Which recommendation do you think people have the hardest time following?

There are no Good foods or bad foods.

Food for Today, 266

That is a bunch of bologna. However, it is true that you can be healthy without eating good foods 100% of the time. If you eat the bad foods in moderation, exercise regularly, and eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods with most meals, you should be okay.
Many health professionals recommend the 90% rule when people are trying to lose weight or become healthier. How often do you think you eat good foods?

Other Foods
Food for Today, 279

Fats, oils, sugars, tea, co!ee, alcohol, ca!eine, herbs, and spices may provide calories from fat and sugar, but little or no vitamins and minerals.

This is sort of bologna, too, as there are numerous health benefits from eating certain herbs, spices, and fats (and even coffee!).
Some examples: - Turmeric: very nutrient-dense, and high in a
number of minerals (calcium, iron, potassium) and vitamins (Vitamin B6 and riboflavin)

- Sage: high in Vitamin K, and said to help with

brain function

- Coffee: contains the vitamin riboflavin, speeds

up your metabolism (caffeine), and can improve your mood and energy levels.

Personal Eating Habits

Friday, March 28, 14

Food habits affect us emotionally, physically, and psychologically.

Food for Today, 287

The Effects of Our Eating Habits

Some of the benefits to providing your body with the nutrients it needs include:
- your brain and muscles work optimally - you are more alert - you get better sleep - your mood is improved - you have energy - your body is able to fight off diseases

As busy students, what are some ways you can improve your eating habits for university?
Friday, March 28, 14

Some Strategies
Grazing: by eating many smaller meals
instead of 2 or 3 larger meals per day, some find that they have less cravings and have to spend less time in the kitchen.

Meal Planning: by planning what you are

going to eat for the coming week, you reduce the risk of finding yourself making poor (or negative) food choices.

Keeping a Record: you would likely be

surprised to see how much you eat (and what you eat) every day! This certainly forces you to think about your food choices.

Do you think they are successful in achieving that purpose? Why or why not? 4.) Which strategy do you think is most effective in helping people develop better eating habits? (This does not have to be a strategy mentioned in class.)

Upcoming assignment
Having tracked your own eating habits for a week, use the knowledge you have gained from this unit to reflect on your diet. Are you eating from all the food groups? If not, how might you change your habits to make sure you incorporate those missing foods into your diet? Are you getting all the macro- and micronutrients you need? If not, how might you change your habits to make sure you get those nutrients? What other changes might you need to make if you want to follow Canadas Guidelines for Healthy Eating?
