...Freshman 15 Is the freshman 15 a real thing or is it a hype or myth? They say that the average freshman student in college will gain about 15 extra pounds by the end of their first year in college. But, does a person of the same age group who didn’t attend college meet that same average? Now, I am not expert on nutrition, but I do try to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. It is not rocket science to understand that if you over eat there is a very good chance that you will gain weight, despite your age or gender. What other reasons and examples can we explore that will explain the freshman 15 theory or urban myth. What are some of the things that a freshman in college might have to deal with in their first year? Most peoples’ first year in college can be a stressful experience, filled with anxiety of being thrown into a new environment. Stress is one example we may account weight gain in the first year. Many students go to college away from home and my live in a dorm room, where there is no kitchen available. This results in eating out, fast food, takeout, processed meals that are filled with preservatives and high fat, and calorie count. Irregular eating and sleeping schedules can attribute to weight gain, also late night meals and snacks. One example usually seem to be over looked and sometimes forgotten, is the consumption of alcohol, beers and liquors add more calories to your existing diet. Sitting for long periods of time, along with lack of exercise can also be a contributing...

...relay for life endure for a day. Summit is a place to engage in learning about cancer and the ways it affects us. The prominent speaker of Northwest region Summit this year was a nutritionist. Her presentation was so compelling it helped give me the desire to change my life. The main part of her speech that stood out was how she linked cancer to poor nutrition. In today’s world we are constantly on the go. It is much easier and faster to pick up a big mac, super-sized fry, and large coke at McDonald’s rather than to go home and cook a healthy meal. Adding all this greasy and unhealthy food in our daily diet is putting the dietary chemicals off balance in our system. This allows our bodies to be more suitable to disease and poor health. Along with poor nutrition, lack of daily vitamins, and the absence of physical activity are growing factors in the link between unhealthy bodies and cancer. Going to school fifteen hours a week, working a part time job, and making time for yourself and the ones we love is hard to balance as a college student. Majority of college students gain a significant amount of weight their freshman year due to the inability to balance those things properly. Many times the physical activity is non-exist and unhealthy habits are gained. Without the physical activity our bodies cannot healthily process our circulatory system the correct way and allows toxins in our body to start building up. If a habit is not started at a young age it is less likely...

...issue to address many young adolescents are become victims of school violence which results in lower educational opportunities for some student’s. In this paper I have research statistics amongst school violence and the importance to know the effects it may have own students Are you going to the party on Friday?, I’m sure that was the hot topic in the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on October 24, 2014, that quickly changed when “15 year old freshman student Jaylen Fryberg shot five other students at Marysville Pilchuck High School, fatally wounding four, before fatally shooting himself.” (www.kval.com) The one surviving victim and all of the students who witness this horrible act of school violence can never erase those images in their heads for the rest of their lives. There are many forms of school violence some that are not has fatal has Marysville-Pilchuck High School but one form of school violence that is on the rise is bullying. Bullying can be just has fatal has physical school violence because a lot of young adults have committed suicide because they were victims of bullying. School violence is more likely to happen in low-income socioeconomic class rather than a high socioeconomic class. A lack of a nurturing environment, stimulation, and nutrition can all lead to school violence. Overall this paper will give a detailed explanation...

...BUS 330 Prof Williams Yi (Rebecca) Gao Paper Clip Exercise Log Trade #: 1 Item traded for: Photo Frame Estimated value of item traded for: $15 Picture of item traded for: Date of trade: 03/28/2014 Name of person you traded with: Samantha Chen Your relationship with the person: Friend Comments about the trade: Since I knew Samantha from freshman year, I have seen this frame with no picture inside sitting on her shelf with dust for two years. Apparently, she doesn’t want to throw it away, but she is also not using it. So, I thought it might not be hard to trade my paper clip for this frame which became my target point. Another reason I targeted this frame was that I wanted to start big so that I could trade for more valuable items with less number of trades. I didn’t reveal my purpose when I started talking to her; rather, I told her that I liked the frame and got her to talk a lot about it. Through our conversation, I confirmed my assumption that this frame is a thing of little value or interest for her but she just doesn’t want to throw it away. Then I told her my purpose and she agreed to trade with me. One thing that really helped me was information about the frame and how she was thinking.

