>> AND GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING HEALTHLINE HERE ON PBS FORT WAYNE.

I'M YOUR HOST MARK EVANS TONIGHT, SOMETHING VERY RELATIVE AND TOPICAL NUTRITION AND THE PANDEMIC.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT WITH THE 2 LADIES ON ONE VIA ZOOM AND HOPEFULLY ONE ON THE AMANDA LANG IS WITH ME ON ZOOM TONIGHT.

ZOOM RATHER, AND SHE IS A CLINICAL DIETICIAN NICE TO SEE.

AMANDA, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING.

I HAPPY TO BE HERE.

>> GREAT.

AND I'M NOT SURE IF ADRIAN CAR FALL IS ON THE LINE.

BUT CAN YOU HEAR ME?

A DREAM.

OKAY.

THEY'RE WORKING ON GETTING YOUR ON THE LINE AND THAT WHEN THEY DO, WE'LL BRING HER ON THE SHOW AS WELL.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT NUTRITION IN THE PANDEMIC.

AND THIS REALLY GOES A LITTLE DEEPER THAN I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK OR HAVE AS IMAGINE BECAUSE ATTRITION IS SO IMPORTANT IN MAKING US TAKE ALONG EVERY SINGLE DAY VERY VARIOUS THINGS CAN ACTUALLY I GUESS MAKE A STUMBLE UPON, YOU KNOW, BEING BECOMING SICK OR GETTING COVID-19.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND THE VERY VARIOUS DEGREES OF NUTRITION AS WELL.

SO AMANDA, LET'S GO AHEAD AND START WITH YOU.

WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU IN A DREAM TO BRING THIS TOPIC TO PBS FORT WAYNE TONIGHT.

>> I THINK COVID IS REALLY THE MAIN POINT THAT'S GOING ON IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE.

IT HAS AFFECTED EVERYBODY IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND NUTRITION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR MAKING SURE THAT YOU STAY HEALTHY.

BUT ALSO IF YOU GET COVID THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO RECOVER AND RETURN TO AS CLOSE TO NORMAL LIFE AS YOU CAN AFTERWARDS.

ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD.

>> AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR PHONE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO CALL AND ASK QUESTIONS.

866-969-2720, OR LOCALLY HAS JUST 9, 6, 9, 2, 7, TO 0.

THE COVID-19 VIRUS IN EVERYTHING THAT SURROUNDS THAT.

WHAT IS IT DOING TO OUR WAISTLINES AND NUTRITIONAL HEALTH OVERALL.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I THINK THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT PEOPLE FALL INTO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ENDED UP GETTING COVID, ESPECIALLY IF THEY GET IT IN A SEVERE CASE.

WE'RE SEEING THOSE WAY FINES REALLY SHRINK AND NOT IN THE WAY THAT MOST OF US WOULD PROBABLY LIKE IT TO HAPPEN.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS PEOPLE ARE ENDING UP RED MUSCLE WASTING FROM PROLONGED PERIODS OF BEING IN BED FROM PROLONGED PERIODS OF INADEQUATE NUTRITION.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MAYBE BEEN STUCK AT HOME HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THEIR USUAL EXERCISE LIKE GOING TO THE GYM OR MAYBE HAVE TO STAY INSIDE BECAUSE THEY HAVE HIGH-RISK FAMILY MEMBERS LIVING WITH THEM.

GOING THE OTHER WAY.

THEY'RE SEEING THEIR WAISTLINE REALLY EXPAND BECAUSE WE FALLING INTO FOUND UNHEALTHY HABITS.

AND SOMETIMES IT'S NOT BY CHOICE SOMETIMES WE JUST CAN'T DO THE THINGS THAT WE'RE USED TO DOING EVERY DAY, OK. WELL, THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A DREAM CROSS ON THE PHONE.

ARE YOU ABLE TO HEAR ME.

ADRIAN.

>> I AM.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YES, I CAN TAKE YOU SO MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENTS.

THERE'S A LITTLE TECHNICAL GLITCH, BUT WE OUR FINE PEOPLE ON OR PUT MORE PRODUCTION CONTROL WERE ABLE TO WRANGLE UN.

SO THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

SO WE WERE TALKING AND TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE PHYSICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF COVID.

DOES NUTRITION AFFECT MENTAL HEALTH.

>> THEY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, REALLY GO HAND IN HAND.

YOU KNOW, HAVING WHAT WE CALL ADEQUATE NUTRITION.

