NUTR 100 Week 7
Discussion 2
Week
7 Topic 2
Assigned to this
topic: Tristin, Terry, Luis, Sekoya, Fatima, Heather, Matthew, Tiffany, Harvey
(If you made your initial post on this topic you should make you
comments to classmates under topics 1 and 3.)
Let's talk about "Nutrition and Your
Health". Besides the assigned text (section 14.6) you should review
other documents to support this discussion. For example, the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans make a nice complement to this section of the textbook
(hint, this is probably the easiest place to find a correct answer).
Name one food (group/category) or nutrient
that should be reduced in the typical American diet and one food
(group/category) or nutrient that should be increased by most Americans in their
diets. What are the health risks or concerns with consuming too much of the
nutrient or food you selected for reducing? What are the health risks or
concerns with consuming too little of the nutrient or food you selected for
increasing?
Now think about your own diet. Are
you currently in need of reducing this food (group/category) or nutrient in
your diet? What about the food or nutrient that you suggested should be
increased (do you think you need to increase this in your diet)?
