This is a great reminder that gardening edible plants does not have to be only done in the warm seasons. Beets, Cabbage, Carrots and much more can still be planted and ready to eat by new years. A great way to stay productive and healthy. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
There are still a few edible plants that can go in the ground this season. Use this time in the garden to reflect on the past year and look forward to a new chapter. You will be grateful to see your homegrown food appear in the new year! gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/infographics...

I relate to the barrier where I am influenced from the unhealthy diet of friends and family. My family cooks lots of food which are high in fat and oil, they then say insist I eat more because I am young. With friends, I always eat wherever everyone agrees to go. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I agree with this because while we we focused on fad diets this week, it is important to remember that balance is key. If we focus too much in one area such as dieting, our bodies can be affected negatively. Factors like sleep and exercise are also important for health. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This week we learned about digestion and a little about BMI. Moderation is very important in everything, but especially when it comes to our bodies. Obesity can lead to fatal issues, which is why it is important to monitor our food intake and know what we are putting in our bodies. #beh353
Obesity rates have climbed from 15% in 1980 to over 42% today. Food matters, but so do portion sizes, less activity, and lifestyle shifts. I dig into the bigger picture in my new blog, Rising Obesity Rates & Sedentary Lifestyles: www.shelleyrael.com/blog/obesity...

In the lecture from this week, we learned vitamin c is water soluble and participates in energy metabolism. Peaches contain fiber as well which feeds gut bacteria and reduces cholesterol. Both can be found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
A medium peach has around 60 calories, vitamin C, and 2 grams of fiber. Eat the skin for extra antioxidants. Nutritious, simple, and portable. Enjoy the fresh peach season, but don't worry, frozen ones are great too, so if you have too many...freeze them. #RealWorldNutrition

A fun fact I learned is that carbohydrates are the quickest macronutrient that our body can break down, making it a fast way to fuel ourselves. On the other hand, macronutrients like fats or proteins take a much longer time to be broken down. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I think the importance of sleep is often overlooked. I notice when I have early classes in the morning and did not get sufficient sleep the night before, it makes an impact on the knowledge I am able to retain. My question is, what are the longterm effects of not getting enough sleep over time?
Sleep is often overlooked in health, but it affects energy, appetite, and even blood sugar regulation. Adults need 7–9 hours per night. Consistent sleep schedules, limiting late caffeine, and reducing screen time before bed make a big difference. #RealWorldNutrition
