According to the recommended food pyramid, I should be eating more servings of fruits and
vegetables than anything else I eat. Also, I should stop eating as many grains and proteins, and
I should add oil into my diet. It’s important to eat many vegetables and fruits because they
provide the body with vitamins essential to its health like vitamins A, C, and E. Too much protein
can lead to the kidneys overworking from trying to filter out the extra protein and can eventually
destroy the kidneys, so it should be eaten at the correct amount of servings. Protein helps by
building muscle and making enzymes. Carbohydrates are stored energy but too much of this will
make the excess be stored as fat. Dairy and oil can increase the risk of heart disease and
should also be consumed at the right amount, so oils would build and repair the body. All of the
food groups can positively affect my health as long as I follow the food pyramid and consume
the best serving amounts.
How lipids are converted to maintain homeostasis. Lipids get broken down to be stored as long
term energy in animal cells. The fat protects and insulates to keep heat inside the body.
I learned from my food journal that I should focus more on eating from the important food
groups. My table showed me that I eat a lot of grains and dairy and not enough vegetables and
fruits. This information helped me to know to make better food choices in the future. In addition,
I should work on exercising more everyday. I now know the consequences of what will happen
from consuming too much or too little of a certain food group and am able to make the right
choices that will be best for my health.
