Nutrition assignment Answer each topic with at least 300 words, word cited, turnitin less than 10 % Topic 1: Why do you eat what you do? Keep track of what triggers you eating for a few days. Is it primarily hunger or appetite? How do your physical activity and daily habits affect what you eat? Does the world around influence what you select to eat? Topic 2: According to the CDC, more than half of all Americans consumed a supplement in 2012. Supplements are common in our culture, and many people think they need to consume a supplement to be healthy. Are supplements safe? In this discussion, we will investigate vitamin and mineral supplements. Using your favorite search engine, find a vitamin and mineral supplement, and evaluate it. Your selection must contain at least 5 vitamins and minerals. In your initial discussion post, discuss the following: ● What is the cost of these supplements? ● How do the amounts of vitamins and minerals in the product compare with the DRIs, AI, and UL? ● Are the levels of nutrients safe? ● What compounds are included that are not essential nutrients? ● What disclaimers or warnings are made about the product? Does the manufacturer provide scientific evidence to back up their claim? ● How likely is the supplement to improve a person's health?
