Desirable nutrition is achieved by eating a variety of foods which provide all the essential nutrients to support normal body functions.
Over-nutrition is the excess consumption of calories, fats, saturated fats and cholesterol which increase the risk for chronic disease.
Under-nutrition occurs when nutrient intake does not meet nutrient needs and over time health begins to decline.
There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that regulate body processes.
Proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water

Describe in detail the role that the hypothalamus plays in determining whether or not you feel like eating.
When we have not eaten for a period of time, the amount of nutrients in the blood begin to decline. This drop stimulates the feeding center in the hypothalamus which signals us to eat. When the nutrient level of the blood begin to rise, the satiety center is activated and our desire to continue to eat declines.
Name the four types of external forces that influence our eating habits and patterns and give an example of how you experience each in your life.
Your Answer:
Sensory. I tend to gravitate to foods that have a salty/savory flavor profile. I also don't like warm tomatoes as the texture is too soggy.
Cognitive. Currently on a weightloss journey so I am paying more attention to the nutritional value and serving size on packaging.
Environmental. My culture includes a lot of rice, stews, and some pastries. Health Status. I am no longer able to eat shellfish due to allergies.
