Final Assessment
What did you like about this course?
What I liked about this course, was that I was never pressured. When I first started the program, I was scared because I felt that I would in some way be judged due to my weight however it was the complete opposite. Most of the assignments have also helped me comprehend where I need change and how to do so. For example, Time Management or Personal Exercise Plan..etc
What was the most useful component that you learned?
The essential element I learned in this course was Chapter seven; body composition. I like that chapter because before this program I had a hard time comprehending why my body was a certain way, I would always blame myself. In particular, I would ask myself why are my thighs and calves bigger and stronger. After reading that chapter, I now understand that not only does genetics play a significant factor in the way our bodies are but also

I say this because whenever I start a workout plan, I am never consistent with keeping it up. When I started the program I couldn't understand the purpose of building muscles and the benefits of it; I just thought that by doing so I would only become bulky which I did not want. Most times, I would set a goal for the ideal weight I wanted to be for example I would say lose 20 pounds before Carmel's wedding in July, and I would work towards it. However, now when I work out it's not just about how much I am going to lose but also have the proper ways to build muscle, effective ways to stretch before and after workouts and the different types of training to get the best results. Furthermore, by reading the fitness and lifestyle management for law enforcement textbook, I honestly feel more motivated to be in shape. Not to mention, they illustrated different health concerns based on statistics about society today. I feel more at risk than ever but certainly working on
After taking this class, it would be impossible to see things, specially people or myself, the same way. Whether or not the intention of the class is to provide self-improvement information, it would be impossible for the student to ignore the issues, disorders, etc., identified throughout this fast-paced plethora of information. Of course what the student decides to retains is obviously subjective; which lead us to the application of the stress and health profiles. After the completion of the scales provided, and the grading associated, it would be hard not to realize how we can better our lives, if we make minor adjustments in our way of life. I for one, personalized a large part of this information, something I probably would not have been able to do, at least at the same level, back when I was a young adult.
Holistic nutrition is increasingly becoming popular in healthcare practice due to the growing detoxification culture amongst the people with the aim of improving individual health. Consumption of toxic elements toxifies the body, the consumption of processed food products is the primary cause of diseases amongst the people. There is increased use of Holistic Nutrition by both healthy people and people with health conditions with the aim of achieving optimum body function and health. The increased use of holistic nutrition in the community improves health outcomes and reduces poor health outcomes that are caused by poor lifestyle choices of using processed food products. Holistic nutrition provides a natural approach of ensuring positive health
With college right around the corner and taking a college course gave a real sense of how college classes are going to work giving me an edge over all of the other students going to college that didn’t take a dual enrollment course. Dual enrollment was honestly one of the best decisions I made in my academic career because like what I was saying this class taught me the inner workings of how most assignment are going to be turned in, what it means to be self-reliant/ on your own have no help with assignment from your parents, experiencing a course that only a handful of assignment rather than a ton of assignment ends up making up over eighty percent of your grade (getting you to work extra hard so you won’t fail) and finally that you have to actually interact with the professor/teacher if you need help or are having trouble with an
...urture is the concept of our environment, but more importantly it is about self-control. Unhealthy eating habits do not just materialize overnight; these behaviors are learned. This course has allowed me to put into perspective how that donut today could effect tomorrow. Being a millennial, as my generation is known, has put the youth of today at a major disadvantage. We are accustomed to having everything instantaneously. We need to educate ourselves about the dangers of our “me first, me now” detriment. This course has given me a wonderful insight as to how to not only understand the disease process, but also remedy this process before irreparable damage may occur. I’ve also been able to see that anything is possible with the right support system in place. It is very important to believe in the power of my ability to make positive and lasting changes in my life.
The things I have learned from this class are very informative. The Diet Analysis project has taught me a lot about my eating habits and has gotten me to change them in order to live a healthier lifestyle. Probably the biggest change I will make after completing this project is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables will give me a lot of fiber in my diet. I will have to limit my fat intake, especially saturated fats from animals. I plan to pass the information I have learned in this course to friends and family to hopefully keep them aware that they should also watch what they eat.
Education plays a dominant role in the lives of students all over the United States. Since most students spend roughly eight to twelve hours in school, it is important to make sure that they are provided with a healthy and nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack.
Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. 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.
Nutrition and physical activity are important aspects as they improve health and reduce chronic diseases. In June of this year my family physician placed me on a doctor assisted weight loss program that enabled me to eat my favorite foods but in appropriate proportions and in heathier ways. The best part about Supertracker is that it gives me wonderful tools to support me in understanding and meeting my goals. Once I created a profile through Supertracker I was provided a personal plan to follow including the amount of grains, vegetables, fruits, and protein I needed to be successful. For three consecutive days, I entered my food and activity intake into Supertracker and was able to analyze the excesses and deficiencies

A dietary assessment method is a critical component in many aspects of nutritional epidemiology such as evaluating energy and nutrient intake in free-living individuals (Taren, et al., 2002). The purpose of dietary assessment data collection is to establish the causal associations between diet and disease aetiology (Jain, et al., 1996). However, it is very difficult to measure exactly how much food people eat or to determine the nutrient content of the diet (Wild, et al., 2001). Therefore, the valid and precise techniques are required to estimate accurate and detailed information on food and nutrient intake as well as eating patterns for identification of the dietary influence on health and disease (Bingham, et al.,1994).
When I reflect on myself in this course I really think about how it opens up one’s mind and inner self. Who would have thought that a course in such a short period of time could make you really think about life and the decisions and choices we make on a daily basis, or the idea of something so simple as why we are the way we are? This course makes you change your perspective on how you view others but especially on how you view yourself. It is almost like an unexpected journey of finding yourself.
Since we have been learning about nutrition in class, our task was to record a food log. Nutrition requires a well-balanced diet containing nutrient and vitamins like amino acids and fatty acids. Over the past seven days I have been recording and have been looking very carefully at my intake of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. In our task, the objective was to record the basic foods we ate during the period of seven, but it did not require recording every single detail or our intake of food. Doing this food log was a pain and it was disturbing because I never wrote about what I ate like breakfast, lunch, dinner, or additional meals. I found this food log useful because it helped me learn what I can change in my intake of foods to make my diet healthy and to see what about my diet is affecting me from being healthy because I could affect me in the future.
Diet can improve an individual's health, reduces the risk of certain diseases and conditions or ultimately damage your health. Based on the amount and type of food individuals eat, it can increase the risk of being overweight or obese and having health problems. The health benefits of a nutritious diet are numerous and can affect every stage of an individual's lifespan. In childhood, a healthy diet is essential as it promotes normal growth and development.
It is necessary to maintain a healthy nutrition in order to maintain a good health in life. It is a key factor to know what kind of nutrients you need for a good developing in life. When I did this assignment I learned many things about the food that I usually eat and what it is necessary for me to improve my nutrition. I also learned about how to track my daily calories and that there are empty calories that I need to take in consideration. Moreover, I discovered that I need to have more nutrients in different categories such as dietary fiber. I also took in consideration the amount of exercise that I need in order to burn calories and remain healthy. When I finished the food tracker I created a plan to improve my nutrition habits and to improve
For each of the projects I have tried to ask myself what is the one thing I want to gain. Each assignment has given me a chance to reflect on a different part of myself. I am glad that I choose to workout and adjust my diet for my ICP because that is something that I tried to commit to in the past. I think it was helpful for me to make a gradual plan because I could hold myself accountable but also adjust the plan so it suited my schedule. I am so glad I took the time and made the effort to work on these goals because I was able see physical results and change my attitude about the gym.
