Nutrition Analysis

My daily food tracking was pretty normal on what I ate everyday. I was given an 1800-calorie budget but only ended up eating under 1400 calories a day that also includes doing a 30+ minute workout. I eat a lot of fruits, veggies, dairy and protein but I don’t really eat a whole lot of grains (carbs). Doing Falcon Market l learned a lot about different foods that are good and bad for you. The snack stations the most. I don't usually eat snacks throughout the day but a lot of the snacks at the table as in cookies, the frosting, peanut butter, almond and cake mixes had trans-fat in them. I don’t have that sweet tooth so it wasn't a huge surprise for me. But at the other table booth where there was cereal, pancakes, packaged foot, turkey lunchmeat, salad and more the calorie differences was surprising. To me I think I eat pretty healthy: for breakfast, I always have fruit and a glass of milk with that I will have egg whites with veggies or oatmeal. Lunch; I usually have a salad, or hummus with veggies and turkey rolls, and for dinner I always eat some kind of of green, glass of milk, fish, chicken, pasta.

            I think there is little to do with my diet, but if I had to change one thing it would be the second and third portions. I try to take what I want to eat and that is it, but sometimes I don't realize how hungry I actually am. Anything thing I could change is the opposite sometimes I think I am hungry when I am not, I have heard that if you drink a big glass of water before you eat you won't be as hungry, sometimes food is in front of me I will just pick at it, not realizing that I am eating.  I have cut back a bunch of by sweets like dessert to once a week. During TV commercials I do a sit-ups, plank, push-ups, jumping jacks just to get my heart rate up.

            If I were coaching someone on how to eat healthy, I would tell him or her that eating foods that are rich with protein is best; you don't get so hungry as quickly. I have also noticed that the less bread, pasta, carbs I am eating the better I feel, I have more energy and don’t get so tired. I would also recommend that you get 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. Snacking late at night is another issue; it's not good to go to bed on a full stomach. Have dessert 2x a week instead of every night. Don’t get prepackaged meals for your dinner, cook at home instead. One thing that has helped me is that I don't watch TV during the week but if I exercise 5x a week I can watch my TV shows that weekend.

Unit 1 Reflection

In this first unit of Anatomy and Physiology we started off learning the basics. We first learned the anatomical terms and then the basics of Anatomy/ Physiology learning the systems of our body and a basic of tissue types. We learned how a cell is composed and what each part of a cell and its function. Next we learned about Biological molecules and Histology. The first unit was really based on the basic understanding of how the anatomy fits into the physiology. 

The themes and essential understandings we understanding how to use the anatomical terms properly, being able to define where certain things are on the body. We learned in histology, which is the study of the tissue, how the structure fits its physiology. We learned about different types of tissues and how they work with other parts of our body. 

I learned so much through this unit. I learned how to properly define where something is on the body using the anatomical terms. I go a refreshing on how a cell is built. It was very interesting to learn about histology. I never knew what the tissues did and how they work with our body. 

There is nothing that I don't fully understand. I struggled with understanding everything with histology in determining the different types of tissues( the photos). 

For the next unit i think it wouldn't hurt to ask more questions when I first start to not understand what is going on. I could also spend a little more time studying before a test. 

A real world job that would relate to this unit would be physical therapy. A physical therapist needs to know a lot about anatomy and physiology because they are taking care of patients. They need to understand what the patients need in order to

Relate and Review on the Tissue Lab

There are 4 different tissue types we have learned about; Epthelial, Connective, Muscular and Nervous. But off those types of tissues are sub-tissue types. As you look at each type of tissue through a microscope you can determine what type of tissue it is and what sub-type the tissue is. For example, we looked at a tissue thats name was Aorta Human. Just by the name Aorta we can determine that the tissue type is located in the heart. The only type of tissue that is found in the heart is cardiac tissue. Cardiac tissue is the sub-tissue but the main tissue type is Muscular Tissue. Just by looking a the slide name or even the slide picture we can determine what time of tissue it was simple or strafed Epthelial. As i said before just by looking at the slide and the knowledge we received in notes it was easy to make the connection of the tissue type.
