How has legislation affected public health in relation to food and nutrition issues?
you should read "The Jungle" to see where it all started… then the creation of the FDA and now all the health regulations certain states impose on the food production and service industries
Based on spontaneous physical activity and nutrition survey how do these areas impact on one’s total health?
What do you mean by spontaneous? Because you do need some kind of plan to increase or improve health and fitness. You can change or vary your routine, but there needs to be underlying plans or principles.
I usually just show them my nasty feet and say, "Skin viruses happen when you don’t go to the bathroom on time, or when you walk around in public toilets barefoot". Then I stick out my coffee-burned tongue and say, "A cold is a virus that crawls into your throat and rots your tongue when you don’t wash and dry your hands." Then I play peekaboo with them until they pass out.
Anyway, that sounds like a really complicated topic, and I don’t believe that there’s a lot out there covering healthy nutrition for the target audience of preschool. You’re lucky if you can get them to eat at all. But maybe turning someplace other than the TV, like a book, and finding something that shows a lot of people eating healthy foods…, the children will be interested in the story and start pointing to things, and the more mature children will mimic the behaviors of the people in the book.
I’m interested in this area of study, but uncertain what sort of jobs prospects I can get when I graduate. Pleas give good detailed answer as this subject interests me.
wot do u mean i smell u dont even know me u smell like shit not me u cheeky little wimp
I know juice is good for your brain and tea is good for your heart but if you mix the two do you get the best of both worlds or does it change them chemically into something harmful? Also is it good for a person to mix fruit juice and milk?
I wouldn’t see anything wrong with mixing milk and juice (other than the taste). If you made it into a smoothie with some fresh fruits as opposed to mixing straight juice and milk it would be tasty and have greater health benefits. I have never heard of someone having an adverse reaction to mixing tea and juice, but for flavor and added health benefits, I might suggest adding almond milk (extra dose of protein) or lemon (packed with antioxidants and vitamin C) to your tea.
In my college young kids course i have to come up with an easy game/activity to teach kids about health, safety, or nutrition. Any ideas are welcome, thanks
Safety:
Find a movie about the dangers of talking to strangers. You can make up scenarios the kids and act it out in class. You could also talk about safely crossing the street. Bring in a bright orange vest, a whistle, and stop sign and pretend to be a traffic director. Demonstrate how the director would direct traffic and allow them to safely cross the street.
Health/Nutrition:
Make up a matching game. Bring in cards that have different fruits and veggies on one side and mix them up and make the kids match them up correctly. Teach the kids what each fruit or vegetable is before playing the game and add a twist to it by making them say the fruit or vegetable once they find the match. You can also time the game to make it a competition.
Warning: Don’t bring in any food for the children to eat unless you get the OK from the parents first. Some students might be allergic. I’m deathly allergic to bananas. They make my throat swell up and I break out in hives. And my friend’s allergic to the peach fuzz on peaches. It breaks her out in hives if she touches/rub the peaches for too long.
I know that I want to help people be healthy, with the use of food; not medication.
I do not know where to start though, or what career choices I have.
If anyone could offer me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
I am 17 going on 18 so I have time to go to school etc.
Thanks
If you are looking to go into a medical practice, you can take a Naturopath route. Get your license in Internal Medicine and you can then specialize in whatever you choose – like Homeopathy, Nurtition, etc.
How does Stress,Memory,Self-esteem,Anxiety,Immune System,and Food Energy relate to psychological benefits of health-related physical fitness and nutrition?
Depression is exhausting. It’s like starving to feel good. When you’re really depressed, you don’t feel good enough to exercise, even though exercise would make you feel better because of the endorphins. Then food is a whole other issue for some people. Some people don’t eat when they’re depressed. Other people use food as a kind of self medication for the pain. Eating does cause a small release of seratonin, so you’re always looking for your next "fix."
Then there’s stress. For me, what I used to feel was an overwhelming sense of procrastination. Stuff would pile up and then I would feel the stress of not getting things done. The more stress I feel, the more distractible I get, and the more likely I am to forget things, or never process the information in order to remember it in the first place. Sometimes it’s because I couldn’t remember, and other times, it was because I never paid enough attention in the first place.
I never had a big problem with anxiety, but I know a lot of other people who do. My anxiety was more related to social situations, and that had to do with my self-esteem, which is the last thing to really recover, by the way.
The hardest thing about living through depression, for the sufferer and the observers alike, is sorting out where the illness ends and your character begins. The question is always "Am I this way because of the depression, or am I this way because I really am a lazy/boring/bad/ unproductive /sad/fat /weak/ unfocused/ drifter/lonely/(insert adjective here) person?
Is taking excess of 100% daily suggested Sodium bad for your health? In what ways does too much sodium affect your health? It seems that a meal can easily exceed the daily recommended sodium (for example, 1 Burrito is 100% of daily sodium, 4 slices of pizza is over 100% sodium, etc.) Please let me know about the health concerns of sodium.
sodium makes you bloat and dehydrates you. too much salt is bad for your heart, so just eat regular meals with low salt concentrations.
I’m thinking about changing my major to health because I enjoy science and nutrition, but I’m not sure what good jobs are out there for a health/nutrition major. If anyone has a webcite or advice it would be much appreciated:)
Really, the only job you will have as a Nutritionist is serving, and over-viewing foods for hospital patients. Making sure they eat the right amount, and the food is good for their body type. For example: if a elderly patient gets high blood pressure every now and then, you would make a serving of food to accommodate that person.
But to tell you the truth sweetheart, Nutritionist don’t get paid very well. They average salary for a Nutritionist is between $20,000-$40,000 a year. We will say your salary is in the middle and you make $30,000 a year. You would only be making $2,500 a month, and with taxes, you would probably only have $1,600, plus the cost of your monthly bills. So really, only about $800 to $600 left over. So you wouldn’t have a very great life. You likely wont even be able to pay for a apartment and you will live in your parents house, and you would likely have a crappy car.
If i was you, i would seriously consider making a career change. My mom went to school for 5 years, and she is now a Registered Nurse. She makes $106,000 a year, or about $8,000 a month. $14,000 if she works over-time. So that is always a option.
Bye, and good luck.
