1. How does Rashamel’s current sodium intake compare with the AI? Answer: 2. Which five foods provide the most sodium? Suggest a substitution for each that would reduce his sodium intake to 2300 mg or less. Answer: Rashamel does not consume enough fruits, vegetables, or low-fat dairy products to meet the recommendations of the DASH Eating Plan for a 2600-kcal diet (see Figure 10.18b: page 403 textbook). 3. Suggest foods that Rashamel could add to his diet to meet these recommendations. Answer: Adding foods to meet the DASH recommendations will increase Rashamel’s calorie intake. 4. What could Rashamel eliminate from his diet to reduce his calorie intake to about 2600 kcal while still meeting the DASH recommendations. Answer:

Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it. Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a person's body. Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person's chance of contracting the disease? Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease? How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease? Evaluate nutritional recommendations to help combat the disease. Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References page.
