INTERNATIONAL NO DIET DAY

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗡𝗢 𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗬

𝟽𝚃𝙷 𝙼𝙰𝚈

Unrealistic and unachievable body standards have caused concerns with people's mental and physical health all around the world. Many people turn to drastic weight loss techniques as a result of the pressure to meet society's ideals of beauty and obtain a specific body type. This pressure has led to eating disorders, bullying, unhealthily restricted diets, and low self-esteem for a large number of people. However, these diets and weight-loss procedures can be detrimental to physical and emotional health.

To encourage a healthy lifestyle, people need to develop healthier relationships between food and their bodies. They need to be made aware of the life-threatening potential of eating disorders and weight-loss surgery. The goal is to show that there is no typical body type or shape and support people in tackling challenging issues related to diet and body awareness. The emphasis is on promoting healthy eating, celebrating the diversity of body types, and helping individuals understand that their bodies are attractive in their unique ways.

It is far preferable to focus on leading a healthy lifestyle rather than on attempts to lose weight to look a certain way. Worry more about getting out and being active and maintaining your body's health than about meeting unattainable body standards. You deserve to enjoy life to the fullest without being restricted by diet culture. Take care of your body and yourself.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
