Persuasive Speech On Food

Kay’s compromise is setting her up for troubles. She is doing the acceptable thing by researching the issue however she has missed some finer points. While fats at 9 calories per gram do in fact yield more calories per gram than carbohydrates which are 4 calories per gram and as such do indeed have a greater potential for energy use she is misguided in her thinking and taking an approach where she drops her carbohydrates low and takes in high fat in her diet is perverting the facts. A diet of the energy-dense fats will not be better for her in this event. She needs to trust and listen to her coach and their recommendation for her to see a sports nutrition professional. It will take following a properly guided meal plan for her to

Athletes often overlook the energy demands of daily training sessions. Total calories required are considerably increased for the training and competing athlete versus the average person, but it should be done in the proper % to total daily intake. If sufficient calories are not included in the diet, an athlete will lose to much weight, become fatigued more quickly and performance will

As we eat protein, fat and carbohydrates, as the main energy source, carbohydrates or glucose (simple sugar) break down into complex molecules. We need steady supply of glucose in between meals and at times like doing extensive workouts, there is an elevated demand for

First off, let me begin with a simple question. What was your school lunch like when you were in 7th grade? Next, let me tell you how mine is. Clearly showing how I feel about it, I always bring could lunch and try to avoid school lunch like the plague. Corn niblets with pudding cups and zucchini along with a frozen and mushy fruit cup, and the main course, an unripe banana.

“I'll take the chicken please, oh! And the carrots please.” “Number please,” “Where's your money?” “Wait a second, three dollars is not enough?” “Get him the cheese sandwich!” Every day something like this in the lunch line happens, if three dollars for a small lunch isn't enough, then I don't know what is. These days in schools, lunch prices have gone way up and is getting to the point where it's getting close to 4 dollars.

In preparation for the community presentation, we brainstorm our ideas to answer questions who and where is our target population? With our instructor approval, we are given the privilege to work with primary school children at Roosevelt Elementary School. What is the ongoing problem and what topic we need to present to bring awareness, health promotion, information and education to this particular population? Unanimously we agreed that children obesity has been a continuous and increasing problem in our schools in Scottsbluff and a growing concern for this nation and its future due to the increase of unhealthy foods consumed by our school children, such as foods that are low in fiber, high fat, high sugar and sodium which contributed to unnecessary weight gain and children obesity. As student nurses, we agreed that in line with the goal of Healthy People 2020 goal to promote and advocate healthy eating by increasing intake of fruit and vegetables in our school children diet by doing so, we decided to present “Healthy Food Choices.” It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that the public should consume adequate amounts of dietary fiber from a variety of plant foods. Dietary fiber is defined by the Institute of Medicine Food Nutrition Board as "non-digestible carbohydrates and lignin that are intrinsic and intact in plants." Populations that consume more dietary fiber have less chronic disease. Higher intakes of dietary fiber reduce the risk of developing several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers, and have been associated with lower body weights.

How ever there was a huge change in food intake after participants engaged in High Intensity Exercise. There was a difference shown with a significance of (P<.05). This helped the researchers come to the conclusion that High Intensity workouts are beneficial for the 24 hour energy balance. However it found that these effects usually don’t carry over into the next day. It also showed that while the consumption levels fell the types of food which they consumed did not change

The first question that needs to be addressed is: are the current recommendations accurate for all ultramarathoners? The first observational study that was assessed to answer this question was conducted by Wardenaar et al., and took place during a race in the Netherlands on several different types of terrain.5 It focused on two groups of runners: one group of sixty-eight doing a 60-km run and one smaller group of four doing a 120-km run. The group of 4 men, doing the 120-km race, had their diets monitored throughout the whole race. The 60-km runners were not monitored continuously throughout their race. Researchers used questionnaires to establish all the runners eating patterns, consisting of 3 days for each participant. The days were randomly

I first fell in love with nutrition after joining the powerlifting team in high school. Our team, including myself, would wait until the last minute to lose weight for competitions by running outside wearing garbage bags, starving ourselves the day of weigh-ins, and spitting in water bottles to lose water weight. These extreme dieting strategies took a toll on our overall success at competitions and my personal growth as an athlete. I knew I needed to make a change, starting with my diet.

Carbohydrate intake during exercise performance was normally used in various sports such as cycling, running and also team sports (Febbraio, Chiu, 2000; Tsintzas et al, 1995; Welsh et al, 2002). Athletes could consider a low carbohydrate diet to improve body composition, less stress and faster recovery. Noakes (2014) showed that athletes consumed a low carbohydrate diet managed to ride four minutes longer before reaching exhaustion. A (Nicholas et. al., 1997) study investigated the restoration of high-intensity running capacity following a diet containing additional energy in the form of carbohydrate or fat and protein. However, Hermansen et al (1967) argued that there were high oxidation rates of carbohydrates at 75% of V02

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to donate their time to Three Square, to assist residences of Southern Nevada with food insecurity. Thesis: Food Insecurity in America can be resolved if individuals begin to donate time at their local food banks such as Three Square.

Skipping meals can cause quick fatigue when exercising and lack of muscle development. You have a lack of nutrients if you don’t eat properly and that can lead to muscle tears and other injuries. It is not good to eat sweets and other sugary products, due to a lack of nutritional value. Drinking soda is also something that should be avoided if possible due to have no real benefits for the body. Foods and drinks that an athlete should stay away from include foods without protein, alcohol, granola, microwaved popcorn, white bread, sugary cereal, rice cakes, and canned soup. It is best for athletes to stay away from these types of food because they can cause a lack of good performance, due to being low in nutrition and protein. Foods that can help athletes stay healthy are quinoa, berries, salmon beans/legumes, pasta, bananas, cruciferous vegetables, nuts/nut butter, and chocolate milk. Most people believe that intaking a lot of protein is good after a workout but drinking chocolate milks with a little protein helps you in recovering your lost carbohydrates. After workouts it is best to drink water mixed with some nutrients to help rehydrate your

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience the need for better eating habits, the solution to poor nutrition, and the outcome of healthy eating.
