    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,…

    I realized before that I need to eat healthier. At this period of time, I’m learning more than I expected in this class. Learning about the type of fat in foods, benefits of dietary fibers, and the affect of having a deficiency or excess of vitamins and minerals in the body are all very useful. Whenever I eat something, I now more conscious about how each food impacts my body and contributes to the recommended dietary intakes.

    How Does Nutrition Affected My Life

    Throughout the years nutrition has become more than a simple definition of nourishment to me. It has affected my life in ways that I could never imagine, so making the decision to become a Registered Dietitian was elementary. My parents migrated to the United States in the early 1990’s from the Dominican Republic without money and two children ages, four and two. They left everything they knew behind in search for a better life for themselves and their children. Instead, they found themselves living in the projects of South Yonkers with nothing but drugs, violence, and convenient stores surrounding them.…

    The GMO Debate

    Learning about this topic is important because it can change someone’s current perspective on food, or at least give them new ideas to think about. It also provides necessary knowledge to someone who doesn’t know about the topic in any way shape or form. For example, I found myself second guessing the what I consume, and how much I consume. I already knew about the nutrition aspect of the food unit, but I had no other major preconceptions about the topic. For example, I already previously knew that what you eat impact the way your body functions, and eating better nutritious food is better for your body.…

    Reflection Paper On Nutrition

    Over the course of this class, I have learned many new things about diet, health, and proper nutrition for a long life.

I have now seen a real proper diet, complete with all different food groups and everything in between. I am grateful for this class, because otherwise, I would probably still have that unhealthy diet. Nutrition taught me a lot, and I am ready now to follow all that it taught me, and I think I have the knowledge now to teach the people around me about it too.…
