Order Description
A balanced diet, along with at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 3 times per week, is essential to health. This includes eating a balance of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids,
and protein from all of the main food groups. But, accomplishing this is easier said than done in a busy world full of non-nutritious convenience foods. The presence of temptation can overpower
even the most health conscious consumer. Check your diet against the recommendations for your age, life stage, and activity level and see how your diet stacks up.
The outcomes to be assessed in this activity are:

Compare dietary guideline recommendations for various food groups to your own diet
Evaluate a patient’s diet and discuss the impact it has on the systems of the body
