This is not good considering my family history of high cholesterol. A mix of high cholesterol and increased cardiovascular disease due to diet is a cocktail for some sort of issue in the future.

I would skip the unhealthy, processed food, eat more of the correct portions according to MyPlate and work out at least nine hours a week. As I have mentioned throughout the entirety of this report, I did not truly realize the importance of nutrition. I learned how important it is to eat a varied diet, and how important it is to pay attention to the food we eat. The fresher the better in my
