The essay question is as follows:
Explain the role of food nutrition and the food pyramid in health promotion and health development.
Any one there can help or direct me to a site that helps can’t seem to find anything on internet
It’s basically asking you how food nutrition and the food pyramid tie in with health promotion and health development – i.e. health promotion is about educating people to eat a healthy diet, and the food pyramid shows pictorially the proportions of different food groups you should be eating to have a healthy and balanced diet, and the nutrition and nutritional value of food has a direct relationship to the food pyramid and why some foods should be eaten in greater quantities than others (i.e. healthy eating).
I’ve just finished a website for a voluntary organisation on cancer, and as part of the research for that and causes of cancer (with certain cancers being linked to diet and obesity etc.) I did a load of research on healthy eating and the food pyramid etc. – there’s LOADS of sites looking at healthy eating etc. and the food pyramid:
- NHS Direct in the UK has a section on healthy eating
- Cancer Research UK has a section on healthy eating
- Wikipedia has information on the food pyramid etc.
You probably won’t find a site that answers the whole of the essay question all in one go, but if you piece together the information from various sites on healthy eating, the food pyramid and nutrition, along with information on what health promotion and health development is (which again you’ll find websites on), you’ll have all the pieces for a hopefully comprehensive essay.