EATING A HEALTHY DIET.

YOU KNOW, IT DOES A LOT WAS JUST THE OVERALL HAUL AND BEING IN GOOD OVERALL HEALTH DEFINITELY IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH.

YOU KNOW, BY MY SIDE.

YOU KNOW, WE YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING NECESSARILY A HEALTHY GUY OR, YOU KNOW, DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

THAT CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT.

AN E E, YOU KNOW, THAT PERIOD OF TIME NOT ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS AND CHRONIC ILLNESS.

THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO KNOW THAT DEFINITELY IMPACT SOMEBODY'S MENTAL HEALTH.

>> ALL RIGHT.

AND AMANDA, WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET OUTSIDE OF YOUR NORMAL ROUTINE.

AS WE WERE, ALL OF US ARE GOING IN SO MANY DIRECTIONS NOW THAT WE'RE A LITTLE FREER THESE DAYS.

>> SURE.

I THINK THE EASIEST WAY IS TO THINK ABOUT YOUR MAIN FOOD KEPT YOUR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

YOU'RE HEALTHY PROTEIN.

YOUR GREEN CRADDOCK SHOULD THINK WHOLE GRAIN PRODUCTS AND THEN YOUR LOW FAT DAIRY PRODUCTS.

IF YOU TRY TO INCORPORATE 2, MAYBE EVEN 3 OF THESE AT EACH MEAL THAT'S REALLY GOING TO SET YOU UP FOR MORE OF A BALANCED DIET OVERALL.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE MORE OF A BALANCED DIET OVERALL, YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO GET ALL THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS THAT YOUR BODY NEEDS.

THEY'RE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO STAY WITHIN AN APPROPRIATE CALORIE RANGE WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK ABOUT CALORIE COUNTING CARDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

ACTUALLY GOING TO FALL INTO A HEALTHY WELL-BALANCED DIET AND HOPEFULLY IT CAN HELP TO MAKE SURE YOUR WEIGHT STAYS WHERE YOU WANT TO SAY THAT WOULD BE IDEAL.

NOW >> ADRIAN, LET'S TALK ABOUT MINDFUL IN TIMES OF INCREASED STRESS.

CHRIS, WE KNOW YOU CAN GAIN WEIGHT BECAUSE OF STRESS AND THERE'S SEVERAL REASONS FOR THAT.

WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THOSE?

>> YEAH.

SO REALLY I GUESS A KIND OF LIKE YOUR QUESTION.

I THINK HE'LL NO ANSWERS.

YOU KNOW, MINDFUL EATING IS REALLY LISTENING TO YOUR BODY.

YOU KNOW, OUR BODIES ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD.

REALLY LISTENING TO THE HUNGER CUES.

YOU KNOW, EATING WHEN WE'RE CHILL, YOU KNOW, STOPPING WAS ALL IN TIMES OF STRESS.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY ALL.

HUNGER HORMONE.

OUR BODY NATURALLY PRODUCES AND IN TIMES OF SHOTS O'CONNELL CALLED CORTISOL CAN GO, YOU KNOW, INCREASE THAT CAN INCREASE OUR HUNGER HORMONES.

AND SO EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED.

THOSE EXTRA CALORIES.

THERE CAN BE ENTERED AGAINST AT THOSE SIGNALS.

SO REALLY A ROUTINE.

IS HOPEFUL AND REALLY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IS HE HERE BY THE TIME I WAS REALLY YOU KNOW, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I EVEN WHAT I HAD TO EAT TODAY OR AM I JUST REALLY JUST RIGHT NOW.

AND I FORWARD YOU KNOW, I THINK BEING ABLE TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND ASKING YOURSELF THAT QUESTION, YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY CAN KIND OF HOPE HE'S SOMEBODY ON CHAP, ESPECIALLY DURING TIMES OF INCREASED JUST ALRIGHT AND AMANDA TODAY I DID SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER DO.

YOU GO GROCERY SHOPPING ON.

>> AN EMPTY STOMACH.

I WAS ACTUALLY HUNGRY DOING THAT.

BUT BECAUSE I'M VERY AWARE AND I'M TRYING TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS MYSELF.

YOU KNOW, TO GET INTO THAT SPEEDO.

THE SUMMER.

BUT I REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A LIST AND I WAS GOING UP AND DOWN EVERY AISLE.

AND I BEHAVE, THOUGH.

