Whether healthy people people should take supplements is somewhat controversial. Many say they are unnecessary, however, studies show that athletes may benefit from pre-workout supplements. However, natural nutrition and hydration should take priority.

I plan to incorporate nutrition in my role as a future health professional by keeping in mind that the best diet is the one you’re willing to follow. This is crucial when discussing nutrition with patients, especially because there is no single best and healthiest diet.

The USDA estimates 30% of the U.S. food supply ends up in the trash. Use it before you lose it! Bruised fruit? Use in a smoothie. Wilted veggies? Toss them in a soup. Leftover meat? Make a casserole. eatgathergo.org/recipe/mix-and-match-skillet-meal/ #FoodWastePreventionWeek

Women generally have less water in their bodies and metabolize alcohol more slowly, leading to higher blood alcohol levels. This makes them more vulnerable to alcohol-related health risks, which is why their recommended limit for drinks per day is lower than for men.
