On topic with this week’s objective, the MyPlate is the official symbol of the five food groups that you should be consuming. It shows the ideal portion sizes to help achieve goals with healthy eating. MyPlate should be taught about in all schools! @beh353 #beh353

I chose an article from USDA, which is a .gov website meaning it belongs to an official gov. organization in the U.S. It offers a list of ways to improve your child’s eating. It is a simple read for parents or the child themself! https://t.co/ebbefgCssA @beh353 #beh353

Understanding the perspective of patients who struggle with their weight is important for their progress towards a healthier life. Some believe that being thin is indicative of being healthy, but that isn’t always the case. Your own balance & health matter more. #beh353 @beh353

@KarinaThomas353 @beh353 Hi Karina! I agree that many people are constantly overlooked due to their physique. As future healthcare professionals, it’s important to take everything into account & make the patients feel comfortable/welcomed. @beh353 #beh353

It’s a good idea to incorporate a variety of fruits or nuts into your breakfast! Fruits can reduce blood cholesterol levels & risk of heart diseases. Nuts are a good source of protein, vitamins, & minerals. Both have many benefits to our body. @beh353 #beh353

As a future healthcare provider, it’s important to be considerate & create a welcoming environment for our patients, especially since patients are already uncomfortable seeking medical help from professionals. We must be mindful of what others are going through. @beh353 #beh353

When I lived on campus, it was hard for me to maintain a healthy, nutritious diet because I would always pick whatever I was feeling in the moment. Schools always offer students unhealthy foods, so it is very tempting as it is easily accessible & cheap. @beh353 #beh353

[Tammy Nguyen @t711ngu]

@augustonevv @beh353 Hi Augusto,
I definitely agree with the fact that unhealthy, processed foods are more affordable than organic, healthy foods. It’s hard for students especially because we have various of food options at school and tend to choose the more cheaper/affordable ones. #beh353 @beh353