...Unhealthy Eating and Self-Perception Much of nutrition focuses on the individual who is responsible for picking the right foods, eating healthy, exercising, and doing what’s best for their body. Nutrition consultations are one-on-one, focused on the single person’s dietary needs and deficiencies. However most of us are a part of a larger network of people, whether it be because we’re married, work in a large office, or have a tight-knit group of friends. Who we eat with, as it turns out, has a big impact on what we eat (Delormier, Frohlich, and Potvin, 2009). The idea of eating as a social activity is nothing new, but how food choices are influenced by these social interactions may impact body image and self-esteem in the long run. Also, body mass indexes (BMI’s) and gender play into the relationship. This paper will focus on the social aspects of eating and how unhealthy eating affects body image and self-esteem. Fast food has become an icon for inexpensive, tasty, and quick meals. In 2009, consumers in America “spent almost $600 billion at fast food restaurants” alone (Tangari, Burton, Howlett, Cho, and Thyroff, 2010, p. 2). However, most fast food is deemed unhealthy, because it is “high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium” (Tangari, Burton, Howlett, Cho, and Thyroff, 2010, p. 2). Does this stop people from eating it? Obviously not, but how do people feel after they eat it? One way that someone can evaluate their feelings about themselves, is to consider their...

...“Polyphenols are a group of secondary metabolites manufactured by plants that we've recently learned play an important role in human health and nutrition. Many are potent antioxidants; some play a role in preventing or fighting cancer; others exhibit antimicrobial properties”. Organic farming practices do not expose the fruits and vegetables to pesticides, so the fruit/vegetable produces polyphenols because of how much stress or pests it encounters. 7. Grass is not a commodity because it is the complete opposite, value-wise of grain. Grass farmers do not receive subsidy checks from the government. Agribusiness, pharmaceutical, and big oil industry do not profit from them because they do not purchase as much (if any) fertilizers or pesticides. Excess grass does nothing for the economy and cannot be used for political or power gain, grass is not a commodity. Unlike grain, grass cannot be...

...Eating Disorders Research Paper | | | Eating disorders are sweeping this country and are rampant on junior high, high school, and college campuses. These disorders are often referred to as the Deadly Diet, but are often known by their more popular names: anorexia or bulimia. They affect more than 20% of females between the age of thirteen and forty. It is very rare for a young female not to know of someone with an eating disorder. Statistics show that at least one in five young women have a serious problem with eating and weight (Bruch, 25). The Deadly Diet appears to be a mostly female problem. Eating disorders are most common in the middle to upper middle class families. Currently, the incidence is much lower in females from the "blue collar" families. The Deadly Diet can begin anywhere from the ages of ten to thirty. The peak age for the beginning of the Deadly Diet in females is eleven to fifteen; the peak for males is between fifteen and eighteen (Bauer, 89). Most of the information on the Deadly Diet says that it is a problem of teenage girls, but as clinics have found, most of the people who come to get therapy are in their twenties and thirties. This may be because younger people are less likely to seek professional help. Most often it is the parent who brings the patient for help. Adults who have left home and had to deal with managing their lives usually tend to realize more clearly the need to seek help and make changes. Everywhere one looks today...

...Statement of Purpose - MBA 1. Studying for an MBA requires a certain determination and strength of character. In recent years, the business world has become rapidly integrated across once restricting borders, and anyone with high goals in the business world must have an international perspective and be aware of the realities of different international arenas. I am unique, and uniquely fortunate, to have a diverse background both academically and professionally which has exposed me to different continents, peoples, cultures, and languages. As a native of Asia, I am familiar with the increasingly important markets of this region, and as such I am thoroughly prepared for the demands and challenges presented by undertaking study in the MBA program at your institution. From a young age, I set goals beyond those of my peers. I decided to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in International Hotel Management, but in recognition of the limitation of programs in this field in my native country, I decided to pursue my undergraduate degree in Europe. The international hotel management course I joined was run by Goodwell University in the UK, and due to the experience of the instructors and the overall sophistication of the program, I received an incredibly valuable learning experience, beyond that which I could have received elsewhere. My undergraduate coursework at Goodwell University focused on management marketing, accounting, and various aspects of tourism. I received broad business-based...

Different groups of people worked on researching different aspects of fast food in the community. Information was collected about fast food restaurants’ contribution to communities through the lenses of obesity, wages, waste, benefits, and community relations. While there may be negatives surrounding the fast food industry, fast food restaurants/chains do benefit the community in some ways. 1. Fast Food and Obesity America is the fattest country in the entire world and is getting fatter. Obesity is the second biggest killer next to deaths caused by smoking. In 1991, 1 in every 8 adults was obese; in 1999, 1 in every 5 adults was obese, which shows how America is becoming more obese all of the time...
