Healthy Food
Introduction:
The definition to healthy food is quite vague considering the many definitions accustomed to it. To put it in simple terms according to my well understanding of the topic the healthy food is inclusive of all the essential nutrients that are necessary for the body. These nutrients consist of the proteins, lipids, vitamins, carbohydrates, calcium and iron and many others all these nutrients should be providing the body with at least 10%of their uses. Healthy food should also be hygienic and does not contain any harmful germs that could harm the body. To top up all this the healthy food should include sort of eatables that is the fruits, dairy, sweets, vegetables, meat and many others but all in the right proportions. People should avoid junk food and concentrate more on homemade food as contains a balanced diet hence healthy food and this might just keep one’s body fit and at its best.
Background
For decades there has been a stigma of healthy food. Not many people have ever really understood the healthy food. In the 20th to 21th century, the term "crazy" and "insane" came to mean mental disorder. Healthy food was very healthy before this century because people were eating healthy food more than now. Even families of healthy food tried to keep them eating a good food, but they used soda and chocolate at the same time. Some people judge out of ignorance on some food without correct information and reasons for that.
The general public has always found healthy food confusing because some people do not have much information about healthy food and how to use. It is a very important topic for people who care about them self. In addition, people who are not healthy have found various ways to punish people who are, even hiding them away. Some examples of what people might have thought of the healthy food are that they are: possessed, ungodly, witches, etc. I will admit that there are people who would gladly help people that do not care about healthy food, but the majority of people who just do not understand about excellent food is still a huge amount of the public. When people do not understand something that is where the judgment starts to take place.
The stigma on people who do not eat healthy food always greatly affected those who eat healthy food. It is my goal to bring attention to what the stigma of healthy food can do. Throughout my research, I have discovered that people who eat healthy food have a good energy. I think the public and the way they see these foods has a great impact on the way people are healthy. The three claims I will make on this subject are: First, there are ways to eat healthy for less expensive. Second, food awareness will lead to a healthy diet. Third, there are some healthy foods that are negative because the general people are uninformed on how to use.
I will talk why healthy food has such a negative stigma by some examples of how they are misunderstood by most of the general public. In addition, I want to talk about how healthy people usually do not see themselves that way. Finally, I will explain that the stigma also has a great negative effect on the people closest to the healthy food.
Keywords:
The "healthy food role": the healthy food role is a role that the general public places onto people who eat unhealthy food. This role basically states that if you do not care, it is your responsibility to seek help for it.
Madhouse: a psychiatric facility.
Stigmatized group: A group of people with a specific stereotype or label put on them.
Methods:
In order to conduct research on the stigma of unhealthy food, I read various different articles from ProQuest (a site that has scholarly peer reviewed articles). I did some research on Google for background history on healthy food and unhealthy food; in addition; I put a few questions in my annotation. I found a lot of information about my topic when I wanted searched for my next idea that came to mind based on my questions I had, that led me to many ways that affected the healthy food.
Completing the research on what I needed to understand is what helped me discover the claims. Moreover, I used annotation one to five and I have been looking for articles next to questions. They can be used in different ways to save the money and aid in people living healthy, for example; shopping methods and gaining knowledge.
In addition, they have to know about a healthy diet. Through this I ensured that I gave ways in which people could be made aware of the benefits of taking healthy foods. Through this advertising nutritionist can provide ways of living healthy and the kind of diets people should take. Also in accordance to the research the analysis is categorized in different ways stating poor eating habits and healthy eating habits and those that are recommended which is vividly described in my annotations.
Analysis:
1- There are ways to eat healthy for less expensive.
