Guide questions:
1. With the average person now spending over two hours a day on various media
platforms, it’s only natural that the friends and influencers we follow online
affects our eating behaviors and body images especially the young ones. You
have probably made health decisions based on your social media feed to some
degree. Are these effects beneficial, or do they have unintended negative
consequences?
- Social media's influence on our eating behaviors and body image can have
both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, exposure to health-
conscious content, informative posts, and positive role models can inspire
individuals to adopt healthier habits. Seeing influencers promoting nutritious
meals, fitness routines, or body positivity can motivate people to make
positive health choices and feel more confident about themselves.
2. Keto and intermittent diet are very popular trendy diets today. Discuss how it
works in our body and the pros and cons of each.
3. Is there a nutritional gap that exist especially for numerous vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants that tend to be found in the eliminated food and food groups
in the diet? Support your answer.
- Yes, both the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can potentially create
nutritional gaps due to the restricted nature of these eating patterns. The keto
diet restricts many fruits and some vegetables due to their carbohydrate
content, potentially leading to a lower intake of vitamins, particularly vitamin C
and certain B vitamins found abundantly in fruits and some vegetables. Fewer
meals during the day may lead to a lower intake of certain vitamins and minerals
if not compensated adequately during eating windows.
4. Does each diet regimen effective to everyone or varies from one person to
another? Explain.
- Both the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can vary in effectiveness
from person to person due to individual differences in metabolism, lifestyle,
health conditions, and personal preferences. Some individuals may enter a state
of ketosis more easily and efficiently than others. Factors such as genetics, insulin
sensitivity, and metabolic rate can influence how effectively someone adapts to a
ketogenic state. Responses to fasting can vary based on gender and age. Women,
for example, might respond differently due to hormonal fluctuations, and older
individuals might find fasting more challenging due to different metabolic needs.
5. What is the stand of the National Nutrition Council Governing Board of our
country in relation to the growing popularity of fad diets among Filipinos?
