Document Content and Description Below

1. Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. T. Colin Campbell have conducted research and published books that suggest a "Whole Food Plant-Based" (WFPB) diet is best for achieving optimal health. Others, such as Dr. R... obert Atkins, Dr. Loren Cordain, and Dr. Robert Lustig, have advocated very different positions, with less emphasis on carbohydrates (plant-based foods) and greater emphasis on protein and fat (animal foods). 1. Name a work (book or article) associated with either Dr. Ornish or Dr. Campbell. It can be an article that was written about either author. Include a quote from the author that summarizes his opinions. 2. Name a work (book or article) associated with Dr. Atkins, Dr. Cordain, or Dr. Lustig. It can be an article that was written about one of the authors. Include a quote from the author that summarizes his opinions. 3. Compare and contrast the authors' positions. 4. Explain the scientific basis of each author's position. 5. Indicate whether you agree with one or both researchers or have a different opinion. Explain your rationale. (15 points) 2. Based on what you have learned in these studies, identify three guidelines for achieving optimal health. Then describe three barriers to practicing these behaviors. Use the table to guide your response. (6 points) Healthful behaviors Barriers to healthful behaviors Mental health Physical health Physical fitness 3. Name a commonly underconsumed nutrient. Then describe a long-term consequence of poor diet. Identify two additional aspects of an unhealthful lifestyle that do not involve nutrition. Explain the long-term consequences of each. (6 points) A commonly underconsumed nutrient is Calcium. Calcium is found in dairy products, such as milk or yogurt. A long-term consequence would be weak and fragile bones. This then could lead to bone disease. Two additional aspects of an unhealthy lifestyle is lack of motivation and being sedentary. If you lack motivation to participate in physical activities and are sedentary, you could face the consequence of obesity. 4. School policy can influence healthful or unhealthful eating and physical activity levels. But the ways that school policy can do this is debatable. You are going to take a stance on the best ways that school policy can influence the health of students. This question has two options for completion. Use option 1 if you have peers available for an in-person or online debate. Use option 2 if you cannot debate a peer. If unsure which option to choose, please check with your teacher. Option 1: Peer-to-peer debate Work with your teacher to schedule an online or in-person debate with another student. Debate ways that school policy can influence healthful or unhealthful eating and physical activity levels. Come to the debate prepared. Read and research material relevant to the debate topic. You will need to cite at least three sources at the conclusion of the debate. During the debate, you should use your research to support your ideas, pose questions to your opponent, and respond to questions. In addition, be sure to clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions. At the conclusion of your debate: 1. Cite at least three research sources you used to prepare for the debate. http://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/topics/healthy-eating/food-schools https://www.fns.usda.gov/school-meals/nutrition-standards-school-meals https://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/npao/strategies.htm 2. Summarize three points of agreement and three points of disagreement between you and 3. What do you think are the best ways school policy can influence healthful or unhealthful eating and physical activity levels? Describe two policy recommendations that could reasonably be put in place. Focus on recommendations that would impact the most people. Include one recommendation for nutrition and one recommendation for physical activity. (13 points) [Show More]
