II. MY NUTRTION PROFILE A. Deficient Nutrients
Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Main Function: Promotes brain function as well as growth and development and reduces inflammation.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression,
and poor circulation.
Three Food Choices: Walnuts, flaxseeds, and fish.
Vitamin D
Main Function: Maintaining calcium and phosphate levels in the blood, promotes Calcium absorption in the
gut, promotes bone growth, and reduces inflammation.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Rickets, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in older
adults, severe asthma in children, and cancer.
Three Food Choices: Dairy products (cheese, butter, cream, fortified milk, etc), fatty fish, and oysters.
Vitamin A
Main Function: Prevents eye problems, promotes a healthy immune system, essential for the growth of new
cells, and keeps skin healthy.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Blindness, dry skin, dry hair, broken fingernails, and decreased resistance to
infections.
Three Food Choices: Carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.
Vitamin E
Main Function: An antioxidant, helps protect cells from damage, and is important for the health of red blood
cells.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Anemia, muscle weakness, loss of muscle mass, loss of muscle tone, problems
transmitting nerve impulses, issues with stability and balance, degeneration of the retina, problems seeing,
and difficulty controlling eye movement.
Three Food Choices: Vegetable oils, avocados, and wheat germ.
Calcium
Main Function: Essential role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and tooth formation.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Over the long term, intakes of calcium below recommended levels can cause
low bone mass (osteopenia) and increasing the risks of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Symptoms of serious
calcium deficiency include numbness and tingling in the fingers, convulsions, and abnormal heart rhythms
that can lead to death if not corrected. These symptoms occur almost always in people with serious health
problems or who are undergoing certain medical treatments.
Three Food Choices: Milk, kale, and broccoli.
Magnesium
Main Function: Cofactor for enzyme systems.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium
deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions and cramps, seizures (sudden changes in
4
behaviors caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain), personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms,
and coronary spasms can occur [1,3-4]. Severe magnesium deficiency can result in low levels of calcium in the
blood (hypocalcemia). Magnesium deficiency is also associated with low levels of potassium in the blood
(hypokalemia).
Three Food Choices: Green leafy vegetables, unpolished grains, and nuts.
Potassium
Main Function: Maintains fluid volume inside/outside of cells and thus normal cell function; acts to blunt the
rise of blood pressure in response to excess sodium intake, and decrease markers of bone turnover and
recurrence of kidney stones.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Hypokalemia, which can cause weak muscles, abnormal heart rhythms, and a
slight rise in blood pressure.
Three Food Choices: Fruits and vegetables, dried peas, and dairy products.
B. Excess Nutrients
Protein
Main Function: Serves as the major structural component of all cells in the body, s as enzymes, in
membranes, as transport carriers, and as some hormones. During digestion and absorption dietary proteins
are broken down to amino acids, which become the building blocks of these structural and functional
compounds. Nine of the amino acids must be provided in the diet; these are termed indispensable amino
acids. The body can make the other amino acids needed to synthesize specific structures from other amino
acids.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: PEM, Kwashiorkor, Marasmus, impaired mental health, oedema, organ
failure, wasting and shrinkage of muscle tissues, and a weak immune system.
Thiamin
Main Function: Coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates and branched-chain amino acids.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Brain damage can occur. One type is called Korsakoff syndrome. The other is
Wernicke's disease.
Riboflavin
Main Function: Coenzyme in numerous redox reactions.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Painful cracks form in the corners of the mouth and on the lips. The mouth
and tongue are sore, and the tongue may turn magenta. Red, greasy, scaly (seborrheic) patches may appear
around the nose, between the nose and the lips, on the ears and eyelids, and in the genital area.
Niacin
Main Function: Coenzyme or cosubstrate in many biological reduction and oxidation reactions-thus required
for energy metabolism.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: A deficiency of niacin causes pellagra. The symptoms include digestive
problems, inflamed skin and mental impairment
B6
Main Function: Coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids, glycogen and sphingoid bases.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: People may have seizures, a scaly rash, a red tongue, cracks in the corners of
the mouth, or a pins-and-needles sensation in the hands and feet. It can also cause anemia.
