#VolunteersNeeded: We're recruiting healthy men & women ages 18 – 35 for a #ResearchStudy examining how drinking a protein beverage affects the body’s ability to build muscle during calorie deprivation (food intake is reduced). #CheckOut the flyer for more details!

#WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight: Sr. Military Research Psychologist MAJ LaShawnna Ray is always ready to answer the latest questions in a changing battlefield. She is one of the PIs for a study assessing sex differences in lower back strength & physical/psychological performance!

#WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight: Research Dietitian LTC Asma Bukhari has dedicated +27 yrs of service to improving the #nutrition and lifestyle choices of Warfighters & their families. She helps deliver science-based strategies service members can easily use in their daily lives!

Meet these often forgotten members of the -biotics family: synbiotics and postbiotics. Like pre- & probiotics, they also help us maintain a #healthygut. You can find these microbes in foods like kimchi, kefir, tempeh & yogurt with added prebiotic fibers. #NationalNutritionMonth

#WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight: Nutritional Physiologist Holly McClung is leading several research efforts to answer the Army’s questions about the future Force. She's the PI for an expansive #bodycomp study with @USACIMT and the first study to focus on female elite Warfighters!

#WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight: Research Physiologist Dr. Nisha Charkoudian has made significant contributions to Army medicine. Now, she mentors USARIEM researchers as they study how women's bodies adapt to the heat.

#WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight: Army Medical Lab Specialist CPL Serena Rodriguez helps advance #SoldierScience in the lab and the field! She is an essential member of our #PikesPeak research team who will help us understand why some people get altitude illness. @NatickSSC.

Our Soldiers completed #EFMB training at @NatickSSC last Friday! The EFMB is one of the hardest military medical badges to earn, but our Soldiers hope to increase these numbers. #ArmyMedicineStartsHere #traininggoals

March 9 is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day! Thank you to all of USARIEM’s RDs for conducting nutrition research to feed our Warfighters. Your expertise helps the Army develop foods that enhance Warfighter readiness on the battlefield! #NationalNutritionMonth #RDNDay

1️⃣Probiotics = live microorganisms with proven health benefits 2️⃣Prebiotics = Substances that feed microbes living in your gut. Bottom line? Both can improve #guthealth by fighting off harmful microbes, aiding digestion, and boosting your immune system. #NationalNutritionMonth

Struggling to feed your family is a heavy burden—but USARIEM and @NatickSSC Soldiers shouldered the load. This week, our Soldiers marched 4 miles with 825 pounds of canned goods to donate to @aplacetoturn_! army.mil/article/254240

Stressing before a big race or competition? Sticking to familiar foods can help prevent GI distress. #winterworkouts #riemforreadiness

What you eat before, during and after exercise can significantly affect your performance. Follow these nutrition guidelines for your next workout day! #healthylifestyle 💪🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

#DYK your nutrition needs can differ between warmer and colder months? For #winterworkouts, remember to eat more carbs and hydrate!

#DYK There are many ways to altitude train—but some methods may be better than others. Some scientists now say that living high and training low can improve sea-level performance. #peakperformance #riemforreadiness

🎬Filming day with @MilitaryTimes! We took Sarah Sicard behind the scenes to learn how we study the Warfighter. #checkitout

Dr. John Castellani, our cold-weather expert, has a #winterworkout tip: remember to regularly drink water, especially in the cold! Cold weather can trick your body into thinking it’s not thirsty. #riemforreadiness #winterolympics2022

A @USARIEM and @USACIMT study will examine the association between body composition and Soldier physical performance as part of the Army’s efforts to optimize #H2F For more info: usacimt.tradoc.army.mil/abcstudy.html @USArmy @TRADOC @SCoE_CASCOM @ArmyFortLee @16thSMA @johnklinearmy @CSM_CIMT

We need #volunteers (ages 18-35) for a research study examining the effects of a protein drink on the body's ability to build muscle during calorie deprivation (food intake reduced). #Checkitout to see if you're eligible or retweet to friends!

Our scientists need #volunteers for a heat acclimation study examining the role of sex and reproductive hormones on adaptations resulting from heat exposure. #Checkitout to see if you're eligible!
