Question 57 14 / 32 points

Please leave space between each of the three answers and label with the corresponding letter: A, B, or C.

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 10 aspects of your own diet, and explain any changes you may or may not make. For full credit, support each of your 10 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.) [20 points]

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. [12 points]

Have fun with this question! This is really just your way of showing me what you have learned this semester and what

you will take away from this course.

Extra Credit: 2 points

B. What was the most useful thing you learned from this class?

Extra Credit: 2 points

C. What was the most interesting thing you learned from this class?

A1. I would change my diet by cutting down my added sugars intake by replacing cinnamon toast crunch with cherries.

Consuming too much sugars and starches would potentially lead me down the path to hypoglycemia. I would also increase my fiber intake by switching white break with whole grain wheat bread. Get my fruits from a farm and not from a can and shop at farmers markets instead of grocery stores for quality non gmo food. I would replace my added sugars by eating granola bars instead of ice cream and reduce my risks of high cholesterol by swapping whole milk to almond milk or soy. I will fry my eggs in olive oil instead of butter and swap out potato chips for healthier snacks like trail mix.Finally, I’ll use fat free condiments instead of regular and drink more water while cutting out the soda’s.

A2. A vitamin D deficiency is seen in children can lead to Rickets. Beriberi is a disease caused by a thiamine deficiency.

A vitamin K deficiency can result in hemorrhaging and/or problematic blood clotting.

B. The most useful thing I learned in this class was how to use the choosemyplate.gov site. This was my first time hearing about it and now I can use it with my wife to get us on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

C. The most interesting thing I learned was during the discussion week about vitamins and their deficiencies. My vitamin was vitamin K and I didn’t know that it could cause your blood to not clot. I wish I could type more but I’m almost out of time. Great class!
