I loved this statement! When energy feels low, focusing on a balanced meal and light activity can help stabilize both energy and mood. Small, practical steps often work better than drastic changes. Consistency in these habits can support overall well-being over time. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
If today feels a little sluggish, that is normal. A balanced meal and some light activity usually help more than any drastic changes. Keep the day steady and practical. #RealWorldNutrition

I recently learned about leptin and when that leptin is defective, it leads to constant hunger and obesity. However, hunger isn't only about biology. Many people fail to realize that there are a number of social factors as well that can impact someone's health. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

A fun fact is that there's a gene called leptin that is directly linked to obesity. This is interesting because for some people, weight gain isn't just about diet, it's literally in their DNA! It's important to look at the whole picture when in the healthcare field. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

“Natural,” “organic,” and “low carb” are front-of-the-package claims that can be true yet misleading. Labels are designed to sell, not necessarily to inform. Here’s what those tricky food label terms actually mean: www.shelleyrael.com/blog/labels-... #RealWorldNutrition

Melting breaks down fats and proteins to release umami + aroma/flavour compounds. The gooey texture spreads to the tastebuds better + the Maillard reaction creates that toasty flavour.
