@ashleydepriestrd.bsky.socialYes, it is easy to underestimate how much knowledge goes into nutrition, especially when someone is dealing with health conditions. Having a RD who understands the science can make a vast difference @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Show PostThis really stood out to me because I work as a pediatric CNA with kids who have G-tubes. It’s interesting to see how their GI anatomy and feeding methods can affect their nutrition and micronutrient needs. @beh353 #beh353
Show PostThis relates to what we talked about in class this week! BMI isn't the best checker for under/over nutrition. Since it only considers height and weight, BMI fails to consider things like muscle mass, bone density, and body fat. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Show PostI think it’s interesting how factors like muscle mass, inflammation, and food intake can all affect someone’s nutritional health.
Show PostI can admit I never really thought about a Registered dietian. When I thought of nutrition I would think of nutrionist. Despite my lack of knowledge back then I understand how imporant they are to healthcare.
