Contrast the dietary needs of special populations. A variety of ANY 3 special populations. The populations cannot be related. They must be 3 separate populations. For example, Females, Elderly, and Autistic populations and contrast. You may pick any 3 populations, not just the ones I put for example.
1.Females
A pillar of wellness is a healthy eating pattern. Women , like men, from all food classes, should enjoy a range of nutritious foods, including whole grains , fruits , vegetables, healthy fats, low-fat or fat-free milk and lean protein. But women still have unique nutritional requirements, and these requirements change over each stage of a woman's life.
Eating the Correct
Foods rich in nutrients provide nutrition for the busy lives of women and help reduce the risk of illness. Regularly, a balanced eating schedule includes:
Whole-grain equivalents of at least three ounces, such as whole-grain bread, whole-grain cereal flakes, whole-grain pasta, brown rice, or oats.
Three servings of low-fat or non-fat milk products, including milk , yoghurt or cheese, or soy milk fortified with calcium. (Non-dairy calcium sources include calcium-fortified foods and drinks, canned fish and some leafy greens for people who do not eat dairy products.)
Nutrition foods such as lean meat , poultry , fish, eggs, beans , lentils, tofu, nuts, five to 5 and a half ounce equivalents.
Nutrition food equivalents, such as lean meat , poultry , fish, eggs, beans , lentils, tofu , nuts and seeds, are five to 5 and a half ounces.
New, frozen, canned or dried without added sugar, from one and a half to two cups of fruit.
Two to two and a half cups of colourful vegetables without added salt, raw, frozen or canned
Foods Iron-rich
Iron is necessary for good health, but depending on a woman's stage of life, the amount required is different. Iron standards are higher during pregnancy, for example, and lower after menopause.
Folate during the Reproductive Years (and Folic Acid)
Folate (or folic acid) plays a significant role in reducing the risk of birth defects as females reach childbearing age. For females who are not pregnant, the minimum is 400 micrograms (mcg) per day. It may help to increase the amount of foods that naturally contain folate, such as bananas, leafy green vegetables, beans and peas.
Regular Requirements for Calcium and Vitamin D
Women need to eat a variety of foods rich in calcium every day for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium retains healthy bones and tends to reduce the likelihood of osteoporosis, a disorder of the bones in which the bones become brittle and break easily.
The Added Carbohydrates, Saturated Fats and Alcohol Guidelines
Women should be conscious of the origins of sugar, saturated fat and alcohol added to them.
For Americans, the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines propose restricting added sugars to less than 10 per cent of daily calories. Ban added sugars, including drinks sweetened with sugar, candies, cookies, pastries and other sweets.
Balancing Of Exercise Calories
Since women usually have less muscle, more body fat and are thinner than men, to maintain a healthy body weight and level of activity, they need less calories. More calories may be needed by women who are more physically active.
Elderly
No matter what your age, eating right and keeping fit are crucial. Our bodies have different needs as we get older, so some nutrients are particularly important for good health.
Vitamin D and Calcium
In order to help improve bone health, older adults need more calcium and vitamin D. Select foods and drinks rich in calcium to meet these needs and strive for three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products per day. Fortified cereals and fruit juices, dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with soft bones, and fortified plant-based drinks are other calcium sources.
B12 vitamins
It may not be possible for certain adults older than 50 to consume adequate vitamin B12. Sources of vitamin B12 include fortified cereal, lean meat and some fish and seafood. If you need a vitamin B12 supplement, ask your doctor or a licenced nutritionist.
Fiber Dietary
To remain normal, eat fiber-rich foods. Dietary fibre can also help minimise the risk of heart disease and decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes. Eat whole-grain breads and cereals, along with fruits and vegetables that also have dietary fibre, and more beans and peas.
potassium
In addition to limiting sodium (salt) intake, consuming adequate potassium can lower your risk of high blood pressure. Healthy sources of potassium are fruits, grains , beans and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Even, with little to no added salt, pick and prepare foods. With herbs and spices, add flavour to food.
Autistic population
A term used to describe a group of disorders that affect the brain is autism or 'Autism Spectrum Disorder.' Numerous diets and supplements are available that may help with the symptoms of autism.
Kids with autism can restrict their intake of food or have preferences for food. They will break down fat differently as well. As a consequence, often autistic kids are deficient in some nutrients. In order to see whether giving children supplements of these nutrients will help with autism symptoms, some of these nutrients have been tested. More research is required, however.
Multivitamins: Some reports have shown that multivitamins can help to improve autistic children's sleep and digestive problems. Remember that certain digestive issues can be caused by a multivitamin with iron. It is not harmful to give your child a multivitamin and may be beneficial , especially if the child is not eating a healthy diet.
Iron: Children with autism, generally because several are picky eaters, are also low in iron. Tell your doctor to check your child's iron levels regularly. Don't offer an iron supplement unless a health care professional has reported the iron level of your child as low. An iron supplement can help to get the levels of iron back to normal.
Vitamin B6 and magnesium: In autistic children, vitamin B6 and magnesium supplements have been related to improving behaviour. The research, however, is not powerful and further research is required before autistic children are prescribed for these supplements.
Fats Omega-3
Some study has shown that there are low levels of omega-3 fats in
many children with autism. In autistic children, omega-3
supplements can help with hyperactivity. More research is required,
however, before omega-3 supplements for children with autism can be
prescribed.
The Casein-Free, Gluten-Free Diet
A gluten and casein free diet is the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet. In wheat and other grains, such as rye, barley, triticale, kamut and spelt, gluten is the main protein. In dairy products such as cow's milk, cheese , yoghurt and ice cream, casein is the principal protein.
