After completing this assignment and keeping a record of my diet of the three days, I feel that I could benefit from making some simple changes to my diet. For example, I will strive to include more variety in my diet. I will try to eat more of a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains each day in an effort to raise my fiber intake on any given day. My diet does not currently consist of fiber-rich bean dishes, such as chili, beans in salad, or split-pea soup. Eating whole fruit, instead of fruit juices, I feel, is important for having a well-balanced diet. Whole fruits include the right amount of nutrients. When consumed as juice, these fruits loose nutritional value and most likely include a high amount of sugar. In addition, the fiber content is not as high when consumed in the form of juice. In an effort to live a healthy life that includes a healthy diet, I now understand that it is so important to eat a variety of foods that include the right amount of proteins, carbohydrate, fats, and fiber. Having a diet that consists of such variety will help lower the risk that I may develop diseases caused from improper eating.
