A.
After studying nutrition science, you should be knowledgeable about
nutrition guidelines and how nutrition can affect health.
Please demonstrate what you have learned by explaining the
following:
Using terms and concepts that you
have learned in this course, examine 8 aspects of your own diet,
and explain any changes you may or may not make. For full credit,
support each of your 8 choices with facts from the readings. (For
example, currently, I rarely eat any nuts. So, I will start eating
one ounce of nuts a day because it will improve my cholesterol
level, which will reduce my risk for heart disease. Note: you may
not use this example.) [32 points]
B.
Explain how nutrients affect disease prevention and management.
Make your answer specific with examples. Link the nutrient or
nutrients you discuss to a condition. (For example, vitamin C
deficiency is linked to scurvy. Note: you may not use this
example). For full credit, you must provide at least three examples
of how nutrient levels can be related to disease prevention and
management. [18 points]