B12
5
Main Function: Coenzyme in nucleic acid metabolism; prevents megaloblastic anemia.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Very low vitamin B-12 level can cause symptoms of anemia, such as paleness,
weakness and fatigue (severe tiredness). It can also cause depression, dementia and other serious problems
with your nervous system. Damage to your nervous system that is caused by a low vitamin B-12 level can
become permanent if you don't get treatment promptly. Some people who have low vitamin B-12 levels also
have high levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood. If you have low vitamin B-12 and high
homocysteine, you may have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
Folate
Main Function: Coenzyme in the metabolism of nucleic and amino acids; prevents magloblastic anemia.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Fatigue, gray hair, mouth sores (ulcers), poor growth, and swollen tongue
Vitamin C
Main Function: Cofactor for reactions requiring reduced copper or iron metalloenzyme and as a protective
antioxidant.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Scurvy, anemia, bleeding gums, infections, dry and splitting hair, and poor
wound healing.
Iron
Main Function: Component of hemoglobin and numerous enzymes; prevents microcytic hypochromic
anemia.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Iron deficiency anemia, feeling tired and weak, decreased work and school
performance, slow cognitive and social development during childhood, difficulty maintaining body
temperature, decreased immune function, which increases susceptibility to infection, and glossitis (an
inflamed tongue)
Zinc
Main Function: Component of multiple enzymes and proteins; involved in the regulation of gene expression.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: It causes slow growth in infants and children, delayed sexual development in
adolescents and impotence in men. Zinc deficiency also causes hair loss, diarrhea, eye and skin sores and loss
of appetite. Weight loss, problems with wound healing, decreased ability to taste food, and lower alertness
levels can also occur.
Sodium
Main Function: Maintains fluid volume outside of cells and thus normal cell function.
Result of Chronic Deficiencies: Hyponatremia, dehydration, low blood sugar, heart palpitations, muscle
cramps, weakness or lethargy, confusion or disorientation, slurred speech, nausea, seizures, coma, or death.

III. My Perfect Plan Analysis
30
A. Overcame Deficiencies
Water
How I overcame this deficiency: By adding a 16.9 oz water bottle as my beverage with each
meal and once more with a snack, I was able to reach my DRI goals for water.
Omega 3 Fatty Acid
How I overcame this deficiency: By increasing my consumption mixed nuts and avocado to my
diet along with avocado and Caesar salads.
Vitamin A
How I overcame this deficiency: By increasing my consumption of spinach and adding foods
such as carrots and hummus as well as celery with peanut butter and raisins.
Vitamin E
How I overcame this deficiency: By increasing my consumption of mixed nuts and spinach along
with adding foods such as asparagus, broccoli, and granola bars, I was able to meet my DRI
goals.
Calcium
How I overcame this deficiency: By increasing my consumption of milk and dairy products such
as yogurt and cheese, I was able to meet my DRI goals.
Magnesium
How I overcame this deficiency: By increasing my consumption of foods such as whole wheat
breads and pastas, bananas, mixed nuts, and yogurt, I was able to meet my DRI goals.
By comparing my WB4 to my WB1, I noticed that in general, I increased my consumption of
whole wheat foods, vegetables, nuts, and dairy products. All these foods are so nutrient dense that they
can fulfill multiple minimum DRI requirements for vitamins and minerals that my body needs. My
deficiencies were Water, Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Calcium and Magnesium. By
increasing my intake of dairy products such as yogurt, I was able to not only meet my Calcium needs, but
also my magnesium needs. Foods such as mixed nuts boosted my levels of Vitamin A and Vitamin E as
well as my Omega 3 fatty acids. Adding water to every meal allowed me to meet my body’s need for
water. Eating nutrient rich foods did not just allow me to meet one vitamin or one mineral need, but it
allowed me to meet the needs of multiple vitamins and minerals.
The D.A.S.H diet has two levels of daily sodium intake; 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams per day. 1,500
milligrams a day is designed to lower cholesterol. 2,300 milligrams is the highest recommended intake
from the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In comparing WB1 to WB4, my sodium consumption did
decrease fairly significantly, moving from 3,741.59 milligrams on average per day to 2,983.16 milligrams.
