As a future healthcare professional, I would educate my patients on the important connection between mental health and nutrition. As mentioned, healthy body = healthy minds. Therefore, spreading knowledge on such topics would allow patients to improve their mind and body.

I really like this post because it highlights the importance of getting enough sleep. Specifically, during finals weeks many people tend to not get enough sleep which can effect their overall performance more than they think. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Typically, during finals week I aim to gravitate towards quick and easy meals. This can be achieved by meal prepping or eating meals with high protein and low effort. Also, my roommates and I take turns cooking so we can all spend more time studying throughout the week. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

In terms of this week's lecture, I decided to share this post because dandelions remind me of my childhood. Dandelion greens having nutritious value make me feel better about the ones I may have consumed.

#Dandelions are a wild food. The young spring leaves are a great green salad, and the older leaves are great when cooked or used as a pot herb. #DandelionDay www.canr.msu.edu/news/dandeli...

A CDC article states that "good nutrition starts early". As a future therapist, it is believed that our beliefs and the way our personalities get shaped correlate with our childhood, which may also be connected with food choices. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353 www.cdc.gov/nutrition/fe...

I found this article helpful after reading about the connection between obesity and poverty. Therefore, I think it is essential for everyone to read such articles to enlighten themselves on how they may efficiently fuel their body and recognize the changes in their mental and physical health.
Food prices keep rising, but that doesn’t mean healthy eating is out of reach. From seasonal shopping to making the most of SNAP benefits, there are ways to eat well on any budget. Check out my latest blog for 10 practical tips to save money while eating nutritiously.

This post stood out to me because I was able to resonate with the quote. I believe that we all tend to highlight our insecurities and that comes an extreme urge to change. Therefore, I believe through proper diets and discipline we can achieve the change we strive for. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

In James Corden's video, a fact that stood out to me was "childhood obesity is directly linked to poverty". Obesity is seen through junk food, lack of portion control, and not exercising. However, poverty can play a significant role due to lack of healthy food options. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

A barrier that I can relate to is lack of time to plan, shop, prepare, and cook healthy foods. Between balancing work, school, and working out designating time to these tasks is difficult. Therefore, I tend to gravitate towards meals that don't require much time to cook. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This image depicts a list of foods which can help increase protein intake. Many individuals struggle with consuming their daily requirement for protein. Therefore, finding food items that are rich in protein can make it easier to meet daily nutritional needs. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

One of the most popular types of supplements is protein powder. After a workout, meeting the daily protein requirement is crucial for muscle growth. Adding protein powder to smoothies has been an effective way for me to boost my protein intake.

A fad diet that peaked my interest was juice cleanses. This diet involves only consuming fruit or vegetable juices for a specific period. Upon reflection, I believe that partaking in such would be very difficult and would not satisfy my appetite. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This image highlights the importance of understanding what we put into our body. Consuming meals with more nutrition density can reduce appetite for an extended period of time. Therefore, making simple changes can lead to an overall improvement in health and wellness. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
February 12, 2025 at 5:32 PM
Regarding my usual food choices, I can make them more nutrient dense by swapping sour cream with greek yogurt, sugar with fruits, and white bread with whole grain bread. Also, consuming more fruits, veggies, and proteins while limiting processed food is essential. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I found this post very insightful because having well-balanced meals are very essential for our diet! However, I find creating such meals very challenging due to having to consume a variety of foods in one meal. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Many winter vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, squash, and parsnips, are great sources of carbohydrates. The conversion of carbohydrates into glucose provides as an adequate fuel source. Therefore, these meals are great ways to get our nutrients up! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
January 27, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Carbohydrates are an essential macronutrient for our body. Carbs like grains, fruits, sugar, and fiber get converted into glucose for fuel. Glucose is important because it is one of the only nutrient molecules that can pass the blood brain barrier! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