I MEAN, I HAD A CERTAIN BUDGET I WAS DEALING WITH AS WELL.

BUT HOW IMPORTANT IS PLANNING AHEAD WITH MEALS AND THE SHOPPING.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS FOR NOT GOING OVERBOARD IN JUST HITTING THE SNACK AISLE.

HARD OH-OH.

>> BEING PREPARED WHEN YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE DOES A COUPLE OF THINGS ONE, IT WOULD ADDING THOSE MAYBE OVERINDULGENCE NEXT TO THE CAR THAT WE MIGHT REGRET EATING LATER.

BUT IT ALSO SETS YOU UP.

TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE MEALS FOR THE WEEK OR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

HOWEVER LONG USUALLY PLAN.

WHEN YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE.

SO THAT YOU HAVE HEALTHY NUTRITIOUS MEALS AT HOME.

THAT LET YOU STAY ON TRACK AND HELP KEEP YOUR WAIST LINE WHERE YOU LIE IT OR MAYBE HELP YOU REACH SOME OF THOSE GOALS.

ONE THING THAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU FIND IN THE GROCERY STORE WITHOUT A LIST OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT HUNGRY.

IT'S STICK TO THE PERIMETER OF THE GROCERY STORE AND ALL OF YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE ON THE OUTRIGHT AISLES YOUR PROTEIN.

THEY'RE TYPICALLY ON THE OUTRIGHT AISLES.

DAIRY PRODUCTS.

TYPICALLY ON THE OUTSIDE AISLES.

YOU MAY WANT TO JUST DO A QUICK WEAVE IN BETWEEN TO GRAB SOME WHOLE WHEAT PASTURE, MAYBE A LOAF OF BREAD.

IN A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER FOR THOSE LATE NIGHT.

AND THAT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP TO CONTROL OVERALL NUTRITION AND OVERALL CALORIE, OK, WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE PERFECTLY STOCKED PANTRY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

THAT WILL BE COMING UP.

BUT ADRIAN, WE HAVE A CALL COMING IN FROM TERRY AND HE'D RATHER BE OFF THE AIR BECAUSE I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND READ THE QUESTION HERE IS PRESENTED TO US, IF YOU CAN ADDRESS IT AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.

>> DOES ELIMINATING CARBS LIKE THE PALEO DIET HELP WITH LOSING WEIGHT AND IS IT SAFE TO CUT THAT MANY CARBS.

>> SOMETHING THAT HAS REMAINED VERY POPULAR OVER THE LAST COUPLE WHETHER THE PALEO OR, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT GUY REALLY OUR BODIES LEAD CARBOHYDRATE BROKEN DOWN AND THEY'RE SIMPLE AS WARM AS GLUCOSE AND THAT IS THE FUEL SOURCE THAT YOU'RE PLAYING, THE IDEA BY HAVING CARD IS PUTTING YOUR BODY INTO.

HE TAKE THE PLEDGE.

HAD BEEN SHOT.

BUT REALLY AS BODIES AND THAT NATO, RYAN OFF OF THAT ENERGY SOURCE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND SO, YES, THERE CAN BE AN INITIAL WEIGHT LOSS.

WHAT WE FIND IS THAT LIFESTYLE IS NOT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WHEN YOU CUT OUT CARBOHYDRATES TO, YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN EXTENT.

NOT ONLY ARE YOU MISSING NOW.

I KNOW THAT BECAUSE THE ENERGY PEACE.

BUT THEY'RE ALSO A LOT OF VITAMINS AND THAT ALL ALONG.

WHAT DOES DO THAT OR WOULD YOU HIRE GREAT.

OK TO LIE ABOUT THAT.

BUT RESEARCHERS ACTUALLY FOUND THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE ABLE TO LOSE WEIGHT FOLLOWING A LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET OVER A PERIOD OF TEND TO BE GAIN, NOT WEIGHT.

PLUS MORE AND SO REALLY FOCUSING IN ON AND IT JUST TOUCHED ON WHOLE GRAINS LIKE WHOLE WHEAT PASTA WHOLLY BAD.

YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION NOT GETTING A LOOK TODAY.

ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, MAKING SURE THAT YOUR BODY, IT REALLY IS GETTING ENERGY SOURCE THAT IT NEEDS.

BUT ALSO THE VITAL VITAMINS AND MINERALS.

>> WELL, ADRIAN, TO, YOU BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S.

