QUESTION 1 (35 marks) Neo, one of the children in your class, does not look

healthy. His stomach looks bloated, and his skin looks dry and scaly. Apart

from often falling sick and skipping school, Neo seems to be tired most of the

time and his teeth are decayed. On following up on Neo’s family background,

you discover that he comes from a poor family and that his parents are

unemployed. 1.1 In your own words, explain what the cause of Neo’s

condition might be and what factors could be contributing to the condition. (4)

1.2 Identify five types of food, giving examples of each, that Neo will need for

growing and for staying healthy. (10) 1.3 Discuss how Neo’s emotions and

intellect are likely to have been affected by his current state. (10) 1.4 Obesity

in children is becoming a health problem. Discuss three major causes of

obesity in children and suggest ways of dealing with them. (10) 1.5 Give one

function of minerals in the body. (1)

1.1 Neo's Condition and Contributing Factors

Neo's symptoms, including a bloated stomach, dry and scaly skin, frequent

sickness, tiredness, and decayed teeth, suggest he might be suffering from

malnutrition. Malnutrition can occur due to an inadequate intake of essential

nutrients, which is likely in Neo's case, given his family's economic situation

and his parents' unemployment. The lack of sufficient and nutritious food,

, coupled with poor access to healthcare and potentially inadequate living

conditions, may be contributing factors to his health issues.

1.2 Five Types of Food Needed for Growth and Health

To support Neo's growth and health, he needs a balanced diet that includes

the following types of food:

1. Proteins: Essential for growth and repair of tissues.

Examples: Lean meats (chicken, fish), legumes (beans, lentils), eggs,

dairy products (milk, yogurt), nuts, and seeds.

2. Carbohydrates: Provide energy for daily activities and proper brain

function.

Examples: Whole grains (brown rice, oats), starchy vegetables

(potatoes, corn), fruits (bananas, apples), and legumes (beans, lentils).

3. Fats: Necessary for energy, brain development, and absorption of fat-

soluble vitamins.

Examples: Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish (salmon,

mackerel).

4. Vitamins and Minerals: Crucial for various bodily functions, including

immune system support, bone health, and energy production.

Examples: Fruits and vegetables (oranges, spinach, broccoli), dairy

products (for calcium), lean meats (for iron), and whole grains.
