Description

This artifact was a video found on YouTube that was aimed to teach school-aged kids about nutrition.

Uses basic vocabulary like nutrients to describe different food groups: fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals, calcium, and fiber

Gives examples of foods from each food group

Ex. lean meats, eggs, and nuts are forms of proteins

Talks about getting a balanced diet and staying away from forms of unhealthy fat, like cake

Target Audience

School-aged kids

Evidence-Based

I believe this information is evidence-based, as the scholarly article I found also discusses avoiding processed sugars and eating a diet that contains several food groups like fatty acids, fluids, protein, minerals, etc (Khodaee et al., 2015).

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This information can be used in public health to teach kids from a young age about healthy foods and creating a balanced, nutrient-dense diet

Starting off by teaching this information at a young age can help prevent future illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes

DEI Relation

While I do think this video offered many different examples of food for different diets and cultures, I do think it could be more inclusive by keeping in mind the expense of all of the foods they are talking about, like fresh fruits and vegetables, and offer other alternatives.

Description

This Pinterest post contains a picture of a label that has arrows to different parts of the nutrition label and has a description of what each part means

For example-underneath sodium, it says that it comes from salt and a lot of processed foods contain this. It tells the viewer that they should try to keep their intake below 1500 mg per day

Target Audience

Older adult female demographic, as this is who mostly uses Pinterest

Evidence-Based

I believe the information is evidence-based due to the information I found in a scholarly article

The article goes over the same food groups mentioned as the nutrition label

Confirms some of the information that the arrows are pointing to like you should consume low amounts of sugar, limit sodium intake, and include fiber in your diet (Locke et al., 2018)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This post definitely promotes public health, as it teaches the viewers how to properly read a nutrition label, and what they should be looking for on the items that they buy

DEI Relations

I think this article was inclusive, as it didn't include a specific food to focus on, so the labeling information could be applied to any item

It could be more inclusive by explaining some of the terms in more simple words, making it easier for everyone to understand.

In this Tiktok, a registered dietitian goes over snacks she eats

Focuses on getting in protein and fiber

Says helps balance blood sugar

Gives examples of snacks

greek yogurt (protein) and berries (fiber), nut, cheese and fruit packs, cottage cheese with fruit, protein bars (want around 200 cals, 15 g of protein, 5 g of fiber), meat sticks, etc.

Target Audience

Teenagers- young adults

Evidence-Based

It was hard to find an article to directly prove this was true information, gathered from evidence-based practice, but I did find an article on lentils that suggested that their high protein and fiber content helped control blood sugar levels (Clarke et al., 2022)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This post can improve public health by making the audience more aware of healthy snacks and the importance of balancing blood sugar levels

DEI Relations

Personally, I don't think the post was very diverse as it didn't offer a wide variety of food for different cultures or incomes

Description

This blog talks about nutrition that will aid in academic performance

Tells audience not to skip breakfast, and consume complex carbs to help with memory and attention

Says to avoid simple carbs found in snacks and sweets, eat balanced meals that contain all the main food groups, eat protein, and fats with omega-3: not saturated and trans fatty acids, hydrate, etc.

Target Audience

college kids and teens

Evidence-Based

Based on the scholarly article I read, I believe the information contained in this blog uses evidence-based practice, as it does as say eating breakfast supports academic performance

The article also notes that eating breakfast means the ingredients should be well-balanced and from many food groups, which the information from the blog I found contains as well (Hasz & Lamport, 2012)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This blog post can improve public health, as it gives advice for school-aged kids to use nutrition to improve their academic performances

DEI Relations

I think this blog is inclusive, as it offers multiple sources of different food groups for different diets, like nuts and soy-based products for protein in a vegetarian diet

Description

In this YouTube video, nutrition scientist Dr. Sarah Berry talks about eating protein, fiber, and fat to help stabilize blood sugar levels

This helps stabilize energy throughout the day

Has yogurt with nuts and berries for breakfast to help with energy levels

Also recommends reducing the amount of refined carbs

Adds plant-based foods like herbs and spices to meals

Target Audience

Those interested in having better energy/blood sugar control through changes in diet

Evidence-Based

Using the same scholarly article I discussed in artifact, four I believe this information is evidence-based

Again, the scholarly article discusses that foods high in protein and fiber help stabilize blood sugar levels (Clarke et al., 2022)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This video can improve public health as it educates viewers to balance their nutrition for steady energy levels by providing examples of snacks

It can also help health providers in clinical decision-making for those with diabetes

DEI Relations

This video in particular didn't give a lot of different examples of foods from the specified food groups, so adding more options, like canned goods, for those who can't afford fresh ingredients can make it more inclusive and diverse.

This Instagram post talks about an “outdated nutrition trend”

Says that we were taught to believe we should eat low-fat items

Claims it is important to eat healthy fats for “nutrition absorption and satiety”

Says fat-free products aren’t necessarily healthy as they may contain filler ingredients and sugars

Tells reader to focus on protein and fiber

Target Audience

Health-conscious social media users

Evidence-Based

I believe the information contained in this post is evidence-based

The scholarly article I found, it does concur that dietary fat, specifically, unsaturated fat, is essential for performing physiological functions

The article I found does suggest that we take note of what fats we are eating and the amounts because the intake of saturated acids can lead to undesired outcomes, like cardiovascular disease (Nettleton et al., 2013)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

This post can improve public health by educating viewers on the importance of eating healthy fats and staying away from forms of unhealthy fats, like saturated fats.

DEI Relations

Healthy fats can be super expensive, for example, I know avocados contain good fat, but they are very pricey, so providing more monetarily friendly examples will help with inclusion and diversity.

Description

This website discusses different plant-based foods to get protein from

Ex. 1 medium avocado has 4.3 grams of protein

Says vegan diets can be very helpful as they offer a lot of essential fats as well

States it is important to get fatty acids as they aid in “heart and brain function, along with normal growth and development”

Says hemp seeds are a great way to add more fatty acids

Target Audience

vegans looking to add more protein to their diet

Evidence-Based

I believe the information found on this website is evidence-based as the scholarly article I found mentions some of the same protein sources, like grains nuts, seeds, and lentils (Rolands et al., 2024)

Overall, this website was just a list of items and doesn't need a lot of research to be proved

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

I think this post could be super important for clinical decision-making, as it is important for providers to make sure their clients are getting in adequate amounts of nutrients, with the foods they have available for their specific diets

DEI Relations

I don't think this post is very diverse as it doesn't offer forms of protein for multiple diets, but it states that it is specifically for vegans.

This Instagram post talks about creating balanced salads

Gives ingredients for 4 different types of salads and includes what food group each ingredient is in

Ex. Berry salad includes, spinach (fiber), mixed berries (carbs and fiber), pistachios (protein and fat), goat cheese (fat)

Target Audience

Target audience: health-conscious social media users

Evidence-Based

I believe the information is evidence-based due to the information I found in a scholarly article

The scholarly article says one's diet should contain “52% to 55% carbohydrates, 16% to 18* proteins, and 30% total fats: rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products

While the post does not include percentages, most of these food groups are mentioned in the ingredients of the salad (Locke et al., 2018)

Public Health / Clinical Decision Making

It can promote public health by encouraging the viewer to use a wide variety of ingredients and food groups, which can help with hypertension, diabetes, CAD, etc. (Locke et al., 2018)

DEI Relations

Personally, I don’t think this post was very diverse

It can be made more diverse and inclusive by recommending different ingredients for people with vegan diets, those allergic to dairy, those with gluten intolerances, etc.