I BELIEVE IT YOU HEARD NOTHING IT MORE ABOUT DIETS OTHER THAN THE KEY TO JANET DIETS AND OTHER WORDS THAT WAS A VERY POPULAR FAD AT THAT TIME.

AND THE ONE THAT I WAS IN WAS UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION AND THEY MADE SURE THAT YOU WOULD TEST OR URINE WITH QUITO STRIPS, AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND YOU CAN RUN A LITTLE TOO HOT OR YOU'RE NOT RUNNING HOT ENOUGH.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WEREN'T BURNING ENOUGH AT OR YOU'RE BURNING TOO MUCH AND THEY REALLY WANTED YOU TO TAME THAT DOWN IF YOU ARE RUNNING TOO HOT AND I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE IT CAN REALLY AFFECT YOUR KIDNEYS.

IS THAT CORRECT?

>> AND THAT AND YOU CAN GO INTO SOMETHING.

IT ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, A COMPLICATION OF DIABETES HAS CUT YOU OFF, THOUGH, AS.

IT CAN BE.

LIFE THREATENING.

SO YES, YOU'RE THERE ARE TIMES IN WHICH MEDICALLY I MAY BE APPROPRIATE A MARCH POPULAR MEDICAL USE FOR THE DIET IS THE OF THE LUCKY THERE IS, YOU KNOW, COUNTY SEARCH I NOT AS A TREATMENT METHOD FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EPILEPSY THAT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY MEDICATION.

BUT YES, IT IS IT'S SOMETHING THAT I IT'S ON ITS HEARD.

I'M NOT REALLY USED APPROPRIATELY LIKE, YOU KNOW, I CAN DEFINITELY THANK YOU AGAIN.

A LOT OF TIME TO PEOPLE UP AND EAT A LOT OF PROTEIN.

ANY KIND OF GOES BACK TO THE SCENE.

SHE MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN BE BAD AND THAT CAN DEFINITELY BY THE KIDNEYS AS WELL, OK, THANK YOU.

AND PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THOSE THINGS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO ON THE KEY TO JINEK DIET.

THAT SHOULD BE SUPERVISED.

>> LET'S GO BACK TO AMANDA WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME ACTIVITY.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT STAYING ACTIVE AND YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM.

THIS PROBABLY ISN'T THE MOST OPPORTUNE TIME TO GO TO A GYM.

THE WEATHER IS BREAKING.

SO SOME.

COST EFFICIENT AND TIME EFFICIENT WAYS TO STAY ACTIVE AND PRETTY MUCH TAKE CARE OF THAT ENTITY WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING THE COVID.

>> IT WAS SOME OF THE EASY THINGS YOU CAN DO.

YOU CAN DO RIGHT IN YOUR OWN SOME JUMPING JACKS MAYBE DURING ON YOUR FAVORITE TUNES AND HAVING LITTLE DANCE PARTY IN THE LIVING ROOM TAKING THE STAIRS CAME.

MY FAVORITE THING IS PARKING FURTHER AWAY AT THE GROCERY STORE.

I WORK I DO THINK YOU HAVE TO GO IN ANY RAIN YOU HAD TO DRIVE THERE TO GET THERE.

BUT YOU CAN DEFINITELY THINK THAT PARKING SPOT.

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY.

>> AND TAKE A FEW EXTRA STEPS AS YOU GO IN HERE OR OUT OF THE BUILDING AND YOUR OFFICE.

AND THEN IF YOU HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING ABLE TO WALK AROUND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR GO TO A PARK EVEN IF IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, OR SHORTLY USUALLY WALK THAT ACTIVITY DEFINITELY COUNT.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WORKING UP A SWEATER YOUR HEART RATE NOT REALLY GETTING OUT THERE.

IT IS HEALTHY TO GET OUT THERE.

EVEN IF IT'S JUST A SHORT WALK.

SOMETHING IN THE AFTERNOON REAL QUICK 10 MINUTE COUNTS 5 MINUTES COUNTS.

IT'S GET UP, GET MOVING.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU YOU PAY INCREASE THAT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN REALLY HELP.

IT CAN ALSO HELP TO ENCOURAGE SOME BETTER HABITS IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.

SO I'M SURE.

WELL, LET'S GO BACK TO ADRIAN A WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DISCUSS NUTRITION FROM THE IMMUNE STANDPOINT.

IMMUNOLOGIC STANDPOINT.

I'M NOT A DOCTOR.

