PERSONAL DIET ANALYSIS 2
DIET ANALYSIS
Introduction
Nutrition cannot be underestimated given the role that it plays in the overall quality of
life of an individual. Oral health for example, depends heavily on the types of food that people
eat every day. As such, it is important to always consider eating healthy foods because they
play a significant role on the quality of teeth and gums. Poor nutrition results to tooth cavities,
decay, and gum diseases. In fact, research has further shown that poor nutrition is also linked
to heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, and even giving birth to children with low weight. Too that
end, nutrition is very important in both dental and overall health of human beings. How people
become and behave is closely related to what they eat and how they eat their meals (ADA,
2021).
Food Group Serving Amounts
From the fruits group I eat at least three different fruits every day, while from vegetables
group I eat at least one serving of green fresh vegetables every day. I eat different categories
of grains ranging from rice to whole bread. For proteins, I eat at least meat once per week, peas
often, and little seafood (Gondivkor & Gadbail et al. 2019). Dairy group I only consume milk
once per week. based on Myplate results, I need to increase my intake in vegetables, dairy, and
proteins.
Scoring the Sweets
I have personally made a conscious decision to reduce the number of cariogenic foods
in my diet. For example, I only eat chips once per week, I prefer brown bread to white bread,
and I rarely eat sweets. The way forward for me is to keep my conscious decision on sweets
and just keep them to the minimum as it can get. I know how tempting sweet foods are and as
such, I would like to cut them from my diet by being disciplined.

Modifying Diet
My diet currently is not as bad. However, I need to increase my protein intake from one
serving per week to at least two servings per week. I need to diversify my green vegetables by
including other options such as red vegetables and increase my dairy intake from one serving
per week to three servings per week.
