pH and Nutrition: Paper and Presentation
"Let thy food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be thy food." – Hippocrates
The notion of food as medicine is making its way from the fringes of medicinal practice to the forefront in the prevention and treatment of many conditions. While food cannot completely replace modern pharmaceuticals in the treatment of disease, it can play a significant role in either helping or hindering the healing process.
The purpose of this project is to expose students to the connection between nutrition and disease recovery. For this project students will be asked to research and report on a disease or condition that can lead to alterations in bodily pH values and nutritional methods that can be employed to support recovery from these diseases or conditions. This assignment will consist of both a written paper and a recorded presentation.
Directions:
Paper
Write a paper that is 1,250–1,500 words in length that includes:
1.A title page
2.An introduction that includes a thesis statement. A thesis statement addresses all aspects of the paper.
3.A description of the selected disease or condition and how it can lead to alterations in blood pH values. ( SEVERE DIARRHEA)
4.An explanation as to why this alteration in pH is detrimental to the individual.
5.A recommended nutritional plan for the individual that would support recovery from that disease or condition.
The role of food is very important in the Bible as well. There are several instances where food is mentioned in relation to the health of an individual. One of those cases involved the prophet Daniel, who essentially ate only vegetables and water for a short period of time (Daniel 1:12 and Daniel 10:3). As a result, Daniel's health surpassed the health of the other men.
Considering these two verses, along with additional resources on the Ultimate Daniel Fast website, located in the topic Resources, include the following in your paper:
6.A summary of the Daniel Fast (including what can and cannot be eaten).
7.The benefits and potential pitfalls of the diet from a chemistry and nutritional perspective.
8.The value of the diet for an individual from the perspective of the Christian worldview. Are there additional biblical principles that help to guide an individual as to what should and should not be eaten? Or to the extent that something should be eaten? Does the Bible discuss any rewards for following a healthy lifestyle or consequences for not?
9.A conclusion
10.A reference page
2
Include at least 3 references from reputable sources and demonstrate adequate support for the nutritional recommendations. For full points, at least two of the sources utilized must be peer-reviewed journal articles. Examples of reputable versus non-reputable sources:
Reputable:
• Journals by authors respected and well-known in their specific fields. These can be found though the GCU library. Click in the "peer-reviewed" box in the LopeSearch to find peer-reviewed journal articles.
• Websites from credible institutions like the Mayo Clinic or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where there is a specific author(s), the purpose is informative not biased, and the content is regularly updated. Also look for websites ending in .edu and .gov.
Non-Reputable:
• Self-authored sites such as blogs or Facebook posts
• Research articles without citations
• Websites with information not from specified author(s) or governmental department. Information is not educational, but persuasive.
• Materials published over 15 years ago or that have information/theories that are clearly out of date
Prepare the summative paper according to the guidelines found in the APA Guide located in the Student Success Center.
You are required to submit the paper to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support
articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
Presentation
Additionally, develop and deliver a 5-minute presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint (6–10 slides) that communicates the highlights of the research and emphasizes the recommended diet plan and how it can support recovery, helping the individual to achieve optimum levels of health. Include visuals that enhance the verbal information shared in the presentation.
The presentation should include the following slides with the following content:
1.Title slide
2.Introduce the selected disease or condition and how it can lead to alterations in blood pH values.
3.The highlights of the research
4.Recommended diet plan
5.How the plan can support recovery and help the individual to achieve optimum levels of health
6.References slide
