Abstract.

The aim of the study was to determine differences in cardiovascular disease (CDV) risk factors in four cross-tabulated sets of body fatness and cardio respiratory fitness in adolescents. The participants included 755 females and 860 males aged 9-15 years from schools in Australia. Subjects were cross tabulated using maximum oxygen consumption and percentage body fat to split the groups to four .In males, differences across the group included blood pressure, triglycerides, high and low density lipid cholesterol but in females the variations were observed in high density lipid cholesterol and blood pressure .In females, variations were seen between high-fat/high-fitness ...

The movement of cholesterol, which is unestrified, is largely due to the activation of the NPC 1 protein. In cases where inactivation of mutation of this protein occurs, one may be suffering from Niemann-Pick type C disease. So what is this disease? Niemann-Pick Type C disease is a serious but rare nuerogenerative disorder. It is very common to children at or approaching adolescence. The disease is estimated to infect one out of every 160,000 children (Patterson 2009). NPC is regarded as a malfunction in the body’s cholesterol metabolism. NPC is also is sometimes referred to as childhood Alzheimer. This ...

Cholesterol is mainly of two types: high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LPL). The first is good cholesterol while the second is the bad cholesterol. Cholesterol plays a big role in the daily functioning of our bodies. This is mainly because it has been known to help make cell membranes. It is also a major composition of the hormones such as estrogen. Production of cholesterol for use in the body occurs in the liver. However, a large percentage of this cholesterol is consumed in people’s diets. Both HDL and LDL are Lipoproteins with a slight difference in structure. In every other essence, ...

Is a High-Coconut Oil diet healthy or Unhealthy?

Coconut contains a high percentage of saturated fat. It is composed of 92% saturated fat, 6% mono-saturated fat, and only 2% polyunsaturated fat. The FDA recommends that less than 10% of an individual’s daily caloric intake must be from saturated fats, an issue that made coconut oil a controversial “health food.” Although Coconut oil contains a high percentage of saturated fat, its molecular structure is different. Coconut oil is composed of 62% Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA), as opposed to other edible substances rich in saturated fats which are composed of a ...

Why Dietary Therapy Works Best for the Treatment of Childhood Obesity

Obesity, one of the diseases affecting many people the world over, is a disease that results from the accumulation of fat in the body. Obesity is measured through determination of the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a ratio of the mass of an individual to the height of the individual (Vaidya, 2006). Vaidya (2006) further asserts that a person with a BMI of more than 25 is normally considered obese. Though with differing pros and cons, there exist many proven therapeutic models for the amelioration of obesity. Dietary Therapy, conventionally known as Dietetic Therapy, presents one of such proven therapeutic techniques.

The Role of Diet in Human Health

The human immune system is highly developed and complex to ensure that it fights with a wide range of microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, particles and other foreign objects that may affect the body in any way. The system is made up of various components within the body, and all are in some relation with each other to ensure that there is an effective immunity against any foreign body capable of causing some pathological conditions in the body. The major components of the human immune system include a group of immune cells such as the T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, memory cells, and ...

The main purpose of the research was to compare, in the same subjects, the cholesterol-lowering potential of a dietary portfolio with that of a statin. Drugs and diet have both been revealed efficient in combating cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. Statins decrease serum cholesterol and are increasingly supported in primary prevention to attain decreases in LDL cholesterol. The evident ineptness of conventional dietary approaches to lessen serum cholesterol by contrast with statins has decreased enthusiasm for diet as a therapeutic alternative. Conversely, newer dietary methods amalgamating foods high in constituents that decrease cholesterol (viscous fibres, soy protein, plant sterols, and nuts) might ...

Introduction

In this paper, the article titled “Effect of 2-yn− 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementations on cognitive function in older people: a randomized, double-blind, controlled” by Dangour et al., 2010 will be critically appraised. The article describes a study that sought to establish whether 2-yn− 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation has an effect on cognitive function in older people. In the study, a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was used. Reduced cognitive function and dementia in older people continues to increase and pose a significant challenge to the elderly. Several studies have reported an association between the intakes of ...

Red meat, fatty foods, high-cholesterol, high-salt, high-sugar, and too many calories – these are some of the characteristics of a Western diet (Wollston, 2015). It is a fact that this kind of diet is harmful to one’s health. According to the data from the Multiple Cause of Death Files, 1999-2013, around 610, 000 people die annually because of heart disease (as cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). In addition, around 78.6 million adults in the U.S. are classified as obese. This means that 78.6 million are at risk of deadly ...

Congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy in general terms are complications of heart diseases: a good example is heart attack which damages heart muscles. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the myocardium or heart muscle where the heart loses the ability to beat at a normal rhythm and pump blood normally. Cardiomyopathy and Congestive heart failure result from various complications and heart diseases such as heart valve disorders, arrhythmias and hypertension (Ghosh, 2010, p. 49). Congestive heart failure affects both right and left sides of the heart, although depending on severity of damage and the location, it may affect one side more than the ...

Abstract

Obesity and breast cancer are key health issues for American women. Obesity has approximately reached epidemic percentages in the United States and is more widespread among American women. The breast cancer mortality rate persists to mount in Americans. A review of the recent literature was conducted to bring into focus the relationship of these two health problems as they relate to American women. The review is separated into three subjects, obesity prevalence and incidence, breast cancer incidence and mortality and the relationship between obesity and breast cancer. The two studies reviewed are facts of a connection between obesity and breast ...

Having a healthy eating plan is one of the most vital and significant elements that should be embraced by everyone in order to live longer. Healthy eating plans determine and define the type of food, the quantity and the quality of food one should consume at every given moment. Moreover, a healthy eating plan provides a balance of all nutrients which is very essential in providing the body with the necessary factors needed for growth and also provide the body with energy which is categorized as either maintenance or operational ratios. The maintenance ratio or basic metabolic rate is the energy required ...

Choose a print advertisement that has been used within the last 12 months from a popular American magazine that illustrates what Tuchman terms “pictures of perfections and goals of happiness” and then answer the following questions in a single unified essay. You must include a copy of the ad with your essay.
The advert I have chosen is the Carls Jr Super Star Burger with Cheese. It shows a woman dressed in a seductive form, practically half naked (and a blonde at that) alongside the burger packed with all sorts of ingredients imaginable. The subtitle ‘it’s gonna get messy’ adds a certain crudeness to proceedings ...

Issues addressed by the authors and their relation to the value of customer relations

Porter and Kramer (2011), in their article Creating shared value, pointed out that the assumed trade-off between economic efficiency and social progress may not be real. The authors describe some initiatives from companies and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that bridge the apparent gap between business competitiveness and social advancement, as they define the concept of ‘Shared Value.’
One of the most striking suggestions of the authors is that companies miss business opportunities as they fail to fully consider the most critical customer needs. A clearer example could not be offered as Porter and Kramer (2011) mention food companies focusing on ...

According to the first scenario that is persons who have high cholesterol levels, the characteristics of the sick role does not apply. This is because in as much as the person has high cholesterol levels the person is not sick of heart disorders and therefore not exempted from the normal social roles in society are exempted from the normal social roles in the society (Weitz,2016). Looking at our second case persons who have genes that show high chances of developing breast cancer are not responsible for the condition in which they are. In our second case, the characteristics ...

Introduction

The aim of this is to conduct a critical synthesis on a particular problem that has plagued the society for quite some time. This is the problem of childhood obesity. The most common reasoning that comes to mind when one witnesses an obese child is that these kids must be excessive eaters. In fact, every kid who exhibits obesity tendencies is often thought of as an excessive eater. Is this assumption justified? Is it true that obesity in kids is primarily due to excessive eating especially that of unhealthy foods commonly referred to as “junk food”? The assumption that the ...

Part. 1.
Cognitive decisions vary systematically amongst different individuals. Preferences vary amongst other factors by knowledge and skills, risk and value considerations, avoidance of conflicts, emotions and identities, past experiences, attribute weights, and the tendency to accept choices as described.
Knowledge and skills drawn from past experiences provide problem solving skills and strategies that define the quality of preference. For instance, an accountant may perform poorly in recruitment of interns than how a human resource manager may perform. The decision on intern recruits derives its preference from skills, knowledge or repeated decisions over past experiences or scrutiny of ...

Introduction

Food has always been associated with feelings of happiness and comfort such that people eat not only for sustenance, but also for occasions to celebrate. A birthday is a good reason for binging on food, much as reunions or casual meetings among friends. However, people also turn to food when they feel down and discouraged as well as when one has a low self-esteem. That is the reason why there is such a thing called "comfort food" – the one food that helps in raising and building one's confidence during moments of weaknesses. What happens then when food becomes the source of one's ...
