Hardship Letter - Nutritional Analysis Term Paper

Targeted changes in these areas would correct the deficiencies identified in calcium and potassium consumption and likely the cholesterol and fat categories as well, due to the preparation methods frequently used in these categories. Subject should also consider increasing his fluid intake to at least direct proportion of his alcohol intake.

The British Nutrition Foundation recommends no more than 4 units of alcohol per day for males.

Subject's alcohol consumption average was over double the recommended amount as each pint of beer counts as two units.

Subject did not report any health history problems or issues which could result in compliance issues with recommendations at the time of the study.

However, at the time of this study, the World Health Organization was conducting a study regarding the Waist to Hip ratio as more specifically applied to Asian cultures.

The Waist to Hip Ratio has gained prominence as a strong indicator of cardiovascular disease. Individuals who carry their weight in their hips are less likely to have specific serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disease.

Finally, Subject may resist changing his diet initially.

However, the effects of improved diet can usually be felt and seen almost immediately and should aid with subject's compliance.

As summarized below, a few very simple changes and additions could have a tremendous impact on the Subject's willingness to improve his nutritional balance and because there are so few changes recommended, make it easier for the Subject to adhere to them.
