The World Health organization (WHO) defines self-care as “the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider”.

A balanced diet supplies the nutrients needed for the body to function properly. A balanced, healthy diet typically includes nutrients from carbohydrates, including starches and fiber, proteins, healthy fats, and grains. This level of balanced eating can be accomplished regardless of the dietary pattern one may choose to follow unless someone is abstaining from eating carbohydrates and/or following a carb-restricted diet.

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.

I have been experiencing more cramping lately. It could be the slightest thing such as reaching to tie my shoes or buckle my seatbelt. Should I eat more bananas?

I have been trying really hard to be more health conscious. I have been following wellness content creators and have found it inspiring. But there is a problem. A kind of big problem at that. I do not like vegetables. I don’t like vegetables
