This 16 years old girl has an average weight but looking back at her nutrients table she is eating 47% fats even though 20% is recommended per day according to the website of (British Nutrition) when I looked at her food table, she is eating a lot of fats e.g. in her breakfast she is eating butter which contain 30g, as each slices, then at lunch she eat chips 200g, bread 2 slices and etc. which means she is eating too much fats rather than eating healthier foods , however she should eat healthier foods to the recommended amount of 20% of fats per day because . If she does not reduce the amount of fats which she is eating may effects her being overweight and being overweight can lead her to being obese it can also cause many other illness such as having heart diseases, heart attack, and etc. so she needs to have healthy food which doesn’t contain too much fat such as vegetables this will help her to have less fat in her body which means the level of cholesterol will decrease and it will also help her to stop of getting diseases such as diabetes.
In order for my individual to have a healthy lifestyle, it is important for her to eat the recommended amount of 12 milligrams of iron a day, because iron knows as it creates/provides more blood cells. So at this stage my individual is still growing so she needs additional iron to replace what she lose monthly, as her body will get rid lots of blood, when her menstruation starts each month during her period, she would bleed a lot and that would be the reason of her losing lots of blood in her body.
Iron is especially important for my individual at this age because it is needed for the production of the red blood cell, also important for her to maintain a healthy immune system, as it will help her body to make haemoglobin. as a part of this it is also important for my individual to have 1000 milligrams of calcium per day in her body, because she needs calcium for good teeth and strong bones and she also needed it for the proper function of nerves muscles, kidneys and the heart but if my individual did not take the right amount of calcium per day in the diet then it is one of the many factors of related with an increased risk of osteoporosis, a disease that speeds up the process of the natural loss of calcium in the bones. The cause will be that her bones will get weak and fragile. However my individual need to eat the right amount of 1000 milligrams of calcium per day to meet her needs for a healthy life.
For a good health of my 16 years old individual she will need different types of vitamin in her healthy diet because it is good for her body and to eat the recommended vitamin it will help her maintain a good health in many ways for example vitamin A will help her to prevent skin and other tissues from becoming dry, it will also help her to improve her vision and promotes bone growth, toot development and will also help her maintain a healthy skin, hair and etc.
Person D
For my individual D I have a male aged 35 years old. His height is 1.75m and his weight 77kg, I also worked out his BMI, he is 25.16. The nutrients he is eating I have showed in the table below
He is obese and taking 33% of fats, which I think is too much than the recommended daily intake. He should take 20% of fats. Consuming too much fat may lead to diseases such as heart disease and high cholesterol. Fats are important for the health blood and also provide a source of energy and carrying vital nutrients.
The recommended daily intake for protein is 15%. He is taking the right amount of protein needed for daily intake. Protein is needed for important growth cell
Production. The amount of carbohydrates is eating is 52% per day. However, the recommended daily intake of carbohydrates is 55% per day. That means he is taking a bit less than the recommended amount. Carbohydrates provide energy to the body.
From my individual table D it showing that he is having too much fat as he is already obese so therefore he should lower his fats intake because he is already an obese person and this could make him to develop heart disease and related illnesses.
However, his diet is healthier compare to the girl’s diets. His diet should also base on 2000 calories per day or a little bit lower because he is an obese person. He should also try to lower his weight by eating more of fruits and vegetables. He should also start doing exercise at least 30 minutes a day this will help him to lose weight and decrease the chances of getting any other diseases such as diabetes.
For my both individual (C and D) it is important for their health that they should always take the recommended nutrients which are 50% carbohydrates, 20% proteins, and 15% of fats per day Because if they do not take the right amount of nutrients then this may affect their health and it can prove to be harmful to the body.
By eating a balanced diet it will benefit to a good health because by consuming all foods in a well balanced proportion will help prevent many infections and disorders e.g. if the body gets all the required nutrients, it will improve the functioning of the immune system which is responsible for the prevention of various infections also by eating or following a balanced diet it will reduce the possibilities of some types of cancer, control blood sugar level effectively and blood pressure.
It will prevent diseases that are in a result of either over consumption on under consumption of certain foods, if the body gets all the nutrients regularly with the right amount calories per day then it will be good for them because they will have a good health and also prevent from getting any diseases or infection and will promote a healthy body growth and maintained a balanced diet would also be beneficial to the state of mind e.g. an individual be able to live an active lifestyle because both the body and mind will be in a good state, they would be able to coordinate well, it will also help to immediate decisions and take problems well.
