High Risk Nutritional Practices Health care providers understand that food is needed for physical survival, however to provide culturally competent care it is imperative to have a broader comprehension of the meaning of food to a culture. (Purnell, 2013). The types of food eaten, the order they are ingested, and avoidance of certain foods are often interwoven in the religious and spiritual beliefs of specific ethnic groups. Understanding these concepts provides the knowledge needed for comprehensive care as well an identification of factors that may predispose a population to poor health related to nutrition (Sagar, 2014). Health care providers must be cautious about making assumptions, as favorite foods or food preparation choices do not always indicate a cultural tradition but are often driven out of access and affordability.…

What is the ketogenic diet? Simply put, the ketogenic diet is any diet that "forces" the body into a state of ketosis, and in which the energy consumed fats instead of carbohydrates. Proper ketogenic diet requires the consumption of large quantities of fat, protein and a sufficient amount of very small quantities of carbohydrates. Our bodies are used to convert carbohydrates into glucose, which the body uses for energy.
