    Health and nutrition, particularly my own, is something I have taken special interest in lately as I’ve come to realize I’m rapidly approaching the second half of my life and want it to be as good as, or even better than, the first half. If I were to be asked eight weeks ago if I was a healthy person, my answer would be a resounding, “Yes;” my regular physicals and blood work confirming my response. And while I still believe that to be true, what an eye opener the Diet Analysis project was, as far as understanding my actual nutritional intake in comparison to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of nutrients recommended for optimal health and well-being. The following paragraphs not only detail the Diet Analysis PLUS program used for this project,…

    The cultural group and their health dilemma that has been the focus over the SLP is Hispanics and fighting obesity. The core issue is the increased likelihood of obesity that has a linear relationship with length of duration in the United States (Lindberg, Stevens, & Halperin, 2013, p. 1). The best method to change the culture of obesity in Hispanics is to create a health education program that involves the whole family.

    A Duty to Care: The Role of a Nurse in Circumstances of Patient Nonadherence Health care professionals are all too often aware of the lifestyle choices that have led the patient to seek treatment in their care. However, the implications of these lifestyle choices and issues that can arise from nonadherence are often downplayed or simply disregarded by the patients despite the urgency of the matter being expressed by the health care professionals. In other words, sometimes, the patients refuse to alter their lifestyle for the preservation of their own health. This can be frustrating, to say the very least, but it does not, under any circumstances, dismiss the health care professionals from their duty of care (Laken, 1983).…

    Abraham uses the situation between Dr. Jones’ advice for Tommy to reduce his intake for salt and Tommy’s deliberate refusal to this advice to further support this claim. When physicians warn patients, like Tommy, to go on a salt free diet, some patients may deny being able to follow the recommended lifestyle due to the fact that “[they] could if [they] wanted to… [but eating salt food] is just something [they do]” (Abraham 138). This proves the point that some patients do not consider the importance of pursuing a healthy lifestyle. They have the mindset that if they “need to stop doing [something in their diet], they can do it” (Abraham 138).…

For example, I am not getting a sufficient amount of dairy, protein, or calcium; strangely, I do enjoy eating these foods. After doing some research, I discovered strategies to deal with this problem.…
