Writing Exercise #5: What choices do you make in terms of food/nutrition/product use and consumption that may have an impact on your microbial communities? Consider choices that are intentional and choices that are perhaps non-intentional.

I do mostly eat anything that I can and do not take into consideration my nutrition. But, intentionally, I do eat a lot of proteins with my meals that may have an impact on my microbial communities. I do not intake a lot of sugars into my system. Sugars, overall, affect your microbiome negatively overall so it is a good thing that I do not consume much of them. I normally eat rice and protein with almost every meal that I have. But after taking this class for the past couple of weeks, I have learned how important it is to bring vegetables and fruits into my diet in order to develop more bacterial growth to replace the rapid bacterial death caused my proteins.
