I am working on doing better with my eating. Since summer is almost over, I wanted to know what fruits I should eat in the fall and winter.

I was at the gym talking about eating healthy with an older man. He told me to eat beets. I told him I add beetroot to my shakes to help with hydration post workout. He said for me to eat the whole beet and not just the powder.

I have been getting criticized because I let my child drink coffee. We both really like to get a Frappuccino when we are out. I don’t understand it though. Is coffee bad for kids or something?

I take care of my mom and I give her Ensure because she doesn’t eat enough. My daughter tasted my mom’s drink one day and she really liked it. I assumed the protein shakes were as healthy as milk.

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 doctors told me to cut back on salt because I need to lower my sodium. The problem I have is that without salt there is no flavor. Can I just use a little salt?
