Case Study About Nutrition

 

Analysis of the Celine’s Case Study

Celine is outgoing, and most of the foods she eats are from local eating spots. The only food which she eats at home is breakfast. Her breakfast consists of toasted bagel, cream cheese, and jam. Therefore, in the morning hours, she fails to consume a balanced diet. Also, her other foods are made up of junk food. For instance, she eats a hotdog each day from a stand. Instead of supplementing natural food with processing foods, she opts to consume more processed food than natural goods. For example, fried chicken wings and lasagna are some of the food served at her dinner table. It healthy to consume water after every meal; however, the Celine would rather consume wine than water after every meal. Lack of a balanced meal and the overconsumption of meat on a regular basis and friend food are no healthy for a woman aged 35 years old and above. The nutrition of a 35 years old woman should be made of carbohydrates and proteins instead of junk food, which consists of unsubstantiated nutrients.

 Celine's sickness is manifested through the consistent consumption of junk food. Eating poorly normally weakens the immune systems hence giving ways to diseases and sickens to attack the body. For instance, at breakfast, Celine takes toasted bagel, cream cheese, and jam hence indicating that she consumes plenty of fat in her systems. Her routine does not allow her to burn enough calories (Kothari, 2020). Her dinner is made up of heavy meals such as lasagna. Her meals are not close to each other hence denying her the space she needs to digest most of the food staff she has eaten during the day. This is one of the indications of an impending danger because she consumes without the need of giving her digestive system time to expel the waste generated during the day time functionally. Consuming plenty of food which is poor in terms of quality might lead to abdominal pain due to the intensive imbalance in terms of the acidity and basicity of the foods taken (Djordjevic, 2018). Considering the amount of food consumed during the daytime, Cline suffering from heartburn, nausea and abdominal pain. As one would have expected, Celine the impact of junk food on the overall health is extensive. In the meantime, the ability to keenly come up with proper dietary plans relies on the ability of Celine to comfortably engage her diet in a manner that corresponds to the food needed to improve her health.it is within human nature to permit or forego the benefits of eating healthy organic foods for the sake of retaining a healthy physic through informed decision making (Wickramasinghe et al., 2020).  Choices sometimes have consequences because the food consumed tends to shape the manner in which the body responds to the sicknesses. A healthy body is able to recover from an illness and cater to the long term needs of a person. First of all, junk food slows down the rate of metabolism. Muscles depend on the production of glucose in order to generate energy and produce energy for the cells and entire body. Gradually, the body becomes weaker and susceptible to diseases due to a weakened immune system.

Nursing Interventions

Determining present eating patterns of the patient helps in identifying mistakes and negative eating patterns. Secondly, the nurse needs to set daily goals for the patient so that she will be pushed further into eating more healthy foods. Also the patient should consume more foods that are rich in energy such as carbohydrates (Djordjevic, A. (2018). Also the patient should attend nutritional counselling

 One of the most convenient nursing intervention is to register in an interactive program where she can get a chance to express her concerns and learn or acquire skills on eating a healthy meal. Interactive programs helps one learn how to handle low fat foods and balanced meals with low sugar foods (Kothari, 2020). Also one can be able to learn effective food preparation techniques. This an educational technique where the person has the chance to develop good eating habits. Additionally, this eating habit will promote intake of fresh fruits and green vegetables. A decreased sugar in the diet is one way of ensuring that abdominal pains are relieved from the body

 An alternative intervention is ensuring that the patient has access to healthy food staff such as fruits and vegetable. This is done through advocacy actions integrated in the patient treatment plan (Kothari, 2020). Accessibility to healthy food at a subsidized rate ensures that the patient continuously eats healthy foods as a lifestyle rather than a treatment option

 Consuming a healthy balanced diet plays an important role in sustaining the proper general health and wellbeing hence averting malnutrition. A balanced diet consists of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and dairy. An improper diet may cause malnutrition. Malnutrition is a situation where the body is weakened due to the absence of certain nutrients within the body. The body needs a balanced diet so that it can be in good general health (Snyder, & Dougall, 2018). The body needs nutrients to repair damaged parts and to also assist the body to recover from the effects of a long day or toxic waste found within the food. It is a personal duty to come up with dietary plans that will help the body recover on time and also give the body the energy it needs to run the daily activities on time. This is all dependent on giving the body the nutrients it needs to be strong and healthy. Sometime, the basic principles of getting rid of excessive fat is through the integration of a proper diet and exercises. Also, water is to be taken in between the meals to assist the body get eh nourishment it needs (Gluba-Brzozka, et al., 2019). For the most part, fried foods are to be eaten in smaller quantities and during weekends or sometimes once per month. Distributing the amount of food consumed into three to four hour intervals give the body the digestive period it needs. The chance to come up with a proper dietary plan that covers all the needs of an individual gives credibility in terms of intake and calories burnt throughout the day. In summary can only thrive if given all the nutrients in the right quantity and proportions so that it can retain its strength and cater to the needs of the individual.
