Describe the factors that affect elastic recoil, and explain why the lungs do not normally collapse

REFLECTION #3: Due Date: Nov. 8, 2023 Total: 14 marks BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The effect of diet on cardiovascular disease has generated tremendous interest in the field of nutritional sciences. While we know that diet is an important risk factor in CVD, there is much debate about what is the "best" diet for heart health. Traditionally, diets high in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol have been linked to heart disease and atherosclerosis Compiled results of recent studies have led to the following conclusions: 1. Intake of diets high in saturated fat were associated with a lower risk of total mortality. 2. Increased risk of cardiovascular mortality was associated with intake of diets high in carbohydrates. (ex: >50% calories from CHO) These findings are contradictory to the current guidelines recommended by Canada’s Food Guide. Based on lecture notes, textbook readings and today’s class discussion answer the questions below and submit as a word doc or PDF. Remember, keep your answers brief and to the point (1/2 page to 1 page max for total assignment). Question 1: (8 marks) What are 4 distinct factors you would want to know about these studies and the findings to help interpret this data? For each factor briefly indicate what you want to know and why? (How would having this data help explain the result?) (2 marks/factor- To get full marks – don’t just state the factor, make sure to provide your rationale) Question 2: (6 marks) Assume that you have been asked to be part of the panel of experts responsible for the next revision of Canada’s Food Guide. Based on the information cited above in the Background as well as the factors you discussed in Question 1, would you keep the CFG 2019 recommendations for fat and CHO consumption the same or would you change them? What would you change/not change and why? For CHO-> Indicate the main recommendations you would change or keep the same. Provide a rationale for your decision (3 marks) For FAT-> Indicate the main recommendations you would change or keep the same. Provide the rationale for your decision (3 marks). Show less