When people want to buy some healthy foods from a supermarket in Chico, there are cheaper, expensive, and many other shops that sell healthy foods. In addition, it was said, "Income grocery stores offer more healthy foods than low- income grocery stores" (Gloria and Steinhardt 1764). For example, people can go to Win Co, SFO, Food Max, Target, and others. All these stores use the WIC program because it is a good program in America. There are connections between WIC Program and Win Co Food and other stores. People have WIC program, which offers "healthy foods by the US Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)" (Andreyeva et al. 1024). WIC program gives some checks to people to buy some food. For example, WIC gives 6 and 10 dollars for vegetables; in addition, they give bread, beans, eggs, corn flakes, juice, and different types of milk. Moreover, WIC Program is helpful because it give much information about healthy food and other. People with WIC program pay less for many healthy foods. People combine these two ideas under one claim. People can buy some foods cheaper when they use coupons from the same stores. It was mentioned that" Clip coupons and sign up for a rewards card at your grocery store" ("Healthy Tip"1). There are many stores that give people some coupons for some foods for discount. In addition, they can take those coupons from newspapers and magazines. There are different coupons to use, for example, some coupons say you can take two big sodas and third one is free. In addition, sometimes they give coupons to discount one dollar when they buy some foods. Moreover, people in Chico can go to Cash and Carry because that store sells in bulk and it is a cheaper store and it sells wholesale. Its author advises that people "Buy foods cheaper in bulk" ("Healthy Tip"1).
2- Food awareness will lead to a healthy diet.
People who want to buy healthy foods have to understand more information about the environment. It said, "For some food categories, retailer ratings of customer demand differed for the healthier and unhealthy versions" (Andreyeva et al. 1027). There are many differences when you compare healthy and unhealthy foods. Moreover, there are many different places which sell good foods and bad foods. In addition, there are different kinds of soil and they are very important to grow trees because some trees need more care than others. The best soils for valid planting is soil medium, after that soil sand, then the clay soil fertile. People like to buy from farmer markets because they sell healthy foods from fruits and vegetables from local farms and other place. People have to know there is a relationship between the environment and health foods. If the environment is good, that means the food is good. People have to know there are many things to work on for good healthy food, one is environment and another is breastfeeding.
People who want a good life have to eat a balanced diet because it is helpful for many things. In addition, a balance diet is very important for people that have more energy and strength inside the human body. It was said, "You can feel good about including as part of a balanced diet" ("51 Healthy Foods"24). When someone wants to work a balanced diet, he has to eat many different kinds of food because the body needs different material. For example, I eat fruit, vegetables, meat, milk, egg, juice and other healthy foods. I have to make a good schedule of food. Some people go to some hospitals to ask some doctors about balanced diet because they want to know how to make balanced diets in their life.
The Ministry of Health should put some publications in hospitals, markets, and public places to spread awareness between people. There are many stores who sell food in the world, but we have to make healthy decisions in an experiment to see what people prefer to buy, "Retailers perceived lower customer demand for healthy v. unhealthy foods" (Andreyeva et al.1027). A mother who loves her children has to give them breastfeeding for two years. It is said, "More women have positive breastfeeding experiences" (Yap et al.24). This period is very important for children because breastfeeding strengthens bones and strengthens immunology inside children’s bodies. All children need breastfeeding because it is good nutrients. In addition, the WIC program gives mothers some checks to eat healthy foods when they breastfeed for their children. The milk inside mothers gives more nutrients and quality than normal milk. We have to know breastfeeding is best for children who receive more care. In addition, we must to know some important information about the milk that they cannot use milk with fish and medicine because that case big problem inside the body.
3-There are right, and wrong ways to eat food.
People have to know how to eat healthy foods and learn which way they have to use healthy food. There are different ways to save the food and to cook. Some people eat eggs without cooking them, it that means they are uncooked. When people do not cook eggs, it may cause on the store diseases to humans. Today, many people do not eat healthy food and they sometimes eat something that is expired that may cause then to die. Because people do not care about healthy food, we can see problems inside the bodies of humans. Expanded diseases in the world may be from unhealthy food which many people eat like soda and chocolate.
