Ryan Gonzales Mrs. Larsen English 1101-113 August 10, 2012 Exercise, the Body, and Its Skeletal System There are many points of view as to the negative and positive effects that exercise has on the body. The one thing that is a fact is that exercise has become a huge push in today’s society. The thing that has a lot of people urging to get to the gym or on a bike trail is for the health aspect of it. This has been proven to reduce many diseases, even as well as prevent them all together. The only thing that most people do not think about is the long and short term negative effects to putting too much strain on the body and its skeletal system?
Benefits of Exercise These days, many people are searching for a miracle cure or pill to alleviate their ailments, calm their minds, or shed their unwanted pounds. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to visit a physician and obtain a prescription for a magic potion for treatment of any condition? Several afflictions can be treated without paying astronomical amounts to doctors; the antidote is exercise which can improve your health and boost your brain power. The most common benefits of exercise include increasing muscle and bone strength, maintaining healthy weight, and lowering the risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Regular physical activity helps reduce the chances of Type 2 diabetes by regulating the blood sugar levels in the body, and it helps reduce heart disease by lowering blood pressure and increasing your HDL cholesterol.
It can often result from possessing excess body weight and the lack of any physical activity (WHO 2012). People with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medication, but in more serious cases, may also require insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes gives rise to many challenges for primary care staff in preventing and managing complications (Mold et al. 2008). Nurses play a major role in improving diabetes care and empowering patients to develop their self-management and life skills.
Just like all other aspects of their culture, their religious beliefs guide their responses to life, death, health, and illness (Fisher, 2002). For the Amish the quality of a person’s life is far more important than its length. In fact, a “good” death is preferred to more days or months of pain and suffering (Fisher, 2002). The Amish community cares for the ill, elderly, feeble, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, will have surgery and other forms of high tech treatment but will delay seeking medical treatment for minor problems (Fisher, 2002). For minor problems, they will generally rely on alternative or homeopathic remedies.
I would also suggest in going so on the grounds of disease prevention and wellness of health. I would chose disease prevention and wellness of health because these are the most common illness factors in relation to my friends and family and that they don’t have to participate in the susceptibility of having the same outcome of diabetes and high blood pressure. I would encourage them that this can be beaten and show them how by showing them how to incorporate small physical activities throughout the day then gradualize them from that
How To Analyze Your Diet Date: December 2nd , 2009 Nowadays, people are always pressured by the media and by their society to stay in shape. There are many reasons on why people would want to keep fit. Keeping fit according to our society is a sign of health, beauty, attractiveness and in some cases is needed to reach high positions in the career ladder. As a result, many people look for cheap and easy ways to accomplish their goals of losing weight especially when conventional dieting and exercise failed or is unattainable in this busy lifestyle. These “easy and cheap ways” instead of shaping your body can instead be a cause of damage to your health.
But for the patient who becomes critically ill during surgery, being in a facility with an ICU and extensive resources for the very sick patient can make a tremendous difference in the outcome. Here are some of the risk factor that included with cosmetic surgeries: * Poor Cosmetic Outcome: This may be the greatest fear of a plastic surgery patient: a result that not only fails to improve appearance, but actually makes one's appearance worse than before the surgery. * Scarring: One of the greatest risks to achieving an attractive outcome, scarring is not always predictable, but can be controlled in most cases. (Lickstein, 2013) Patients can decrease the risk of scarring by not smoking and following
The forgotten elements of training: Warming Up, Stretching, and Cooling Down Introduction Warming up, stretching and cooling down correctly are fundamental, yet often overlooked parts of any training program. While these components to training are very basic, many people tend to skip over a proper warm up, stretch and cool down program and wonder why they do not feel ready to work out. I call these aspects of training the forgotten elements of training because they are techniques that you never see much of in gyms compared to the amount of work done on heavy sets you see. Warming up has many benefits. The main benefit to warming up is injury prevention because the blood will be pumping to an area, lowering the chance of a muscle pull or joint injury.
The biomedical and socio-medical models are used in healthcare to help understand the causes of ill-health and why health inequalities exist. Their main focus is on personal and individual consequences of behaviour, for example; smoking, excessive drinking, poor diet, lack of exercise and so on. For many years the biomedical model of health has been of more importance than the socio-medical model of health and was more popular by sociologists but only recently the socio-medical model of health has been recognised and there is a growing popularity for this model too. Different sociologists also have their own perspectives on health and each of these models; some favour the bio-medical model whereas others favour the socio-medical model. Some would argue that people that have ill- health will fall to the bottom of society and people in this group are least likely to have healthy lifestyles.
Treatment: According to Fairburn & Brownell (2002, p.342) “Treatment for anorexia sufferers involves working with the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors that fix the patient into the ill role”. It involves and tries to address three prime areas: Restoring the person to a healthy weight; treating the psychological disorders related to the illness; Reducing or eliminating behaviors or thoughts that originally led to the disordered eating. The most effective and successful treatment is a combination of psychotherapy, family therapy, and medication. Involving the patent in their own treatment is essential yet difficult to achieve as often the person with anorexia doesn't think they need treatment. (Smith, 2014).
