There are a lot of ways that I can use this information. One way is by using this information when I am going to the store and looking to buy me some foods. With the information I have I can now pick healthier foods and most of all grabbing lots of fruits and vegetables. Another way is by recognizing the payoff if changing what you eat. When I am eating out or looking at that delicious candy I can always look back and see myself as a healthy young men if I eat the right foods than to eat the wrong food and seeing myself always tire, sleepy, and having extra weight. A third way is to keep practicing and getting more information about the topic and to always be on top of things. By always knowing the best and healthiest food, fruits and vegetable I can always for sure know what to choose from.

According to a new analysis of government data, over the past 50 years, Americans have cut fat intake by 25% and increased carbohydrates by more than 30%. However, recent studies have shown that a high-carb diet rich in sugar and refined grains increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, which is much more than what a diet high in fat and cholesterol can cause. This proves experts are giving out confusing and contradictory dietary advice.…

    Everyone has heard about one fad diet or another. The Paleo Diet, you only eat what cavemen ate, the Atkins Diet, you eat only meat and avoid those sinful carbs, and the Juice Diet, you guessed it you only drink juice, to name just a few. The one thing that these diets have in common as that they have a goal which is to lose weight. On the other hand the Vegan Diet is not only a way of eating but a way of life, which is what makes it so damaging and isolates those from their omnivore peers. Living the Vegan lifestyle means that you completely forgo any meat, or food produced by animals which include milk, cheese, and eggs.…

    Colin Campbell had an experimental research program on the effects of nutrition on cancer and other diseases, he assumed it was healthy to eat plenty of meat, milk and eggs, but came to find prevalence rates of heart disease and certain cancers strongly associate with animal-protein-based diets. He goes on to say, “Higher-protein diets achieved by consuming animal-based foods increase the risks of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and many similar ailments, caused by excess protein and other unbalanced nutrients as well.” A health benefit that comes with going vegan would be pain relief, he shares. Some of the most interesting evidence of the effects of meat and dairy foods rises when we stop eating them. Increasing numbers of people resolve their pain (arthritic, migraine, cardiac) when they avoid dairy food.…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned many new things about diet, health, and proper nutrition for a long life. Without learning these very important things, I may have just continued on my old diet, which was not healthy in the least. 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.…
