...Sci241 Final In: Science Sci241 Final SCI/241 FINAL Project Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan January 13, 2012 Ruby Warner In my family we have a lot of major health problems. The one health problem that most of my family members suffer from is High Blood Pressure. “Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood throughout the body. Many factors affect blood pressure, causing it to change from day to day and throughout the day. We are unable to control some of the factors that increase the risk of developing high blood pressure like being African American, over the age of 35, family history of high blood pressure, or having diabetes, gout or kidney disease, but the good news is that there are some that we can change”!(mckinley.illinois.edu/handouts/blood_pressure_factors.html). In order to maintain a good blood pressure I should have an exercise plan that involves my cardiovascular, I need to exercise at least 2.5 hours a week. These exercises include cycling, walking, and swimming. Also I may want to talk with my doctor to make sure my body is healthy before I start my exercise program. Nutrition is very important in helping to control my blood pressure and helping with not getting this because I have a family history. The way I need to do this is eating well balanced meals. Here is a way to do this. “The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan is recommended if your blood pressure is high...

...Final Project: Personal Nutrition Exercise Plan SCI/241 June 17, 2012 Tara Deters Final Project: Personal Nutrition Exercise Plan Over the last several weeks I have analyzed my current diet and exercise habits, as well as reading up on the USDA Food Pyramid Guide and their exercise recommendations. I have taken what I've learned in this class and what I have learned by doing a little research and I was able to personalize a nutrition, diet, and exercise plan for myself. For starters, I will need to take a good look at my current habits and that affect my nutrition and exercise plan. I like to believe I eat pretty healthy, but there is always room in improve. I'm not big on candy or sweets. I also have a hate for milk, so I only drink milk when I eat cereal, and milk is a needed for calcium and vitamin D. I love the sun so I tend to believe I get enough vitamin D from the sun. My diet consist of chicken, salad, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Since I have an office job and the only time that I have to actually get away is during my lunch hour, so I'm not very active at work, so that kill eight hour of my day right there. I like to ride bikes and take walks, and every now and again I will roller blade. I can honestly say that I haven't been doing too much of any of this, as it's been pretty busy for me. These activities I do take part in aren't really stimulating, and my heart rate is raising much, because I do it at my pace not as if I'm racing...

...Final Project Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise Plan Bonnie Williams SCI/241 August 11,2013 Dr. Louis Cohen Final Project Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Exercise Plan I have dieted much of my adult life. Once I get started, I find that it is easy to stick with, to lose the weight that I want to. My weight problem comes from keeping the weight off after I reach my goal. In order for me to start a diet plan, I need to be motivated. I feel that adding an exercise plan to an eating plan will help my progress as well as make me a healthier person. I, as very many Americans live a very busy life-style. I work full time, have a large family, and go to school full time. My biggest challenge is making the time to exercise and sticking with it. During my adult years, my weight has fluctuated in between 125lbs and 200lbs. My height is 5’’8’ I feel the ideal weight for my height is in the 140lbs to 150lbs range. Currently I am 185lbs so getting down to my desired weight is not impossible, but will need me to be prepared to make the time and get myself on the right track. Choosing an eating and exercise plan is not easy, you have to choose goals that are achievable, If you set your schedule and plan to strict, you will grow tired or find the regime to hard to maintain. I have chosen an eating and activity plan that will fit easily into my daily schedule with just a few modifications. Nutrition Plan: My nutrition plan that I plan on implementing will improve my eating...

...Eating Healthy, Nutrition and Exercise Plan Final Project Jayme A. Perales SCI/241 September 15, 2013 Venessa Lee Eating Healthy, Nutrition and Exercise Plan Final Project Over the past nine weeks we have learned what it takes for our bodies to become healthy and maintain that level of healthiness. Our body needs a lot more then exercise to be considered healthy. There are six macro nutrients that we must include in our diet on a daily basis; protein, carbohydrates, lipids, water, vitamins and minerals. These six nutrients will provide energy for our body to perform its daily functions ("What Is A Nutrient?", 2013).. Being physically fit and healthy means that we must incorporate a well-balanced diet that includes all nutrients and daily exercise regimen, if we are missing a piece of the puzzle we will be off balanced causing some sort of negativity in our life. Diet plays a major role in the outcome of living a healthier lifestyle. Whatever we chose to consume on a daily basis will definitely affect our weight and overall health eventually. Depending on the size of individual, sex and amount of physical activity will reflect how many calories a person should intake to function properly. I am a 29 year old man, who is pretty active in the gym and recreational sports so the tracker suggested a 2800 calorie per day diet. I would never come close to the suggested calories per day because I am a bariatric patient. I normally consume around 1,000 to 1,300 calories per...

