You are here to learn more about nutrition and enjoy it. You will learn
how the hispanic diet affects nutrition and leads into certain health risking
situations. from research by Frank, Elianny and Elizabeth.
Before we start, we must know what nutrition is. Nutrition is the study of how food
affects the health and survival of the human body. Without nutrition, we would develop
sever medical problems. For example, we could develop heart, blood or cholestoral problems.
The second most leading cause of preventable death is obesity.
We live in an area where hispanics dominate popuolation, but have
realized that they have many misconceptions about health. Not only
are they not aware about the truth behind health but there diets
take great part in why there is such lack in nutrition.
Just think about what the traditional American breakfast is, pancakes,
waffles, coffee, bagel, fruit, or toast. While the Hispanic breakfast can be
composed of one or more eggs, plantains, and other fried foods.
Compare them and you can see how the Hispanic breakfast has way more than
enough calories needed in a day. This is why we want to open up Hispanics
eyes and make them aware of what they are doing to themselves.
