Planning for good Nutritional Health (part 2)
Brief description of case study:
Person 1: He is a 34-year-old male and works for DHL as shift worker. He works night shifts which
means he is tired all the time and doesn’t have enough time to exercise. This person is also obese
and diabetic so he should limit the amount of fatty foods he eats and not raise his blood sugar
levels.
Person 2: This person is a 74-year-old male and struggles with swallowing due to his previous stroke
which makes him prone to dehydration and constipation. His diet is altered as he is lactose
intolerant and will have limited amounts of exercise because he is housebound.
Goal of case study: To improve person 1’s diet with healthy foods to prevent him from developing
heart disease and to make sure he is drinking the recommended number of fluids a day. Person 2
doesn’t eat enough calories daily so having a healthy balanced diet will prevent deficiencies and
further strokes. He will need to drink at least 2L a day to prevent him being dehydrated.
