Dear Lesley: She Isn’t Gaining Weight
I need some advice! How can I get more protein and fat into my daughter’s diet? She doesn’t care for meat except sausages or beans (boo!). I’m looking for lunchbox ideas.

Research has linked the overconsumption of sugar to increased risk of various chronic diseases. In an effort to minimize those risk, monitor the amount of sugar you consume. Although monitoring your sugar intake is only one facet of achieving overall nutritional wellness, it is a very important component. Track your sugar consumption. Take actionable steps to assess and reduce and/or limit the consumption of added sugar.

I am a very busy person, and my work is important and incredibly demanding. I do not have time for cooking. It is easier for me to purchase food from restaurants. It is convenient and I can afford it.

My approach has always been to be mindful, inclusive, and respectful of the impact culture has on what a person chooses to eat and how they choose to prepare it. I try not to assume that there is only one healthy way to prepare foods or that one cuisine is superior to another. I did not need to learn or be advised to be culturally competent. Though this came naturally to me, I am appreciative that more efforts are being made to expand cultural awareness in nutrition. To be honest, my insight into the need for reverence for cultural backgrounds comes from my experience as a Black American and the belittling of the food (soul food) I grew up eating.

My baby has had a running nose and cough for a little over a week. I don’t want to give him too much of anything. I just started giving him the elderberry for babies. I need suggestions for his runny nose and cough.

This week my Nutrition: Food & Culture Series will feature an interview with beautiful women of El Salvadorian heritage.
