This is an amazing reminder that you don't need to feel on top of the world every day; we are human. I find many people hold themselves to perfection every day, which is not realistic, and we need to take days to reset and remember the basics, such as the food we eat! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
If today feels a little sluggish, that is normal. A balanced meal and some light activity usually help more than any drastic changes. Keep the day steady and practical. #RealWorldNutrition

Every Thanksgiving meal when my sister picks cranberries in Rhode Island and makes an amazing cranberry spread. In addition to frozen/fresh cranberries, we also have canned cranberries. It is very interesting to taste the difference between the two and how they ferment! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Cranberries are naturally tart, which is why most cranberry products have added sugar. Fresh or frozen cranberries are a different story and offer antioxidants, fiber, and a sharp flavor that works in both sweet and savory meals. A small boost with real benefits. #RealWorldNutrition
