Didn’t realize fresh cranberries had so many benefits. Good reminder about the added sugar in processed ones. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Cranberries are naturally tart, which is why most cranberry products have added sugar. Fresh or frozen cranberries are a different story and offer antioxidants, fiber, and a sharp flavor that works in both sweet and savory meals. A small boost with real benefits. #RealWorldNutrition

Someone asked why melted cheese tastes so much better...I love these Qs, it's food science we take for granted!
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.

I am currently trying to find an alternative oil to use while cooking but unfortunately I am allergic to coconut oil. My parents use it and have seen the benefits.
Coconut oil may smell nice and be beneficial for the skin, but as a cooking fat, it is high in saturated fat and not considered heart-healthy. Learn why moderation matters. Read: Is Coconut Oil a Healthy Fat? Separating Fact from Fiction #RealWorldNutrition

I agree, it’s not just about the diet and exercise but also giving yourself time to recharge mentally. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Self-care often gets dismissed as indulgence, but it is really about maintenance. Fueling with real food, staying hydrated, moving the body, and giving the mind a break are basic health needs. Consistency matters more than intensity. #RealWorldNutrition #Wellness

I agree! Definitely staying calm with stress about nutrition makes it easier to make healthier meals.
We talk about what to eat, but less about how we think about it. The stress, judgement & fear around food choices aren’t just exhausting—they make eating decisions harder. We don't think as clearly. We default to habits & jump to conclusions... That’s probably not helping anyone eat better.
