    Apart from the exercise routine, I suggest Jamie to introduce whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, oats, vegetables, fruits, lean-cut meats, extra virgin organic olive oil, nuts and seeds to her daily diet. Another great ally to Jamie's diet is chamomile tea, a study from the University of Pennsylvania tested chamomile supplements on 57 participants with generalized anxiety disorder for 8 weeks, and found it led to a significant drop in anxiety symptoms. Also, another tip for Jamie is, when she feels the urge to eat sweets she can have a square of 70% or more dark chocolate without added sugars.…

    Food industry misleads us by calculating the fat content in packaged food on “weight basis” whereas the fat content (having to do more with the calorific value of a food item and not its weight) actually has to be calculated on the basis of the calorie value of the food item. So, the “calorie basis” is what has to be applied to know how much fat our food items actually carry. Here are three interesting eye-openers!!…

I eat more complete proteins but really lack the incomplete this is important to know because there needs to be a good balance between the two one shouldn’t be too far away from the other not being this way could cause some serious health issues high cholesterol obesity and even death. I was very surprised by my numbers I received because I’ve never really thought about what I ate until now my carbohydrates protein and lipids intake was almost double what it should be to fix this problem I would have to cut out a lot of fast food and drink plenty more water and let go of some of the snacks I eat and replace them with a fruit or something a lot more healthy than my usually choices.…

    In order to improve my current diet, I need to reduce my caloric intake to the 1500-calorie diet recommended on USDA’s SuperTracker. The most efficient way to do this is to eat healthier meals at home rather than unhealthy, easy to procure fast food. In addition, I exceed my sodium intake with 2,016 mg on average, 516 mg over the recommended amount. Due to harmful effects of high sodium intakes on blood pressure, a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney diseases, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine established the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for Sodium at 2,300 mg. This indicates that I must lower my sodium intake as a precautionary measure (Higdon, Sodium (Chloride), 2001). Again, as mentioned above, the most proficient way to do this is by eliminating fast food out of my diet along with analyzing nutrition labels for high sodium content.…

    of protein. Day two I consumed 11 ½ oz. of grains, 2 ¼ cup of vegetables, ¼ cup of fruit, 1 ¼ of dairy and 4 ½ oz. of protein. Day three I consumed 8oz. of grains, 3 ¼ cup of vegetables, no fruit, 1 ¼ cup of dairy and 9oz. of protein. According to the three day analysis I was either under the recommended intake amount or way over the intake amount recommended for me within my plan. To modify my diet to best use the six classes of nutrients and recommended serving I will include more vegetables in my meals. Instead of eating candy and a lot of sweets I will eat fruit that is sweet to make up for the candy. I will change the way I make my salads instead of ice berg lettuce I will use dark leafy green lettuce to make my salads. I will stop drinking a lot of sodas and replaced them with 100% fruit juice or water. The six classes of nutrients are water, protein, carbohydrate, lipids (fats), vitamins and minerals. My nutrients intake affects my current health because I recently found out I have high blood pressure and I am sure my current diet plays a major role. I never thought about just how much sodium is in some of the foods I eat such as pork and I love bacon and…
