-Healthy Plate
A healthy plate should include a colorful variety of fruits, a lot of vegetables, healthy oils (ex. olive and canola oil) for cooking, healthy protein (ex. fish, poultry, beans, and nuts), whole grains, and plenty of water. Also when choosing a healthy meal, we should avoid processed or refined ingredients.
Our menu, Hwachae, has included plenty of fruits like watermelon, blueberry, shine muscat, dragonfruit, and passionfruit. In addition we have a good amount of healthy protein in the milk.
-Learning Through Master Chef
When I was working on my Master Chef project, I think I succeeded in the visuals and the taste of the food, but I think I could improve on the presentation of the explaining the micro and macro nutrients of the food and using all healthy ingredients like strawberry milk. I used the knowledge of creating a healthy plate above to try make a healthy snack.
-Ethical Global Citizenship
In my current diet, there’s a lot of beef or pork, eggs, and tofu. The beef has a high impact, and the pork and eggs have a mild impact, and tofu has a low impact. Including beef might not be the best choice, so in the future I’d better try other healthy proteins like beans more.
-Habits & Goal Setting
The Habit Loop is a chain of reactions through unhealthy behaviors. For example, eating processed food causes the brain to be addicted to the strong sense by the food. This makes the brain to feel a strong want for the processed food. It will keep on cycling and cause your body to be healthy. I think I should create a healthy Habit Loop to keep my body healthy. My goal for this year will be eating at least 2 kinds of vegetables per meal everyday. This can help me gain healthy vitamins. These are my steps to my goal: step 1) Choose an appropriate menu that includes a healthy choice of ingredients. step 2) Look for another snack to go along with your healthy plate that includes at least 1 vegetable. step 3) Don’t be a picky eater and finish all the food.