I JUST INTERVIEWED THEM ON TV.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT AND HOW IMPORTANT IS NUTRITION WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING THE DISEASE.

>> IT'S REALLY A LOT OF TIME FOR ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEONE GETS SICK, I THERE'S INFLAMMATION THAT NATURALLY HAPPENS IN THE BODY AND COVID-19 AND HAS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE AND THAT INFORMATION CAN TRULY WREAK HAVOC ON EVERY MAJOR BODY SYSTEM.

SO THERE ARE A LOT OF DEC YOUR GASTROINTESTINAL THE SUN.

YOU KNOW, EATING A WELL-BALANCED DIET, HIGH AND WHAT WE CALL A MEGA 3 FATTY A WHOLE.

I DON'T THINK OF, YOU KNOW, WALNUT LET HIM KNOW I AM IN.

AS YOU KNOW, I HATE THE FENCE.

ENJOYING PLAYING AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, YOUR SLEEP MUCH TROUBLE.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD ENCOURAGED TO EAT THAT WHOLE ERA OF THE EACH DIFFERENTLY IN THERE ARE AN ACCIDENT WITHIN THOSE GROUPS THAT HOPE FIGHT THAT INFORMATION AND THE BODY AND OVERALL ALL YOU HAVE TO THINK THE HOPE THE COMMUNITY.

>> ARE THERE ITEMS IN THE SPICE CABINET, MICAH HERBS AND SPICES.

ANY PARTICULAR ONES THAT WOULD REALLY HELP IN THIS PARTICULAR EFFORT.

>> VERY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF RESEARCH.

YOU KNOW, THE SOUL OF POPULAR LYING ON THE LACK BUT AGAIN.

>> WE CATCH THAT IS HAPPENING ALL YOU KNOW, GOING ON.

SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WATCH HIM CLOSELY.

INTO DISHES ARE LIKE IS ANOTHER WINE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN.

AND DOES THAT MEAN THAT THAT IN ITSELF WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

NOT NECESSARILY.

BUT THOSE ARE 2 THAT YOU COULD INCORPORATE.

ALL RIGHT.

>> LET'S GO TO AMANDA ON ZOOM RIGHT WE HAVE A CALLER ON THE LINE IS INJURIES ON HIM WHEN HE'S QUITE THE FAN OF HEALTHLINE AND ALWAYS HAS SOME VERY INTERESTING QUESTIONS.

SO GO AHEAD.

>> WELL, I'VE HEARD OR ENERGY DRINKS ARE BAD FOR YOU.

AND IF THEY ARE A LOT TO MOW IT WALKED AWAY.

>> I THINK THAT MEANS PART OF AN ENERGY DRINK THAT IS GOING TO BE POTENTIALLY DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH.

THE EXCESS CALORIES AND SUGAR THAT COME WITH IT.

EVERYBODY'S ABLE TO TOLERATE CAFFEINE WHAT THEY CALL NIACIN, WHICH IS A B VITAMIN.

THEY PUT INTO ENERGY DRINKS TO GIVE YOU THAT BOOST TO MAKE YOU FEEL MORE WEIGHT IN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS SO SOMEBODY YOU DRINK MAYBE 2 CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY MIGHT BE ABLE TO TOLERATE AN ENERGY DRINK BETTER THAN SOMEBODY WHO NEVER DRINK COFFEE.

IT IS GOING TO BE.

IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER HOW OFTEN YOU'RE DRINKING AN ENERGY DRINK AND HOW MANY EXCESS CALORIES YOU'RE GETTING FROM THAT.

WE'LL CONSIDER.

ARE YOU FILLING UP ON AN ENERGY DRINK INSTEAD OF HAVING A NICE BALANCE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING.

>> THANK YOU.

ROSE ON.

BY THE WAY, WE ARE TAKING YOUR CALLS AT 866-969-2720.

WE STILL HAVE A FEW MINUTES LEFT IN THE PROGRAM.

LET'S GO TO ADRIAN AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

IN FACT, WHEN YOU SOME QUESTIONS AND TOPICS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT MYTHS WITH NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTATION.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT.

>> AND BY TV THAT ONE WIFI.

THE SOME OF THE MYTHS NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTATION FOR COVID-19.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW.

>> COVID-19 REALLY STARTED YOU KNOW, MORE PROBABLY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THAT IS NOT ONLY HERE IN INDIANA BUT A NATIONWIDE YOU KNOW, WE'RE HEARING A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW, CERTAIN VITAMINS SUCH AS VITAMIN C. YOU KNOW, WHICH CAN THE COMMUNITY TAKING LARGE DOSES OF.

