Assignment: As a Registered Dietitian, you have been invited to a “Lunch and
Learn” program at a very large law firm. The firm must make a decision about
which company they will select for a year long beverage contract. The lawyers
have three choices: water, Gatorade or Powerade. Out of the 55 attorneys that
will be attending your presentation, 32 of them workout regularly, about 60
minutes, five days per week.
The title of your presentation is: "Water: An Overlooked Essential Nutrient."
The firm has requested that you address all of the questions mentioned in the
introductory paragraph while creating a handout or essay that
compares/contrasts water, Gatorade and Powerade. The following areas must be
addressed: Introduction (Must include 3 things: 1) introduction of who you are 2) why you
are giving presentation, 3) role of water in the body and an overview of the
importance of hydration especially in relation to exercise). Daily recommendations (What are they for water? Do the sports beverages
have daily recos? If not, explain how one should use them). Nutrient content (Explain what ingredients/nutrients are found in each beverage;
due to the fact that there are so many sports beverages to choose from, make a
general statement about ingredients found in them). And, do not forget that there
are nutrients found in water and you must highlight a few of them and explain
their purpose. Varieties (Include a short statement on the varieties/types of water and do the
same for both of the sports beverages). Cost (Make sure to discuss the cost for all three beverages; Do not include only a
general statement about the cost. Be specific. Advantages of consumption (It is going to be important for you to discuss the
advantages of water over the sports beverages, the sports beverages over water
and the sports beverages over one another. Make sure to highlight at least 3
areas; Must also include at least one research statement or specific scientific
reference within this section. For example you could say “The Institute of Medicine
recommends sports beverages over water when exercise exceeds blah, blah,
blah”). Safety levels (Make sure to touch on safety for all three beverages; Do not
include a general statement only; Be specific and think about safety from all
angles (overhydration, specific ingredients, health concerns, etc). Disadvantages of consumption (It is going to be important for you to discuss
the disadvantages of water over the sports beverages, the sports beverages over
water and the sports beverages over one another. Make sure to highlight at least 3 areas; Must also include at least one research statement or specific scientific
reference within this section. For example you could say “The Institute of Medicine
discourages sports beverages when exercise is less than blah, blah, blah”). Conclusion (Must include 5 things: 1) a specific recommendation of one of the
three beverages, 2, 3 and 4) Must include one reason a piece as to why you have
selected the particular beverage. Feel free to take some of the language that you
have used in your overviews and specific areas and reiterate them but you must
state 3 specific reasons as to why you are selecting the beverage that you are and
lastly, 5) you must include a closing to the essay. When you comparing/contrasting the beverages against one another you
are to list details like “water contains minerals and the sports drinks
contain minerals and carbohydrates” but you also need to interpret this
information and explain what this means to the lawyers as well. For
example, your handout could read “water contains sodium and calcium
and the sports beverages contains potassium, chloride and
carbohydrates, but the nutrients in water may have variability due to
the location of where it is from and so, the sports beverages are a much
more consistent source of nutrients”.
