 Should everyone follow the
same guidelines for choosing
foods to eat? What about
people such as athletes,
vegetarians, and astronauts,
who have special requirements?
What about people such as
diabetics, pregnant women,
and people who are lactose
intolerant and need to make
different dietary choices
for health reasons? Now
it’s your turn to
take the Nutrition and Exercise
Challenge. Working in groups,
your task is to choose one
of seven Specialty Menu
Cards. Select from a person
with hypertension, a strict
vegetarian, a pregnant woman,
a person who is lactose
intolerant, a diabetic,
an athlete in training,
or an astronaut in space.
You will plan a menu for
breakfast, lunch, dinner,
and snacks that meet the
particular dietary needs
described on the Specialty
Menu Card. Also, you will
create an exercise program
for the Specialty Menu Card
you choose.
Submit your nutrition and
exercise programs to the
NASA CONNECT™ web
site http://connect.larc.nasa.gov
in the form of a report,
PowerPoint presentation,
or other delivery method.
There’s a good chance
that your plan and program
will be seen by millions
of students across the country.
In fact, you might receive
some cool NASA stuff! We
look forward to your submittals.
