Task 3 D1 – Justify how the two-day diet plan meets the dietary needs of the two service users Rickets in a 4 year old boy Rickets is a bone disease that affects infants and young children. The child’s growing bones fail to develop properly due to a lack of vitamin D. This can result in soft and weakened bones, fractures, bone and muscle pain, and can result in deformities. A two day diet plan for a four year old boy with rickets was done with the hope of strengthening his bones as he was lacking vitamin D and showing signs of having rickets since birth as he has bow legs. This could have developed when his mother was pregnant with him, due to the fact that her diet did not consist of enough vitamin D. As diet is very important in preventing this disease from getting worse and treating it, adding a lot of the right nutrient in his daily meal helps. His body needs calcium and phosphorus for growth and development.
At first glance, the diet seems fairly easy and harmless, but it has some negative aspects. First, most baby food is meant for infants from six months to one year of age. Thus, it lacks proper amounts of protein and other essential nutrients necessary for older ages. Most baby foods lack fiber, calcium, and vitamin D in quantities needed by adults. Fiber is important for reducing the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering the risk of several forms of cancer.
People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day to function without being sick. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children and young adults, but can also appear in older adults. Type 2 diabetes the level of insulin can be low, normal, or high. The problem here is that the body does not response properly to insulin it becomes partially unaffected to the effects of insulin. Your body may make some insulin but not enough.
They say ever since she has wanted healthier food in schools they started serving foods that do not look edible and gross. Many programs are trying to make healthier school lunches because it is the main cause for child obesity. The school lunches are super unhealthy for the kids because they have a lot of sodium, fat, and sugar. Schools should cut down on all the sweets they give the children also because that cause a lot of health problems. One of the main things schools need to do is to stop adding so much salt on to the meals because salt is super unhealthy.
Our bodies can only store and utilize so much sugar so we need to be aware if we are overloading our bodies with it. If our blood glucose levels begin to fall we will feel dizzy or lightheaded signaling that we need to eat to maintain this balance. It also important to recognize in my family’s case that eating too much sugar can also make us feel tired because our cells are not getting the proper nourishment from glucose. By using the knowledge I have learned from the importance of maintaining a good blood glucose balance I can teach myself, my mother, and my daughters on the importance of a proper
Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan SCI/241 Keeping a healthy diet and exercise is important for our overall health in our lives. Getting a balanced diet can ensure that we get the vitamins that we need, as well as maintain a healthy weight along with exercise, which can also ensure that we have healthy organs.

I have been vulnerable to being anemic. Anemia is when the body is producing a low level of red blood cells.
For many people, solutions to weight gain will be found both in new dietary behaviors and in medicines that come from labs where researchers study how the body burns and stores fat. To the extent that obesity is the result of a child’s inability to say “no” to a supersized meal, we should teach restraint just as Critser advises. But his behavioral fix will not work for everyone, and parents should be instructed on what to do when teaching restraint, alone, fails to keep their children reasonably trim. A more serious problem with Critser’s argument 5 is his use (twice) of the word “gluttony” and the judgmental attitude it implies. Early in the essay Critser argues that American parents need “to promulgate .
Children’s bodies are still growing and their brains are still developing, so it is critical that we make sure they are getting the nutrition that they need and develop healthy habits now. For the first time in history we have a generation of kids that are less likely to have a lifespan as long as their parents. They face higher instances of obesity, diabetes and heart disease and even learning disabilities, due to improper nutrition. We are literally filling them with poisonous chemicals and food devoid of real nutritional value. We are filling their bellies, but starving their bodies.
Diabetes Abstract Type two Diabetes is a disease that is commonly seen in people who are obese and live a sedentary lifestyle. It usually develops in adulthood and can be prevented by changes in habits such as a healthy diet and exercise. In Diabetes type two, the pancreas makes insulin, but the body’s cells become resistant to the effects of it. Insulin tells the body’s cells to take in glucose that they in turn use for energy. If a person develops type two Diabetes, it can be controlled using a combination of exercising, eating healthier, oral medications, and insulin therapy.
