It is important that we understand the changes our body goes through as we grow so that we can make nutritious food choices and maintain a healthy body.You have been asked to help the Freedman family determine the nutritional needs of each member of their family. The Freedman family consists of:Lara - 8 months oldSally - 2 years oldKaitlin - 8 years oldJeffrey – 14 years oldMichelle – 18 years old (pregnant)Margaret – 30 years old (lactating)Andrew – 32 years old (works in an office)Robert – 78 years old Each group will focus on one family member. You will need to determine which stage of the life cycle your person is currently in.As a group, develop a 2 page outline containing the following:A description of the changes their body is going throughAn outline of the factors that could be influencing their food habitsThe RDI’s (Recommended Daily Intakes) of the major nutrients required in their stage of the lifecycle - suggest food sources that will help your person meet their nutritional requirements.A one day meal plan that will help to meet the nutritional needs of your person (refer to the RDI to make sure you are getting the right nutrients).Your contribution to the group will be recorded on a log and is assessable.Each group’s pages will be combined to form a class book. You may choose what software to use when creating your pages. You may use text, images, graphs, keywords and important facts. Consider the layout and presentation of your work. Nutrition for Early Childhood (Sally)Factors that could be influencing their food habitsIn the early child hood of a girl the parents are in control of what she eats and are the ones that influence her with what she eats and the religion of the family may also be involved as some religions and cultures have strict rules on what they can and can’t eat. Recommended Daily IntakesCALORIE RECOMMENDATIONS2 years olds needs about half the calories that you need everyday. It is estimated 2 year olds need only about 1000 calories per day, which is about 40 calories per inch of their height each and everyday.Whole grainsA 2 year old needs 3 intakes of grains per day, the grains that is highly recommended are; oats, cereal, bread, rice or pasta.A slice of bread or half a cup of pasta is equal to one serving.Vegies and FruitsFruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals, which help the 2 year old to grow and keep them healthy, 2 year old need at least one cup of fruit and vegetables per day, a cup of fruits and vegetables is equal to a whole piece of fruit.Dairy and Protein2 year olds are supposed to have at least two cups of dairy per day e.g. one cup of milk, small cup of yogurt. 2 year old need to eat two servings of protein each day. Some foods included with protein are meat, egg, legumes, nuts or different types of seeds. Nutrition for Childhood (Kaitlin)Nutrition throughout the LifecycleKaitlin’s body is going through a few changes at this age. Her height and weight are one of the main changes she is going through. For normal growth she needs good nutrition and to have enough sleep, but most importantly regular exercise.The Factors influencing Kaitlins food habits would mostly be down to what her parents choose for her. There are only a few other main influences that could be included, these are: any allergens she may have, the vitamins needed for an 8 year old, like calcium, protein, iron and carbohydrates or her personal preference. Money could also be an influence in what her parents choose, but Kaitlin wouldn’t know the difference. BreakfastOats with milkSnacksRockmelon, Apple, Banana and a glass of Orange JuiceLunchChicken SandwichSnacksStrawberry YogurtDinnerFish with Legumes and Mixed VegetablesThroughout the day, Kaitlin should have a variety of nutrients and vitamins, as well as lots of water and exercise.

During adulthood, the body stops growing which means that we do not need as much carbohydrates. However, we need to maintain a health and nutritional diet to avoid health diseases such as:Anemia, osteoporosis, rickets, high blood pressure, high cholesterol.It is also important that energy intake by adults is not too high as it is very easy for adults to gain weight, especially for Andrew because due to his job, he does close to no exercise. Proper nutrition helps to ensure that your body stays healthy and that you do not experience any major health problems. Poor nutrition (which Andrew may be experiencing) can be defined as lack of essential vitamins or minerals or even an excess amount of unhealthy nutrients. Poor nutrition causes a lot of different health problems in both adults and children, which leaves Andrew at risk. Factors that are influencing Andrew’s food habits:*Andrew works in an office, this means that his food habits are really effected in many ways. Some of these factors include:Since Andrew spends his whole day working in an office, little time is provided to allow him to sustain a healthy and nutritional diet. Not enough time is allowed for Andrew to have a break and obtain healthy meals. This is turn affects his food habits and his diet dramatically as he purchases ready-to-go, unhealthy, and greasy foods.We can assume that Andrew is financially stable. This in turn means that he can afford to supply his family with nutritional meals that are full of vitamins and minerals.Since Andrew is located in an office, we can assume that he does not have many available healthy restaurants nearby to purchase nutritional foods. Being isolated in an office leaves little time to go and purchase healthier options rather than purchasing greasy foods from the office cafeteria. RDI table with food suggestions.

He needs to maintain bone health and keep his immune system healthy incase they catch a bug and to maintain the physical health of his body. He needs to maintain a healthy diet and constant light exercise such as lawn bowls or gardening , if he does not maintain this diet he will decline and may develop such diet related diseases such as diabetes or high cholesterol .Factors influencing Roberts Food HabitsPeople over the age of 55 are at risk of eating food that is not high nutrition. They often have finances that are limited, because at that age of 55+ the majority of people are not employed and are on a pension. Commonly foods that are high in nutritious are also high in price.They would also find it much more difficult to prepare nuritional foods because of problems later no in life such as arthritis and dementia.One Day Meal PlanBreakfast:Porridge with honey and banana With teaNutrients:Carbohydrates,VitaminsSnack: Fruit salad with watermelon, mandarin, Strawberries, rockmelon, orange and YogurtNutrients: Vitamins and Calcium.Lunch:Ham and salad sandwich with ham, lettuce,tomato,cheese and mayonnaiseNutrients:Protein, Minerals and CalciumSnack:Sao with Cheese and Tomato.Nutrients: Carbohydrates, Calcium , MineralsDinner: Minestrone Soup with bacon, lettuce, celery, carrot, Chicken and two pieces of wholemeal sourdough breadNutrients: Protein, Vitamins, Minerals, Iron,Carbohydrates Recommended Daily Intake for RobertProtein55gEnergy7400-1100 kjCalcium800 mgIron 7 mgMagnesium320 mgVitamin B1 0.9 mgVitamin C40 mgBiblographyWorkbook. ................
