Loved this article! While the nutritional value of the food we pack for the beach or a picnic is important, as healthcare providers, cleanliness should also be just as important. We don't need any sickness that could be avoidable. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

As a future US tech, understanding nutrition helps me recognize how diet impacts the body, like fatty liver or vascular issues on scans. My knowledge will support patient care and communication with the healthcare team, even if I'm not giving direct nutrition advice. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

"Sneaky junk food in disguise" reminds me a lot about the NYT activity and how a lot of products you'd originally think weren't all that processed ended up being ultraprocessed. Salad dressings can definitely fool you, along with whole wheat breads. Read food labels! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Salads can be super healthy, or sneaky junk food in disguise. Creamy dressings, fried toppings & sugary add-ons = calorie bombs. Go for dark greens, grilled protein, fresh veggies, and healthy fats. Build smart, eat fresh! #Salads #nnm www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slid...

Tom's reluctance to return to the doctors after feeling ashamed reminds us that compassion matters in healthcare. If his doctor guided him to making healthy change feel achievable rather than shaming him, maybe he wouldn't have become diabetic nor have very high BP. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Food processing helps reduce #foodwaste and address hunger. Everyone does not have access to a farmer’s market, small organic food brands, or a community garden.

Love this post! Eating healthy does not mean you have to follow a strict, specific diet. We should listen to our bodies because healthy eating looks different for everyone. A balanced, non-restrictive, personal diet is the best one... no matter the name. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
We love to give diets a name; people love to create communities around them. People form factions to advocate for and against them. Quite often, this does more to harm than help.

A barrier I relate to is "preferred taste for unhealthy food." I am a picky eater, so chicken fingers sound better to me than a kale/quinoa salad. Unhealthy food seems to fill me up more too, I find myself still hungry after a snack of carrots over a small bag of chips. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

There is no “one right way” to eat. Healthy eating is not about being perfect for a day or a few months. Your lifestyle will always be a work in progress. Consequently, making dietary changes is something you commit to for the rest of your life.

The 24hr recall was eye-opening. I tend to have a negative view on my eating habits, but this made me feel better. I realized I am not a big snacker and I tend to listen to my body and stop eating if I feel satisfied/full (rather than finishing everything on the plate). #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Patient centered care is not, “I’m the expert so let me advocate for you for what I think should happen.”
Patient centered care is, “Here are your options, expected potential outcomes, risks/benefits. What do you think works best for you?”
