As a future cardiologist, I'll emphasize heart-healthy diets like DASH or Mediterranean, educate patients on nutrition's role in heart health, and collaborate with dietitians to support the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

One key thing to look for in a nutrition post before considering it fact is whether it cites credible sources, like peer-reviewed scientific studies, registered dietitians (RD's), or reputable health organizations (e.g. WHO, CDC, NIH).

Adults are just big kids-sleep before 10 helps mood, energy, hormones, and health. Kids need even more for growth, learning, and behavior. Healthy habits start young!

Reposting an article about mindless vs. mindful eating highlights how unconscious eating habits, like overeating or poor food choices, can contribute to obesity. By promoting mindful eating, individuals can develop healthier habits, improve portion control, etc.

This quote highlights the power of small, consistent changes over time. In the context of obesity, it's not about drastic measures but adopting sustainable habits- like regular exercise and balanced eating- that, when practiced consistently, can lead to huge improvements

Obesity is linked to socioeconomic status, with those in poverty having limited access to healthy food, often turning to unhealthy choices. Corden's views on fat shaming made me consider how this affects individuals, both mentally and physically.

Healthy eating boosts your immune system, which is crucial for college students. However, they often choose unhealthy, cheap, and easily accessible foods, making it harder to maintain a nutritious diet.

I chose the barrier of "Preferred taste for unhealthy food." I struggle with this barrier because I would rather get through my day by eating snacks than three meals daily. I struggle with this because eating snacks helps me cope with academic stress most of the time.

Pet peeve: Physicians who suddenly are talking about how eating vegetables and lowering saturated and including fiber in the diet improves metabolic health - as if this a new discovery nobody is talking about. #Dietitians have been talking about it for 50 years!

This week, I investigated the Master Cleanse Diet. In this liquid-only diet, you drink a concoction of water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for 10 days. These fasts don't provide enough nutrients though.

Vitamins and minerals play a huge role in keeping our bodies running smoothly! Iron is a key mineral for carrying oxygen in your blood. If you don't get enough, you might feel tired and sluggish because your body isn't getting the oxygen it needs. (e.g. red meat)

One key thing to watch out for when reading nutrition resources is credibility. There's a lot of conflicting information out there, and some sources may not be backed by solid research or might have a biased agenda. It's important to check if the resource is grounded in science! @beh353#beh353
