Results and Analysis

By: Daniela Bravo Tobar Nutrition is very important because your life depends on it. If

you have a good nutrition, your life will be healthy and you won´t be sick, but if you do not have a good nutrition, your life will not be healthy and you will have lots of problems. In order to know how healthy our community is, the students of the American School of Quito started a project in their technology class called “Nutrition In Our Community”. It all started with a survey that each student ad to create in groups and send it to ten people by e-mail in their contact list. A week after that, they got all the results together and analyzed them. Now they are building a magazine with all the results so that everyone can know if people in our community are healthy or not. In this article, you will find all the results with graphs to help you notice how nutrition in our community is.