Foods in my diet from WB1 that are high in sodium include French onion soup, pilaf rice, snack foods
and canned foods such as olives. I eliminated most of these foods in my WB4 and was able to lower my
sodium levels. If I was able to decrease my consumption of sodium even further, I would have to limit
my consumption of grains and lunch meats. I believe by doing this, I could meet the DRI recommended
intake for sodium.
31
Increasing consumption of Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium is also recommended by the
D.A.S.H. diet. According to the D.A.S.H. meal plan, one should consume 4,700 milligrams of Potassium,
1,250 milligrams of Calcium, and 500 milligrams of Magnesium per day. Foods like avocados, tomatoes,
and spinach all contain the highest amount of potassium from my WB4. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are
foods that allowed me to reach my calcium goals. Multigrain breads, mixed nuts, and spinach supplied
enough magnesium to meet my desired daily intake.
The D.A.S.H. diet was created in 1996 by researchers at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Boston, Center for Health Research in Portland, Duke University Medical Center in Durham, John's
Hopkins University, Baltimore and Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge and is
promoted by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The National Institute of Health
regulates this plan to prevent and control hypertension. By lowering blood pressure, one can
significantly reduce the risk for heart disease. The plan incorporates more fruits and vegetables in the
diet along with reducing amounts of sodium all while meeting other dietary vitamin and mineral needs
in order to lower blood pressure.

V. Farm to Table: Super Food Analysis
California Avocados: From Seed to Tree
In 1871, a judge by the name of R.B. Ord from Santa Barbara, California introduced avocado trees to
the United States. The trees from Mexico would prove to be fruitful, and by the 1900’s, the
commercialization of the plant would begin. As time has progressed, many different varieties of the fruit
have existed. Originating in La Habra, California, the Hass avocado has been the most popular over the
last 40 years. From conception in the United States in 1871 until now, California remains responsible for
over 90 percent of the nation’s crop. Today, nearly 5,000 growers from San Luis Obispo to San Diego
harvest on around 52,000 acres of land. Unlike many fruits and vegetables, avocados are grown year
round and only ripen after being harvested. Reaching a maximum height of 80 feet, an individual tree
can yield about 52 pounds of fruit each harvest. Avocado provides excellent sources of fiber, omega-3
fatty acids, and vitamins niacin and folate.
Conditions appropriate for growing California avocados would be that of a Mediterranean climate.
With dry summers and mild winters, this climate is where avocados thrive. Growing is fairly simple in
that anyone can plant an avocado seed in their backyard given the correct amount of space, necessary
climate, care, and time. In the case of California Avocado growers, a large span of land with an intricate
36
irrigation system is essential. Chemicals such as nitrogen and fertilizers can be dispensed through these
irrigation systems, and are regulated locally for environmental safety. Cross-pollination between A and B
flowers ensures maximum production for these farmers. That is, by planting the two different types of
flowers to bloom at the same period, the trees will (given the correct method used) cross-pollinate and
thus promote growth. The process of growing is lengthy, however, taking anywhere from 7-15 years for
a tree to produce. Leaves from the plant can be tested to determine the health of the tree. Minimum oil
levels are used to establish maturity, which is regulated by California State law. When the avocados are
flourishing from a healthy tree and oil levels are met, avocados can be harvested.
The California Avocado Commission has existed since 1978. With a budget of about 15 million a
year, the commission is responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the states avocado farms and
growers. This includes management, marketing, and product research within the growers association. In
order to assist their research, the California Avocado Commission has held a partnership with UC
Riverside for over 20 years. The focal point of research has proven to be adding variety to the spectrum
of avocado breeds. In doing so, the CAC projects that the market for genetically altered avocados will
increase, thus promoting growers’ profit. With the progression of research and technology, the CAC still
lacks the funds and support to genetically engineer a new breed of avocados. Not only are funds and
support lacking, but guidelines and well-defined objectives seem to be absent from the commission’s
research endeavors. With that being said, research seems to be inadvertently going nowhere without
the fundamental necessities needed to move forward.
