Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) Introduction Historically, the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) has been the standard method of measuring obesity among the adults. The standards of BMI were created using population samples, which were calculated from the measurement of the weight and height of Caucasians. Recent research has proved that BMI alone cannot be an appropriate way of measuring obesity. The main reason for this is the differences in ethnicity and the genetic make-up of individuals. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has evaluated the trend of the BMI and the result is that the African ...

Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living. Nonetheless, many interventions have been ineffective because they often fail to incorporate environmental factors and system-wide policies that influence the ability of schools, families, and children to alter behavior (Coleman et al., 2012). Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...

Family Rights

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

Clinical Question What would be the effect of competitive food and beverage (CF&B) policies on student weight outcomes in comparison to the students who have not followed the CF&B policies and those who have followed some other policy according to which some of the competitive foods are available to students?

The British Isles, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is packed with mouth-watering and sumptuous food varieties. Countries that comprise the British Isles have followed entirely different paths. While Britain's cuisine has been shaped by its history of colonization, the cuisines of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales have predominantly developed as a weak/peasant cuisine that emphasized on survival than celebration. Despite different paths followed by these various countries, many aspects tie the modern day cuisine, and there are several classic dishes that are common to all nations. The Celtic connection has made many ties and links between the ...

Question 1

The statement made by Gary Hirshberg means that consumers do not know the power they possess in influencing the type of products sold in stores. Stores take note of all the products that their customers are buying. Based on this information, stores understand what their customers want. As such, stores will try as much as possible to align with their customer preferences and stock the products that are most appealing to their customers. I agree with Hirshberg’s statement because most consumers think that the purchases they make are negligible and cannot have any significant effect on what the ...

PepsiCo remains a leading global brand, specializing in the making of packaged drinks and foods. Commonly recognizable PepsiCo products include Fritos, Cheetos, Lay’s, and Pepsi, all similar due to either their high fat content, high salt content or sugar, all unhealthy options in flavoring food. However, consumers are on an increasingly health conscious diet, where high fat, sodium, and sugary foods are shunned for healthier alternatives. It is the consideration that PepsiCo Chief Executive Indra Nooyi seeks the transformation of the company into a healthy foods juggernaut. Commitment to the healthy foods cause has witnessed the company’s ...

I take roughly three meals every day with a small serving of an extra snack to complement at the end of the day. The size and portions of my serving may differ depending on how hungry I may be but overall I try to maintain a healthy eating habit with some elements being consistent like water and a fruit and vegetable serving to ensure I have not only very essential micronutrients but also non-nutrient elements like roughage to ease digestion and bowel movement while avoiding conditions like indigestion.

1. Exercising regularly is good for health. However, one should not be erratic about it i.e. one should have a plan and stick to it. Fitness also includes the food intake.

At times an overweight person will not be prepared to expose himself to others in a fitness centre. However, one should realise that it is to change this very situation that one need to keep oneself fit. As a result, one becomes more confident about ...

Philosophy and the Walking Dead: The Rules of “The Walking Dead”

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is the story of a particular group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse, led by Rick Grimes, which has become one of the most popular shows on television. It was adapted for television from the comic books of the same title written by Robert Kirkman (Yuen, 2016). The show asks many questions within the story regarding life and death, what it means to be alive and what does it means to be human? It presents ethical conundrums and creates the basis for philosophical debate. There are priorities in the apocalyptic world, food, water, shelter, ...

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive. Despite this the disease did not make itself known until the twentieth century. However, once the virus revealed itself only three major outbreaks have occurred. There were two in 1976 and one which took started in 2014 (CDC, 2015). The latest outbreak has been the longest and worst, effecting numerous countries such as, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia and Senegal in West Africa (CDC, 2015).

Philosophy

A logical fallacy, in a broad sense, can be viewed as an error of reasoning. A fallacy is committed when a person tries to influence another person to take a particular position, based on flawed logic. Fallacious reasoning restrains people from thinking critically and knowing the truth, hence, making then susceptible to constant manipulation. As such, it is important to have the ability to recognize logical fallacies in the thought processes of other people to avoid making similar mistakes. In this paper, I will focus on one of the 17 logical fallacies that I provided in my initial presentation-argumentum ...

Zinczenko in his article argues about two girls who had sued McDonald's for growing fat after consistently eating from the food outlet. His (Zinczenko) thesis is that the world should not blame the girls for eating from the fast food restaurant and growing fat but rather their parents' who give them money and the changed world where they cannot access fresh fruits such as grapefruits. In his work, Zinczenko argues that the girls often went home to find their working parents away and the only option they are left with is going to a fast food outlet. He writes ...

The workplace is considered as the best place to promote the health and well-being. The reason is that; there is a large elderly population that can be reached by the health messages. Research shows, 45 percent of the workforce come from groups that are traditionally hard to get the health messages and proper diets (Johansson, & Partanen, 2002). The groups come from low socio-economic areas thus disadvantaged with health messages. Following many statistics showing that these populations are at risk of developing diseases like diabetes, stroke, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, the stakeholders have an interest in health status well-being of ...

The city had also experienced different wars during the 1800s, including the Battle of Baltimore, which was one of the significant historical events of the city (United States History, n.d.).

Most people have only heard of the rhetoric concepts of ethos, pathos, logos, Telos and Kairos, but they do not know what they mean. These terms are used mainly by Aristotle (book writer/author) in explaining how rhetoric functions. In ancient Greek, the works corresponded with rhetorical situations (Aristotle 33). The terms are used in advertising, especially in persuading the audience. The three common basic words used in persuading are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is referred as credible or the ethical appeal (Aristotle 89). Therefore, it means convincing people based on the character of the individual, for example, in ...

