6. Activity-5minutes
You will be given 5 minutes to go around
the room and write down as much as you
can about the words:
“Diet, Food, Meal and snack”
(Stretch and Whitehouse, 2010)
7. Food
Food can be defined as “any nutritious
substance that people or animals eat or
drink or that plants absorb in order to
maintain life and growth.”
(Stretch and Whitehouse, 2010)
9. “The food and drink
that a person or
animal regularly
consumes.”
(Stretch and Whitehouse, 2010)
Remember a diet does not mean to
lose weight. There are diets to lose
weight, they are diets to gain
weight, diets to eat healthy and
balanced diets.
(Stretch and Whitehouse, 2010)
DIET
10. Meals
A meal contains a range of different nutrients and often
eaten at certain time and place.
“Food served and eaten on regular occasions, it can be
during the day, for breakfast, lunch and supper.” (NHS,

11. Snacks
Snacks are usually a single type of food and eaten
between meals. They are often low in nutritional content.
(Stretch and Whitehouse, 2010)
13. Researchtask…10minutes
In groups you will be given an article about the following terms “Malnutrition,

You have to produce a poster about each term.
1- Definition (With reference)
2- How it occurs?
3- Symptoms

17. 14% of people over the age of 65 are malnourished – How many over 65 year olds are not?
People over the age of 70 living on their own are undernourished with a ratio of
8: 2 - What is the simplified ratio?
35% of elderly living in a care homes are malnourished- How many in care homes are not
effected?

32. Activity-25minutes
You are a nurse and you are wanting to make a game that will inform students on
either malnutrition, underweight or deficiency as 1 in 6 children are deficient in
one or more nutrients. You have decided to make it into a game to make it fun for
students to access and learn in lessons and at home.
The game will include the following: Definitions, what it is?, why it occurs?,
Symptoms, statistics and how to prevent it. You can include hand outs for extra
information.
Compete for the best game!!
