3. Justify your answer: Why might an athlete require a different nutritional profile than a sedentary person?
4. What might happen if a diet is chronically deficient in a specific vitamin?
5. Analyse the impact of food processing on nutritional value.
6. Design a meal plan for a specific lifestyle, justifying your choices with scientific evidence.
