Overview
- Healthy Habits and Areas of Improvement. Review your Diet and Wellness reports and reference the previous assignments including Blood Glucose, Blood Lipids, and Iron Lab.
- List five healthy habits and five areas of improvements (total of ten) in the way you currently eat, based on data from the Diet and Wellness reports (or your sample client report), then elaborate on each of the responses. (20points)
- If you do not have five in each group (healthy habits / areas of improvement), make sure the total is still 10.
- Something such as “I eat good carbs” is not adequate or detailed enough.
- Areas of improvement can include things such as nutrient deficiencies (below what is required in the DRI), imbalance of food groups in the MyPlate, or overconsumption of certain nutrients.
- This is not designed to make people feel bad about eating habits. It is to create awareness and reflection in what deficiencies may be there, or ways in which to improve.
- Each healthy habit and area of improvement should include at least one to two sentences, including the rationale for each.
- Grading will be based on two points for each: 1 pt for accuracy and 1 pt for specificity for the rationale. The rationale should include evidence from the textbook for this course, Understanding Nutrition.
Required format: Create a table or enumerated list with numbers 1-5 for Strengths and 1-5 for Areas of Improvement. List the ideas below each in a clear and succinct manner (deduction of 5 points if table/list is missing).
