...Unit 21: Nutrition Concepts of health eating and diet The key to a healthy balanced diet is to consume the right amount of food from all food groups. It is important that a good diet must include most food groups as one single group cannot provide everything human’s needs for good health. A good diet and eating healthy is a nutritional lifestyle that helps to promote good health. Eating healthy helps to maintain a healthy body weight, good wellbeing and reduces the risk of various diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. 5 a day It is important that we have at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day as they are a part of a healthy balanced diet and can help us maintain good health. It is recommended by a worldwide health organisation that we should consume 400g of fruit and vegetables a day to lower the risk of serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamin c and dietary fibre, which helps to maintain a healthy gut and lower the risk of bowel cancer and constipation. Food Food is a nutritious substance that people eat in order to maintain life and growth. Food is needed by the human body for energy, to repair and build muscles and to prevent sickness and help recover from it. Food can be divided into energy content and nutrients. The breakdown of fats, proteins and carbohydrates will determine how much energy the body can derive from a given amount of food. Fats and carbohydrates...

...Concepts of nutritional health: Food: This is any substance eaten o nourish the body. Food can be solid or liquid, and can be taken by mouth, by tube or even directly into a vein, if someone cannot eat or drink normally. Health and social care level 3 book 1 Diet: This refers to the types of food eaten regularly by an individual. The word diet does not necessarily refer to a weight loss diet. An individual’s diet means all the meals and snacks they eat. Health and social care level 3 book 1 Meals and snacks: The traditional pattern of eating three meals a day still exists in some households, but a significant number of people gain a lot of their food intake from snacks. Some people have snacks between meals if they feel hungry and sometime just simply because the food is there. Snacks are not all necessarily unhealthy. Health and social care level 3 book 1 Nutrients: These are the specific chemical constituents of food that provide energy or support growth, repair or normal functioning of the body. Proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals are all nutrients. Health and social care level 3 book 1 Nutritional health: Malnutrition: This is the condition in which the body does not receive enough nutrients to function properly. Malnutrition can include under nutrition or over nutrition. Under-nutrition: the outcome of insufficient food intake and repeated infectious diseases. It includes being underweight for your age, too short for your age, dangerously...

...P1 - explain concepts associated with nutrition health. A person’s diet is the food they regularly consume, for example a high fibre diet contains a lot of fruit and vegetables. A nutrient is anything that nourishes a human or animal for example iron is a nutrient if someone is a vegetarian they don’t get a lot of iron so they have to take iron supplement tablets. A meal is a fairly large portion of food that is served and eaten for example a roast dinner which contains vegetables, meat and potatoes. A snack is a small amount of food eaten in between meals for example a sandwich. Malnutrition is caused by people having to many or too little nutrients, this can cause poor wound healing, fatigue and organ failure. Over nutrition is where you take in too many nutrients, this affects energy balance and leads to obesity. It also affects health, for example high intakes of salt are linked to high blood pressure. Under nutrition means not getting enough nutrients and can lead to starvation and marasmus. All of these conditions can lead to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and in many cases anger problems. Body Mass Index (BMI) is used as a guide to a person’s weight. It is calculated by dividing the person’s weight in kilograms by their height in metres then dividing the answer by their height in metres again. This is the system they use to determine whether someone is underweight ideal or overweight. This is a table to show how BMI is used as a guide to health. Less...

Diet is also used to refer to the deliberate selection of food to control body weight or nutrient intake. An individual on a diet will carefully monitors what they eat, in order to cut down on higher fat containing foods to help them lose weight. Meals and snacks Traditionally, an individual should be consuming three main meals a day however, it’s now more common for individuals to be gaining a significant amount of their food daily through snacks. Snacks are sometimes eaten between meals if the person feels hungry but it’s also possible that they eat the food simply because it’s available for them to consume. Many people assume snacks are unhealthy however snacks also refers to foods such as fruit and nuts. Nutrients Human’s main source of nutrients is food.

