards, which leads to many unhealthy diets because people want to lose weight quickly but this may be harmful to their health @beh353 #beh353

Vitamin C is important because it's linked to many health benefits like wound healing. Oranges are my favorite fruit because they are vitamin C-rich. I usually drink orange juice to make sure my body absorbs enough vitamin C. @beh353 #beh353

#DYK Vitamin C is essential in iron absorption, helps wounds heal, and protects cells from free radicals? Vitamin C can be found in many fruits and vegetables. What's your favorite #VitaminC rich food? 🍊🥦🍓 #NutritionSecurity

Thank you @EmmaDArpinoRD for the lecture this week! It was interesting to learn that you may be getting more nutritional benefits from frozen than fresh produce because I've always thought fresh produce is more nutritious. @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

@A_brown_8 @beh353 I agree with you! This article is easy to understand because it lists out what food is recommended and what food needs to be avoided during pregnancy. What the mother eats will go to the baby so it's important for the mother to get enough nutrients @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

Protein is important in bone building, we need to consume enough protein to meet our body's needs. Plant proteins are good source to get protein through your diet @beh353 #beh353

There's a (not-so-)secret formula. https://t.co/oPbCX9LyVQ

I would like to share this article with parents who are struggling with their kids' diet. This article is easy to read, it's about making a shift to healthier eating habits with realistic & helpful advice, but not just banning sweet food @beh353 #beh353

@BreMancuso29 @beh353 I agree! Rebecca was discriminated by her doctors just because of her weight and this was unacceptable. Never assume anything about someone's health condition only based on their weight @beh353 #beh353

It's important to drink enough water every day to prevent dehydration. Also, try to avoid surgary drinks because they contain calories but little nutritional value @beh353 #beh353

[Nutrition.gov @Nutrition_gov]

Drinking enough water is essential for your health! Discover how much water you need each day: https://t.co/ulexIHFV6S #WorldWaterDay

After watching this week's article, I've learned that diet is not so affective in weight loss because it's hard to change someone's eating habits and you'll eventually gain back more than you lost when stay hungry all day @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

@YeongeunJo @beh353 I was shocked by this too! I thought children were always active, but I think this is due to the high amount of candies kids consume & lack of physical activities once they go to school since they have to sit in classes everyday @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

I love seafood because it is nutritious! Seafood provides a source of nutrients that is essential in maintaining your health. @beh353 #beh353

[USDA Food and Nutrition @USDA_FNA]

#DYK: Seafood contains a range of nutrients, notably the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Eating about 8 ounces per week of a variety of seafood, as part of a healthy diet, can support health. Learn more https://t.co/17PXrInT4p

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

One thing I've learned from this week's lecture was that the childhood obesity rate is quite high. This is concerning because that'll lead to more health issues as kids get older. Parents & schools should start teaching children more about nutrition @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

Reading food labels can help you make a healthier food choice because not every product is really healthy as advertised. This article helps to determine which information is important and which information to skip @beh353 #beh353

[Vegetarian Times @VegTimes]

Do you know which terms matter and which are just marketing? Here's how to tell the difference. https://t.co/IKaQG6ZnkN

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

@lexie_muscolino @beh353 Hi Lexie, I can relate to this! I eat unhealthy food whenever I go eat out with my friends because they're tasty. So I try to balance my diet by eating more veggies after @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

One barrier that I encounter is lack of time to plan, shop, prepare & cook healthy food. Since I'm a full-time student & I have a part-time job, it's difficult to spend time to cook everyday because that would me a lot of time to prepare and cooking is not easy @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

@minhtrann5 @beh353 Hi Minh, I'm also surprised that this juice has no vitamins even though it contains 70% juice. I also realized this bottle of juice contains high level of sugars, which is not so healthy. @beh353 #beh353

[Nga Ngo @nngo0501]

Cross-contamination may happen in your fridge. Therefore, it's important to keep your fridge clean because you don't want bacteria to get into your food. @beh353 #beh353

[Vegetarian Times @VegTimes]

Today could be a good day for a fridge clean-out. https://t.co/lVsDticm7n

This supplement label is from Focus Factor gummies that provides nutrition for the brain. These gummies contain substances that helps improving your memory and cognitive health @beh353 #beh353
