Absolutely! It’s wild how fruit gets demonized just because it has natural sugars. It’s all about the context—fruit comes with so many health benefits that ultra-processed sweets just don’t have. Love that you made space for both balance and nutrition! 🍓🍌 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
"Omg fruit is full of sugar and so bad for you!" Have you considered that it's also full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber? And a fun fact is that our bodies need these nutrients so no, it's not the same as eating something like ice cream. Not that anything is wrong with ice cream.
That’s such a smart approach, Jessica! Meal prepping can be a game changer during finals week: less decision fatigue and more time to focus. I’m inspired to prep a few meals this weekend, too. Thanks for the reminder! 💪 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
As a future aspiring NP, I’ll use nutrition knowledge to support patients managing chronic conditions, advocate for sustainable changes, and collaborate with care teams. Nutrition = healing, resilience, & long-term health. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Love that you’re thinking ahead; meal prep really is a game changer when life gets hectic. Good luck with the finals week! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Thanks for sharing this! Enteral nutrition is so important and often overlooked in conversations about patient recovery, especially in complex cases. Interventions like this can really impact outcomes and quality of care. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Review Article Enteral Nutrition in Hospitalized Adults An illustrated diagram and table of enteral access. The NEJM identity sits at the bottom.
The authors of a new review consider enteral nutrition in the context of disease-related malnutrition, provide evidence for the use of enteral nutrition in hospitalized patients, and discuss practice considerations. Read the full review: nej.md/43PVxHO

Finals = fuel mode. I rely on oatmeal with peanut butter + banana for breakfast, and I snack on almonds and Greek yogurt to stay focused! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Great point! there’s definitely been a lot of back and forth about fluoride, especially with conflicting info floating around. It's so important to distinguish between naturally high fluoride levels (which can be harmful) vs. regulated fluoridation for dental health. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Nothing reveals the true motives of the anti-water fluoridation folks more than the fact they never propose public health efforts to remove fluoride from the water where it is naturally high (the actual exposure in most ecological data used to suggest harm to neurodevelopment).
Hey Brandy! Love this pick! 🙌 HealthyChildren.org is such a solid go-to especially with the AAP backing it. I totally agree that busy parents need realistic and easy-to-digest info. Practical tips like these can really make a difference in day to day routines! 👏 #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Parents should have realistic, nutrition tips they can actually use. This @CDCgov article hits the mark:

It's simple to read, evidence-based, and takes you through nutrition from infancy to toddlerhood an important basis for lifelong health! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Love seeing spinach get the credit it deserves! 🌱 A versatile, nutrient-dense green that supports overall health, easy to add to smoothies, salads, and more. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
#Spinach offers numerous healthful benefits, including roles in supporting #heart health, #eye health, #digestion and #bone strength, and it provides vitamins A, C, K and #iron, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. www.eatingwell.com/spinach-bene...
Hey Macaylan, Absolutely! Tom’s journey proves that small, sustainable changes matter more than extreme diets. Creating a judgment-free space for clients can make all the difference in their success. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Tom Carroll’s story challenges the narrative on weight loss. His success is the power of consistency, portion control, & mindful choices even at fast food chains. A reminder that sustainable change isn’t one-size-fits-all! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Great breakdown of why sugar cravings happen! It’s key to recognize that cravings aren’t just about willpower—they’re often linked to deeper physiological and emotional factors. I’ll be more mindful of getting enough protein, fiber, and sleep to keep cravings in check! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Absolutely, George! Obesity isn’t just about willpower—it’s influenced by many factors like socioeconomic status, access to healthy food, stress, and even genetics. Understanding this helps us move away from blame and toward real, supportive solutions. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
I learned that weight stigma can contribute to poor health outcomes—stress from fat shaming increases cortisol levels and can lead to more weight gain and metabolic issues. We will promote health at every size and address weight concerns with empathy, not judgment. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Meal planning can definitely help with consistency, but I love the idea of blending it with intuitive eating for more flexibility, and looking forward to hearing your take on finding that balance. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Is meal planning helpful or too restrictive? In Ep 180 of Real World Nutrition, I break down the pros & cons of meal planning and intuitive eating—and how to combine the two for a sustainable approach to food. Listen now on your favorite podcast app or www.shelleyrael.com/rwn-podcast/...
Totally relate! Social settings make it so tough to stick to healthy choices. I’ve been trying to suggest places with better options or eating something small beforehand so I’m not as tempted. Have you found any strategies that help? #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Eating healthily is not simple. The price of healthful food is an obstacle. Being a busy student, I have spent a lot of $$$ on a 4-year on-campus living meal plan. Making healthful decisions shouldn't be expensive! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Great tips! It’s amazing how simple lifestyle changes and nutrient-rich foods can have such a positive impact on gallbladder health. Definitely adding more of these to my routine! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Eating more leafy #greens, #avocados, #lentils, #apples and #beets promotes healthy #bile production and digestion, while lifestyle habits—like drinking water, limiting #alcohol and #caffeine intake, and getting regular movement further benefit #gallbladder health. www.eatingwell.com/foods-to-eat...
I agree, Monica! It’s fascinating how common daily supplements have become. The breakdown of who benefits most and who should avoid them really adds important detail. Supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
Regular vitamin C may reduce the duration/severity of colds but doesn’t prevent them. Sea buckthorn, which has more vitamin C than oranges, supports the skin, immunity, heart, and digestion. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

Such an important point! Disordered eating can have serious effects even if it doesn’t meet diagnostic criteria. Raising awareness about unhealthy food relationships is key to promoting both mental and physical well-being. Thanks for sharing this resource! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
