This semester I have learned a considerable amount in Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. The wide array of content covered helped me learn a lot about different subjects. Some of my favorite activities were the Fitness Fridays and the various speakers. I was glad this class had a mixture of ways that the material was presented because it helped really understand the topics. The main topics that I feel like changed my lifestyle the most were the Behavior Change Contract, the Access Yourself Quizzes, and the lectures.
My Behavior Change Contract was about getting a regular running schedule. Writing my goals down helped me stick to the goal. I was good about keeping my schedule and going running everyday around the same time. It made me feel good to …show more content…

I learned that I was not getting the proper mix of healthy vegetables. I am bad about not eating enough proteins and mix of vegetables to get all the vitamins I need. When I started college I was having a hard time eating a balanced diet because of the lack of variety being offered. As the weeks progressed the food began to get healthier and I was able to learn how to balance my meals better.
The lectures that had the most impact on me where the movie, Fathead and the one on birth control. A lot of facts about food that I had previously believed were debunked. I also was surprised about how biased the movie, Supersize Me. I watched that movie in middle school biology and I took it as a complete truth and even my teacher did not question the realibty of the film. Fathead presented a lot more facts and sources which helped me separate fact from fiction. On the other hand, I learned a lot about different birth control rather than just a male condom and the pill. It helped show me more options for both genders.
This class has helped me change the way I see nutrion and exercise, it even showed about Zumba and I enjoyed it so much that I am taking the class next semester. I liked the various speakers and group presentations. This class was overall fun and informative. I am glad that I took this

The "Challenge: Expand Our Circle" in this course was very enjoyable. Most of the movies that were played were movies I would have never thought about watching. A few of these movies touched my heart and made me quite emotional. Also, a few of the movies dealt with quite a bit of cultural tensions which made the movie interesting to watch. Before this class, I would have never paid much attention to the music in the movies and how much they connect with the scenes in the movies.

The topic does still interest me and I will continue to research what works and what doesn’t until I figure it out for me. Then maybe I can pass my plan along and it will be what works for someone else. Currently, I am working on the diet aspect of losing weight and what different ratios of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats assist in losing weight. I would really like to know more about how the chemistry of the body changes when you eat different foods Reflect upon the research skills you have developed throughout this class.

Before taking this class, I didn't know much about other countries, and what was happening around the world, but now I know what is happening worldwide.

Over the years in America food and how it is consumed has changed, and we seem to actually be eating more unhealthy despite advances in modern science and technology. In Michael Pollan’s book, “In Defense of Food”, Pollan talks about this idea, and how food itself has been replaced by the nutrients in them. Today’s development of food science has done more harm than good, and the food industry has become industrialized. People have to avoid the new “Western diet” and need to go back to the natural way of eating healthy foods. When I arrived at college, I completely changed my diet for good after just a single week in, as I had a realization I needed to eat healthier to transform my relationship with not only food, but with my body and mind.

What new knowledge or valuable information did I gain from the lectures, readings, and speakers? Throughout the duration of this semester in this class, we have learned a lot of different facts about death that you normally would not get unless actively seeking it out. I have learned so much through this course that I would never have been able to get unless I took it. I never thought that I would find it both interesting and amazing to learn about death, but the way this course was presented made it seem like it was something other than just a person dying.
