Wow! This was a definitely an interesting topic. I always wondered how the food worked on cruises. What they do with all the leftovers and how much it cost. It never crossed my mind that they would use leftovers as a fuel source for other parts of the cruises! 🤯

From what I have learned this semester I plan to use a welcoming and non-judgemental environment when talking to patients about their nutrition choices. Many don't speak out due to the fear of being judge. I want patients to be able to trust and communicate in healthcare #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I agree that starting off the day with a normal breakfast is important it helps balance the day. I don't really understand why people believe that skipping meals will help them consume more food when it is time to eat a big meal. Did it once and in the first bite I noticed I wasn't hungry anymore. 😅

I see a lot of social media influencers promote supplements for skin, hair, vitamins, etc. They always talk about how it is the "best" supplement out there. Most of the times influencers are bound by contracts however they do not do their research. It feels like more of a money grab for them.
A lot of “health” advice on social media is a sales pitch. The supplement world is still like the Wild West, and affiliate links are everywhere. Know who benefits before you buy. Your health deserves more than influencer marketing. #RealWorldNutrition

Something that stuck out to me is that ppl in late adolescence and early adulthood don't have a lot of programs for those who are struggling with obesity. I think we should also focus on that range as many high school students may experience fat shaming from their peers. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

At first it seems more cheaper and who wouldn't want to eat healthy but when you start to add and compare it gets expensive and out of budget quick. Whole grain bread can range from $3-6 while white bread can go from $1-3. If ppl are on a budget most will choose the unhealthy option bc its cheaper

One barrier I relate to is not having the time to cook meals that are healthy and incorporating fruits. I feel like I barely eat any fruits in the week+I am on campus for the entire day so I don't have the time nor energy to make food even if I try to prepare in advance #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
