Assignment 1: nutritional concepts and characteristics of nutrientsP1: EXPLAIN THE CONECEPTS ASSOCIATED WITH NUTRITIONAL HEALTH
In this assignment I will be explaining the concepts of nutritional
health including key terms like what nutritional measures and
dietary guidelines could be used to identify a person who was
malnourished, undernourished, and deficient in certain
nutrients, overweight or obese. I will also be explaining what
dietary guidelines there are that help individuals have a
balanced diet.
There are many different key terms associated with nutritional health. For example, one
concept would be dietary intake. One type of promotion for dietary intake is called the 5-A-
DAY campaign. This campaign is the best known government health message across the
nation and it was started due to a wide spread

plate. This is a pictorial food guide showing
the proportion and types of foods that are
needed to make up a healthy, varied and
balanced diet. The eat well pate is based on
the government’s tips for eating well which
include advice like: base your meals on
starchy foods, eat lots of fruit and
vegetables, eat more fish, cut down on
saturated fat and sugar, try to eat less salt,
get active, drink plenty of water and don’t skip breakfast. This plate applies to all people,
including vegetarians, people of all ethnic origins, people who are a healthy weight for their
height as well as people who are overweight. The eat well plate exaggerates on the fact that
healthy eating is all about balance and that there are no good or bad foods as long as the
