Module 09 Assignment – Nutrition and Disease
Nutrition plays a vital role in a person’s overall health and wellbeing. Not getting enough of the recommended nutrients over the
long-term can lead to malnutrition which often results in disease
and illness.
In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper
spelling/grammar, address the following:
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?
