The other assignment for my nutrition class that is for my nutrition class as well that I also want you to do is the following: One of the stated goals for this course is to develop educated consumers of nutrition information. This is especially important for the vast amount of information about nutrition and health on the internet, since anyone can put up anything and pass it off as legitimate, authenticated, accurate information. Distinguishing between fact and fiction, exaggeration and misrepresentation, and authentic and useful nutrition products and scams requires critical thinking and analysis. Learning to think critically about nutrition research is another important goal. For example, we hear that we should be drinking wine every day to benefit our hearts. Does the research really say that? Should we all start drinking wine to help prevent cardiovascular disease? The rubric for grading this forum is the last item on this page. Refer to it before writing your threads. Directions for the Informed Consumer Forum? Step 1:  Do a websearch for a nutrition- or food-related product that claims to have health benefits such as preventing cancer, curing psoriasis, losing weight, etc. etc.  In your discussion, explain what gave the scam away – why you felt the site and its advertised product lacks authenticity or fails to provide a scientific basis for its claims. Note:  Strategies for evaluating nutrition misinformation and quackery are given in the article “How to Spot Nutrition Misinformation on the Web” (linked below), as well as in your text, pages 25-30.  Step 2: Now find another product or food-related product that you feel makes claims that are authentic or are based on scientific research. Compare it with the one in Step 1, using the same criteria. To find a reputable site, you can use the resources listed on the first page of the our Course Content section.  Note: Be sure to include the URL for both sites so that we can review them as well. Step 3:  Write your thread comparing the products directly on the Nutrition Quackery Forum using the link provided below. Remember that to get full credit for your post, you must have two products to compare: one  with fraudulent claims or misinformation, and one supported by scientific research from a credible source. Your discussion should clearly state differentiate between the two.  Complete URLs for both sites must be provided.

Nutrition plays a vital role in a person’s overall health and well-being. Not getting enough of the recommended nutrients over the long-term can lead to malnutrition which often results in disease and illness. In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following: Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it. Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a person’s body.  Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person’s chance of contracting the disease? Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease? How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease? Evaluate nutritional recommendations to help combat the disease. Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References page. For information about the impact of diseases on body systems and assessing the credibility of resources, consult the resources below.

Nutrition plays an essential role in supporting fitness and exercise. If you increase your level of physical activity, your need for nutrients and calories will also increase. In addition, the foods you eat before and after you exercise will have an impact on your performance during the physical activity and on your recovery afterward.

Describe the importance of pre- and post-exercise nutrition choices. Provide examples of foods that are appropriate selections for each category. 2. Explain how foods and nutrients (including fluids and electrolytes) help improve a person’s performance during physical activity and their recovery afterward. 3. Consider your responses to items 1 and 2 above, and suggest an appropriate nutritional plan for a physically active person. Be sure to explain what the person should consume in an average day to support their caloric and nutritional needs. 4.
