Dietary Analysis The first and most noteworthy fact about my three-day food intake, when compared with the Dietary Reference Intakes that are recommended by medical experts, is the astonishing number of "Empty Calories" listed. The easiest way to examine this is by taking a closer look at one of the most deleterious items on my three-day menu, which was a McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. The Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese turns out to be a 748-Calorie sandwich, however the United States Department of Agriculture analysis estimates that 263 of those calories qualify as "Empty Calories." For a further breakdown, that includes 238 empty calories from "Solid Fats" (presumably from the cheese and meat) and an additional 25 empty calories from "Added Sugars" (this presumably just from the condiments, such as ketchup, included in the McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese). It's obvious that the easiest way to improve my dietary prospects would be to remove these empty calories, which are defined as calories that provide negligible nutritional value -- in other words, this is a huge portion of the caloric intake that includes no nutrients at all. It is also worth noting that this one sandwich took up nearly half of the recommended caloric intake for one day, which is estimated by the United States Department of Agriculture at two thousand total calories. Obviously, on the particular date that included the McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, this target number of calories...
Obviously we are all familiar with warnings from nutritionists about the dangers of "fast food" but this simple fact lays it out numerically: not only was the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese incredibly caloric (especially when compared with the recommended daily calorie intake) but an astonishing percentage of those calories had no nutritional value whatsoever.
Childhood Obesity One of the most significant health problems seen in the United States is obesity. Within this dynamic there are particular issues of special concern for the health care industry and society in general, most notably the exponential increase in obesity found among children. (Strauss, Pollack, 2001, pgs. 2845-2848) and (Troiano, Flegel, 1998, pgs. 497-504) "Childhood obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years, and it represents the
Some patients feel helpless, hopeless, depressed, isolated from others, belittled, and do not know how to seek appropriate help from others (Rutter 2004). Socially supportive arrangements were addressed as the attributes of socially legitimate roles which provide for the meeting dependency needs without loss of esteem. Socially supportive environments were presented as pattern interpersonal relationships mediated through shared values and sentiments as well as facilitate the performance of social
Multicultural Marketing Marketing to a multicultural audience -- Starbucks and McDonald's All businesses today must be multicultural to some extent (Makgosa 2012). The Internet has opened up new portals to multicultural, multinational consumer audiences. More foreign nationals in developing nations aspire to imitate the American, consumerist life they see portrayed in the modern media. America itself is growing increasingly diverse, which demands a more carefully-segmented approach to marketing. However, this creates a
Revision MemoWhat I believe I did well in this assignment:Although this assignment covered a lot of bases, I believe I did well because I addressed each prompt thoroughly using relevant scholarly resources and empirical observations and experiences.What I would work on if I had more time:It would be interesting to learn more about the debates that took place among early Church leaders concerning the Mormon�s policies about adherence to the
Introduction, Problem Statement, Objectives and Aims, and Significance of Practice Problems: HYPERTENSIONAs previously reported, hypertension is a pervasive public health concern that affects millions of individuals worldwide (Fang et al., 2021). Despite the availability of effective pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, the management of hypertension remains suboptimal, particularly among minority populations. Racial and ethnic disparities in hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control have been well-documented, contributing to disproportionate rates of cardiovascular
A Urate Lowering Intervention Hypertension speaks to a noteworthy general medical issue. Around the world, roughly one-fourth of the grown-up populace has hypertension. Epidemiological and trial studies propose a linkage between Hyperuricemia and hypertension. Hyperuricemia influences 30?45 % of patients with untreated hypertension. A much lower commonness has been accounted for in normotensives or the overall public. “Be that as it may, in the case of bringing down serum uric Acid
