During the Falcon Market lab, we learned a lot about the foods we eat. We learned that a lot of the foods people eat are either really sugary, or have little nutritional values, for example, frosted flakes have 21g of sugar. Vegetables and fruits are a lot more beneficial when they are in season, they are less expensive, more nutritious and show a good variety. We learned about glycemic index, a high glycemic index causes higher and more rabid increase in blood sugar level. The body has to respond by sending more insulin, which causes wear and tear on your pancreas and fat storage. The lab showed us that when were eating our priorities are Protein, fruits and vegetables, and then healthy fats. The food tracker showed me that I wasn't eating enough protein and oils, so to improve that I should eat more fish or eggs. It also showed me that I have to much sodium in my diet, which could be improved by eating less salty things. If I were to coach someone on health and nutrition I would tell them to make sure their empty calories intake was limited, to make sure they eat enough seafood and to make sure they maintain the five pillars of health.
