#AJCN authors used NHANES data to estimate dietary quality of children aged 6 mo to 4 yr. They found "dietary quality declines with age and may begin as early as 1 year." Dietary quality was higher among children in higher income & education households: ow.ly/TK6350wZm9v

At “Trick& Meet” we tallied sweet taste preferences in undergrads and 37% preferred an oh-so slightly level of sweet. Their preferences are more narrow than the general population. Wonderful to talk with students about factors that influence health behaviors! @HESNEPAmb

Today is the day!! Can't wait to see you there:)

Make sure to mark your calendar for our Trick and Meet event this year!!!

SPINACH 🍃Maybe Popeye was right! 🆕 study shows the impressive benefits of spinach extract (ecdysterone), increasing muscle mass & bench press performance, so much that researchers suggest it should be a prohibited substance in sport: bit.ly/2o3Eb8X

After our first round of midterms, we hope that all is going well. If they didn’t go so well or you even just want a little extra help, remember to check out your professors’ office hours! npr.org/2019/10/05/678…

Mian Conde, Bariatric Dietitian, works long term with patients to help support nutritional and lifestyle changes necessary for successful outcomes in #bariatricsurgery. For those looking to eat healthier this #NationalNutritionMonth, she recommends eating more vegetables.

We just learned about the challenges people face while breastfeeding in one of our NEP courses: Nutrition through the Lifespan! Hearing these women's perspectives made it even more real #ILookLikeASurgeon #breastfeed bfmed.wordpress.com/2017/04/28/sur…

Cannot wait to celebrate all month long!!!

So proud of our HES Ambassador!!!
