Module #4

In this module we looked at chapters 4, 5, and 6 in regards to physical fitness, health, and weight and body image. I learned about things like saturated and unsaturated fats, proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients needed for the body. I learned in our textbook on page 88 that the proper amount of calories is crucial to maintaining a healthy weight and eating more or less can help you gain or loose weight when needed.
I related to chapter 4, Nutrition and You, the most because i take health very seriously. Eating the right foods and getting the proper amount of exercise is important to leading a healthy life. By reading these 3 chapters and participating in the discussions i learned more about GMO's and their effects on crops, the health of people who consume GMO's and the economy as well.
Things i could change in my diet to lead a healthier lifestyle is to stop eating cereal late at night before bed. Just by listening to my body i know that eating cereal before bed is not a good idea. I learned on page 81 of our textbook that adult women must drink at least 9 cups of water a day. I definitely drink much less than this and should alter my lifestyle so i drink the more water daily.

So far in this semester i think i have improved my discussions but i need to work on my quiz grades. I definitely must study harder before taking a quiz. I understand why i got my grades. My discussion grade has improved in this module from what it was in the previous two, that is how i know my participation in discussions have improved.
