I chose the NutriGrain commercial. In this advertisement, a business woman is presented two options to eat. She can either choose a NutriGrain bar, or a doughnut. The screen then splits vertically in two to compare how her day progressed based on what she decided to eat at the beginning at the commercial. On the left side of the screen, the woman chooses to eat the doughnut. On the right, she eats the NutriGrain bar. As the woman’s day progresses, the split screen serves to show the woman who ate the NutriGrain bar makes healthier choices than the version of her who ate the doughnut. As the commercial continues, a woman is voicing over the commercial, saying “one good decision, can lead to another”. At the end of the commercial, the viewer is reminded of the ingredients in the bar that make it healthy and that eating a NutriGrain bar can “make you feel better all day”.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze my personal dietary intake as a way of better understanding the ways in which the foods I consumer are helping or hurting my overall nutrition and health. This project is about understanding how consuming too much or too little of particular nutrients can be unhealthy and do harm to one 's body over time. Even more, this project is about dispelling some of the myths that are present about nutrient consumption in order to have a more scientific understanding of what is considered healthy in food and nutrient consumption.

During this week, I Edgar Burgos had to conduct a food intake for 3 consecutive days. This paper will describe my nutritional endeavor for the past three days. I will provide different aspects of my nutritional needs and an in depth analysis on how proteins fats carbohydrates and fiber take part in my everyday diet and what are these functions. This is intended to broaden my views of a healthy lifestyle, and how to achieve it through a variety of food groups.

This paper is intended to explain my nutritional endeavor for the past three days.

This is intended to broaden my views of a healthy lifestyle, and how to achieve it through a variety of food groups. In this essay the resources utilized where provided by the educational institute with the purpose of facilitating my research objectives.

In 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a health claim which states that consuming foods containing plant sterol and stanol esters along with other low cholesterol and saturated fat foods can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (Jones, Vanstone, Raeini-Sarjaz, & St-Onge, 2003). Today, many functional foods in the form of margarines, spread, yogurt, and others, have been enriched with phytosterols and advocated as being able to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Phytosterols have been known for its cholesterol-lowering effect by blocking absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. However, there are controversies surrounding the efficacy of phytosetrol that are enriched in foods in reducing cholesterol levels. Many studies have also demonstrated the efficacy of phytosterol-enriched foods. Vásquez-Trespalacios and Romero-Palacio (2014) and Amundsen, Ose, Nenseter, and Ntanios (2002) have demonstrated the efficacy of phytosterol-enriched foods in reducing total and LDL-cholesterol levels. However, there are also many studies that show otherwise. For example, Jones et al. (2003) and Weingärtner et al. (2016) have shown that phytosterol-supplemented foods did not have any effect on total and LDL-cholesterol levels. The debate regarding the efficacy of phytosterol in functional foods is crucial as phytosterol-enriched foods can potentially be a solution to a continuous increase in population suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

The participants are selected randomly; they are healthy overweight women form age 25 to 50 years old. The women are divided into two groups. One group is provided with traditional food, which means that the participants select their own food using the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. The other group is putting on meal replacement, which means that these participants have to replace two or three of their meals per day with study meal replacement drinks or bars. Moreover, all participants of the study are excepted to follow an energy restricted diet of 5400KJ per day. Although participants in both groups don’t have much weight loss difference, the group eating fortified meal replacements present more essential nutrient intake compare to the other group. This study main goal is to encourage health care providers to help patients to increase weight losses and incorporating fortified foods in their

“I think processed food deserves the criticism, but probably not because we haven’t evolved; more likely because we eat too much of it and most of it is nutritionally void.” This combination of plant foods and protein can help control blood sugar, regulate blood pressure, contribute to weight loss and prevent type two diabetes. Incorporating all these foods can have a substantial improvement on one’s

With nutrition as a key component in lifestyle interventions, specific nutrients are being studied for their efficacy in reducing

The food that we consume is well assimilated in our body and is used for the growth and maintenance of body tissues.
