...* ------------------------------------------------- Six Vices Destroy the Human Life * Some people may think that people are the strongest in the nature. In fact, the human body is rather tender to be threatened by various vices, such as the inadequate intake of water and excessive intake of coffee. These vices can gradually destroy our life. The first vice is to drink water inadequately, which can cause the aging of brain, induce the cardiovascular diseases and affect the metabolism of kidney. When people are working in office, they usually forget to drink water. In order to prevent the danger, people should absorb enough water for their bodies. However, people with weak intestinal functions should not drink water until they feel thirsty, or the metabolism of water inside the body can be seriously disturbed. The second vice is to regard fruits as main food. Although fruits contain abundant vitamins and sugar, they can not provide protein and trace elements for the human body. The inadequate supplementation of protein will cause nutritional imbalance and induce various diseases. It is necessary for people to know well about their own physical constitutions so as to choose suitable food. The third vice is to drink wine excessively. It is known to all that excessive drinking can cause the liver diseases and affect the reproductive system. If people want to drink wine, they should first understand the variety of wine.

...Raeven Kaynette G. Benamer 9-St. James Equilibrated Life The advances on both health and technology that humanity has achieved as of today is one proof of how skilled and adept we have become. We keep inventing and discovering things that will help us and make our lives easier and tranquil. But, as time passes by we tend to be more dependent on these certain advances. We choose to be blind and not see how beneficial it is if we would take initiative if we would start acting right. We misuse, abuse and exhaust our body to its extent. Others do it for money, for a particular goal or purpose, the lack cautiousness and others simply because of boredom. If this will continue, I wouldn’t be shock if one day our ignorance will kill us. Our poor and irresponsible actions affect the people around us and ourselves of course. It damages our body externally and internally. The effects may not be obvious now but sooner or later it will be and we will start regretting the foolish actions we have done. We will only realize the value of preventing when cure is not obtainable anymore. Do not dig your own grave. One of the things which we don’t pay attention to is the Circulatory and Respiratory System. The health of the respiratory and circulatory system is critical and vital to our overall health.

This outcome indicates that teens may find it more difficult to control their behaviors when their friends are around. They are visible and expressive when it comes to their peers but when it comes to their own parents they are invisible.

...Benefits of Becoming a Healthy Person Daniel A. Medeiros COM/172 1/21/2015 Michael McIntyre Benefits of Becoming a Healthy Person A human body is a lot like a machine such as car engine, there are many moving parts which keep it running and from time to time maintenance is required in order for that machine to operate at peak efficiency. Much like the car engine needs oil, lubrication and fuel to operate smoothly, so does the human body. If the improper fluids or fuel are used in the engine it may operate for a while before the systems begin to shut down. This is similar to the human body, because although foods such as candy, soda and cheeseburgers may be taken in and have enough vitamins and minerals to keep the body running, it may still not contain the proper amount of nutrients that that it takes to maintain it for a long period of time. The human body requires certain nutrients that healthier foods can provide while unhealthy foods contain additives and preservatives which are harmful to the body. If a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, and other such healthy foods are consumed, the human body will be much healthier than when a diet consisting of prepackaged and unhealthy foods are consumed. According to the (Centers for Disease Control [CDC]. 2004a), there are more people consuming foods that are prepackaged...

...Psychological Adjustments to Aging This paper will cover the ongoing changes one makes from early adulthood to middle adulthood. Early adulthood spans from the ages of 20 and 40 and middle adulthood spans between 41 and 60. All the trials and tribulations that ensue when taking that next journey into adulthood will be addressed. They can include emotional and personal development; physical changes; decision to marry and raise a family or do you put your career first. The realization that you are no longer a young spring chicken hits some people in middle adulthood. In your mind you feel the same way you did when you were in your twenties, but the body tell you a different story. There are two different stages of love during early and middle adulthood described by. Psychologist Elaine Hatfield: there is compassionate love and passionate love. Compassionate love involves feelings of mutual respect, trust and affection, while passionate love involves intense feelings and sexual attraction. The Evolution of Social and Intimate Relationships Relationships during early adulthood can be a series of emotional and social changes. It often involves balancing intimacy and commitment with independence and freedom. According to Erikson, young adults face the controversy between intimacy and isolation.