...Assignment: Human Digestion Summary Suehaydee Figueroa SCI/241 NUTRITION Professor Tiera Pack Lawyer March 21, 2013 The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. In order to use the food we eat, our body has to break the food down into smaller molecules that it can process; it also has to excrete waste. Most of the digestive organs (like the stomach and intestines) are tube-like and contain the food as it makes its way through the body. The digestive system is essentially a long, twisting tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, plus a few other organs (like the liver and pancreas) that produce or store digestive chemicals. The start of the process starts with the mouth. The digestive process begins in the mouth. Food is partly broken down by the process of chewing and by the chemical action of salivary enzymes. These enzymes are produced by the salivary glands and break down starches into smaller molecules. On the way to the stomach: the esophagus - After being chewed and swallowed, the food enters the esophagus. The esophagus is a long tube that runs from the mouth to the stomach. It uses rhythmic, wave-like muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach. This muscle movement gives us the ability to eat or drink even when we're upside-down. In the stomach - The stomach is a large, sack-like organ that churns the...

...Personalized Health Plan SCI/241 Personalized Health Plan It is important for individuals to create a healthy eating plan. It is just as important for the individual to follow that eating plan in order to remain healthy. The food one chooses to eat as well as the level of physical activities performed has a significant impact on a person’s health. I am choosing to implement a healthy eating and physical activity plan into my life. The following plan is one that I feel could be used at any point in my life. It is a simple plan that could be easily followed regardless of most circumstances that may come my way. The health problem I need to target is my bad eating habits. I have concluded that I am guilty of four of the five most common bad eating habits. These habits include eating on the run, eating large portions, skipping meals, and late night eating. These habits are considered to be bad for various reasons. Eating on the run usually happens when a person is busy and does not have the time to cook a healthy meal. The result usually ends in fast and unhealthy meals as the food of choice. Eating on the run also causes a person to eat quickly usually causing one to eat larger portions in order for the hunger to be satisfied. When eating these unhealthy types of foods, especially in large portions, one tends to consume many more calories and much fewer nutrients (3FC, 2011). The second, third, and fourth bad habits, in my case, relate closely to one another...

ISBN 978-0-692-00528-6 Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, Todd S. Ellenbecker, W. Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based...

...total Na+ concentration of all cytoplasmic solutions was adjusted to 30 mM with NaOH, and pH was adjusted to 7.0 with N-methylglucamine (NMG) or HCl. PIP2 liposomes (20–200 nm) were prepared by sonicating 1 mM PIP2 (Boehringer Mannheim) in distilled water. Reconstituted monoclonal PIP2 antibody (Perspective Biosystems, Framingham, MA) was diluted 40-fold into experimental solution. Current–voltage relations of all currents reversed at EK and showed characteristic rectification, mostly owing to the presence of Na+ in FVPP and possibly also residual polyamines. Current records presented (measured at 30 C, −30 mV holding potential) are digitized strip-chart recordings. Purified bovine brain Gbg29 was diluted just before application such that the final detergent (CHAPS) concentration was 5 M. Detergent-containing solution was washed away thoroughly before application of PIP2, because application of phospholipid vesicles in the presence of detergent usually reversed the effects of Gbg; presumably, Gbg can be extracted from membranes by detergent plus phospholipids. Molecular biology. R188Q mutation was constructed by insertion of the mutant oligonucleotides between the Bsm1 and BglII sites of pSPORT– ROMK1 (ref. 11). A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragment (amino acids 180–391) from pSPORT–ROMK1 R188Q mutant was subcloned into pGEX2T vector (Pharmacia) for expression of R188Q mutant protein of GST–RKC.