...Question (1): Assume a 45-hr/week and an hourly wage of €21. Material cost is €15 per running meter and the standard inventory value of output is €173 per unit. Overhead is charged weekly at the rate of €1838 and 0.75 times direct cost. Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Output | 636 | 576 | 624 | 644 | Workers | 12 | 11 | 11 | 9 | Material (meter) | 4125 | 3675 | 3930 | 4035 | A. Briefly explain the concept of productivity? Productivity Productivity is a measure of the rate at which outputs of goods and services are produced per unit of input (labor, capital, raw materials, etc.). It is calculated as the ratio of the amount of outputs produced to some measure of the amount of input used. Productivity = Quantity of goods and services produced Amount of resources used As the equation indicates, there are two variables in measuring productivity- the amount of production and amount of resources used. Productivity varies with the amount of production relative to the amount of resources used. Productivity can be increased in several ways, which Are given below here- 1. Increase production using the same or a smaller amount of resources. 2. Reduce the amount of resources used while keeping the same production or increasing it. 3.

...Game theory Competition is a watchword of modern life. A competitive situation exists when two or more opposing parties are making decisions involving conflicting interests and wherein the action of one depends on the action which the opponent takes. Each opponent acts in a rational manner and tries to resolve the conflict in his own favor. Such situations arise in business, military operations, etc. Game theory is used to handle such conflicting situations. It seeks to provide a rational course of action in a conflicting situation. The term „game‟ represents a conflict between two or more parties. There can be several types of games, e.g. two-person and n-person games, zero-sum and non-zero-sum games, constant-sum games, cooperative and non-co-operative games, pure strategy games and mixed strategy games, etc. When there are two competitors playing a game, it is called a two-person game. If the number of competitors are N (N > 2), it is known as an N person game. When the sum of amounts won by all winners is equal to the sum of the amounts lost by all losers, we call it a zero-sum game. In a non-zero-game there 1 exists a jointly preferred outcome. In other words, in a zero-game or a constant-sum game the sum of gains and losses of the game is zero. As opposed to this, if the sum of gains or losses is not equal to zero, we call it a non-zero-sum game. When the best strategy for each player is to play one particular strategy throughout the game, it is known as a pure strategy...

...Price Elasticity of Demand A. Definition Price Elasticity of Demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of good responds to a change in the price of that good. B. Formula [pic] this value is normally negative. Notes: • Since the demand curve is downward sloping the above fraction will have a negative value. To change the negative value into a positive value the absolute value is taken. • Elasticity is different from slope. Slope is measured by ∆QD/∆P C. Five Classifications 1. Perfectly inelastic demand does not change [pic] % change in QD = 0 2. Inelastic demand little change [pic] % change in QD < % change in P 3. Unit elastic demand [pic] % change in QD = % change in P The only way it can be equal to one is if its curve linear. 4. Elastic demand [pic] % change in QD > % change in P 5. Perfectly elastic demand [pic] % change in P = 0 III. Income Elasticity of Demand A.

...that allows customers to complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On weekday mornings, arrivals to the drive-up teller window occur at random, with an arrival rate of 24 customers per hour or 0.4 customers per minute. a) What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period? The expected number is of 0.4*5 = 2 customer is a five-minute period. b) Assume that the Poisson probability distribution can be used to describe the arrival process. Use the arrival rate in part (a) and compute the probabilities that exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 customers will arrive during a five-minute period. The probabilities of the described scenarios are as follows: P0=20e-20! P0=0.135335283 P1=21e-21! P1=0.270670566 P2=22e-22! P2=0.270670566 P3=23e-23! P3=0.180447044 c) Delays are expected if more than three customers arrive during any five-minute period. What is the probability that delays will occur? This probability can be expressed as the probability of more than 3 customers arriving during the five-minute period, which can be computed as following: P(x > 3) = 1 – P(x ≤ 3) P (x > 3) = 1 – 0.85712346 P(x > 3) = 0.14287654 Thus, there is a 14, 29% probability of expected delays in five-minute period.

These are independent samples of sufficient size to use the z-test for proportions. n1 = 270 x1 = 56 n2 = 203 x2 = 52 α = 0.05 p1’ = x1/n1 = 56 / 270 = 0.2074 p2’ = x2/n2 = 52 / 203 = 0.2562 pbar = (x1 + x2) / (n1 + n2) = (56 + 52) / (270 + 203) = 0.2283 qbar = 1 – pbar = 1 – 0.2283 = 0.7717 H0: p1 = p2 Ha: p1 ≠ p2 (claim) At α = 0.05 for a two-tailed test, zcrit = ±1.96 ztest = [ (p1’ – p2’) – (p1 – p2) ] / √[(pbar)(qbar)(1/n1 + 1/n2)] ztest = [ (0.2074 – 0.2562) – 0 ] / √[(0.2283)(0.7717)(1/270 + 1/203)] ztest = -1.2515 Since ztest > zcrit, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
