Title page and references page must be included but will not count towards slide minimum.
3) Research a company that sells either fitness or health and wellness products designed to reduce stress. Develop a critique about the quality of the product and credibility of the claims. Be sure to address the following questions in the narrative:

4) Kaitlyn F. is a 21-year-old woman who has taken up running in an effort to lose weight and improve her endurance. She runs 3 to 4 days a week for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. At the store, she finds a sports “energy gel” labeled as a “natural performance enhancer.” Each 1.1-ounce package provides 100 calories, 40 milligrams sodium, 30 milligrams potassium, and 25 grams total carbohydrates. The directions read: “For best results, consume one package 15 minutes before activity, one to two packages per hour during activity, and one package immediately after activity to aid in recovery. Always follow consumption with water.”
Kaitlyn is trying to determine whether she needs this product for her training regimen.
- Based on information in this chapter, what main ingredient in this product would Kaitlyn expect to be a “natural performance enhancer”? Explain.
- Considering her current level of activity, what is the most important nutrient that Kaitlyn needs to consume before her workout?
- How might Kaitlyn decide whether she needs this type of product during her workouts?
- What ingredient in this product might “aid in recovery” after physical activity?
Assignments will be graded on content, organization, development, formatting, word count, and mechanics. See the “UAV Assignment Rubric” in the Course Resource module for more information.
- What effect might this product have on Kaitlyn’s weight-loss efforts if she uses it as directed?
- Given the length of her workouts, explain how Kaitlyn can easily replenish glucose and electrolytes after exercising without using a special product.