As for the individual farmers, it seems as though water source is the main concern. Because so many
farmers are on a large amount of land, finding an effective, inexpensive, clean, and environmentally
sound way to sustain their trees is a necessity. Many participate in their local city councils. For example,
Duncan and Robert Abbott of Carpinteria have built their avocado farm based on the fundamental
ideologies of environmentalists. True to form, their avocados grow on all natural composts. They are
active in the restoration of Rincon Creek in Carpinteria with the Community Environmental Council. The
Abbotts are like many other California growers, becoming active in their local communities in regards to
environmental practices. Growers like the Abbotts, Gene Bianchi, and Sam McIntyre just to name a few
are among those who strive for an environmentally sound water irrigation system by getting involved
with local councils and staying up to date with technology.
California Avocados: From the Farm to the Table
California Avocados are harvested once a year from Spring through the Fall. They are picked by hand
and sent to a packing house where they are placed in a cold storage for 24 hours for preservation. They
are then sorted and checked twice for quality before being packed for shipment. From the packing
house, they are transported in refrigerated trucks to your local grocery store (international shipments).
Depending on availability, you can find a Hass Avocado at your local grocery store anywhere from three
for $1.00 to one for $1.35.
For a main dish using avocado, use 2/3 cup of black beans, rinsed and drained; ½ cup corn, drained;
½ cup of packaged shredded carrots, lightly packed; ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves; ½ cup
37
prepared chunky salsa; 2 green onions, thinly sliced; 10 drops of red pepper sauce; 2 ripe Hass avocados,
cut in half and seeded; 4 small bunches of radish or alfalfa sprouts; and 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon
juice. Combine beans, corn, carrots, cilantro, salsa, green onion, lemon and red pepper sauce in a bowl.
Fill each avocado shell with ¼ of bean mixture. Garnish with sprouts and serve.
38
VI. My Plate Analysis
Based on a 2576 Calorie Pattern
Grains
My Plate vs. DRI: Grains provide nutrients such as fiber, protein, iron, magnesium,
phosphorus, zinc, and B Vitamins. When comparing the intake of grains according to the
My Plate standard to the DRI recommended goals, it is apparent that one will assist
meeting the goals of the other. That is, by making more than half my grains whole
grains, I can meet My Plate standards for grains as well as assist meeting the DRI
standards for carbohydrates and the nutrients listed above. My Plate proves helpful in
giving a broad spectrum of foods under “Grains”, while the DRI standards break down
the nutrients in a way in which the direct foods are not listed, but rather the nutrients.
Vegetables
My Plate vs. DRI: Vegetables provide nutrients such as protein, potassium, Vitamin A,
Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and calcium. Of course, many other nutrients can be provided
from various vegetables, which is exactly why the category of “Vegetables” from My
Plate adheres to. By consuming three and a half cups of vegetables per day, I can meet
my DRI needs. When planning a meal or a day’s worth of meals, adhering to the My
Plate vegetable recommendation can allow a person to understand how to meet the DRI
needs. By knowing how much vegetables should be consumed, a person can then
decide which vegetables can provide certain vitamins to meet DRI nutrients that maybe
are lacking in the diet.
Fruits
My Plate vs. DRI: Fruits provide nutrients such as potassium, fiber, Vitamin C and folate.
These nutrients are essential in the diet, however are generally under consumed. By
consuming two cups of fruits per day, these nutrients can aid the human body in regards
to the healing process, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the risk of heart disease.
39
Fruit not only provides the above mentioned vitamins and minerals, but it also provides
water, which is the most important nutrient of them all. Again, by quantifying the
amount of fruit recommended in the diet per day, My Plate assists in meeting the DRI
needs for vitamins and minerals. The key here is to have an assortment of fruits so that
a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals reach a complementary balance.
Dairy
My Plate vs. DRI: Dairy provides nutrients such as calcium, Vitamins A, D, and K, protein,
potassium, and B12. These nutrients provide health benefits such as maintaining strong
bones and teeth, normal vision and skin, carry oxygen from the lungs to muscles, and
maintaining normal blood pressure. Having three cups of dairy provides the nutrients to
areas that can only be found in this food group. Although three cups of milk a day would
provide an adequate amount of nutrients according to DRI standards, I do feel that
along with the other areas of food I am getting more than I need. Although I do feel that
the My Plate standard does still assist in meeting DRI need by creating a broad category
for consumers to adhere to, I feel that dairy is a tricky source that can be found in areas
such as cheese and yogurt that a person might not take into consideration.
