This is a 2 part assignment. The 1st part is to read the material and then write the initial discussion post. The 2nd part is to write a short reply to 3 classmates posts. Once the initial post is completed I will post here 3 other classmates posts for you to write a short reply to. There is no minimum word count for the post and replies but they must be thorough and complete.
** THE INITIAL POST MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 24 HOURS **
Assignment: The human body requires fuel for growth and development. Macro and micronutrients are essential fuels for maintaining a healthy diet. There are a number of people on diets to control weight, but may not be considering the health benefits of the particular diet. Consider the following diets below and indicate how the diet is nutritionally unsound (if it is) and why it would be easy or difficult to follow.
Diet Z: for the first ten days only fruit is eaten. On day ten, you can eat a bagel and butter, and then only fruit until day 19, when you can eat steak or lobster. The cycle repeats, adding more meat. This diet is based on “conscious combining” – the idea that eating certain combinations of foods leads to weight loss.
Diet R: maintains eating foods rich in nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) can prolong life, since these are the genetic materials. Recommended foods include sardines, salmon, calves’ liver, lentils and beets.
