Jan.9 – Food and nutrition research projects

Find out what kind of nutrients your favorite food has!
http://www.eatwise.ca/default.aspx

Today we are starting our food research and presentation projects. The information learned here will hopefully give us a critical view of different views on healthy eating so that you can make your own informed choices about what to eat. Each group will prepare a ten minute multi-media presentation.

Prepare your own presentation instead of using other people’s videos, prezi info or powerpoints
Document all of your sources on a reference page prepared in APA format, that includes sources of any information quoted.
Give examples of ways of eating from each area that are easy to do, tasty and healthy (and why!)

Be ready to present on Wednesday, Jan.21!

Topics:
• Compare the cost and nutritional value of whole foods vs. processed foods (include nutritional value comparison, and sugar content of whole foods vs. processed, also the dietary effects of sugar)
• Compare Vegetarian / veganism, the Paleo diet, and Canada food chart in terms of the amount of fats, carbs, proteins that are recommended in each – what are examples of healthy eating from each area?
• Compare the benefits of organic vs. non-organic foods (describe the benefits of each from different points of view, as well as the pros and cons of GMO’s). What are the effects of different toxins and pesticides on our health?
• Describe types of fat (saturated, unsaturated (mono, poly) and trans-fats, also include cholesterol) and why they are important (describe how too little or too much can affect our health, and how). You can also discuss omega 3 and omega 6 fats as well as ketones, and the importance of these in body fincitoning. Give examples of healthy eating from each area of fat.
• What are “superfoods” and tonic foods? (describe the effects of antioxidants and oxidation on our health) What is a source of each vitamin? What is/are the benefits of each vitamin? What could happen if I get too much/too little of each Vitamin? Which vitamins are associated with positive mood? Why is calcium important to our health?
