Psy 230 Week 1 Research Paper

Many of you requested more daily eats posts so today I'm coming to you with a new what I ate Wednesday. Remember to always listen to your body and honour your own hunger and satisfaction cues.

During the reading for part 2, I found the “duh” portion interesting and useful when used carefully. Arguing that the information is not new could help discredit your opposition, however, this tactic is useless when that is your only disagreement. Expressing that the information has been discovered before, when you agree with everything else the speaker says, seems like an unnecessary comment. Does the information being discovered before influence the authors information? The “twist it” section was incredibly helpful. By taking a piece of evidence that was used in your opponent’s argument and using it to support your argument helps validate your stance. It’s like using their weight against them.

you’ve taken a month to strengthen your new eating habits and to learn more about

The minute that I find out about my assignment I was thinking really long and hard of something that I really wanted to know more about. This was a bit challenging for me. For the fact being that eating healthy is bit of a challenge for me, but thought if I were to find worthy information about it I probably could change some of my eating habits. Due to the fact that I want to get back in track with exercising, and being fit. In addition to knowing that I work in a Dialysis center and eating healthy there is a must. I thought finding about this won’t hurt me. In dialysis eating healthy is a life style. The patients in that facility are joyful for the reason being that there protein was good that month, or just because the dietitian compliments

Over the period of three day I kept a food record to analyze my nutrient intake. Keeping this food log allowed me to see what and how much nutrients I was getting from the foods I was consuming. I quickly realized that I had been missing out on some key nutrients, vitamins, and minerals needed for a healthy life style. Without analyzing your intake, it is hard to see what nutrients you are getting and if you are getting enough of them. This food record allowed me to see how I can better improve my diet and achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Writing down what I ate for ten days was a task given to me. It helped me understand myself better. I know now that I have deeper unsurfaced feelings about beef, that I do not make breakfast and that I like lists. In the following paragraphs these ideas are opened up more and are taken more in depth.

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy from food that we use in the body. It should roughly make up around 55% of the overall food we consume on a daily basis. There are 3 different types of carbohydrates; monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. The monosaccharides which are made up from one sugar molecule and disaccharides which are two monosaccharides with a hydrogen molecule removed. These two types of food are classed as simple carbohydrates because they are very easily broken down. They make up foods that are bad for your health as they provide very little nutrients and can also lead to health problems later on in life if too much is consumed, for example; cake, chocolate and fizzy drinks (Linda J Vorvick 2014), whereas the polysaccharides, the foods that are made up of many monosaccharides are known as complex carbohydrates or starches as it is more difficult for the body to break them down so it takes a lot longer. In turn, this means the energy is lasting and spaced out over a

There are two types of carbohydrates which simply put are bad and good ones. Now obviously the bad

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon with the general formula (CH2O)n (Solomon 2004). They are classed as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides an aldehyde or ketone with many hydroxyl groups added examples include uronic acids and fructose. Disaccharides are formed from monosaccharides through the elimination of water examples include sucrose and lactose. Polysaccharides consist of thousands of different

Carbohydrates consist of “instant energy,” which means they contains available energy in the several covalent bonds their subunits, therefore, is made up one carbon to two hydrogen to one oxygen atoms (p.56).

Carbohydrates come in two forms, simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates come from grains such as wheat, corn, rice, oats, soy and millet. They break down into starches and sugar when properly cooked. Complex carbohydrates come in the form of various fibers such as brans, hulls and peanut shells from the outside of plants. A small amount is needed for proper digestion and stool formation. Nutrients are obtained from both sources, but most come from simple carbohydrates.

The body uses carbohydrates directly from the monosaccharide glucose. Glucose is in the blood and extracellular fluids (lymph) and can be made from glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles and in smaller amounts in the other organs and tissues of the body. Energy is derived from glucose by the splitting of the glucose molecules into smaller compounds and oxidizing these to form water, which frees quite a large amount of

Carbohydrates are large organic molecules that occur in foods and are used by living things as their main source of energy or structural material (Source A). There are three types of Carbohydrates monosaccharide, disaccharide and polysaccharide . Glucose is a monosaccharide and as said it is a source of energy for your metabolic activities. In other words it is your metabolism and there are two major parts that play along called catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism being the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones releasing energy while anabolism is the building up of molecules by using energy. Also when consuming food another thing to be mind full is how much protein you are eating. Protein is important because it makes up the cell membranes, muscle, hair, hormones and these are just a couple things. Amino acids are the building up of protein. Lipids are nonpolar ( don’t dissolve in water) organic molecules. (source A) Steroids is a group in lipids and is made from

Carbohydrates serve as a vital source of chemical energy to the human body. Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller units of glucose, amongst other sugars, providing energy to various muscles and organs, including the brain. On average, for every 10.0 g of carbohydrates consumed, the body will store 170 kJ of energy. Convert this energy value to kilocalories

Carbohydrates are a source of fuel as they provide energy needed for physical activity and the function of the organs and the brain. Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars that can be used for respiration.