Protein Foods
My Plate vs. DRI: Protein is essential in the diet because it is a part of every cell, body
tissue, and organ in the human body. Here is where I feel the DRI needs differ than
those of My Plate. According to My Plate, I need 6.5 ounces of protein daily. My DRI
needs are much less than these, stating that I need about two ounces. If I actually ate
6.5 ounces of protein in addition to the My Plate requirements for dairy, my DRI intake
would far exceed the recommended amount. In order to meet in the middle, choosing
foods like beans instead of steak would allow me intake foods that have considerably
less amounts of protein. Giving the label “protein,” therefore might be misleading as
most people would think a piece of meat, which might contain more protein than is
actually needed.
Empty Calories
My Plate vs. DRI: My Plate recommends no more than 410 empty calories per day. DRI
recommendations do not calculate empty calories. Instead, the DRI only accounts for
nutrients and alcohol. My Plate is more realistic in this manner due to the fact that most
people do not have 100% nutrient rich foods. Instead, My Plate caps a limit on empty
calories, thus allowing consumers to quantify the amount of amount of undesirable
foods consumed.
40
VII. Water: What is the big deal?
Water: it is said to be the most essential nutrient for the human body. It makes up 60% of the body’s weight and is essential for the functionality of human cells. People cannot survive without water for more than a couple of days, making the value of this nutrient ever so clear. So why, then, is this essential nutrient something that is up for debate in the medical field? Many people adhere to the belief that the average person should consume eight ounces of water eight times a day. According to research done by Dan Negoianu and Stanley Goldfarb from the University of Pennsylvania, this societal norm is unfounded. Although much research has been done on the effects of consuming of water, Negoianu and Goldfarb assert that this research is mostly inconclusive. It is naive to believe that one piece of research can completely absolve decades of a particular nutritional practice. The converse is true as well, believing that a particular nutritional practice can remain useful when research has proven that the practice is unsubstantiated. Using research done by Negoianu and Goldfarb, I will discuss the widely accepted benefits of water and the actual research that has found this information to be baseless.
There is no denying that water is a necessity in the diet. The question is, rather, how much water is enough water? As stated before, the most well known objective for water consumption is eight ounces of water eight times each day. This is said to improve skin and organ health as well as act as an aid against the obesity epidemic. Research has proven that dehydration can cause the skin to have decreased turgor. This means that the skins elasticity is compromised due to lack of water. Although this statement is true, Negoianu and Goldfarb claim that even though dehydration can lead to decreased turgor, the opposite has not been proven to improve skin health. The same can be said as far as the correlation of organ health and water consumption. For there to be a positive correlation between the two, increasing water consumption would have to be retained in the organs without being excreted to improve functionality. This research is non-existent, however, being that too many variables affect the objective. That is, in short, that there is no study that directly concludes that when excess water is consumed, organs retain water for an increased amount of time. According to research, the speed in which the water is ingested affects the retention of water in an organ rather than the amount actually consumed. The same can be said about the effects that water consumption has on satiety and the direct link this has on the obesity epidemic. Many have adopted the belief that having an eight ounce glass of water before a meal will increase satiety, thus promoting a decrease in caloric intake. What research has shown is that although water consumption does have a direct affect on increasing satiety when consumed before a meal, it does not affect the hunger that results following a meal.
Negoianu and Goldfarb’s research does not in any way disprove the fundamental need for
water. Water is a necessity for every human being; however the question of “how much” is what seems to be undeterminable as a blanketed concept. Rather, it is something that is determined based on an individual bases. It is difficult to establish how much water is enough water, but it is not challenging to conclude that water has infinitely more essential to the human body than any other beverage that can be consumed. By understanding the damage that occurs when water is not present is the basis of this concept. Therefore it is a matter of how much water, but that water is essential.
41
VIII. Fiber: What is the Big Deal?
Fiber is an essential nutrient that the human body cannot readily absorb. After research
on this nutrient became prevalent in the mid 20th century, the United States has seemed to
adopt a sort of “fiber trend”. Anyone can see it printed on labels found in the cereal, bread,
beverage, and snack sections in grocery markets. Fiber enriched foods are marketed heavily, or
rather the fiber in foods is exceedingly marketed maybe even past actual value. It is naturally
found in foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Because this nutrient is so relevant
in society, one may ask, “What is the big deal about fiber?” Many people can easily answer this
question by stating the most wide-spread answer: it aids in digestion. Is this all that fiber does?
