Context

This assessment is aimed at assessing your understanding of a dietary model selected by your Learning Facilitator: how it aligns with holistic nutrition principles and the role that it may play in contributing to a person’s health and wellbeing. In completing this assessment, you will have demonstrated your understanding of the importance of nutrition in common diets and identify the potential therapeutic benefits and possible disadvantages to health and wellbeing of the selected diet. This assessment requires you to critically analyse published literature about the selected diet, further advancing your skills at sourcing, identifying and translating reliable and credible health information. You will further develop your critical writing skills, as you are expected to express your ideas in a coherent and logical manner. You are being assessed on skills and knowledge that will prepare you for clinical research, your ability to research quality information, and to critically analyse, interpret and apply this information in a clinical health-based setting.