For example, eggs and milk cause allergic reactions to people and they affect very much on people who have eczema. The author said, "The definitive diagnosis of food allergy (FA) is generally based on oral food challenge tests (OFC)" (Sato 54). In addition, there are many people who go to the hospital to get some cream for allergies. Sato said, "Acquisition of food tolerance was diagnosed based on the results of OFCs or a convincing history of symptoms after food ingestion during the 6 months before or after sample collection" (Sato 54). Moreover, many doctors try to see good medicine for that problem.
People have to eat good food for growing up and be good, healthy children. People who want be healthy have to eat eggs and drink milk. For example, there are many different kinds of milk in this world. There is milk and formula milk. The kinds of formula milk are low fat, fat free, fat. Natural milk is better than formula milk because there is more protein inside. That is healthy for children because the breastfeed has more vitamins (C) and (D). Moreover, there are white and brown egg chickens. Today, chickens eat bad and good food that means people have to go to good farmers to see what chickens eat. Some farms give vaccinations for chickens to grow faster. That chicken is not healthy and it is sick. It was said, "These results provide evidences for the fetal programming effect of maternal nutrition in the chicken" (Rao 855). When chickens eat a good meal, the egg will be bigger than other eggs. Pregnant mothers should eat eggs because it is rich in protein, which helps in the newborn period and beyond. It was said, "Maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and/or lactation exerts long-term effects on fetal development and postnatal growth, and may predispose offspring to metabolic diseases later in life" (Rao 848).
I think all resources public are good for people who care about healthy food. In addition, there are some holes in my essay and I have to focus about that maybe next time. I have to describe more for my audience takes more information about healthy food. Today I should like to persuade my audience to stop consuming fast food, soda, and formula milk for children. There are a different set of classes in the communities that teach more and more about the healthy food. For example, doctors and nurses should be familiar with the types of healthy foods that are given to the patients, and families must know about nutrition inside food if it is healthy or no because they give food to their children. In addition, there are many persons who benefit when they read my research. For example, my family, friends, hospitals, young children, and aware people benefit to learn about nutrition inside food. They can use different ways to save the money and be healthy. In addition, the companies work milk they put little vitamin inside the milk for example only vitamin C and D. People know that they will eventually step into the companies to purchase the formula milk. Moreover, we have to know most stores they work for business service because they want to earn money and renown in their area. All these points are very important for most people.
Discussion:
People suffer harshly from unhealthy food because it is not helpful. Moreover, it causes many problems to the body human. Many people see the unhealthy food as clean, bizarre, and not dangerous and this stigma makes life much more difficult for some people. The diagnostic also affects those close to the healthy food. Parents, family, and friends all are trying to eat healthy food, but they mix that with unhealthy food. The diagnostic of healthy food makes people feel more comfortable in them; moreover, people want proof when we speak about unhealthy food. Some people maybe do not believe what I say about unhealthy food. We can answer those people to go to dental doctors because doctors have much information about healthy and not healthy food. The reason for this stigma is healthy food is misunderstood. Many people see the problems from unhealthy food, but they do not care about that. In fact, we can see many people go to dental to fix the teeth because we eat wrong food. ("51 Healthy Foods"24)
To avoid these unhealthy food people have to adhere to the advices from our nutritionist and most of all they should take advantage of the fact there are cheap food being sold in the markets and the availability of coupons. Through these coupon people get healthy food at a cheaper price which is a good way to invest in a healthy lifestyle. In addition to this knowing your environment helps since you know what types of foods to take and which vendors you should not associate yourself with.
Another way to avoid unhealthy food is through advertising. This can be done in several ways which is through posters in the hospitals and also through banners on the streets on allowed posters areas. Advertising can also be done on televisions where the nutritionist comes and at times shows are held for the particular help to people. This knowledge help people as they will be having ideas on what to take rather than just going in to the markets and purchasing food just because it is attractive. Following a healthy diet will help one in making sure that they stay in good health in a long time since healthiness creates higher immune system. (Andreyeva et al. 1027).
