Diet Related Diseases & Health Problems
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
DID YOU KNOW that today more
children and teens are developing health problems that were usually only seen
in the elderly?
DID YOU KNOW that nutrient
deficiency (the lack of nutrients obtained from food) or excess can cause one
to develop nutrient deficiency diseases that could lead to paralysis or
possibly death? What about food allergies?
WANT TO KNOW MORE? Enter the
world of diet and nutrition and learn baby learn!
Research shows that poor nutrition of a woman during pregnancy can harm the
health of her grandchild. Diet related diseases can result from an excess or a
deficiency of nutrients and heredity. What this means is your poor eating
habits as a teen can not only harm you but can also harm your children and
grandchildren. While completing the activities on this site you will gather
information about a specific diet related disease or food allergies and
organize your findings in the form of a newsletter, PowerPoint, brochure, or
web page for presentation to your fellow classmates. The presentation must
also include a summary of what each group member has learned and how they can
apply this new knowledge to their every day life.
