The way I improved my paper was taking my instructors constructive criticism and making the necessary corrections, to the best of my ability. I had obvious problems with the comma usage, dangling modifiers, and it was no question that I have to improve my vocabulary. Referring back to the text book and using the Thesaurus definitely helped me make the best revisions that I can make. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was to expand the use of my vocabulary. I know a lot of words; I just don’t use them in my everyday conversation, thus making it more difficult to incorporate in my essay.
Research suggests that creatine improves strength and performance in teenagers who were already in shape and highly-trained for their sport. It is safe, but users should always look at label directions and follow manufacturer's suggestions when considering creatine. Although the supplement can help build muscle, creatine has many negative affects on the human body. Studies have shown that the long term use of creatine is not healthy. It can lead to many different factors such as: chronic heart failure, heart disease, bone density, depression, dialysis, high cholesterol, spinal cord injury, or memory loss.
Benefits of Weight Training in Today’s Society Today’s society and possibly always people have had an obsession with body image. Ironically the American population is in an epidemic due to obesity rates and poor health related to diet and exercise. One simple solution to this problem along with proper diet and exercise is resistance or weight training. Not only is this an answer to our obesity problem, it also benefits our society in a voluminous number of ways. In an unfeasible attempt I will try to cover the extraordinary number of benefits of weight training within this paper.
Many are also unsure of how to change when the problem already exists. The strongest component of change is commitment; the individual must possess a strong desire to change what they cannot live with anymore (Zeratsky, 2011). Fortunately, as millions have discovered, it is never too late to change lifestyle habits and set out on a path to personal growth. In addition to commitments, change also requires individuals to be informed and educate themselves on everything that surrounds the issue of obesity, including why it has occurred, the emotional components that underlie its development, healthy and unhealthy meal choices, and exercise regiments (CDC, 2011). For example, rather than consuming unhealthy fast food in front of the television, individuals should perhaps sit down at the dinner table and eat as a family and teach their children that it is important to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and drink plenty of water to live a healthy lifestyle (CDC,
It is informative as everything is clearly explained and limitations are noted giving the reader both pros and cons; for example, “The study had limitations, some of which the authors noted:” The vocabulary within this article is quite advanced even though it is aimed at the general public. “Significant reductions were seen in levels of the hormones leptin, cholecystokinin, insulin and the appetite-suppressing peptide YY (P<0.001).” This sentence illustrates a specific use of vocabulary and, although the hormones were explained previously within the article, to understand sentences such as these you would need a level of
Muscle Physiology Research Paper Creatine Supplementation, in Combination with Resistance Training, on the Promotion of Muscle Mass and Strength. Creatine supplementation, in combination with Resistance training, on the promotion of muscle mass and strength. Introduction: In recent times Dietary supplements have exhibited a great deal of interest, namely the potential of the dietary supplement creatine monohydrate, to increase the muscles concentration of phosphocreatine (PC) and hopefully, performance. Mainly popular with athletes and trainers hoping to promote greater increases in muscle mass and strength in resistance training programs, but recently it has been realized that even non athletes and even
There are many more, but I felt like those three were the most important and most significant parts in the book. After reading Night I have also learned how to appreciate a lot of the things I have. Realizing how many people had to fight for their lives and for the food they ate made me realize not to take my food or the things I have for granted. This book helped me and taught me a
Why is there not a lot of research done on mental and physical conditions like Childhood Obesity in military families? In order to research the issue, the world needs to know that the issue exists. “When it comes to childhood health concerns, a new poll shows many adults agree on the top priorities they want to see the candidates address: childhood obesity.” (PR Newswire, 2012). Most of the Primary Research (Sole, 2010) is done, but there just needs to be Secondary Research (Sole 2010) like surveys, test, and analysis done on our children of military families any order to end this
Although being overweight appears to have an easy solution which is eat healthier and exercise more, there are still many other factors such as genetic, biological, psychosocial, sociocultural, and environmental influences that are combined to make this a complex problem. The United States has taken on many other major concerns with great success such as reducing tobacco use, improving automobile safety, including the enforcement of car seats and seatbelts to protect young passengers. Therefore, we must address the problem of obesity in the same fashion, making it a national priority which requires a comprehensive approach that is based on science and involves government, industry, communities, schools, and families. Such an approach is detailed in Preventing Childhood Obesity: Health in the Balance, issued by the Institute of Medicine in September 2004. The report offers promising solutions that when implemented together with the help of communities, will help keep the vast majority of the nation's children physically active and healthy.
