DIETARY ASSESSMENT 2Dietary Assessment1.Everyday dietary tracking of nutrition is beneficial in awareness creation for and analysis and can be helpful in influencing balanced food intake. Documenting regularnutritional intake can be challenging for people who are not used to keeping track of the things they eat[ CITATION NBa13 \l 1033 ]. After a few days of trial and error, however, the practice becomes part of everyday life, and hence it becomes easier for people to practice healthy food intake[ CITATION Ale13 \l 1033 ]. The dietary analysis class activity is an essential exercise because it teaches vigilance in the lack of nutrients and vitamins that lead to various diseases. According to the subject, the presence of Hispanics in America is a great game changer in the way that food is prepared and appreciated in the American culture[ CITATION Dan153 \l 1033 ]. The majority of the American workforce is composed of immigrants and Hispanics make up some of the greatest numbers of immigrants in the United States. The amount of work required in the food and drink preparation process together with their rich culture regarding food and drink are some of the main factors that make them the most suitable to satisfy the American population.2.Deficiencies in nutrients and vitamins included Linoleic, Vitamin A, B and E, Choline, foliate, linoleic acid, magnesium, Potassium, and Calcium. Fiber is an essential part of the diet[ CITATION Chr02 \l 1033 ]. Fiber cannot be digested but helps in keeping the stool together for natural ejection. Fiber is otherwise known as complex carbohydrate whose recommended intake is up to 38 grams in a day[ CITATION KBo17 \l 1033 ]. Low fiber consumption leads to the risk of developing hemorrhoids, constipation, colon cancer, and diverticular disease.

Potassium assists in the normal operation of the muscles and the nerves[ CITATION Gon12 \l 1033 ]. The brain and heart muscles depend on the presence of Potassium for proper operation. Reduced levels of potassium in the body lead to constipation, cramps, hypertension, muscle cramps, and muscle weakness[ CITATION Hoc16 \l 1033 ].Iron is an essential component in learning and cognitive functions of the body and hence deficiency in memory and other cognitive abilities. Iron is significant for the process of oxygen circulation in the body. 4.A decrease in the level of mineral iron concentration in the body leads to the formation of the low level of red blood cells in the body. Low rates of red blood cells lead to decrease in Hemoglobin concentration[ CITATION Hoc16 \l 1033 ]. The decrease in oxygen levels in the body can lead to anemia, tiredness, and paleness. Magnesium is an essential component of the muscle and nerve function, which include the heart function, and the role of clotting in blood immunity[ CITATION Mic101 \l 1033 ]. It has well been documented over the years that Americans have shifted to eating more outside their homes and cooking less at home[ CITATION Mic101 \l 1033 ]. The reason why fast food restaurants have become a success in the United States is that of the culture that is predominant in the United States. The reason why food plays a crucial role is that in all that man does he must eat not only to keep alive but also to keep healthy and strong[ CITATION Mic101 \l 1033 ]. Of so much influence has food become that some cultures judge the character of someone based on how they behave in hunger and the face of food.
