Unit overview
The food needs of individuals are determined by a number of factors. In this unit, students will explore a range of special food needs and the means to satisfy these. Students will also plan and prepare safe and nutritious foods to meet specific food needs in various circumstances.
Foods contain nutrients required for healthy bodily development and functions. While we need to include each nutrient in our daily intake, different people have different dietary needs. For these most are due to a particular stage of the lifecycle they are at. For others, they are special considerations.
The circumstances that lead to special food needs include;
1. Stages of the Life Cycle
2. Health Status Issues
3. Lifestyle Choices
4. Cultural Influences and Religious Beliefs
5. Logistical Considerations

HEALTH STATUS ISSUES
ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES
Food Allergies and Intolerances affect nearly everyone at some point in their life. You may have had an unpleasant reaction to something you've eaten and wondered whether you have an allergy or intolerance to that particular food. Such reactions, if severe enough, can cause devastating illness and, in some cases, can be fatal.

diet-related disorders
The body relies on the nutrients it gets from food to keep it running smoothly and in good health. In today's society, the abundance of overprocessed, high-calorie, low-nutrient foods is responsible for a range of illnesses and diseases. Although a lack of food and nutrition is commonly associated with poor diet-related illnesses, overconsumption is just as much of a problem.
