Lifestyle patterns as predictors of obesity Obesity is one of the significant risk factors for developing metabolic and heart diseases worldwide. As a risk factor to these diseases, obesity leads to poor glucose control in the body, high blood pressure as well as accumulation of abnormal lipids in the blood vessels. The factors are essential to an inadequate supply of blood to the heart, brain, and kidneys that contribute to stroke and heart attack, among other diseases. Also, poor glucose control leads to the emergence of diabetes, a condition that has also been associated with the destruction of kidneys, eyes, the heart, and other organs. Besides, diabetes is considered a significant contributor to premature deaths, mainly due to its complications that include diabetic commas as well as diabetic foot ulcers and infections. Even though there are many causes of obesity and overweight, especially in Saudi Arabia, stress and lifestyle patterns play a significant role in all populations. Hence, the literature review aims at showing how stress and lifestyle changes play a role in increasing the incidences of obesity and overweight…
COVID-19 Despite the ambitious containment measures against highly infectious diseases, the world has been brought to its knees by COVID-19, which has not discriminated between the rich and the poor. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered virus, one of the families of viruses known to cause mild to severe infections to people (CDC 1). With the virus being highly contagious and no treatment available, Coronavirus has changed how people work, socialize, play, and learn. The origin of the current outbreak of Coronavirus can be traced to a small part of China called Wuhan, a major international and domestic transit hub. The infections have since spread in all the continents in the world. Whereas travel bans have been cited as the most effective method of containing the spread of the virus, however, history shows that such restrictions to include infectious diseases such as influenza have failed. First, without a well-structured and coordinated response strategy to reduce rates of transmission, stringent travel restrictions alone may prove futile. Countries such as Italy and Iran have restricted travel, yet…
10 Tips for a Successful Phone Interview 1. Choose a quiet space. It cannot be stressed enough that distractions can kill the most perfect interview. You do not want to have anything that makes noise or takes your attention away from the interview. Smartphones and devices can pick up and transmit sounds that you may not even think could be heard, distracting both you and the person interviewing you. Never plan to interview when kids are around or sleeping, as they are unpredictable and noisy. Avoid places like the outdoors, your car, or any other noise-prone area. Telecommuting requires a quiet space to work, and you need to demonstrate to your potential employer that you have the right area to complete their tasks. 2. Remove distractions. If you are in a home office, or another room with distracting items like computers, books, magazines, laundry that needs to be folded, etc., remove those distractions before you begin the interview. Turn off your computer and cell phone, put away the laundry, and hide the books and magazines.…
Structural and functional changes contributing the weight loss In three weeks Jordan lost 7 kilograms. Structural and functional changes contributing the weight loss include malnutrition, malabsorption, and diarrhea. Malnutrition is common with Crohn’s disease patients with nutritional deficiencies linked to the degree and activity of the condition. While several mechanisms may be involved in malnutrition, reduced food intake is due to anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. The fear of diarrhea and that of colicky abdominal pain due to stricture act as a discourage Jordan from maintaining adequate nutrition. Jordan stated that he was reluctant to eating and drinking much during the previous five days. Inflammation related anorexia and poor appetite are the major causes of reduced food intake (Cronin & Shanahan, 2007). Anorexia is a symptom of Crohn’s disease as a result of inflammation and its presence even after continued weight loss suggests the failing of normal compensatory mechanisms that take effect following a period of reduced food intake. Concerning weight loss in Crohn’s disease, researchers propose that proinflammatory cytokines trigger the release of leptin from adipose tissue resulting…
Client Resistance On Therapy Resistance in therapy involves the unwillingness of a client to change and grow within therapy sessions. Persons of diverse cultures, natures, and personalities visit therapists for their reasons or because third parties referred them. However, because they did not visit therapists willingly, referred clients are often reluctant and show resistance during the initial stages of the process. Also, clients who begin therapy on their show resistance to the emotional discomfort that changes demands. Besides, adjustment is never easy, but it is scary and emotional. Therapy sessions are met with some resistant clients that are angry, argumentative, make excuses, sidetrack, and even deny their role in the problem (Wendelin, 2013). Arguing clients usually contest the correctness, skill, or reliability and might express direct hostility towards the therapist. Clients who are uncomfortable talking about themselves or the topic at hand cut off and defensively interject therapists, making it hard to treat them. Additionally, these clients take over conversations and speak when the therapist is still talking, without waiting for a clause or pause (Wendelin, 2013). Also, they cut…
Do you believe the War on Drugs in the U.S. is successful? I believe that the war on drugs in the U.S has not been successful. The policies set towards fighting this issue have even contributed to escalating other matters. The policies are not well structured to ensure effectiveness in the outcomes expected. There are significant issues that arise, making people to be more rebellious and even engage more in drug abuse. For instance, mass incarceration in the U.S leads to filling up cells giving no room to cater for other serious crimes. It also leads to stagnation in people’s socio-economic class, making them want to continue with drug trafficking to get money out of it. Besides, it creates racial segregation where people of color are thought to be offenders. Their association with drugs hinders them from progressing in other fields and thus, they remain with the option of doing drugs to make a living. Therefore, the problem is not being solved by the current policies. Is it necessary for U.S. Law Enforcement to collaborate with foreign countries like Columbia?…
