Nutritional health
Case studies:
Teenager: Chantelle is 18 and she is lactose intolerant. She lives a rather sedentary lifestyle,
and she goes to college, and she has been smoking since she was 13, she often is not hungry
due to this and she finds herself snacking on things through the day, when she has meals,
they are usually unhealthy, she would often like to order pizza to her house, even though
this will upset her stomach due to the dairy. She does not like to cook so she likes food that
is easy and quick to make. She very often skips meals as she is bad at cooking.
Adult: Tony is 53 and he is overweight. Tony is on low income, and he does not work, and he
receives benefits to keep him going. He finds that he does not have enough money to cook
or to eat a balanced diet, so he often eats ready meals and takeaways. He does not get out
that much because he had an injury at work before, and he has very low energy and his legs
hurt a lot, he gets leg pains and cramps in his legs, he does not get a lot of physical exercise.
But he does like to drink beer a lot and will sometimes go to the pub and have around 8
pints, he also will drink at home occasionally.
