Nutritional Foundations.
• As you progress through each module in this term, you will come to this Nutritional Foundations document and add a subtitle for the Foundation you’ve just covered. Here’s what it will look like with all of the needed subtitles:
•o Properly Prepared, Nutrient Dense Diet
•o Digestion
•o Blood Sugar Regulation
•o Fatty Acids
•o Mineral Balance
•o Hydration
• For each Nutritional Foundation you cover, you will write an answer addressing the following prompt:
• How would you explain to a client what this nutritional Foundation is, and why it is important to overall health?
• When you finish the written response portion of this project, you will have the one Nutritional Foundations document with your six prompt answers, explaining each Foundation and its importance to a client.
• For the Digestion: Write an answer for the nutritional Foundation of a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet covered in Term 1 and another answer for the nutritional Foundation of Digestion.

Part 2 – Product
Once you have developed a firm understanding of each Foundation on its own, the second part of the project asks you to go deeper and describe what the six Nutritional Foundations are holistically and how they work together to support proper function and overall health of the body. Instead of a written response, you will communicate this information in a visual, shareable format that can be given to clients as a tool to help them understand the approach you will use as an NTP to support their goals.
Topic/Prompt:
Create a project that educates a client about the six nutritional Foundations and how they are used by an NTP in a holistic way to support proper function and overall health in the body.
The six nutritional Foundations to cover in this project are: Diet, Digestion, Blood Sugar Regulation, Fatty Acids, Mineral Balance, and Hydration
Important Note: Your project must be one holistic project that covers all six Foundations as a unit, not six individual projects that you save as one file.
Available Format Types:
• Blog post
• Infographic/e-book
• Creative interpretation
Action Items for Digestion:
• Consider which of the available format types you want to use for the project.
• You can start making some notes about Diet and notes about Digestion that you want to include or start to build out those sections of the project now, but you’ll want to continue to refine the content with each module as you will discover more connections and synergy between all the Foundations as you advance to the next module.
• You will work on your project to include details about each new Nutritional Foundation as you cover a new module.
• Remember, you are building one project that helps a client understand the nutritional Foundations as a unified approach to wellness—it should be one cohesive project, not six isolated elements assembled together.
• You will hold on to and build on your project each module and submit the final product in Sleep, Stress, and Movement.
