Consumerism Habits and Health A properly balanced diet ensures that an individual gets all the energy one needs to stay active all through the day, prerequisites nutrients required for progression and restoration, aiding in staying fit and secure. Besides, consuming healthy foods and balanced diets help in maintaining a healthy weight. Therefore, the omission of nutrients such as vitamins A to Z, zinc, selenium and iron deteriorates the immune system. Personal Consumerism Habits My diet lacks green leafy vegetables, a variety of fruits and water making me predisposed to gastrointestinal conditions like diverticulosis, constipation and haemorrhoids. The cellulose found in fruits and vegetables increases faecal weight and assuage constipation due to fibre (Donvito, 2019). Additionally, fibre keeps individuals full helping towards weight reduction and minimizes carbohydrate absorption, resulting in controlled blood sugar levels plus green leafy vegetables enrich the skin and hair. I also have a habit of snacking after dinner which is not a healthy habit as the human metabolism are more active during the day as compared to the relaxed state when we are asleep (Walton, 2012).

McCandless’ Death             A story written from a third party’s point of view may sometimes be misleading. Chris McCandless is the main character in Jon Krakauer’s “Into the World” and dies in the wilderness after a hiking experience that was motivated by his desire to find peace away from people. Hunters found McCandless’ body, and with it was a goodbye letter, although no sufficient evidence was provided for his death. Krakauer, who had come up with several other theories in his previous, gave out a theory in “Into the World” that McCandless died of poisoning after eating some seeds and not from starvation, as some people thought. McCandless’ death was a result of poisoning after eating wild fruits, according to Krauker. The explanation appears authentic if the initial claim that McCandless did not have sufficient knowledge concerning live in the wilderness (Krakauer, 27). The fact that McCandless ignored the warnings from all the people he told about the trip showed that he did not know the dangers of traveling into the wilderness at the time of the year (Krakauer, 23).…

Impact of nutrition on chronic liver disease Today, at least one in every three American adults is having a chronic illness, often related to poor food choices and eating habits. A healthy and balanced diet is essential for maintaining normal liver function. According to Bedogni et al. (2005), the liver is one of the vital organs of nutritional metabolism, including glycogen storage, protein synthesis, and detoxification. Proper nutrition is particularly important for both preventing liver damage and slowing the progression of liver disease. Food nutrients like carbohydrates, fat, and protein are absorbed into the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract. These nutrients are then carried to the liver, which subsequently processes them to either store or use to support critical physiological functions in the body (Bedogni et al., 2005). However, nutritional disturbance can alter the adequate performance of the liver leading to its damage. Resulting liver conditions that may arise or aggravate from the nutritional disorder include Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and liver cirrhosis (LC). Therefore, dietary interventions like dietary counseling can help in effectively managing…

Evaluation of Chapter 8 of the Westminster Confession of Faith                                               Introduction                         The work of Christ is represented in three ways: his past work, present and future work. This aspect of a threefold representation correlates with his threefold office as a king, a prophet as well as a priest. As a result of this triple aspect of work, Christians continue to receive salvation. This article evaluates the eighth chapter of the Westminster Confession of Faith, ‘of Christ the Mediator’ while considering the biblical and academic discussions on the work of Christ. The discussions put forward in this paper describe the work of Christ on the cross, in heaven, on earth, in the incarnation, during atonement, priesthood, ascension as well as death as they compare with the arguments of the sections of the chapter.             The first section in the chapter brings forth the argument that God was pleased to ordain Jesus as the mediator between man…

Nature and Its Impacts on My Life The most significant events that influenced me and still motivates me up to date is how nature/environment has a substantial impact on my life. This discovery changed my life significantly since it affected the way I view nature in general, the importance of it in human beings, and the things I practice to protect it. Moreover, this event has been vital to me since I discovered it in my teens, which is very difficult for many people. Nature intensifies or decreases our stress, which, in sequence, affects our bodies’ functions. My love for nature began four years back when I was in my 12th grade. I was 15 years old at the time, and conserving the environment was the best thing I loved doing since then. I have volunteered in planting trees because trees are the most significant source of oxygen; we breathe. Moreover, Trees assists in reducing the level of the ozone layer in the environment, reduce noise pollution, and provides different fruits that have several health benefits. Also, I volunteered to…

  Exploration of Personal Values Five personal values that are important to me Perseverance We live in a world where life problems have become a daily norm, and to get through the ups and downs that life throws to us, we need to persevere. Perseverance is a value that enables us to do anything despite the challenges that we face, and when life knocks up down, we can still get up and fight. Perseverance is an essential value to me because I believe that everyone fails at one point, but we have to respond to any bad situation and never give up on anything that we do. I also believe that this value is important because it is one of the main ingredients of a happy and successful life. Confidence The main component of confidence often is the value that I place on myself. Confidence is about the strong faith that you believe you have what it takes to complete an objective. For instance, if you are talented and extremely skilled, little confidence may prevent you from carrying out any…
