Health and nutrition, particularly my own, is something I have taken special interest in lately as I’ve come to realize I’m rapidly approaching the second half of my life and want it to be as good as, or even better than, the first half. If I were to be asked eight weeks ago if I was a healthy person, my answer would be a resounding, “Yes;” my regular physicals and blood work confirming my response. And while I still believe that to be true, what an eye opener the Diet Analysis project was, as far as understanding my actual nutritional intake in comparison to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of nutrients recommended for optimal health and well-being. The following paragraphs not only detail the Diet Analysis PLUS program used for this project,…
For people to make healthier food choices, healthier food options must be made accessible. The minority families of this community who have a lower income have less access to healthier food and beverages as well as less access to outdoor facilities. The people of this community are creatures of habit they will continue to habitually eat poorly and not exercise until there is a concerted effort to break habits and ensure access to affordable options. My goal for improvement is to help create access as well as accessibility for this to happen.…
Computer Diet Analysis #1 During my three-day diet analysis, I consumed approximately 180.19 grams of naturally occurring sugar and 31.77 grams of added sugar. I was shocked to find out that my added sugar intake was so low without much effort. If I could change one thing, it would be my natural sugar intake which is pretty high for a three-day period. Although the sugar from fruits are natural, as a diabetic, I still feel as though too much can cause harm to my body.…
Based on my intake spreadsheet, it seems to show that I consumed 130.65g of sugar in my diet that is naturally occurring. I feel like my added sugar intake seems to be high because I know to myself that I tend to choose sweet things over any food. I tend to choose and eat a lot of sweet things just because I want to even though I know that it’s bad for my health. I think I can reduced this by cutting down on my sweet portion. Also, I need to compare which is less sugar and much healthier.…

How many times do you satisfy your hunger by grabbing a bag of chips rather than a banana or quench your thirst by drinking pop instead of water? Eating healthy and getting enough exercise on a daily basis can be difficult. By keeping a food diary and physical activity diary for five days I am able to see what my trends and bad habits are as well at what I did well nutritionally. Some of these trends and habits can lead to health risks later in my life, so to reduce these risks there are plans and recommendations for eating a balanced meal and staying healthy physically. I consider myself a healthy eater and I like to check the food labels on items for amounts of carbohydrates, fats, protein, sodium, and even the first few ingredients.…
One solution I read about was the process of juicing vegetables and fruits. I have tried V8 and Naked brand smoothies drink and have enjoyed them. This is one way I can help myself to “meet the target’. This activity was very beneficial when looking at my diet. It really opened my eyes to my lack of fruits and vegetables and made me see how many nutrients I was missing out on.…
If you are a person who has been on the hunt for a solid diet plan, you may feel overwhelmed much of the time. In the 21st century it is nearly impossible for a person to turn on a television set or open a newspaper without being bombarded with advertisements for a variety of different diet plans and products. With the tremendous array of diet plans, programs, supplements and aids on the market, it can seem nearly impossible to select a diet plan that can and will best meet your needs now and into the future. More importantly, it can be hard to discern if one or another of these various diet schemes actually is a healthy course to pursue. In many instances, fad diets really are not based on the fundamentals of healthy living.…

From a small age I have known what it's like to work hard, I have had exceptional examples of hard work from my parents.…
I will make this a reality by adding and trying vegetables I am not used to eating, such as zucchini, cauliflower, and eggplant. Also, I will add different types of nuts and cheeses to my diet to change my protein intake and to try new protein products. Lastly, my fifth goal is to continue tracking my diet. I have learned the…
Diet Analysis The purpose of this project is to exam my diet and discuss the diet based on what I have learned in class. Throughout the process, I understood more about healthy eating and how the way we eat affect our body and overall health. Being able to go in depth with my diet has changed the way I think about what I consume daily.…
Clean eating – staying fit and healthy through food No matter how regularly or intensively you work out if you don’t keep a healthy diet throughout your everyday life, you won’t see the benefits. Every calorie that you burn while exercising will come back right away if you eat a hamburger right after you get out of the gym. The point of a diet isn’t to be too strict or to keep you hungry, on the contrary - you should be getting enough nutrition in average portions and meals big enough to feed you until the next meal.…
The Search for a Health Life The first step to obtain a healthy lifestyle should start from inside out, through our desire, and conscience decision to make necessary changes in our life. This process must be based in our own wish to live a longer life, with more energy, healthier and happier.

The natural approach to a healthier life is not hard to obtain but certainly is not easier either, with our surroundings full of easy to obtain temptations every step of the way.…
