I plan to incorporate nutrition in my role as a future health professional by discussing what to look for while grocery shopping and how to understand labels. This will help patients make better choices with their eating habits by being more knowledgeable while shopping. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I love anything seafood! But, I have never tried crawfish and the nutrition profile looks great. That will be on my bucket list this summer.

One thing i’m going to look for in any nutrition post before i take it as a fact are credible sources. Lately, I’ve been loving honey glazed salmon which I make in the air fryer with white rice using rice cooker! it’s a quick and delicious meal @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is a nice guide while food shopping. The oils we use to cook our food actually does matter and can help cut out unnecessary calories and saturated fat intake! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

As a future dental hygienist, I would share this link with parents because it’s credible and easy to follow. It has many tips and facts that will help guide parents to a nutritionist and well balanced diet that will help with their systemic and oral health! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I completely agree, small changes are the key to making an impactful difference to one’s diet. Something that I started doing differently was using sugar free creamers for my coffee and being mindful on how much I am using. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Tom’s story shows that small goals with consistency can make a real change. It also showed that you do not have to make a drastic changes in your diet to lose weight and having certain foods in moderation is okay! It’s not a diet but a lifestyle. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is so true, it reminds me of the Cobb Salad from Chick-fil-a actually being the item with the most calories on the menu. We must be mindful of the dressings we use on our salads.

James Corden’s statement that fat shaming is not an effective method to weight loss, but is just bullying really stuck out to me. There are many reasons why one may be over weight, such as genetic or environmental factors. Fat shaming is just ignorant and unnecessary. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I love finding recipes that are quick and easy to prepare. As a college student it can be hard to find the time to meal prep and prepare meals that pack all the nutrients needed. I will be trying this! #beh353

A barrier that I am faced with is the lack of time to prepare healthier meals. As a student who commutes, i do not have much free time to plan and prepare my meals. Therefore I will usually eat foods that are easy and quick to access which aren’t always the healthiest. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Tea’s are a great way to get the benefits of herbs and dietary supplements. It’s a good alternative to having a coffee when you want something warm in the morning. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

A dietary supplement that I have look into are Chlorophyll drops, usually mixed with water. It became very popular a few years ago to promote weight loss. And I have seen that there are many other benefits such as improving acne, reducing inflammation, and boosts energy. @beh353.bsky.social #Beh353

Chai seeds contributing to reduced cardiovascular disease risk is so interesting! I will definitely be recommending patients to include chai seeds in their diet in the future. There are so many easy recipes you could make with them as well! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I would share this article to a patient because it provides information from professionals to describe the relationship between diet, nutrition, and oral health. This is a high quality resource as it provides evidence based information and refrences. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This is definitely a diet I would try! There are so many plant based options these days and so many recipes. The accessibility to plant based substitutions makes it easier to follow this diet and the benefits are amazing! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Juice cleansing is a diet in which one only consumes juices from fruits and vegetables. I could see where the benefits come in because fruits and veggies have many nutrients, but I wonder if the lack of fats and proteins in this diet would be more harmful than beneficial. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This sounds so yummy! I love pasta and switching to plant based pasta is a great way to make the dish more nutrient dense. More nutrients from the veggies and less empty calories. I can’t wait to try this! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I drink an iced coffee almost everyday. Lately I have been considering making my iced coffee more nutrient dense but switching the creamer/milk for a vanilla protein shake. I can add my espresso into the protein shake to reduce my sugar intake and increase my protein. @beh353.bsky.social #beh352

I love learning about different foods that can provide us with what we need. Food can cause healing when you are mindful of the benefits certain foods have. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Tracking what I ate in a day was easy because I used an app that helps to log your meals. What surprised me about what I saw was how many calories condiments can have, with no real nutritional value. It’s easy to consume a lot of empty calories with condiments. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is a a great reminder to be mindful of what we put into our bodies and what actions we can take to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of the nutrients we need and it is essential to get the proper servings daily! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Fun Fact: Carbs provide glycogen replenishment in your muscles. Glycogen is stored glucose that your body uses for energy, therefore carbs give you energy! And carbs are a good source of fiber which is important for your gut health! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is a great reminder that health does not only apply to healthy eating but also healthy habits. Being kind to yourself and others is important. And progress should be celebrated no matter how small, we need to give ourselves grace & celebrating every milestone to a healthier lifestyle.

What stood out to me was how common it is to come across misleading headlines and articles. My main takeaway was to always do further research when reading a headline by investigating where the author got their studies from and if the study is easy accessible. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

The FDA wants front-of-package nutrition labels required on packaged foods. The labels would tell consumers if the product has Low, Medium or High levels of saturated fat, sodium and added sugar.

My name is Yulianis and I am a Dental Hygiene major. I am taking this course because I needed an elective and nutrition peaks my interest. I've heard eating late at night is not healthy and I always wondered if that's true. Healthy eating= Balanced. My fav food is pasta. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
