Love this! Gardening is such a great way to connect with nature and nourish both the body and the soul. It’s awesome that you’re encouraging others to get kids involved too—it’s a great way to teach them about healthy eating and the environment. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
April is National Garden Month & Keep America Beautiful. #EarthDay is on April 22. Grow a garden, connect to the earth, & nourish your body. Get the kids involved! #KAB #garden

During finals, I survive on rice, eggs, avocado, and a ton of fruit. I keep snacks like trail mix and protein bars on hand too—quick, easy, and no brainpower needed. Anything that saves time and keeps me full is a win! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Tom Carroll’s story shows that weight loss isn’t just about food, it’s about mindset. His success came from shifting his relationship with eating, not just cutting calories. It reinforces that for lasting change and sustainable strategies, not extreme restrictions. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One barrier I relate to is the high cost of healthy food compared to unhealthy options. It’s frustrating seeing a fast-food meal cost less than a salad. Balancing nutrition with a student budget isn’t easy! Does anyone else struggle with this? #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I just learned that Vitamin D isn't only good for bones and supports immune function! I found it on the label of my daily multivitamin. Getting enough D can help reduce the risk of infections. Always a good reminder to keep my levels in check! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

“Harvard’s Healthy Eating Plate” is a great patient resource for balanced nutrition. It gives clear, science-backed guidance on portioning veggies, proteins, and whole grains. It’s high quality since it’s from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, making it credible. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Looked into the keto diet—seems great for quick weight loss, but is cutting out so many carbs sustainable long-term? Also, how does it impact heart health with all the high-fat intake? @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Just completed a 24-hour food recall! Surprised by how many little things I forgot to mention, like the butter on my toast or a handful of chips. It wasn’t super hard, but definitely made me more aware of my eating habits. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Did you know carbs are our brain's main fuel source? Without enough, we can feel foggy or sluggish. It's not about cutting carbs, but choosing healthy ones (whole grains, fruits & veggies) for long-lasting energy! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
