Meal Check

Below I have a list of the meals that I ate on Saturday, January 31st, 2015. I found this activity to be very exciting because I enjoy learning about health and fitness. I enjoy eating healthy not only because of its health-benefiting effects, but also because I feel better throughout the day. In addition, I also enjoy working out at the gym regularly and it has been a passion of mine since I was younger. The importance of this assignment focuses on cardiac patients and how they require a cardiac diet in order to live a healthy life. It is important for these individuals to eat meals that are low in fat (fat-free, 1-percent fat), low in cholesterol (less than 13g of saturated fat), low in sugar, low in sodium (less than 2400mg). Aside from these restrictions, it is also necessary to increase fiber, fruits, and vegetables. I have learned a lot from this assignment and I have even made some changes to my own diet. I have even found myself checking nutrition facts and comparing different items with each other. Remember, you only have ONE body!
