I learned that small steps will lead to more progress, compared to trying to change all your habits at once. In Tom's case, rather than trying to eat only healthy food and also start working out, one simple change of eating a salad once a day allowed him to lose weight. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

The biggest barrier to healthy eating I face is the lack of time to cook healthy meals. After a long day of school and other activities, sometimes making instant ramen or mac n cheese is easier and more convenient than chopping vegetables and cooking a balanced meal. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

The Mediterranean diet seems to emphasize swapping healthy options, rather than strict rules. The diet uses olive oil consumption as a healthy fat, lots of whole grains, and places a limit on sodium. Credible sources say this diet reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