YOU KNOW THAT ANOTHER ONE IS BIDEN III.

AND WHILE THE BITING OR, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT SUPPLEMENTS OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW, HAVE HOME THAT A HOME A CURE.

I YOU KNOW, HOW HE WILL OPPOSE LONG.

YOU KNOW, THE PACE OF INFECTION.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE.

AGAIN, BE BIDEN'S OF REALLY IMPORTANT.

JUST THE OVERALL.

HEALTH OF THE BODY.

BUT I KNOW HOW HE KNOWS VITAMIN C. POP CULTURE ID.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING HOME.

YOU KNOW, CURE COVID-19 IF YOU HAVE THE INFECTION AND OR COMPLETELY I JUST THINK IT'S REALLY INDIVIDUALS WHETHER THEY DO GET SICK OR THEY'RE JUST AGAIN CHANGING MAINTAIN OVERALL LOW COULD HOLD AND PREVENTION.

THE SIDING.

THE VIRUS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING.

REPUTABLE SITES IS THAT THE CDC?

IN THE DEPARTMENT OF HOPE.

THE NATIONALLY, THE HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING EYE OR WOULD GET IN IT.

SO IT IS FOR THIS INFORMATION.

THERE'S A LOT OF NUTRITION INFORMATION OUT BLOGS AND HUNTRESS AND UNFORTUNATELY.

A LOT OF IT IS NOT FOUND IN THE SEARCH ON.

JUST, YOU KNOW, REALLY SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT.

AND, YOU KNOW, BE MINDFUL OF.

>> ALL I WANT TO GO OVER TO AMANDA AND TALK ABOUT THE LITTLE LABEL.

IN FACT, I SAW A LOT OF THOSE TO TODAY AT THE GROCERY STORES.

I'M FOCUSING ON THOSE.

THE NUTRITION FACTS LABEL.

HOW CAN WE USE THAT TO OUR ADVANTAGE.

>> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT GUIDE RATHER THAN LOOKING AT SOME OF THE CLAIMS THAT ARE ON THE FRONT OF THE PACKAGING.

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT BORING WHITE LABEL ON THIS SIDE OF THE BOX OR ON THE SIDE OF THE CONTAINER.

WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER OF SERVINGS THAT ARE IN THAT CONTAINER.

SO IF YOU PICK UP A BAG OF CHIPS BRINGS IN IT SAID A 190 CALORIES.

9 GRAMS OF THAT 290 MILLIGRAMS OF SODIUM.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ONLY FOR ONE FOR BEING IN THAT BAG AND THERE'S USUALLY 9 TO 12 SERVING IN A BAG DEPENDING ON THE SITE THAT YOU GET.

I LIKE TO USE WHAT I CALL THE RULE OF THREES WHEN I'M LOOKING AT A NUTRITION LABEL.

ROUGHLY 300 CALORIES PER SERVING.

IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

THANKS SNACK OR A MEAL.

LET'S THINK 3 GRAMS OF SATURATED FAT.

AND LESS THAN 300 MILLIGRAMS OF SODIUM.

THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A GOOD STARTING POINT TO DECIDE IF MAYBE THERE'S A BETTER OPTION OR IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO FIT INTO YOUR MEAL PLAN.

ADRIAN.

LET'S TALK ABOUT.

>> PROCESSED FOODS.

WHAT IS WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOOD IN WHY ARE THEY SO BAD OR ALL OF THEM BAD.

>> SO WHAT PROCESS YOU KNOW THAT COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING.

YOU KNOW, WE I THINK I DEALING WITH HAVE A WAY TO TRY AND HE HAS MOVED ALL IT IS POSSIBLE TO FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

I'M HOPING THINGS BOTH ON THE HIGHER A LOT OF REFINING AND THE PROCESS OF MAKING THEM.

AS YOU KNOW, DIETITIANS ONLY LIVE FOR MORE TO PROCESS IS WHOLLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THAT UNLIKE ENTIRE WALLS THAT ARE THEY PACKAGED IN THE FROZEN SECTION BY MEALS AT HOME ON THE PART IN A BOX.

I HAVE A LOT OF YOU DIFFERENT PLACE.

ALL IN ALL, I THINK ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, HE PAID HER A LOT OF THE OLD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH A LOT OF OUT OF BED TO HELP KEEP SHELL ABLE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

YOU KNOW, WE FIND IT'S A HUGE HOME TO BE A LOT HIGHER IN FAT AND SATURATED FAT.

