    Through taking nutrition and biology courses, I acquired a deeper understanding on cases of diet-related diseases, which trains my alertness on what diseases and eating habits are interrelated. These courses have helped me to build a foundation for dietetics, which is essential to understand why a patient get sick and find out solutions to help them.

    Blanching: Blanching is the plunging of a food item into boiling water for a very short time period, before removing it and transferring it to cold or icy water. The cold water stops the cooking process. Blanching can remove the bitter taste from some vegetables and can also enhance their colour, making them more appealing. The application of very high heat will kill many micro-organisms and will also soften the tough fibres in vegetables.…

    My interest in nutrition began while in high school when I committed myself to improving my athletic performance in cross country running. Fortunately, I grew up in a family that understood the benefits of a balanced diet and was able to take away the importance that fruits and vegetables play in the body. As this interest grew I decided to pursue a degree at Montana State University and am currently planning on furthering my education after graduating. When I have acquired the necessary knowledge, I plan on returning to my home Alaska, and working towards increasing the accessibility and awareness of the importance of a balanced diet. I’m highly motivated to better my home state in a field that both fascinates…

    Reflection of Nutrition

    • 298 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I have truly enjoyed every facet of this course. I feel that this course has taught me a tremendous amount pertaining to nutrition; the things I have learned were ones in which I never thought would be so essential. This is the first course in which I can say that I really enjoyed working on the assignments. I feel the most beneficial one was the Lifespan Nutritional Needs assignment. Even though it took a long time to complete, it showed me the significance of nutrition within my life (when I was younger, presently, and when I get older). I used to consider the area of nutrition to be somewhat dull, although now that I am aware of its significance, I perceive it much differently. I also feel more comfortable about my lifestyle now that I have incorporated much healthier eating habits. The other assignments were also valuable and I enjoyed completing them as well. The discussion questions were especially valuable, as I was able to gain further insight from both the professor and my classmates; these insights will stay with me for years to come.…

    The definition of nutrition has been changing with in past years. Many people might think that nutrition is only what is being eaten in human life and others would think of it as human health. Although the meaning is not only what is being eat or the health, nutrition is actually described as "biological, social and environmental dimensions together"(p.697,Beauman, C, 2005, September). Myself, I always thought of it as what I eat and did not consider it as part of my health until I entered university and start studying the definition of health. At some points in life my point of view changed, and this in turn changed my habits. It is important whether these changes are positive or negative. Generally, in society, eating habits have been changing in a…
