The DRI recommendation for sodium is 1,500 mg whereas the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is < 2300 mg. When comparing these recommended sodium intake to the average amount of sodium intake I had during the diet project part one, I was shocked to see that I ate an excess of 133 mg more than the set UL. During the project the foods that contributed to my
- Reduced fat milk - Dark leafy greens - Blackstrap Molasses c. How much sodium did you consume? Is this too low, just right, or too high? How can you ensure you are between 1500-2300 mg/day (This may be the opposite--what foods should you avoid or limit and by how much)?
Through research it was found the total amount of sodium in a typical meal at Chick-Fil-A which is 2000 milligrams. In my recommended amount of sodium for a day is less than 2300 milligrams. This is for one meal of the day, and this sodium level is more than two-thirds of my daily intake. There are some specific foods which contributed to the high sodium levels but the one food item that had the highest level of sodium was the chicken sandwich itself. The sodium level in the sandwich was 1640
When it comes to making a profit, the industry will go to great ends to keep their customers buying, and in increasing amounts. So when it comes to sugar, fat, and salt, they “methodically study and control their use”. Food scientists engineer these foods to get the most alluring results, even if the final product isn’t healthful and contains detrimental amounts of an ingredient. With how well these high calorie foods sell, the industry does not have much of an incentive to produce healthier foods. Generally the only time companies are willing to adjust content levels are when health concerns make people spend more money on healthier alternatives, thus offsetting the rise in production costs it takes to create foods with less of the ingredients that serve as such effective fillers.
“Just because you’re not sick doesn’t mean you’re healthy” – Unknown. After recording my usual for a day and figuring out the detailed nutrients in each meal and comparing them to the average that I’m actually supposed to be getting every day. I realized that my eating style might not be the best choice I could make since it might have a negative effect on me in the future. In my target nutrients, I only surpassed my total limit of calories by a little bit which meant that just one snack may have not been necessary.
“Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts...perhaps the fear of a loss of power,” says John Steinbeck. Some people feel that all they need to succeed is power and if they lose that power they will be nothing. Not accomplishing their aspirations and retributions could be apart of losing that power. The “fear of a loss of power” can be someone's key motivation to do what they feel is necessary to keep that power at their fingertips.
I had too many calories (3166), protein (232.42), carbohydrates (379.96) and fat(81.61). However, I was low in fiber (33.4) and sodium (1990). It was hard to balance it mostly because I was getting hungry during the day even I had good meals, also I was doing activities so I had to take the food out of home in a lunch box, and I think I had lunch way too early so, at half of the day I had to stop at a subway, I decided subway because I love choosing the sandwich and adding items and removing items is one of the best features in subway. And I am used to taking dinner like it is a lunch, a full plate with everything on it.
As a "writer" I 've found my writing style to be more of a put together flourish of words and thoughts that in another 's opinion might seem like it never left the drafting stage (besides the few grammatical edits and big words to make it seem like it was written by someone smart). I went through a stage of writing in purely second person, and because of that I lost the ability to respect the need of more emotional descriptiveness. I 've gotten embarrassed to write in that context and end up passing it up for more serious tones that just don 't get my writing anywhere extraordinary. I want to gain confidence in my writing so I can go the places I want to go with it, while also learning to keep it organized and in line with my exact thoughts. My thoughts seem to provide a more well-laid out idea than my actual writing does.
My history as a writer has been a bit of a struggle of slow development. From a young age I had a hard time with spelling and this is still a trouble area for me, even with the help of autocorrect. As I grew in age and as a writer my problematic area became not including enough nitty gritty details. My bad experiences that I recall would always involve the start of writing because I struggle with beginning paragraphs. Also, I tend to use the ending paragraph to just repeat myself, so overall my first and last paragraphs are usually shit.
I can 't remember when I began writing as a hobby, but I 've done it long enough for it to feel like a part of me. Everyday, whenever I have time or am in the mood, I try to write something before I go to bed. Whatever that had been scratching at my brain, or something that I want to experiment, I write down before the thought becomes meaningless. Inspirations come from many different sources and at many different times of the day. Often times I find myself struck with an idea when I 'm outside, only to inconspicuously jot my thoughts down onto my phone.
The main aim for the campaign ‘Adults and children over 11 should eat no more than 6g of salt a day’ was to inform and raise awareness of salt as a public health issue. The recommendation came about by The UK’s Committee on Medical aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy in 1994 and further validated in 2003 by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition. A number of research that have been carried out showed that a high salt consumption is the key reason as to why elevated blood pressure occurs in the UK. The amount of salt you eat has a direct effect on your blood pressure.
People live busy lives, and therefor they find it faster to go and eat at a fast food chain to get a quick meal, either at lunch, in between meetings, or families may grab a quick meal with the family between work and taking a child to sports, dance classes, or any type of extra curriculum after school. Small children like the toys that they receive with their meals, and parents will purchase these meals for them as a treat. Now a days people are watching their diets and the fast food is trying to make their foods healthier. Sodium is not just in salt out of a salt shaker. The strategies that the PR can use the FDA report by showing the sodium in each of the different foods that they have to offer.
Writing the first essay had its challenges, starting from the preparation in developing a good paper. I had challenges getting previously annotated work, on paper, in a way for the reader to understand. My writing style emphasizes my voice and thoughts in the moment instead of thinking it over in advance before I begin writing. This was our first essay in English 20, so I wanted to put an extra effort to make sure important points from the text were mentioned in a way for the reader to understand. I was able to get more feedback about what I needed to improve on instead of the things I was successful within in my writing.
As I began the journey of returning to school, one of my biggest fears, was the writing aspect in the classes. The fear of reading and writing has never been a strong quality; however, I have never able to successfully be creative in the way I learn. I understand my weaknesses and when I need to focus on my strengths. I am constantly learning new ways, skills, and tools to utilize to continue to grow as a writer. Focusing on my strengths allows me to have the security that I can be a good writer.
I. We consume 8,500mg of salt per day, almost all from processed food. This is only one of the many reasons people have poor nutrition. Humans tend to not know the difference between processed and real foods causing the nutrition levels in our society to drop at an alarming rate. For years this problem has been a big factor to obesity and illness. Real food is a single ingredient with no chemicals even if they’re ground and put into a jar.
