Muhiba Alhassan 661669 Unit 19- Task 2 Planning for good Nutritional Health
P5- Produce clear plans to improve the nutritional health of two individuals with different dietary
needs.
Planning a person's meals to help them eat better requires considering not only what needs to be
changed (such as whether they are overweight or underweight or if they are deficient in certain
nutrients), but also the whole person and their holistic needs, such as whether they have any dietary
restrictions or intolerances, their schedule and routine, and foods that fall within their budget.
P6- Explain how the recommendations will improve the nutritional health of the selected individuals.

Person N had nothing to eat in the morning on the first day of the three-day food record; this is not ideal
for her because breakfast is the most essential meal of the day. She had Walker's cheese and onion
flavored chips for lunch and baked beans on toast for supper. This is not a suitable diet for Person N
since she is not getting her 5 a day, and it is also not nutritionally or nutritionally balanced. Person N had
nothing to eat for breakfast on the second morning. Again, this is not beneficial for her since she is
depriving her body of essential nutrients. In the case of Person N, she consumes much too little
nutrients. She, for example, does not consume enough calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber.
She does, however, consume an excessive amount of saturated fat and sugar. Every day, a lady should
,Muhiba Alhassan 661669 Unit 19- Task 2 Planning for good Nutritional Health
consume 230g of carbs. Person N consumes significantly less food over the three days of her food diary.
This might have a detrimental impact on her because carbohydrates are a primary source of energy that
everyone requires to survive and grow.

Person S consumes an excessive amount of protein, carbohydrates, sugars, and saturated fats. She does
not, however, get enough calories and fiber. Person S's digestive health depends on fiber, and a lack of
fiber might lead to constipation and other health issues in the future. Person S needs to consume more
plant-based carbohydrate-rich meals like whole meal bread to avoid this. Fruit, vegetables, and legumes
Person S also does not get enough calories. When you do not eat enough calories, you are more likely to
be sleepy and have poor energy levels. This is because calories are units of energy that the body requires
to function. This may prevent Person S from accomplishing everyday activities. Calorie loss may also
have an impact on her social life, as she may be hesitant to go out with her friends on the weekend.
