Reflections on Food and Nutrition PT

From this PT, I learnt that my eating habits can still be healthier, as it is currently too high in sodium and fats. By using the tools I discover that my diet is not as healthy as I thought and some changes have to be made.  Though I still regard my diet as a relatively healthy one, I determine to make improvements to my diet so as to enhance my health.

The suggested tools are useful in that they provide meticulous details and give very sound advices on how to maintain health; however, the tools only allow us to choose from the options of foods that they already have. Thus, what we analyse is not so much our real diet but only the closest options provided. Also, there could have been clarifications on how much a serving is, because the public would not be measuring in grams each food that they eat. The requirements for health, as the tools present, is also too high, as I personally feel. It seems hard to achieve the denoted healthiness without going through a very rigorous vegetarian diet. Still, the intention of the tools is good, and they succeed in their purpose of informing us more about our diet.

The reasons why my suggested one dish meal is healthy are presented under the post about the dish. In summary, my one dish meal is healthy because it provides a wide range of balanced nutrients, it follows the health pyramid, it contains healthy ingredients and is cooked using healthy methods.
