I'm excited to tell her about it! Thank you!<br /><br />Thank you for this incredibly important post about health care professionals... I am still shocked every single day about how many of my fellow nurses smoke and live very unhealthy lifestyles, all the while telling their patients to quit smoking... SIGH... Hopefully more and more people will be inspired by your powerful, insightful words - thank you for being such a great agent of positive change!Astra Librishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875529379234934319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-76401566701594210792009-12-17T08:38:37.560-05:002009-12-17T08:38:37.560-05:00I think that although the number of health profess...I think that although the number of health professionals have increased, the number of carcinogen and other environmental factors and the quality of our food has decreased. In addition, the number of health professionals is not necessarily a gauge of the health of our nation because a lot of these workers have jobs dedicated to downstream care, that is, treating the effects of diseases versus prevention. Also, you can have as much nutritional information as you want, but that doesn't mean people will follow it or pay attention to it. And, as you've mentioned, a lot of it is really confusing and even conflicting.<br /><br />Great post, Gina!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758932883732204080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-38513532995045282222009-12-16T22:34:00.494-05:002009-12-16T22:34:00.494-05:00Hey Gina!

That set me thinking-and the very next week I enrolled in a gym and started working out regularly. It wasn't like I was overweight or had any health problems(neither did the said patient)! <br />I have a major sweet tooth-and it's a battle keeping them at bay!Moderation and exercise have always worked for me :)Sweta (My Indian Dietitian)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07317493638998906683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-69065615716103153402009-12-16T15:52:31.438-05:002009-12-16T15:52:31.438-05:00Good tips!

And it was a great quesion. Its something i have been wondering alot myself. I think alot of people know its unhealthy but dont want to do anythig about it. Like smoking, its a hands down fact its absolutely horrible for you. Nothing good about it, but yet millions still smoke alot!<br />Steel cut oats are so tasty! I love anything with oats! I really liked how you made a big batch and cut it up into servings sizes. Great idea so thanks for sharing!<br />I hope you have fun finishing up your shopping! You are so on top of things!

That's the link that is tough, and the money of course. <br />mmm . . steel cut oats are great, have you tried TJ's quick cook steel cut?

I've been feeling very much the same. Especially about 'health' professionals who are so narrow-minded in their own profession that they don't assess the patient as a whole, and are so intent on treating the symptoms that they forget about the cause. Grrr! I wish some health professionals were generally more passionate about what they do.Nataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022287670759525767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-59087665524277797942009-12-15T22:38:32.552-05:002009-12-15T22:38:32.552-05:00Gina, I am officially in love with your blog.

I would also add that there are some ineffective doctors and RDs out there simply because they don't have the people skills to properly "counsel" their clients/patients. It isn't wnough to tell someone what to eat. There is a counseling piece to it for most people and I don't think most doctors and RDs have enough of a background in psychology to know how to understand their clients' are reacting emotionally with food. It is my counseling background that made me want to pursue an RD so that I can specialize in a particular kind of counseling and education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-83181308667369790972009-12-15T19:48:55.274-05:002009-12-15T19:48:55.274-05:00Thtat was a fabulous question.
