I love how you worded this post! This class truly educated me on the important role that diet plays not only physically but mentally. Being able to suggest small, tailored lifestyle changes can make all the difference for our future patients! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Hi, my family doesn't eat traditional Thanksgiving food either! It feels great to embrace our culture through food!! Food is such a powerful way to honor culture and identity, and sharing those dishes at the table makes the holiday even more meaningful! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is a great article choice because it is easy to read, with simple and accessible language. It would be an excellent resource to present to parents, because it suggests food ideas that parents can give to their children, and even implement into their own diet!

You make such a great point. As future healthcare workers, we must remember there’s no magic fix for all, and individualized care, especially for weight and nutrition, can make a huge difference. We should consider this for many things in life! It’s okay to start small!

Hey!! I am glad you pointed out the importance of reducing personal blame and instead searching for the underlying cause, which could very well be a genetic issue. Recognizing that personal struggles may stem from deeper, often unseen factors is much more beneficial. #beh343 @beh353.bsky.social

Hello! I can definitely relate to this barrier. Being a full-time student while also working and participating in extracurriculars can be incredibly stressful. I often feel like I have no time, or I'm simply too overwhelmed to even make decisions about healthy meals. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This week's topic has reminded me to take my vitamins! This article was beneficial, and not only did I learn that Omega-3 fatty acids have physical health benefits, but they also referenced an article that suggests people who consume more Omega-3 fatty acids show fewer depressive symptoms! #beh353

Hi, I agree, this is a great source to recommend to patients. It's easy to understand and includes a credible reference, which adds to its reliability. It's important to know there's more to carbs than just needing them for energy; the quality and type of carb matter! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