By examining the affects of fiber and the positive health affects that this nutrient provides, it is
very clear that this nutrient does so much more than promoting a healthy digestive system. I will
discuss the main areas of health that fiber promotes and how these health benefits can
transcend to a healthier lifestyle.
Recommended fiber intake depends on age and gender. For males and females, the DRI
recommends between 25 and 38 grams a day for those aged between 19 and 50 years old. By
consuming the recommended amount, the health benefits proven are vast. The most well
known benefit is preventing constipation, hemorrhoids, and diverticulosis. Insoluble fiber binds
to water and thus allows stools to be softer and bulkier. Because of this, the digestive system is
regulated and unwanted toxins will more readily be excreted from the body with an increase in
fiber intake. Another major function of fiber is lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. The
mechanics of how fiber does this is scientifically unclear; however research does suggest that
increasing fiber lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. In addition to supporting a healthy digestive
tract and lowering cholesterol, fiber also has been used as a tool in weight loss. Because fiber is
not digested and is filling, when it is included in meals, many will consume less calories due to
the full sensation fiber brings. By controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight, people
have a significantly less chance of obtaining certain diseases such as type II diabetes, certain
cancers, and heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
If you knew you could prevent yourself from the leading cause of death in the United
States, would you? Many believe they can through fiber, which is why this nutrient has become
such a “big deal”. It is my own belief that if there is something that we as individuals to have a
positive effect on the length of our existence, we have an obligation to ourselves to adhere to it.
Of course, fiber alone cannot promote a healthy life. There are other factors need to be under
consideration such as family health history, the intake of other nutrients, and availability. That
being said, by acquiring the knowledge of the benefits of this nutrient, one might be able to give
meaning to the fiber trend.
42
IX. My Wellness Life
My family health history is not one that creates the desirable happy ending that I would
hope for myself. My mother alone is on high blood pressure medication, has a kidney and liver
disease called polycystic kidney and liver disease, and has thin heart valves. These conditions
run deep throughout her family lineage. As for my father, skin cancer seems to be the only
traceable health problem throughout his family. Because of my mother’s conditions, my mother,
as well as our family of four, adheres to specific dietary guidelines. My mother is not able to
have much protein, citrus, or caffeine. Instead, her diet must be based on carbohydrates, fruits,
and vegetables. Sodium is completely detrimental to her heath. The dietary guidelines that my
mother must live by are not those that the healthy members of our family must adopt. I only
imagine the struggle that she goes through as we eat our chicken breast while she can only have
a small section. Although I have a projected ten year risk of heart disease of fewer than two
percent, this is not the lifestyle I would want for myself. I would not love to even further restrict
my diet due to conditions that that could be avoidable. Because of this, nutritional health is of
the upmost importance.
Every day I prepare lunch and dinner for a four year old and one year old. When I
prepare these meals, I try to be nutritionally conscious. This has transcended into my own meal
planning. Caring for others really has made me care for myself. I do feel that by taking this class,
43
I am even more aware of how to distinguish whole foods from processed foods, how to
determine nutritional value, and how to have a well balanced diet. Written on paper, this
sounds easy. It has proven to be the challenging, but not completely out of reach. In fact, I have
found that it is rather difficult to make positive food choices when my meals have not been
planned. When I can consider the foods that I have eaten throughout the day, I can now make
better choices. Previously, I did not even consider things like which nutrients I consumed earlier
in the day and how I can reach a balanced diet on a daily basis. For most Americans, the
pressures of day to day life are difficult enough. Running around from work, school, home,
perhaps children, a family, friends, etc. is not something that leaves a lot of time for delicate
meal planning. The knowledge of how much nutrients a person should ingest, which foods
provide which nutrients, and how to make quick, nutritious decisions, the difficulty of leading a
nutritious life is far more obtainable.
I want to live a long life. I want to be able to watch my family and friends grow with the
certainty that I have done all I can do to be able to be on this earth long enough to do so. With
so many things out of control such as car accidents, natural disasters, and other horrors, it is
comforting to know that there is one thing that you can do to ensure more time on this earth.
