Tracing of my 3-day diet

Over three days(14th-16th Pebruary), I recorded my meals and calculated the nutrient composition of them. Here are the results(inclusive of three basic meals, snacks, teas etc):



I apologize for the unclear pictures): Blogger refuses to let me post a graph): I am deeply sorry, whomever you are, trying to view this, I am afraid you will have to click on the picture and then magnify it): I really am sorry):

I really like to indulge myself in "sinful" food but because of Food & Nutrition classes, I am slightly more health concious. The examples of over-eating or anorexic tendencies have made me very scared.

Over-eating can cause obesity, or even in worst-case scenarios, cardiological diseases that can lead to haert failure and death. This is due to excess fat that clogs up our bloodstreams. Also, excess sodium can cause hypertension, or high blood pressure, that also increases the chances of stroke and heart attacks. Many people nowadays over-eat very easily. This can be due to the wide variety of delicious foods we have available easily. Others who suffer from depression also like to eat to reduce their stress, thus over time, they become overweight and unhealthy.



Under-eating is also quite common in today's society, due to the stereotyped view that slim and skinny people are the most attractve. This is not so, as having a bit of flesh will not kill you, moreover it will give you a heathier and more vibrant look. Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, are caused by under-eating or not eating at all. These diseases will cause harm to the body and may lead to organ failure as the body does not have enough nutrition or energy that comes from our food intake.



Thus, from these examples, we can see how important having a balanced diet is. Staying healthy is the key to having a healthy and fufilled life.

My name is Valerie Lim from class 203. This blog is for my Eood and Nutrition Performance Task. I really love food, so like my blog name, I emphasise on "Indulgence is not a Sin"! I am not emo like in the picture beside. I am perfectly cheerful and normal and I like dolphins -.-
