I have also agreed to diverse my meals and eat more fruits and vegetables, apparently, and drink a lot of water during the day. Date 21/12/2019 Today is my first day scheduled for a workout, and it was a busy day. Being a Tuesday and the beginning of the week, a lot had to be done in terms of studies.

As a goal, I came along with a litter of water from the supermarket, which I would manage to finish before arriving back at the house for supper. Though it was late in the darkness, I still managed to walk for…

You may have seen several medical personnel aiding an injured athlete in the field within seconds. However, the same does not happen when it comes to mental disorders.

Read on to discover about the stigma of mental health in sports. Mental disorder in sports is more challenging to discuss compared to physical injuries. Most athletes still view it as a weakness. Seeking help is often seen as a sign of weakness in a community where coaches push for mental toughness. As such, an athlete with psychological…

Population health policy Introduction Obesity, particularly childhood obesity, is a rising global concern that has taken a toll on annual health expenditure across the country. Besides bringing about a considerable burden in the health sector, the impacts of obesity have contributed to reduced productivity as well as high absenteeism among children in our society. According to the report given by the American obesity association, approximately 15.5 percent of teenagers between age 12 and 19 years and 15.3 percent of kids between age 6 and 9 years are obese. Policymakers who aim at reducing the rates of obesity often lack precise evaluations on the cost-effectiveness of policy alternatives. The state of Maine imposes a higher excise tax on all sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and commonly withholds the purchases of SSB on supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP). The SSB program together with the policies that influence SNAP purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages aims at reducing the prevalence of obesity among children and teenagers and therefore reducing the cost of healthcare-related to childhood obesity by $93 million in the next ten years. How the policy…
cultural puzzles The world has become more culturally diverse. However, different cultures have a common characteristic of exercising control over their members. Culture can be analyzed in each specific city, location, country, history, or politics. A particular culture in a given area, for example, can be explained by the history of that area. For instance, Marcy Holmes was a renowned Native Americans dominated area but later became a white-dominated area after an explorer told the story of how the place was beautiful. History is a piece of a cultural puzzle. It has the power to influence people’s perception towards a particular area both within or without the community. A cultural puzzle is any aspect that helps understand the inner working of a particular culture and has the power to influence people towards that culture. Some cultural puzzles are similar, especially when the effect was universal. For instance, power is a puzzle to your understanding of culture. Power is the determinant of the voice of people in a given group or population. There are several determinants in power, such as money,…

These activities are talking on the phone, replying to emails, and visiting other social sites while in the streets (Hayashi). Vehicle involved accidents resulting from texting while driving has been on the rise in the past decade. It is absurd for people to think they can drive and text at the same time and guarantee their safety and that of other road users. Our government should take measures both to the offenders of these crimes to ensure reduced cases of text induced accidents. Laws and regulations that prevent individuals from texting while driving regardless of age, are set.

Some of the measures taken by the government to curb this issue are way beyond the extreme. Some of these measures work perfectly well with all the road users. Texting is prevalent and widespread in our internet-connected society, where…
