Blog #16: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

(1) Instead of it being my last independent component I decided to change it to my second independent component now that I learned most of what I need to know on what I can eat and what I can't. I have decided that I am going to on a diet. Now I know that I am going to stay away from processed food, foods with plenty of oils and sugars, and even though I don't want to give up meat and dairy, I am going to cut down my meat portions.

(2) I will meet this requirement because being on a diet is a 24/7 thing. I will right on a food journal exactly what I have eaten, in fact I have already started on it.

(3) This relates to my EQ which is, "What is the best way to achieve a nutritionally healthy lifestyle?" because it is my ultimate goal for what I want to get in my senior project. I want to be able to change my diet successfully so that my lifestyle is nutritionally healthy.

Literal

a. “I, Phoebe Luong, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.”

b. I spent my hours at Silverado helping the head chef cook dinner and desert, and also helping the senior citizens cook at the two other kitchens found in the buildings. I also shadowed Jennifer at Kaiser for extra hours.

Interpretive

At the senior home I was able to help out in the kitchen with the head chef Linda. I learned a lot from her because while I was helping her I was able to ask questions like, which one is healthier? I learned the different diets senior citizens eat. Some have specific diets if they have medical problems, some had to eat their food mushed up, and some would eat the things from the norm. I also learned how to cook healthier meals, having completely no experience before which will help me with my future independent component (going on a diet). I learned how to sugar could be substituted and how vegetables could be incorporated into most meals, ect. At the Kaiser Mental Health Center, I learned about specific diets are needed to serve patients with different medical problems. Even though I was not able to talk to patients or go behind the kitchen while they were working because of the privacy issues and risks (being that it is a mental health center), I still learned a lot by asking a lot of questions.

Applied

This relates to my essential question because I learned about the different diets there are and how they are healthy. Mostly, I learned about how to eat healthy if someone has diabetes or low cholesterol. For a patient with diabetes, I learned that they are not allowed to have any fried food, no sugar (if they do eat sugar it has to be a substitute), nothing too salty, no soda, milk is only allowed once a day (non-fat), and they must eat in limited portions. I also saw that there was a different way of cooking the food so that it could be more healthy for the patient for example, if the patient with diabetes wanted fish, it would have to be steamed instead of fried. A patient with low cholesterol would only be able to drink 2% milk, defiantly nothing fattening (oil, fat), and they must in in small portions. After learning about these different diets and how they are healthy comparing to the food I eat, I am closer to creating a healthy diet plan for myself, which is my essential question.

Blog #13: Answer 1

1. Answer one to my essential question is to education yourself. I feel like nothing can be done to about changing a diet without having any education on what is healthy and what isn't. This is the first step to forming a healthy diet. I feel like it is essential to learn about nutrition labels and what kind of advertisements are lies.

2. Foods with false advertisements, like when it exaggerates the fact that there is fiber so they put "high in fiber!" on their box, even though it's not completely true. My book also tells me that not everything in nutrition labels are completely true.

3. Two books I find really helpful are "What are you Really Eating?" by Amanda Ursell and "Eating for Life" by Bill Phillips. I also want to read "The China Study" I read an interview with the author and found that this book would contain a lot of information I still need to know.

Blog #12: Service Learning

1. I was working at the Silverado Senior Home, but the person I was working with (Linda) is no longer working there.

2. You can call the Silverado Senior Home. The phone number is (626) 812-9777. I don't know who you can talk to since Linda left, but another person who has been helping me with my hours is Dottie, who recruits the volunteers so you can ask for her.

3. I helped in the kitchen, she taught me how to bake cookies and she was explaining why we need certain ingredients and what was in them. I also watched her staff cook dinner for the residents. There would be a variety of different diets because some had to have their food cut up into pieces, some would have to be mashed, and some could be normal. I also learned how to cook while working with the senior citizens.

4. I believe I have more than 10 hours as of now, but I will verify exactly when I get my paper signed. This is because recently, my service learning person doesn't work there anymore, and I didn't know anything until I called in to tell her I was going to come in that day.

EXTRA: For my service learning I am going to call and visit Weight Watchers, or maybe another hospital. I am hoping to work in Kaiser with the nutrition lady through Ogden.
