Reflection Of Diet

In life, many people participate in various daily events and activities that help them enjoy being who they are. People may enjoy getting together with friends, going to the mall, going to an amusement park or simply finding relaxation in nature. However, a big part of everyone’s life is of course eating and many people find pleasure in doing so. Eating is a very enjoyable and delectable must for everyone but should be done so, like everything in life, in a smart and intelligent way. Being smart and perceptive when eating is a large part of nutrition.

The purpose of this assignment is to track and display the food choices we make and the way we eat affects our lifestyle and health. This paper addresses my personal food intake for the past three days. Next I will compare my food choices with my WileyPlus profile and determine whether I am maintaining healthy eating habits. There are foods that a person can eat in order to make sure that the daily required intake is being made. Sometimes it is really hard for a person like me to make sure I eat all the foods that I am supposed to so that I can consume all the nutrients that my body needs in a day. I know I will need to modify my eating

Most of the United States think the Food Pyramid Is confusing for a number of reasons. One reason MyPlate may be an improvement is because we use a plate to eat from at least once a day not a pyramid therefore a plate is an easier way to understand the image of a balanced diet especially if explaining to a child. Another reason is that the breads was at the bottom of the Food Pyramid and after a little research a lot of people thought it meant to eat more breads. Another reason is that MyPlate focuses more on fruits and Vegetables and says nothing about fats and oils.

Learning about our diet is very important, and a diet analysis is a good way to find out how our diet is helping or affecting our organism. For instant, when we analyze our diet we find out if the nutrients in our diet met the target amount our body needs to function adequately.

The 2010 dietary guidelines for Americans focuses on food variety, amount, and nutrition. It also emphasizes less saturated fat, sodium and added sugar. It encourages people to make small changes in their diet and to make healthy food and beverage choices. These are some of the strengths of this dietary approach.

A diet is not just something humans go on to lose weight. A diet is the food a drink that a human or animal usually eats. There are many different types of diets that people use in order to achieve something, such as weight loss or weight gain.

Change is good, this is something that has often been said throughout history, the mind is an open book ready to consume additional information. During the last eight weeks of class there has been many things that Foundation of Nutrition, SPHE 395, has highlighted for the students, in order to assist them in fine tuning their craft in the sports and health industry. There where numerous area that where focused on over the last eight weeks. During part two of this final assignment there we were asked to state five things that we learned during the eight weeks of learning. One of things that I must say is the fact that I know little or nothing about Nutrion before this class, but during the course there were several that would help me during my career. The five area that where important to my learning where the highlighting of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, maternal nutrition for infants, and the benefits of alcohol. After the review of this information there will be detailed concluding thoughts what I think of the class after the concluding week.

In today’s world, one cannot watch a thirty-minute television show without being bombarded with commercials promoting the latest, “Breakthrough Health Kick.” The Paleo Diet, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, along with a vast number of diets on the market has skewed the idea of healthy eating. The textbook, Nutrition from Science to You, states, “Healthy eating means you need to balance, vary, and moderate your nutrient intake.” Sadly, when I took two days to analyze my own diet I found a lack of balance, variety, and the ability to eat in moderation.

With concerns of our day to day living we do not have enough time and budget to be choosy of the type of food or the nutritional value of it, what we think of nowadays is just to have something to satisfy our hunger without considering the nutrients that our body needs each day. When we hear diet nowadays often we see it as losing weight by means of controlling food intake, but the truth is diet could also mean eating nutritious foods to supplement our body’s needs of nutrients and the type of foods that we are going to consume.

The Food Pyramid was introduced to the United States of America as a general dietary guideline but was replaced with a more up to date and simpler logo. Its replacement was issued in 2005 and was called “MyPyramid.” MyPyramid was created to promote the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Many say that the nutritional information given in MyPyramid is complex and hard to understand. In 2011, the USDA introduced MyPlate as simple, familiar, and easy to

The essay “Chicken-Hips” talked about the different cultural standards of beauty. The writer wrote about a very personal experience when she was in Africa and compared it with the city where she lives in. Africans are very happy and proud about being fat, but in Canada people often work hard to be skinny like the models in advertisements. I personally think that no matter what beauty standards the society set for you, you should always do the thing that makes you feel happy, because being happy is healthier than being depressed.

First of all, scientific advancements have made so many positive changes over time like the new food plate. In source 2 it states “ The food pyramid was too confusing so the Obama administration is about to ditch the food pyramid.” In 2001 the food pyramid was ditched and out came the choosemyplate.gov. In paragraph 2 on page 58 it says “ The new food plate is meant to give consumers a fast, easily grasped reminder of the basic of a healthy diet.” As the author said the new food pyramid is a fast easy way for kids and adults to start the day.

The term “diet” has had many different meanings over the years. The more traditional definition, according to Oxford Dictionaries is “the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats” (“Diet.”). This definition denotes that the word “diet” simply means what any person eats on any given day. However, Oxford Dictionaries also gives the term a more colloquial meaning, “a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons” (“Diet.”). This change in definition came with a slew of different diet plans and celebrity endorsements. A day does not go by without a magazine advertising how you can get a body just like Jennifer Lopez’s or a commercial on TV selling the newest diet

Now, the USDA recommends “MyPlate”, which was introduced in 2010, as the new guidelines for proper dietary
