Protein is important for muscle repair and immune function, but something I learned is that most Americans already meet their protein needs. Nutrition experts often stress that balance matters more than overloading on one macronutrient. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Nutrition education should be grounded in evidence, especially when teaching kids. Oversimplified or misleading visuals can distort how we understand macronutrients and micronutrients and their roles in long-term health. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This helps highlight how fad diets often rely on extreme claims and restrictions rather than evidence based nutrition. If diets sound too good to be true/ aren’t sustainable long term= red flag. Focusing on balanced realistic eating habits seems much more effective! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

The claim Oreos may be as addictive as cocaine sounds extreme, but the study didn’t actually compare them in the same experiment. Saying the results are comparable is a red flag since headlines can exaggerate findings and mislead people. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I’m health psych class 2027. I bodybuild nutrition and health play a big role. How healthy eating affects mental and physical health over time. Healthy eating = clean eating. I love sushi! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
