Healthy Nutrition

Question 1

In this assignment, you will apply this knowledge toward the design of a program aimed at promoting healthy nutrition and preventing and/or treating childhood obesity in a setting of your choice. You will present a description of this program in a brochure aimed at parents.

To begin, choose a setting in which to implement this program (elementary school, after-school program, camp, youth group, day care, etc.). Then, consider the following:

• What are the goals of this program?
• What types of activities, instruction, or strategies will you implement as part of this program? Identify and describe at least three specific components.
• Why do you think this program will be effective?

Now, create an informative brochure that introduces this program to parents and includes responses to the three questions above. You can create your brochure as a Word, .PDF, or .PPT document. Be sure to integrate pictures, graphics, and formatting as you see fit.

Assignment length: 3–5 pages or 5–7 slides

Question 2

After you analyzed a 3-day diet (food & fluid) and activity record in part 1, and you summarized your findings in part 2, you will now provide recommendations for improvement of your diet in order to demonstrate your newly gained nutrition knowledge, problem solving (critical thinking) and written communication skills (SLO#1) utilizing scientific, peer-reviewed evidence (SLO#2).

• Part 3: After summarizing and analyzing your diet, you will identify at least 5 items(micro- or macronutrients; you may include 1 nutraceutical if you wish) to improve your nutrition intake according to current guidelines, and then formulate recommendations to promote nutritional health, optimize well-being, and disease prevention based on recent scientific evidence (from peer-reviewed journals cited in APA-format). Please use APA-format paragraph headings!
