Nuts are such nutrient-dense snacks—rich in healthy fats, protein, and minerals. I love how each type offers unique benefits, like omega-3s in walnuts or vitamin E in almonds. A small handful can meaningfully support heart and metabolic health. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I really relate to this. When I'm laughing and eating with others, it's so easy to keep piling food on. “Slow down, taste your food, and stop at comfortable” is simple advice but the hardest to follow. I definitely overate again in this Thanksgiving…🥲

Thanksgiving foods are not the issue. How fast you eat and how much you keep piling on the plate matter more. Slow down, taste your food, and stop at comfortable instead of stuffed. Enjoy the day without overthinking it. #RealWorldNutrition

This post was a great reminder that SNAP isn’t about “bad choices”. It’s about barriers like income, transportation, and food access. People can’t choose what they can’t reach or afford. The issue is the system, not the individuals. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Before judging people on SNAP, understand what social determinants of health mean. It’s not about “bad choices” — it’s about access, income, and opportunity. The system needs fixing, not the people. www.shelleyrael.com/blog/social-...
