The decision of whether to take dietary supplements varies for numerous reasons. Some individuals decide to take supplements in order to provide additional nutrients aside from what they are getting in their daily meals to meet nutritional recommendations or to remedy nutrient depletions or deficiencies.
Featuring another of my beloved elders this week. She is the big sister I never knew I wanted. I interviewed a beautiful, educated world traveler for this week’s A Talk with the Elders.
I need guidance on how to get my daughter to eat more. My daughter can be very picky. She struggles with eating at lunch away from the house. It is easy for me to add in things she likes or will eat when she eats at home. I want her to drive this bus if possible so she can start being in charge of her own health.
My daughter is a picky eater, so it is hard to get her to eat her fruits and vegetables. She does like taking her gummy vitamins though. I was relieved when I found a way to get her more nutrients. She likes them so much that she really throws a tantrum when she can’t have them.
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.
