Generate an Intake vs Goals report, as well as 3 Source Analysis reports (for kilocalories, saturated fat, and sodium). You can generate these reports from the Reports tab in D&W+. For each report, you need to set a start date and an end date to capture all 3 days. 

Section C: Your Genetic Risk for Chronic Disease

Recall from Chapter 1 that each of us has a unique risk for developing chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. This risk is based on how we eat, lifestyle choices such as exercise habits and smoking, and the genes we inherit from our parents.

1. List 6 relatives (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and cousins for example). As you choose these people, focus on older relatives as well as any younger family members who have already been diagnoses with health conditions. They may be living or not.

2. Indicate which (if any) of these people had or have any of the following conditions: 

· Heart Disease

· Pre-hypertension, Hypertension, or Stroke

· Obesity

· Cancer

· Pre-diabetes, Gestational diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes

· Osteoporosis

If you cannot list any “blood” relatives, then list people with whom you grew up. If you don’t know if anyone has had these conditions, list their current age or the age at which they died.

1. List 4 vitamins and/or minerals that you consumed in adequate amounts and discuss how this protects you.

· Family History of Chronic Disease (in a table format)

· Your answers to the 6 questions.

Part 2: Food Bank Analysis (up to 30 points)

Many Americans rely on food banks to make sure they and their families have enough to eat. Although food banks have some capacity to collect and distribute perishables (fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat), they tend to rely on packaged foods with a long (unrefrigerated) shelf-life. This, of course, affects the nutritional content of their offerings.

1) Identify a local food pantry, and research their mission and the nutrition services they provide.

2) Using the food bank typical food list on the last page, create a menu for one day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Please make sure you include foods from each of the food groups:

a) Grains

b) Milk

c) Protein

d) Fruit

e)  Vegetable

3) Enter your choices into Diet and Wellness as though you are the client, and generate a Food Log report and an Intake vs. Goals Report.

4) Identify 3 nutrients for which you met the DRI recommendations.

5) Identify 3 nutrients for which you were below the DRI recommendations.

6) Discuss 3 implications of your Intake vs Goals report findings on the long-term health of people who rely on food banks for long periods of time.

7) Based on question 6, List 3 pieces of advice you would provide to these clients based on your analysis.

For Part 2 you are submitting the following to Blackboard for grading:
