My Health Habits

Compare to the recommendations from the Canadian Food Guide (2011), I need to increase my grain products and vegetables/fruits intake, and eat less milk/alternatives and meat/alternatives. In two week period, daily I had average 5.9 guide servings of grain products, 6.2 guide servings of vegetables/fruits, 2.1 guide servings of milk/alternatives and 2.8 guide servings of meat/alternatives.

I had average 7.1 hours of sleep each night, which fulfilled the minimum of recommendation. It would be beneficial if I sleep longer at night. I completed more than three hours of moderate- to vigorous- aerobic physical activity at the first week, and around two hours of moderate aerobic physical activity at the second week in this two week period.
