NUTRACEUTICALS CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION MECHANISMS Name Name of Class Professor Name of School City Date Nutraceuticals Chronic Disease Prevention Mechanisms Nutraceuticals are food products, extracts, or food derivatives that include amino acids, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that have the potential to exhibit pharmaceutical benefits. They also add nutrients to the body. Additionally, they act as dietary food supplements or functional foods. From a nutritional point of view, they are a source of nutrients and on-nutrients. These nutrients include proteins, fats, vitamins, carbohydrates, and minerals. The non-nutrients are such as probiotics, fiber, prebiotics, and enzymatic regulators. Nutraceutical usage varies from country to country. Studies reveal that the larger parentage of nutraceutical consumers are female as compared to men. Compared to non-nutraceutical users, they are more likely to have a better-balanced diet. Additionally, they have low chronic conditions. Moreover, their perceived affordability has dramatically increased its use. The more famous are vitamin and dietary supplements. A nutraceutical may help prevent chronic diseases. This essay shall examine the mechanism involved in the use of nutraceuticals…
Issues with Community-Oriented Policing Community-oriented policing (COP) has increasingly been exploited as an alternative way of improving law enforcement operations. This approach has been seen as a way of improving police legitimacy, efficiency, and relationship with the community. While the increased attention to COP has increased adoption in different departments throughout the country, there are issues that have been its design and implementation. The issues associated with COP include; Increased budget allocation to police Inadequate staff for effective implementation Risk of over policing Potential of interference from local politics and sectional interests Contradiction with other policing strategies such as Tactical Response Policing COP in Oakland Police Department The problem of OPD revealed that there was a larger issue that needed to be confronted since the administrative changes were not yielding any fruits. With five Police Chiefs failing to deliver the desired results, it is evident that the problem was cultural rather than administrative. According to Owii (2018), reforming police departments, like any institution, requires a change in the culture rather than a few cosmetic or structural changes. OPD was in…
Compare the primate lives of apes and Old World monkeys The understanding of the evolution of species and communication primarily has the foundation on comparative analysis with the various existent members of the primate order. The primary and unified comparisons focus on the differences and similarities in behavior, the role of female primates, distribution, social organization, and ecology. The analysis integrates the phylogenetic correlation between species and putative selective pressures that play a significant role in the determination of a species’ cognitive skills. A striking facet between the Cercopithecoidea (Old World monkeys) and the apes within the primate order is the unequal relative brain sizes as the neocortex has faced a substantial expansion. Although Old World monkeys and apes are primates and belong to a similar primate suborder, there exists a range of differences between the two species. The dissimilarity between distinct primate groups has a foundation on the evolutionary ancestry and physical features. The primates’ order has categorization by the flexibility of legs, arms, and fingers and forward-facing eyes. Primates possess grasping hands and flexible limbs for movement across…
A Research Proposal on: “What Are The Perceptions of The grieving Process of The Church Of God in Christ and The Missionary Baptist.” CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Introduction Death is one of the issues that pose a great challenge to the human race. Many individuals always try to understand, accept it, and rationalize the finality of the event as it affects them. Losing a loved one is never easy on anyone, especially when the affected individual remembers that death is a final and permanent loss that no one can reverse (Feifel, 1977). Once there is a loss of an individual, there’s nothing anybody can do to bring the person back. The pains from the loss and the sorrow resulting from it can never be over no matter the number of years that passes after the burial. Therefore, both individuals and the church must understand the deep sense of loss which death evokes in the bereaved. That way, it’ll be easy to analyze and determine the best grieving process that will help affected individuals to find closure in such a loss. Death,…
Putting bacteria to work Microorganisms Microorganisms are extremely small and tiny living things that often found in the bodies of living things. The microorganisms are called the microbes and are not easily seen with our naked eyes due to their tiny nature. There are several known examples of bacteria, which include protozoa, algae and many more others. Microbes are often looked down on and not well appreciated since they are known to because of many diseases to humans; hence they are under-studied in most cases, it is hard to know they exist though they cause food spoilage. In the invention of the microscope, the microorganisms have been able to be seen as the cause of many diseases, and they are found everywhere except in the environment that humans have sterilized well enough. Microorganisms live in the soil, water, on the skin, and the digestive tract of animals. Wastewater can be harmful to the environment and the survival of the living thing in the environment. If wastewater is left untreated, it may prove to be a threat to the survival of…
Public health in US Obesity has been regarded as a significant public health threat with serious implications for the health and well-being of the population (Ogden, Flegal, Carroll, & Johnson, 2002). Globally, approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were classified as overweight and of those at least 400 million were obese (World Health Organization, 2005). The World Health Organization projects these statistics to increase, with approximately 2.3 billion adults all over the world overweight and more than 700 million obese by 2015. In the United States, obesity prevalence doubled among adults between 1980 and 2004. Over 72 million people, or over one-third of adults, were obese in 2005-2006. This included 33.3% among adult men and 33.2% among adult women (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2007). The Healthy People 2010 objectives included efforts to reduce the proportion of adults who were obese to 15% (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Estimated obesity prevalence among U.S. adults in 2007 indicated that no state met the Healthy People 2010 objective. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also…
Isolation Isolation is the process of being separated from people. Separation can occur in different forms. Social isolation refers to the situation where there is a complete or a nearly complete disconnection between an individual and the society. Emotional separation occurs where there is a strong connection between a person and the community, but the individual does not feel connected. Emotional isolation is a state of mind. Separation can also be advised by medical practitioners where deemed necessary, for example, in cases where one suffers an infectious disease, and there is a risk of spreading it to others. Isolation does more harm health-wise and psychologically to the individuals being isolated. Various factors are attributed to different kinds of isolation. A family crisis in that family members neglect a person as a result of issues like conflicts amongst themselves contributes to social isolation. Unemployment also makes one distance himself or herself from society. Unemployment makes one suffer psychologically and makes one think that they cannot fit in the community. Poverty also makes one distance themselves from the society (Stewart et al.…
Z-Score and Outliers Following the research, it is expected that the results and the data collected will incorporate outliers in both the data. This may be a result of random errors that are caused by mainly human errors. Several of the data will be beyond twice the standard deviation mean as the reference point. The data furthest from the mean will be evaluated from the data and named as outliers. Usually, the outliers are omitted in the final calculations and conclusion as they can cause erroneous errors. Utilizing the excel spreadsheets, various central tendencies will be determined, including the mean, standard deviation, and later evaluation of the Z-score. An outlier could be below or above the value of the data’s mean as calculated from the raw information recorded. Outliers will also be defined by the use of the Z-score to determine whether the outliers are on the fences for the involved variable. Correlation and Linear Regression Referring to part one of the assignment, the relationship that can be conceived from the two variables is that the amount of knowledge in…
Methods of deciding who to interview I chose Ethnography of vegetarians, cooking clubs, dining hall interactions as my topic and I intend to base most of my discussion on ethnography of vegetarians. Being a qualitative research paper and a topic on vegetarianism my scope on who to interview was narrow as many people did not associate themselves with vegetarianism. Due to gender equality, I chose two females and two males of ages twenty to forty. My candidates were familiar with the topic (Ethnography of vegetarians) and comfortable with the questions I had for them. I selected them randomly for better and more accurate results. The main criteria I used to decide on who to interview was diversity. I wanted to have opinions and views of various people of the subject matter. The age difference of between (20-45 years) as mentioned earlier is significant as eating habits in people change with, among other factors, age, and personality. The goal was to focus on acquiring different character types alongside dietary patterns. I accumulated data on what sorts of foods my participants took…
