Lifestyle Analysis

The following checks allow you to adjust your nutrient needs according to aspects of your health and

lifestyle. Again, answer the questions as best you can and work out your score. In most checks the

maximum score is 10, scoring 1 point for each "yes" answer unless otherwise specified. If you score 5

or more in any category, you will need to add the points shown in the chart on p. 244 to your

individual nutrient scores. The easiest way to do this is to circle all the numbers in the corresponding

columns on p. 244. For example, if you scored more than 5 on the Energy check, you would circle all the

numbers in the energy column on p. 244.

Some checks are either "yes" or "no." If you answer "yes," circle the numbers in the relevant

columns on p. 244.
