** Nutrition through Lifespan and Disease ** ** and ** ** Functional Foods **
 * “NUTRITION NETWORK!” **

For this assignment, you will be divided into food lab teams which will each be given a lifespan age **AND** a common disease that affects ones diet:

Toddler Early Childhood (Elementary School) Teenager Adult Senior || CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) Diabetes Osteoporosis Cancer Celiac Disease Anemia ||
 * Pregnant Woman

You are to research the dietary and nutritional needs of EACH of these groups and plan 2 dishes (one for each) that would accommodate their needs. You will demonstrate the making of these dishes, as a team, in front of the class, in a ‘**cooking show**’ (whose title you’ll come up with) on our ‘Nutrition Network’. During your show, you must explain the nature of your given lifespan age group and the disease, explain the dietary needs of **each** of these groups, and explain the nutritional benefits of **each** of the ingredients of the dishes you are making, as well as the benefits of the dish as a whole.

When you plan this meal, you will need to create 2 **brochures** with your **recipe** and an **outline of the** **dietary needs** of **each group** (per brochure) along with and explanation of how each of the ingredients meets the needs of your group. You could also put in a wordsearch or quiz for your audience to fill in while you cook!

Aside from your food show and brochures, your team is going to invent a new (imaginary) **Functional Food or ‘Nutraceutical’** that benefits **one** of your groups (either lifespan or disease). These products are much like the power bars and vitamin waters of our generation. This new product must have a name and form and exciting packaging, and you should be able to tell us about the health benefits of adding this exciting new product to your group’s diet. In fact, during a ‘**commercial break’** in your Nutrition Network food show, you will be **advertising this product** and telling us of its benefits. You should also have your brochure and tv show **sponsored** by your fantastic new food!
