Healthy Habits in Food Consumption. A good quality diet is essential in having stable health and improved physical conditions. In a bid to improve healthy lifestyles, most people have taken into the consumption of vegetables and fruits, which have earned them the vegan title. The initiative to go healthy has inspired the need to re-evaluate and find the appropriate food products to incorporate into my diet. In the first place, I would like to adopt the art of taking vegetables and fruits. Most vegetables like spinach, green peas, and spaghetti squash are rich in filling fiber, a nutrient that reduces the constant need to take in junk and fast foods.

Daniel book report The Daniel fast is based on stories found in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament between chapter one and chapter ten. In the first chapter, the prophet Daniel resolved to abstain from eating meat, bread, and wine for ten days (The Expositor’s Study Bible).In the tenth chapter, Daniel fasted for 21 days. During this period, he ate pulses, which is anything with seeds. The only beverage Daniel took was water.

Dietary Analysis My body composition analysis showed that I have a BMI of 18.3 against the normal average of 18.5. I have a height of 5.2ft and a weight of 100lb. The BMI is below average, which means there is a need for me to add weight to improve my scores. However, I was not surprised to receive this score because I tend to fall short in a healthy composition diet. Also, my activity level is sedentary, which means I have failed in making positive activity levels. Although my life, I have not put a lot of weight worthy of being considered obese, I have not been a sporty person. I have not taken part in sports, which explains my BMI score below the average rating. Three components are making up an energy balance that is energy equilibrium, positive energy balance, and negative energy balance. The balance is defined as the correlation between the number of calories gained through the consumption of particular food and beverages and the number of calories used in physical exercises and activities. In my opinion,…

There are three ideas from the story, and one gets about Daniel from Courageous Faith. The young man who was held hostage were required to give up their beliefs and learn about Babylon beliefs. There were even instructors that were assigned for teaching them language and literature of the Babylonian culture.

Some of them were able to compromise, but others found it hard hence they had to face executions which were a daily occurrence. Therefore, these teenagers were held as prisoners of war, and they were aware, and they chose to be royal hostages. Additionally, from these…