...Character has been defined as “the distinctive mark of an individual.” What that mark is going to be, depends partly upon nature, but largely on environment and training. Children are initiative creatures, but they are also endowed with reason; and character is formed, first, by inculcating ideas of right and wrong in the minds of the young and, secondly, by the exercise on the part of the children of the reasoning power on questions of right and wrong. All men more or less are the architects or builders of their own characters, and, if the structure is to be a fine one, the work must be commenced as early as possible. Character depends upon imitation, tastes, talents and habits. Imitation, in the case of the young child, is instinctive and not connected with reason, but as he grows older he chooses what to imitate. Then is the time for education to step in and point out what is worthy of imitation and what is unworthy, and thus he will learn to select the best models for imitation. Ideals of self-control, courage, benevolence, truthfulness, honesty and purity, should constantly be held up for the admiration of the young. They should be encouraged to read the biographies of great men, that they may be inspired by their example. It is to be remembered, however, that tastes and talents vary, and that children may not develop in the same direction and yet may be developing on right lines. Thus, Benjamin West was inspired by a passion for painting, Mendelssohn lived for...

...CHAPTER I Introduction Cigarette smoking is tremendously widespread and is the most crucial problem that many countries are facing up to now. Despite all laws that restrict smoking and the emphasis of media that smoking kills, it still remains as the most addictive vice that begins early in childhood and adolescence which results to a lifetime habit. Tobacco use is one of the preventable causes of death, yet, will be the leading cause of preventable and premature deaths globally in next few years (Salazar, 2004). As years come, the average age of smokers is declining. The youth is greatly and easily influenced by smoking especially if proper guidance for them to avoid it was not established. Indisputably, smoking creates a big impact on people, and year by year, the population of smokers increase thus tobacco-related illnesses that may lead to death also increase. Even the expression that “Warning: Smoking is bad for your health.” is not enough to encourage people especially the young to pick up the habit. It is seriously evident that the several programs or regulations formed to avoid and quit smoking needs more “press on” to switch down its impression to the people Background of the Study There are 1.25 billion smokers around the globe and consequently, one-third to one-half of it, which is almost 6 million people, will be killed in the year 2010 from the disruptive effects of smoking.

...like/that she has a very important position in an international firm of some sort. The reason you could think it is international, is because of her appointment with “the Belgians”. She is a single woman and it does not appear that she has any family. She is very fixated about her health. She does not allow her self to do drugs, have sex, and smoke cigarettes or anything related. The introduction however, implies that she might have a past that involved these vices. Even though she cares about her health, she still allows her self a glass of wine, and her urge of the famous Fudge Tub is very excessive. In the text Nancy is pregnant, but she has not been sleeping with anyone for some years. She then gets in trouble with a quite extreme Christian organisation and all hell breaks lose. The members of the organisation try to kill the child but fails miserably. The title of the story can symbolize a lot of things.

...anxiety disorders including depression were about 25 percent more common in the obese people studied than in the non-obese. (“Archives of General Psychiatry”, 2006) " Weight gain is very much influenced by stress and sleep. First, I am going to talk about how stress leads to weight gain. People who are stressed a lot are more likely to become depressed. People wanted to know why depression and obesity were closely related. When people are stressed, they tend to increase their eating habits and decrease their physical activity. People also wanted to know which came first: obesity or depression. Researchers studied this and said “there are very plausible reasons why depression could increase the risk for obesity and very plausible reasons why obesity could increase the risk for depression, (Boyles, 2009)” he says. “I think it is likely that both of these things are happening. (Boyles, 2009)” The key is to seek help when you think you are becoming depressed so you don’t end up becoming obese, and vice versa. Next, I am going to talk about how little or too much sleep leads to weight gain. Sleep and stress are also commonly related. If you get little sleep, then you will most likely become stressed, which could lead to depression, and then that could lead to obesity. It is always important to get the right amount of sleep each night. Sleep is a valuable necessity for living a great life. Sleep is actually one of the best medications for stress. There is a lot of things in life that...

A model is considered to be a representation of some object, behaviour, or system that one wants to understand. The Philosophical model is based on these theories of ethics, * Utilitarianism * Virtue Ethics * Deontology * Natural Law Utilitarianism: Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are the most important utilitarians. Their theory has had an important impact on philosophical work in moral theory and on approaches to economic, political and social policy Utilitarianism is one of the best known and most influential moral theories. Like other form of Consequentialism, it core idea is that whether actions are morally right or wrong depends on their effects. More, specifically, the only effects of actions that are relevant are the good and bad results that they produce. A key point in utilitarianism concerns the distinction between individual actions and types of actions. Utilitarianism believe that the purpose of morality is to make life better by increasing the amount of good things, (such as pleasure and happiness) in the world and decreasing the amount of bad things (such as pain and unhappiness). Utilitarianism thinks that what makes a morality be true or justifiable is its positive contribution to human...