“We are what we eat; in the modern, western world, we are made more and, more into what we eat, whenever forces we have no control over persuade us that our consumption and our identity are linked ( Mintz, 1985, 211).” In his book, Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History, Sidney. W.

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

After conducting an analysis and assessment of corresponding scientific literature and recent updates in the news, it is possible to make a statement that the concern of sustainability and environmental protection is a rather urgent one on the international scales. At the same time, insignificant attention has been paid to the effect, made by the planned events on both built and natural environment. For instance, such events usually involve creation of the new infrastructure in the locations, which may be referred as environmentally-sensitive ones. In such cases, there is a need of transporting ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

Introduction

A community health assessment is a vital practice that determines the various aspects that either promotes or deter sustainable health practices. As such, it is essential to analyze the community for the people's needs, the available resources that could be used in providing a solution, the assets in the community as well as the strengths that the particular community exhibits and could be used in facilitating the problem-solving process. In this respect, the paper shows an analysis of Riverside County, California for these elements that could help identify and solve the health issues that affect the county.

Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of fat, such that it poses potential health risks to the affected individual (Ogden, Carroll, Fryar & Flegal, 2015). The most commonly used approach for classifying the relation between a person’s weight and his/her health is the body mass index, BMI. The BMI calculates the weight of a person based on that person’s height. Age and gender are factors that are considered when calculating the BMI. Waist circumference is also combined with the BMI approach in diagnosing obesity. Obesity predisposes the patients to other health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, ...

The culture shock that I would like to discuss is about the Japanese manners in eating. One of my friends visited a Japanese restaurant once and he told me he was shocked by the way Japanese eat. He said that, unlike Western and Middle Eastern countries, the Japanese eat noisily. Japanese are noisy in two ways. First, they tend to talk a lot while eating. Usually Middle Eastern and Western people eat silently and if they would talk, the words would have to be uttered mildly. But the Japanese are the complete opposite. They would even laugh and talk ...

Ecological footprint refers to the impact of a person’s lifestyle or that of a community on the environment, which is expressed in terms of the amount of land necessary to sustain their natural resources use (Rosenberg, 1997). My results were 6.71, which means I need to reduce my ecological footprint even further with the right lifestyle choices. I realized that our lifestyles harm our environment more than we realize. The basic actions in our daily lives such as driving to school or eating meat have an adverse effect on the environment. If everyone had a similar lifestyle as ...

According to the two videos, about 42% of junior female athletes competing in aesthetic sports such as gymnastics suffer from eating disorder. Further, they show that more than 11 million people in America have an eating disorder (Gslayen). Primarily, from the videos, it can be observed that most of the people who suffer from eating disorder are in some form of a weight management plan. In as much as the female athletes in the aesthetics are more affected by this condition, male athletes are also affected as well. The videos state that about 33% of the male athletes in ...

Ovarian Cancer is cancer that begins in the ovaries, the reproductive organ found in females. According to Medical News Today (2016), the majority of ovarian cancer will begin in the outer lining, or epithelium, of the ovary. The germ cells can also form tumors as can the stromal tumors. The germ and stroma are the two other main cell types found in the ovaries (“Ovarian Cancer,” n.d.). Other forms of ovarian cancer include ovarian low malignant potential tumor (OPMPT) and low malignant potential (LMP) (Green, 2016; Nordqvist, 2016). After a discussion of the symptoms, diagnosis, staging, and prognosis of ...

Obesity is becoming a medical condition of major concern which requires immediate action by Public Health professionals. Renowned health workers are of the view that it is high time that the government takes a stand to curb obesity. But the ethical dilemma in this regard appears when it comes to the point that if onlookers should see what others are eating or if someone else should bother about the weight or eating habits of a person. These questions bring us to the point where a conflict arises between well being and freedom (Clark, 2013). A major ethical dilemma in ...

Food is important in every family structure. Food is something that all human beings need to live, but it is also something that humanity as a whole uses to build friendships and bonds. Although every culture places extreme importance on food, different cultures express cultural bonds with traditions and practices regarding food, community, and eating. In the Middle East, traditional practices of preparing food and eating food are extremely important within the family structure— and many of these practices remain the same across the cultures of the Middle East, regardless of the country.

California’s “third city” San Diego is oftentimes forgotten between San Francisco’s foggy weather, Golden Gate Bridge and tech industry connections; and Los Angeles’ sports teams, movie stars, and of course, Hollywood. To be sure, what San Diego is popularly known for, namely its beaches, its great weather, and its zoo, are hardly the attractions that provoke excitement and “must go” desire. Rather, the city’s attractions they seem to focus on rest and relaxation. Indeed, that is probably why San Diego is one of the top cities in the nation for conferences and conventions. Indeed, one of ...

Introduction

Organizations are systems that consist of highly integrated groups that aim at accomplishing shared goals. Organization inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes need to be handled with business professionalism. As a result, all organizations need ethics to ensure that they achieve their objectives without being at loggerhead with the law. Statistics proves that managing ethics in businesses holds a tremendous benefit for managers and leaders both practically and morally. In this essay, I choose a hospital as my organization because hospitals need ethics to understand and manage the diverse values and patients.

The changing face of global procurement

The nature of global business is undergoing rapid change and companies are being forced to move away from traditional thinking to keep their business robust and sustainable (Handfield and Nicholas, 2007).

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”. A well taken case should include complete description of the patient’s mental, physical and social well being. Mere jotting down of physical signs and symptoms may not give the true picture of a disease. As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...