IT HAS TO BE A LOT HIGHER AND SODIUM.

AND YOU KNOW, THOSE NICHE.

AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING COLD.

YOU'VE GOT.

BUT ALSO THERE'S A LOT OF PUT THAT TO BED.

>> ARE ALL.

SO GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY.

>> YES, IT YOU KNOW, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO IN TAKE MORE OF THAT HOLE IS SO JUST REALLY ENCOURAGING EVERYBODY TO TRY AND EAT THE WHOLE SEASON.

YOU CAN.

AND IF YOU DO DECIDE THAT YOU NEED A PROCESSOR THAT YOU WOULD LIKE MORE OF A PROCESS ITEM.

I ENCOURAGE YOU KNOW, I PATIENTS JUST FOCUS ON INGREDIENT LISTS WITH THE PLACE YOU'RE AMOUNT OF INGREDIENTS.

THE BETTER.

>> OKAY.

AND WE HAVE ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES LEFT.

I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PERFECTLY STOCKED PANTRY IN YOUR OWN HOME.

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU PURCHASE AND STOCK IN YOUR PANTRY OR OR YOUR CABINETS IN YOUR KITCHEN.

>> GREAT QUESTION.

HAVING A WELL-STOCKED PANTRY IS GOING TO SAVE YOU RESTLESS NIGHTS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER.

WELL, STOCKED PANTRY SHOULD HAVE SOME OF EACH FOOD GROUP.

SAME ONE INCLUDE SOME WHOLE GRAINS BROWN RICE OR WHOLE WHEAT PAST THEM.

A PROTEIN THAT YOU CAN EASILY ADD TO A SALAD OR A CASSEROLE LIKE CANTON.

OUR CANNED SALMON.

LOW SODIUM OR NO SODIUM ADDED VEGETABLES.

SO TOMATOES ON YOUR BEANS ARE VERY GREAT ACTION TO GET YOU SOME INEXPENSIVE PROTEIN AS WELL AS SOME FIBER.

>> AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO THROW SOME DRAG HER INTO THAT PANTRY.

>> YOU GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF SWEETNESS MAY BE VERY QUICK SNACK IN THE EVENING OR SOMETHING ON THE GO IN THE MORNING.

AND MY FAVORITE THING TO KEEP IN THE PANTRY.

UNTIL TONIGHT'S IN A FEW CHOCOLATE CHIPS JUST TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING.

IT'S A GREAT SNACK OR A GREAT WAY TO KIND OF IF YOU'RE GOING, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FEW MINUTES TO GRAB SOMETHING QUICK.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME HELP.

THE FACT AND SOME HEALTHY FIBER SO THAT SO SOME GOOD SNACKS FOR ON THE GO WOULD BE WHAT.

>> I WOULD SAY GRAB A HANDFUL OF NET, MAYBE A SMALL HANDFUL OF DRIED FRUIT OR IF YOU EVEN THANK YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL THAT ISN'T COVERED IN SUGAR.

SO THINK.

YOU KNOW, WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, 3 GRAMS OR 5 OR THROW THAT INTO A QUICK TEMPER, A CONTAINER OR IS THAT BLACK BAG.

YOU CAN TAKE IT ON THE GO IN THE CAR.

IT'S GETTING GETTING SOME CARBOHYDRATES TO GIVE YOU SOME ENERGY.

BUT IT'S ALSO GOING TO HAVE SOME FIBER IN THERE PROLONG THE ENERGY FOR AN HOUR TO VERY GOOD.

>> WELL, WE THANK YOU, AMANDA, FOR BEING WITH US TONIGHT ON LET'S SAY YOU WERE VIA ZOOM AND ALSO ADRIAN CARS ALL.

VIA TELEPHONE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING TOGETHER AND DISCUSSING THESE ITEMS AND THESE THINGS WITH US TONIGHT.

THEY'RE BOTH CLINICAL DIETITIANS AND WE HAD A GREAT SHOW TONIGHT.

WISH WE HAD MORE TIME AND WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT COLD OR R * * * * * BLEEDING.

AND JENNIFER BLOMQUIST WILL BE YOUR HOST 7.30 TUESDAY NIGHT HERE ON PBS FORT WAYNE.

UNTIL THEN, THANKS FOR WATCHING.

GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD HEALTH.
