Science Homework Help. Columbia Southern University Biology Macronutrients and Cancer Risk Discussion
I don’t understand this Biology question and need help to study.
Question #1
In this unit, you learn about macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Many people have suggested that focusing on one macronutrient at the expense of others would be a superior diet. Thus, we have high-protein diets, high-carbohydrate diets, and high-fat diets. On the flip side, we also have low-fat diets, low-carb diets, and so on. In addition to these, there are other versions such as a gluten-free diet (which is necessary for those truly allergic to wheat), a vegan diet, a raw food diet, and even a blood type diet that is based on particular blood types. Reflect on your eating habits. Which type of diet do you prefer? Why do you prefer this type of diet to other diet options?
Question #2
What can you do to lower your risk for getting cancer? Look at table 6.1 on page 110 of the textbook for ideas, but you do not need to limit your discussion to the four behaviors listed in the table. You can also access websites, such as cancer.gov and cancer.org, to determine what other risk factors might be applicable to your situation, especially if you are female and breast cancer is a concern or if you are male and prostate cancer is a concern.
