Case Study

Read the case study and answer the following questions.

John and Lauren Barnes have recently married. The young couple want advice on what factors they should
consider important to their health and to the health of their future children. Both individuals work full-time jobs.
John sometimes works overtime, and Lauren attends school at night. Neither has time most evenings to sit
down to a regular meal; usually, they both grab a bite to eat on the run at some fast-food restaurant. Since the
wedding, both have gained about 8 pounds. They are saving some money, and with company advancements and
moving up the corporate ladder, they hope to have a large enough “nest egg” to start their family.
