...& M.J. Stampfer, 2002). This guide was intended to educate the average consumer as to what they should be eating to improve their health and their body’s functions. Today, with advances in technology, scientists are realizing that abiding by the portions described in the food pyramid may not be the best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Armed with this new knowledge they have revised the food pyramid to help you optimize your body’s potential. The food groups in the new pyramid contain the following: 1. Vegetables and Fruits/ Healthy Fats and Oils/ Whole Grains, 2. Nuts, Seeds, Beans and Tofu/ Fish, Poultry, and Eggs, 3. Dairy or Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements, and 4. Red Meat, Butter, and Refined Grains. This essay will explain some of the benefits to sticking to a well rounded diet that follows the recommended servings laid out in the food pyramid. Vegetables, fruits, healthy fats and oils, and whole grains are the foundation of the new food pyramid. It is recommended that you consume at least 5 servings per day from this group. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. The antioxidants and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables help protect against certain types of cancer and other diseases. Healthy fats and oils such as Omega 3 “help promote normal body function, [and] even promote good emotional health, weight loss, and lower your chances of developing cardiovascular problems” (S. Goodwin). Whole grains contain fiber as well. Eating...

...grain-based (corn or soy) diets cause numerous health problems for cattle, creating unhealthy cattle and unhealthy meat. Two areas of concern are the nutrition and health aspects of grain-fed beef and the risk of E. coli. It is believed by many that pasture-based cattle contribute to healthy eating. Using our grasslands, which is a natural process, creates a foundation for raising grass-fed cattle (Clancy & Pollan, 2006). An animal’s diet can profoundly influence the nutrient content of its products. In a comparison, beef from grain-fed cattle only contain 15 to 50 percent as much omega-3s and are higher in calories and fat content, specifically saturated fat. As herbivores, cows are intended to graze. Omega-3s are produced from eating grass or leaves of plants which contain 20 times more vitamin E than corn or soy (Pollan, 2006 and Robinson, n.d., Eatwild). Cattle that are fed grain and confined to feedlots are prone to disease. They develop bloat, diarrhea, ulcers, liver disease, and weakened immune systems. According to a study (Greener Pastures: How Grass-fed Beef and Milk Contribute to Healthy Eating, 2006), an average amount of heart-healthy EPA/DHA in a serving of grass-fed steak is about 35 mg, while steak from non-pastured cattle had only 18 mg per serving. These days it seems like everything we eat can potentially contribute to causing cancer such as certain oils. Corn and safflower oil contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids (cancer-promoting fats)....

...Dog food is great By T. J. Dunn, Jr., DVM "What is the best food to feed a dog?" Every day veterinarians are asked that question by dog owners. It's a sincere question because most dog owners want to feed the very best to their furry friends. Good health begins with proper nutrition, regardless of price or convenience of acquisition. Please understand that the entire discussion on this page relates to healthy dogs with no kidney, thyroid, food allergy or other abnormal conditions. Also, the content of this page is my opinion regarding the "best" dry food and how to determine what you think is "best" to feed dogs. A big reason why it i is strictly an opinion, there is no single answer to the question "What is the best diet to feed a dog?" Or if there is an answer it is, "It depends". Over the past 37 years I have been examining dogs and cats in my practices I have made it a point to ask the owner "What diet are you feeding?" I have gotten all sorts of answers but in every case I relate the owner's response to what I am seeing in the patient. And over the years my suggestions regarding what to feed have changed. Originally I took the pet food manufacturer's declarations as fact -- that an assortment of "Complete and Balanced" pet foods were perfectly nourishing because that wording was not legally permitted on pet food labels unless feeding trials demonstrated its veracity. I eventually discovered I was mistaken in the belief that any "Complete and Balanced"...

...Normal Resize Large | Print | Share | Swimming icon Michael Phelps plans to retire after the London Games. GETTY IMAGES Call it Michael Phelps 2.0. Long before Phelps won his eighth gold medal in Beijing, his agent, Peter Carlisle, was developing a post-career plan for the swimmer. The time to put it to use will come later this week when Phelps pulls himself out of the pool after competing at an Olympics for the last time. The plan is designed to potentially fulfill Carlisle’s belief that the swimmer could make more than $100 million in his lifetime and further his aim of increasing interest in competitive swimming worldwide. To do so, Carlisle believes Phelps will need to continue signing endorsements, promoting his foundation, traveling to international markets and developing new lines of business like the Michael Phelps Skills Center, a remote training system being piloted in Maine. Octagon's Peter Carlisle has a goal of Phelps earning $100 million in his lifetime. SHANA WITTENWYLER “The goal is still there,” Carlisle, head of Octagon’s Olympic and action sports division, said of the career earnings target he set in 2008. “Just do the math over time. He’s young. He’s not going anywhere. People aren’t going to forget who he is. It’s burned in their memories.” Transitioning an athlete into retirement comes with a host of challenges, and an Olympic athlete can face even more. Phelps, a four-time Olympian, has the upside of being recognizable worldwide...

