who ganna do my nutrient assignment about 20 hours from now

The purpose of this assignment is to review your "My Diet Analysis 3-Day Diet Record" report and determine which vitamins and minerals you consumed in excessive amounts and which you were lacking in your diet. Then, consider what those vitamins and minerals do in the body. Why do we need them? Which foods should you eat less or more of to meet the recommendations?

1. Write a 1-2 page essay (double spaced) assessing your intake of vitamins and minerals based on the guidelines that follow. Answer all of the questions listed below.

2. Begin your essay with a brief introductory paragraph about vitamins and minerals provided by the diet.

3. Using your original "My Diet Analysis 3-Day Diet Record", identify any vitamin or mineral for which your average daily intake was less than 75% of the RDA or DRI for that nutrient.

a. Briefly describe the function that vitamin/ mineral plays

b. List 3 foods that are good sources of these vitamins/minerals and also have them be foods that you would eat.

c. Do not include the use of dietary supplements as a way of increasing your intake of these nutrients.

*Do this for up to 3 vitamins & 3 minerals (total max=6) for which your intake is below 75% of the RDA/DRI. Cover the requested information thoroughly.

4. List any nutritional supplements you use on a regular basis (more than 3 x per week).

a. List the dosage of each nutrient in that supplement.

b. Briefly describe your reasons for using these supplements.

c. If you do not take a supplement on a regular basis state “no supplement taken”

5. Identify any vitamin or mineral (dietary + supplement) for which your average daily intake was greater than 500% of the RDA or DRI for that nutrient.

a. Include any additional amounts of these nutrients that you consumed in supplement form.

b. For each of these nutrients, describe whether the total food and supplement level you consumed would possibly lead to any toxic or teratogenic (causing birth defects--if female) effects.

c. Describe any toxic or teratogenic effects of over consumption of these nutrients.

d. If none of your nutrients are above 500%, you must clearly state that.

(If intake of vitamin A is greater than 500%, decide if this is due to active vitamin A compounds (retinoids) or vitamin precursors (carotenoids). Comment appropriately.) Submit your paper on Blackboard.
