Answer to Question 1

Three types of nutrition education approaches used by various agencies and organizations include a focus on information dissemination, behavior change, and an environmental change approach.
1) An information dissemination approach to nutrition education emphasizes knowledge acquisition, increase in nutrition awareness, and how-to skills such as food preparation skills, nutrition label reading, and identification of food groups and sources of nutrients.
2) A behavior change approach to nutrition education deliberately incorporates healthful behavioral change as a primary outcome of the intervention. Psychosocial factors related to behavior are often addressed such as behavioral capabilities and self-efficacy. Behavioral modification strategies are implemented and can involve self-assessments, identification of healthful eating behaviors, goal-setting, incentives, and reinforcements.
3) An environmental change or public policy approach to nutrition education focuses on the physical, political, and socioeconomic environment impacting health behaviors. Strategies may be aimed at consciousness-raising and empowerment of individuals for community activism to change food-related public policy and the environment.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
