As a full-time student, full-time worker, and a young mother of three years old daughter, I don’t have time for myself. I spend all my daytime at work, and then I am taking classes at night time. I don’t pay attention to the nutrition much because I have lacked time to prepare it, so my favorite foods are fast foods. My spare is only to only do my assignments. I have never gone exercise, and I usually sleep less than seven hours for the day. Therefore, having a lack of sleeping totally affects to my energy, so I cannot focus on working as well as being in class. Therefore, after reading this required text book, I understood the importance of nutrition, sleep, and exercise are to maintain my health, so I changed my mind. Next semester, I will take only two classes at Pacific Oaks College, and I will spend more time to learn and cook healthy food. When I have time, I will go exercising with my daughter. Therefore, these new concepts are helping me to change my life

I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously imagined.

  • Feeding Your Brain

    1703 Words  | 4 Pages

    As a typical college student, I suffer from daily stresses, lack of sleep and lack of a proper diet. I have pulled countless all nighters; my body and brain fueled only by coffee, chocolate and pizza, in order finish a paper or study for an exam. As a result, I may have done better on the paper or test, but I was being very unkind to my body and brain. In terms of nutrition, it is important to think of the brain as just another organ in the body. The food and other substances we put into our bodies affect our behavior, mood, thoughts and emotions. The brain responds very quickly to proper nutrition. However, as a college student who dines daily in the dining hall, I most likely do not get the nutrients needed to maximize my brain potential. In this paper, I'm going to take you through a day of brain friendly meals and explain why our brains and bodies need more than coffee, chocolate and pizza to thrive and survive.
