and therefore must be consumed in the diet, they are considered to be: - Answer -
Essential
Which of theses not one of the four classes of tissue? - Answer -Cellular
What is the name for stage 5 in pantry clean out. - Answer -Get more active in the kitchen
Anatomy is the study of a body's structure or form. - Answer -True
Epigenetics is the way in which the environment interacts with our genes, turning some on and others off. - Answer -True
Which is not one of the four steps in transitioning to a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet? - Answer -Removing dairy products
Dr. Pottenger was a nutritional pioneer who traveled the world to study the eating habits
of indigenous people living completely on their local foods - Answer -False
Mineral Balance is not one of the six Foundations of Health - Answer -False
Which of the following is considered an essential fatty acid? - Answer -Linoleum acid
Articulate the significance of a person's connection to their body's innate wisdom and role of real food in health. - Answer -Like all other organisms, we have instincts that guide us towards foods and habits that help us survive and thrive. This innate wisdom often operates at a subconscious level, naturally guiding us toward optimal health and vitality through instinctual choices instead of rational thought. By reconnection with our innate wisdom, and finding the diet that is just right for our bio-individual needs, balance
can return to the body - reducing symptoms across the board. Identify key milestones of the modern diet and lifestyle practices and how they affect our
health. - Answer -The agricultural revolution: diverted us from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Increased food crops and domesticated animals. Less nutrients, loss of bone density, environmental harm, increased spread of communicable diseases and social changes. Refined sugar: was made cheaper, more accessible Industrial Revolution: people flocked to cities away from where food was produced; people bought food rather than growing/ raising it; food was processed so it wouldn't spoil; nutrient-density decreased Rise of Big Food: new processed food companies sprung up like soda, cereal and snacks; motivated by profit over nutrition
The Chemical Revolution: most dramatic effect on our modern food supply; food was created to be lighter and sustainable for soldiers in WWII; margarine and hydrogenated oils were created so troops could have butter and meat; chemicals used to produce bombs and nerve gas were repurposed in fertilizers and pesticides
The Digital Revolution: physical activity and outdoor leisure fall; affected our posture; increased exposure to blue light
Explain how the corporatization of farming practices and food production has impacted the nutrient content in food. - Answer -Modern agriculture practices have produced foods that contain fewer nutrients and more potentially harmful substances like hormones, steroids, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, additives, preservatives, coloring, BPA, BPS and GMOs. Prioritizing growth rate and production over nutrition also effects the nutrient content of animal-based foods.
Describe the work of nutritional pioneers & researchers that contribute to our bigger understanding of nutrition and global ancestral dietary patterns. - Answer -Dr. Weston A
Prince: noticed health declined when people adopted a western diet; there is no one ideal diet for everyone; believes no refined or de-natured food should be in a healthy diet
Dr. Francis Pottenger JR: degigned experiments that showed direct connection between
species inappropriate food and physical degeneration
Dr. Dam Harriette Chick: recommended fresh meat, freshly germinated pulses (sprouts); rickets were related to nutrient deficiencies and could be cured by
Stephen Le: move and eat like your ancestors; eat a variety of local food; avoid fad diets
Explain the impacts of epigenetics and bio-individuality on health. - Answer -Epigenetics
is the way in which the environment interacts with our genes, turning some on and others off. Everything you do, eat, breath or think effects how our genes are expressed. Bio-individuality is a dynamic circumstance governing the body's needs and is informed by both genetic and epigenetics factors . There is no one size fits all.
Describe various ways to incorporate ancestral food traditions into modern life and explain the benefit of doing so. - Answer -Reconnect with you food, the planet and community.
