APA FORMAT MUST BE USED!!!!! My essay must include For my signature assignment topic, I will be discussing the importance of a health diet and exercise can do to help you in the long run and will also be answering all 9 questions from a human perspective. Here are the 9 questions that must be answered in this essay. 1. What are the four (4) components of a healthy diet?
Be sure to explain each of the four components.
2. Name one (1) function of each of the following macronutrients: Fats, Protein, and Carbohydrates.
3. Discuss how a long-term deficiency and/or excess in each of the above-mentioned macronutrients affects overall health
4. There are many micronutrients involved in fluid balance (electrolytes) and protection from oxidation (antioxidants). Name three (3)
micronutrients and discuss what each of them does in terms of overall health.
5. Describe how a long-term imbalance of micronutrients could affect one’s health. What happens if there is a deficiency? What happens if there is an excess?
6. Discuss the importance of physical activity in terms of energy intake. How can your subject balance their physical activity with their energy intake?
How much physical activity does your subject need each day to maintain a healthy body weight? What are some ways that your subject can stay active?
7. Name one precaution your subject has taken in the past week in terms of food safety.
8. Name one common nutritional issue associated with each of the following groups of people:
Pregnant Women, Children or Adolescents, and the Elderly
9. Name two (2) reputable sources of nutritional information besides your teacher and your textbook (These can be from online sources, nutrition-based organizations, or registered medical professionals)

The impact of maternal health on a child’s development and function…
I have shared a second stage draft with concepts to be used in the paper as well as references. 
There is a proposal that I also have attached to follow. 

exploring the impact of cultural dietary practices on health outcomes. You could delve into how different cultural backgrounds influence dietary choices, examine the health benefits and risks associated with traditional diets from various cultures, and consider how globalization and acculturation are affecting dietary patterns worldwide. This topic would allow you to analyze the intersection of nutrition, culture, and health, offering insights into the complex relationship between food and well-being.

I need a brief literature review of the sources attached. It’s all about biodiversity and nutrition. 

please follow the instructions. I already did the first step of the assignment recording 3 days of my diet. there is also an example in it

Intermittent Fasting on Brain and Cognitive Function. Nutrients 2021, 13, 3166.

spelling, or you will lose points.
1. Through
what metabolic mechanisms could an IF protocol promote brain health even
if weight was not lost? (1)
Intermittent
fasting has shown promise for improving outcomes in several neurological
disorders and has underlying mechanisms that could support brain health.
Fasting regimens cause metabolic shifts like decreased insulin and increased
ketone circulation that may benefit neuronal function and survival. However,
more research is still needed. Longitudinal clinical trials directly comparing
effects of starting intermittent fasting at different ages could help determine
optimal dosing. Placebo-controlled studies are also lacking, and controlled
trials should account for potential confounding from calorie reduction or
rhythmic eating changes accompanying various fasting models. Further exploring
intermittent fasting applications and optimizing protocols through rigorous
human studies remains an important area for future research. 
2.Would you
expect that a change from three meals a day to a TRF would increase microbiome
diversity? Defend your answer (1)
3. Some of
the studies reported improvements in symptoms of neurogenerative disease using FMD.
(1)
a) briefly describe one such disease situation; if the subjects
were animals, describe the model of the disease. What was improved by the FMD?
b) Is FMD really intermittent fasting? Would you expect the same
effects with other low-calorie diets? Defend your answer.
a) One study
used a multiple sclerosis animal model where mice were induced with EAE to
mimic MS. These mice were given 3 cycles of FMD, which completely reversed
disease progression as measured by clinical scoring compared to ad libitum fed
mice.
b) While FMD
does involve periods of low-calorie intake, it differs from simple calorie
restriction in that the fasting mimicking diet aims to lower protein/amino acid
content specifically to reduce IGF-1 levels. Studies comparing FMD to CR or
unrestricted diets found reductions in IGF-1 and markers of aging and disease
with FMD that were not seen with long term CR. So, the composition changes
aimed at lowering IGF-1 distinguish FMD and suggest its effects may not be
replicated by other generally low calorie diets without attention to
macronutrient balance.
4. The
authors do not state how severe or how long-term the diets must be in order to
produce positive effects on neurological function. Based on Table 1, what can
you say about: (1)
a)
the length of the diets needed to produce improvement in symptoms and risk
factors in humans.
b)
the severity of the diets needed to produce improvement in symptoms and risk
factors in humans.
a) Based on
Table 1, the majority of studies that showed improvements in humans used diet
lengths ranging from 2 months to 3 years. No studies with durations under 2
months showed effects.
b) The
severity of diets associated with improvements varied. Studies using TRF, ADF
or PF generally did not aim for calorie reduction. FMD was more restrictive at
very low-calorie intake for 5 days per month but produced benefits. Ramadan
fasting showed some improvements and relapses depending on variables,
suggesting a mild intermittent fast may work for some but requires careful
variables management. Overall improvements were seen with protocols ranging
from mild TRF to medically supervised very low calorie FMD but not with
constant severe calorie reduction. 
5. The
effects reported in studies where subjects followed IF vs their previous ad libitum diets could be due to many
differences between the two situations, which may not be specific to an IF.
Discuss TWO
differences in the dietary situations (e.g. protocol, composition–not their
effects) that could be responsible for the results. (1)
Two
differences in the dietary situations between IF and ad libitum protocols that
could contribute to results include:
– Timing of
eating – IF protocols restrict eating to specific windows each day while ad lib
usually allows grazing. This impacts circadian rhythms and hormone levels.
– Feeding
frequency – Most IF calls for 1-2 meals per day vs spreading foods across the
day with snacking in an ad lib plan. This changes digestion patterns and
substrate availability. 
The changes
in circadian impact, feeding frequency and other aspects of the overall dietary
pattern from IF, not just its effects, could drive some results seen versus
unstructured ad lib eating. Strict controls are needed to isolate the
intermittent fasting variable.
