I have learned how essential nutrition is to various aspects of a patients health. I also learned how personalized care needs to be provided to patients in terms of nutritional needs. Also, preventative care is very important and is a practice that I will incorporate. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I chose to repost this because this week is Thanksgiving week. Many people may forget or overlook the importance of making sure the various foods they are consuming are safe to eat, and this post provides guidelines on how to do that.

The food I am most looking forward to eating on Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes. Instead of making the same recipe every year, I try a different one each year. I also usually make gravy to go with the mashed potatoes, and try new recipes for that too. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I chose to repost this because it relates to this weeks discussion of how treatment by others can impact one's health. Especially in the context of weight, people are often discouraged by comments by those around them and this can negatively impact both mental and physical health.
most people don’t have a problem with their weight, they have a problem with the horrible ways they get treated by others because of their weight.
instead of trying to “fix” an individual’s weight, what if we tried to fix some of the rampant anti-fat bias out in the world?

I reposted this because it relates to the barrier I chose, preferred taste for unhealthy food. Unhealthy foods may seem more appealing, but they often have negative impacts. This post does a good job of emphasizing the short and long term impact of greasy foods as well as providing alternatives.
Greasy foods are tasty but can cause bloating, weight gain, and increased health risks if eaten excessively. Fried foods slow digestion, strain your gut, and impair brain function. Opt for grilled, baked, or air-fried instead. #NationalGreasyFoodsDay www.healthline.com/nutrition/gr...

One barrier I have is lack of self-regulation behaviors and preferred taste for unhealthy food. Living in Boston, there are lots of new food and drink spots that I will try. This is a barrier because I eat healthy regularly, but often "cheat" with these foods and drinks. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I choose to repost this because healthy eating has an important relationship to supplements and vitamins. Many people often chose to take supplements and vitamins as a substitute for eating healthy. This is not always beneficial or the best choice to make.

I reposted this because it's similar to the article I discussed this week. The article I found compares omega-3 in oily vs non oily fish. This one compares the omega-3 in wild-caught vs farm-raised fish. It says that wild-caught fish have more omega-3 but both options are still nutrient dense.

An article from National Health Service recommended eating fish at least twice a week, and oily fish for at least one of these meals. Examples of this include salmon, trout, sardines, etc. Oily fish are high in omega-3 fats which can help prevent heart disease. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I chose to repost this because of my post this week about paleo diets. Looking at this recipe specifically, I am able to see the various aspects of this meal that both meet and do not meet the requirements of a paleo diet. This recipe shows that a fad diet is not necessarily the only healthy option.

The results from tracking my intake were mostly accurate. There were some aspects such as toppings or condiments that made tracking more difficult and may have resulted in a lower accuracy.

A fun fact about proteins is that they break down into 21 different amino acids. These amino acids are also further divided into essential, conditionally non-essential, and non-essential. 9 of these amino acids are essential, and are necessary for our health. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I chose to repost this because I feel it is important to acknowledge that health related to nutrition is affected by more than what we consume. This post emphasizes that an often over looked factor, sleep, can also have an extremely significant impact on health.
Sleep is often overlooked in health, but it affects energy, appetite, and even blood sugar regulation. Adults need 7–9 hours per night. Consistent sleep schedules, limiting late caffeine, and reducing screen time before bed make a big difference. #RealWorldNutrition
