| Retired dietitian says ‘it’s all about lifestyle’
In theater, everyone thinks they're a critic. In nutrition, everyone thinks they're an expert, says Jackie Bartz, who recently retired after 34 years as a registered dietitian."Because everyone eats, everyone is a nutrition expert, and I've seen that over the years," Bartz said. "Just because you read something on the Internet or your beautician or neighbor told you something, that doesn't make you an expert."
A registered dietitian is an expert, she said.Bartz, who was a dietitian the past 11 years at Franciscan Skemp Healthcare, has a list of her favorite nutrition tips and pet peeves collected over the years.Good nutrition is often common sense, "but common sense is a misnomer because sense is not all that common," she said.Another pet peeve: people look at her and her healthy weight, and think she can eat anything."No, I am aware of what I eat all the time, and that's the magic tip," Bartz said.She said another pet peeve is dieting with starving and then bingeing."It's all about lifestyle balancing food and activity for your lifetime," Bartz said.

Sayyeda Zeinab came to Egypt in the year 61 after Hijra (AH, equivalent to the year 680 on the Julian calendar) after her brother, Sayyedna Al-Hussein, was murdered in the battle of Karbalaa by the legions of the new Umayyad Caliph Al-Yazid I. She died and was buried in Cairo, where an entire district was named in her honor. To this day, the Mosque of Sayyeda Zeinab is a popular destination for Egyptians, poor and rich, in need of succor. Sayyeda Zeinab's journey to Egypt showed the Prophet's other grandchildren and relatives that Egypt would be a safe haven for them in times of need. She had brought her nephews and nieces with her, the sons and daughters of her deceased brothers Al-Hussein and Al-Hassan, and their descendants are those who live among us today as Al-Ashraaf. At turns feared and persecuted by those in power because of the boundless love and respect the family attracts from the masses, there are now some 70,000 officially recognized families in Egypt who can trace their lineage back to the Prophet and his descendants.
