When it comes to the topic of nutrition, most of us agree that in order to live a long healthy life one must eat right and choose nutritious alternatives to preserved and fast food products. The incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy is a huge problem that lingers in our every day lives. In recent discussions of nutrition, a controversial issue has been whether obesity is determined by the food industry or the way we eat. Some are convinced that trusting yourself and your body will lead to better choices, others argue that eating food in moderation and more fruits and vegetables is the path to choose. In this day and age, there are many different debates on what one can do to eat healthier and make better decisions in regard to diet. Many people have proposed their own theories and advice on beginning a healthier lifestyle, such as Mary Maxfield and Michael Pollan.…
We need nutrients, but we eat food. Foods are not good or bad in themselves. Combined they make up a healthy (or not), diet. No one food by itself contains all the nutrients in the appropriate amounts needed for best growth and health. THERE IS NO ONE PERFECT FOOD. Everyone needs same nutrients. Do they need the same amount??…
Being a deaf is one of the most rare and difficult situation for many people. Many people have not experience being a deaf or even have deaf related or even have a deaf friend and that what makes deaf being ignored by these normal people. Deaf people have created their own community. Living in this community makes their lives a lot easier than lives in our community. I have never ever experience living or having a friend who is a deaf, but knowing about their lives was one of my most wanted things. Watching this documentary about these two families have opened my eyes about who these people could communicate with others. These two families had the same situation with their children but one of them was negative while the other was more open mind.…
The definition of nutrition has been changing with in past years. Many people might think that nutrition is only what is being eaten in human life and others would think of it as human health. Although the meaning is not only what is being eat or the health, nutrition is actually described as "biological, social and environmental dimensions together"(p.697,Beauman, C, 2005, September). Myself, I always thought of it as what I eat and did not consider it as part of my health until I entered university and start studying the definition of health. At some points in life my point of view changed, and this in turn changed my habits. It is important whether these changes are positive or negative. Generally, in society, eating habits have been changing in a…
Nutrition affects every aspect of life whether the people want to see it or not. Proper nutrition is a lot like keeping up the maintenance on a car; if the traveler doesn’t prepare the car before the trip and doesn’t maintain the car during the trip then the car will fail and he will never reach his destination. Just like with owning a first car there are things needed to know before the new owner can drive off the lot, such as maintaining the car. Maintenance is key to keeping a car running at an optimal efficiency, as with knowing how to nourish the body so it doesn’t break down and fail (Ingram Jr., 2009). Before being sent out on the journey through life, the individual needs to know how to take care of and nourish the body so it will last throughout the entire journey and carry him to the finish line. A mandatory two-year nutrition and cooking class for high school students would help to prepare them for the journey through life that they will soon embark on. This class would cover proper nutrition, menu planning and then spend a year in the cafeteria learning how to prepare these nutritious foods. A high school nutrition class is a perfect time to set the foundation on which the next generations can sustain a healthy life and take the journey of a lifetime.…
