4 and legumes, which contain high amounts of potassium (National Institutes of Health). In attempts to continually improve micronutrient intake, I will plan to continue to use food tracking apps to identify which areas I am under consuming. This way, I am able to acknowledge which foods I am regularly under consuming. From there, I am able to incorporate foods that contain high amounts of that specific micronutrient. For instance, since I am lacking iron, I may consider increasing my serving portions of beef at diner since it contains heme iron. This plan will be effective in the long run because it will hold be accountable and allow me to see what nutrients I am lacking. In addition, to increase the amount of phytochemicals I am consuming, I should consider increasing plants such as vegetables or fruits.

Therefore, increasing the consumption of these will increase my phytochemical consumption. Furthermore, water is an essential and critical component of the diet. My technique for drinking enough water is filling my water bottle and drinking bout three to four of them a day. To continually improve my water intake, I may set reminders to drink water. Sometimes when the day gets hectic, I may forget to drink water, however, having certain times to ensure I am drinking water will help me stay hydrated.