...Case Study Two: HTN, CKD, & Hypothyroidism Managing Co-Morbidities in Primary Care Primary care providers treat many patients with co-morbidities. It is important for primary care providers to utilize the most current evidence-based research and guidelines to treat and manage patients with co-morbidities in order to reduce risk factors and improve overall health. The following case study will be utilized to apply current guidelines for the treatment and management of hypertension (HTN), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypothyroidism including patient education, monitoring, and clinical end points.

...Healthful Eating and Exercises Pamela Caldwell COM/150 July 9, 2011 Susan Kohanek Healthful Eating and Exercises Here in the United States a large majority of Americans do not eat healthy and do not exercise on a regular basis. America has a fast food restaurant in almost every neighborhood and most of them do not serve healthy foods. According to the news, they stated that 70% of Alabamian was obese. Alabama was the second fattest state in the nation. Mississippi was number one in the nation. More people are eating out instead of at home, and they are living sedentary lifestyle. Healthful eating and exercise can combat and even help to prevent certain chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks and strokes, which also promotes weight loss and improves sleep. Eating healthy is not hard to do. Just like cleanliness and good hygiene, healthy eating can become a habit. As a person maybe overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, a diet in term of color, variety and freshness can be chosen. Start slow and make changes to eating habit over time. Making small steps like, adding a salad to a person’s diet once daily or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking can become a good habit (Kemp, & Smith, June 2011). Every change made to improve the diet matters. A person does not have to completely eliminate foods to have a healthy diet. The long-term goal is to feel good, have more energy and reduce the risk of cancer...

...Content A fraternity (Latin frater : "brother") is a brotherhood, although the term sometimes connotes a distinct or formal organization and sometimes a secret society. A fraternity (or fraternal organization) is an organized society of men associated together in an environment of companionship and brotherhood; dedicated to the intellectual, physical, and social development of its members. History There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and in the Mithraic Mysteries of ancient Rome. Analogous institutions developed in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church. Some were groups of men and women who were endeavoring to ally themselves more closely with the prayer and activity of the Church; Others were groups of tradesmen, which are more commonly referred to as guilds. These later confraternities evolved into purely secular fraternal societies, while the ones with religious goals continue to be the format of the modern Third Orders affiliated with the mendicant orders. The development of modern fraternal orders was especially dynamic in the United States, where the freedom to associate outside governmental regulation is expressly sanctioned in law. There have been hundreds of fraternal organizations in the United States, and at the beginning of the 20th century the number of memberships equaled the number of adult males. (Due to multiple memberships, probably only 50%...

...parents feel they can save precious time at the drive-through while lower-income families believe that the bucket of chicken and the deep-dish pizzas are saving them money. While the former might be true, the latter is an illusion. Most fast foods are polar opposites of healthy foods. Fast food contains foods that are high in fats, sugars, and starches. These ingredients have almost no nutritional value to the human body. Most of all foods available to us, through fast food are processed and high in MSG. MSG is a concentrated salt added to foods to enhance flavor, this results in unwanted body fat; which can lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes among other health problems. Healthy foods, by contrast, are high in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and protein, and they promote energy, good health and longevity. Health experts recommend that people eat primarily whole plant based foods which includes: vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and grains with low to moderate Trans fats as possible. Instead of enjoying the healthy fruits and vegetables Americans tend to...

...Human NutritionProfessor Chitra Wendakoon | Rheumatoid Arthritis | By Daniel Schramm | Schramm 2/24/2013 | What is Rheumatoid Arthritis? Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that we do not get from a virus or human contact. The disease is our own body’s immune system turned against its self. Your immune system is an assembly of cells and organs intended to safeguard your body from external intruders. Your structure comprises the spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, bone marrow and white blood cells. All these work collectively to fight off germs and infections that can harm you or make you sick. When your immune system is not working properly, it sees your own body as an enemy which it attacks, therefore generating a potential illness with an auto immune disease such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). There are several types of auto immune diseases that can upset the body; more notably, the heart, lungs kidneys, brain as well as the joints. Since the 1930′s researchers have been exploring the link between diet and arthritis. We continue to hear claims that special diets, foods and supplements may help to cure or alleviate symptoms of arthritis, but most claims are unproven. Many experts speculate that claims of nutritional remedies and cures with food or dietary supplements are related to the “placebo affect”. The placebo effect is the patient’s perception of improved symptoms and well-being, resulting from new therapy, regardless of evidence for actual...
