...Make Children Healthy using Oregano Oil An Investigatory Project Submitted by: Aaliyah Maxine Rochelle Pangan Grade 4 St. Catherine Submitted to: Ms. Casiñas II. Rationale Your community is where you live in with your neighbors, so you got to keep it safe and healthy. By observing your community, you may get to know about it, get to know its problems and investigate the source of the problems. It is exciting to investigate because you can help your community to solve the problem. The researcher observed that children don’t like to eat vegetables that much. This can cause problems in their nutrition. Even if they are young, their lives won’t last long because they lack vitamins and the proper diet to give them energy. She will make an experiment to help the children be healthy again and help her community become strong. III. Related Literature A. Oil and its Uses An oil is any neutral, nonpolar chemical substance that is a viscous liquid at ambient temperatures and is both hydrophobic (immiscible with water, literally "water fearing") and lipophilic (miscible with other oils, literally "fat loving"). Oils have a high carbon and hydrogen content and are usually flammable andslippery. The general definition of oil includes classes of chemical compounds that may be otherwise unrelated in structure, properties, and uses. Oils may be animal,vegetable, or petrochemical in origin, and may be volatile or non-volatile.[1] They are used for food, fuel,...

...McDonald’s for failing to reduce the amount of trans fat the company used in its cooking process. In 2002, McDonald’s had publicly announced that, by February 2003, they would voluntarily begin using an “improved cooking oil” to prepare their fried foods. Do so would significantly reduce the amount of trans fat in their products by 48% ("Mcdonald's exposed for," 2004). McDonald’s withdrew their promise and did not switch over to a cooking oil with less trans fat, nor did they reveal to consumers that the conversion did not take place. The company claims that they changed their minds when customers began complaining that they did not want the taste of McDonald’s food to change (Horovitz, 2007). BTF accused McDonald’s of false advertising, deceiving consumers, and not taking the health of their consumers into consideration. In their lawsuit, BTF claimed that “McDonald's failed to make clear to customers that the type of oil used to fry its foods (which contains TFAs) had not been changed” ("Responsible shopper," 2005). BTF did not seek monetary damages, they only asked that McDonald’s publicize their failure to switch over to the healthier cooking oil and make that conversion as soon as possible. McDonald’s claimed that it was taking longer than expected to change to a new oil, but they were working on implementing the exchange. They did not provide any information as to how long they expected this to take. The company’s Chief Operating Officer stated that, "While speedy implementation...

...Organic oils Organic oils are produced in remarkable diversity by plants, animals, and other organisms through natural metabolic processes. Lipid is the scientific term for the fatty acids, steroids and similar chemicals often found in the oils produced by living things, while oil refers to an overall mixture of chemicals. Organic oils may also contain chemicals other than lipids, including proteins, waxes and alkaloids. Lipids can be classified by the way that they are made by an organism, their chemical structure and their limited solubility in water compared to oils. They have a high carbon and hydrogen content and are considerably lacking in oxygen compared to other organic compounds and minerals; they tend to be relatively nonpolar molecules, but may include both polar and nonpolar regions as in the case of phospholipids and steroids.[6] Mineral oils Crude oil, or petroleum, and its refined components, collectively termed petrochemicals, are crucial resources in the modern economy. Crude oil originates from ancient fossilized organic materials, such as zooplankton and algae, which geochemical processes convert into oil.[7] The name is a misnomer, in that minerals are not the source of the oil - ancient plants and animals are. Mineral oil is organic. However, it is classified as "mineral oil" instead of as "organic oil" because its organic origin is remote (and was unknown at the time of its discovery), and because it is obtained in the vicinity of rocks, underground...

...Anything NOT on the list is forbidden ... for now: Shellfish: Prawns are allowed during the attack phase 1 Lean beef and veal or rabbit, not pork or lamb (trim all fat and avoid ribs as too fatty). Eat meat grilled, roasted or boiled and without using butter, oil or cream (not even low-fat versions). You could also 'dry fry' it - rub the surface of a frying pan with a few drops of oil on kitchen paper. Lean minced beef can be prepared as burgers or meatballs (mixed with an egg, spices, capers or gherkins) or enjoy frozen beefburgers (if less than 10 per cent fat). 2 All chicken and turkey (not goose or farmed duck) but remove skin before eating and avoid the outside part of the wings (too fatty). 3 Ham if low-fat and lean, also cut rind off. Avoid deli, cured, and smoked hams (too fatty). 4 Beef, veal or chicken liver. 5 All fish white or oily, fresh, frozen, dried, smoked or canned (but not in oil or in any sauce containing fat), even crab sticks. 6 All crustaceans and shellfish. 7 Up to two eggs a day. Stick to 3 to 4 yolks per week if you have high cholesterol, but the white can be eaten without restriction. 8 Non-fat dairy products such as 0per cent yoghurt, fromage frais, quark, cottage cheese, and skimmed milk. Natural ( plain) and flavoured yoghurts (coconut, vanilla, lemon) are allowed without restriction, but non-fat fruit yoghurts (containing fruit puree) should be limited to two a day (or avoided if you want a lightning start to your attack phase)...

...skin. However, this is a more potent form of exfoliation, yet it is gentler than the dermabrasion procedure carried out in clinical settings, which causes a significant amount of bleeding and inflammation. With microdermabrasion, you get stupendous results and multiple benefits with rapid post procedure recovery. These peels can be used effectively to correct a range of conditions including sun damage, hyper pigmentation, fine lines, increased pore size, acne and scarring linked to pimple breakouts as well as any other form of superficial scarring. Typically, microdermabrasion is undertaken to treat scars and other dermal issues on the face but you could just as well use the hardware on your chest, back, hands, feet and neck. In other words, the process is perfectly well suited for any area of the body that could use a youthful glow. What to expect during microdermabrasion? One of the reasons for the surge in popularity of these diamond peels is that the process is painless. The machine has a wand with an abrasive tip that is rolled all over the skin while a suction head removes the debris of skin cells that gets dislodged as a result. Although there will be some amount of redness after the session, you certainly won't need anesthetics to dull the pain. At its worst, it feels like you have scrubbed your face too hard which has caused some amount of smarting, and when it isn't so bad, it simply feels like your pet cat has given your face a thorough licking.

...aromatherapy is very comparable to using essential oils with humans. When you are using essential oils with dogs you must keep in mind the size of the dog, and carefully test for allergies, just as you would in using the oils on yourself. If you try an essential oil and the dog whines, drools, its eye tear up, or it rubs its head on the ground trying to get away from the scent, then you should discontinue use of the oil and try a different scent. Dog Aromatherapy Recipes Less is more when it comes to our pets. Use only a drop or two of essential oils to an ounce of carrier oil such as sweet almond or jojoba for a medium sized dog of around 30 pounds. For a much smaller dog you may want to use 1 or 2 drops to 2 ounces of carrier oil. For a larger dog decrease the amount of carrier oil. If you are making a spray…a medium sized dog would use about 20 drops to 8 ozs of water. Small dog 10 drops of essential oil to 8 ozs of water, large dog might be 30 drops of oil to 8 ozs of water. Monitor the dog after the first few uses to see its reaction to the oil. Animals can be allergic to essential oils, just as humans can and what works fine for one dog may not work for another....

...Why They Are Called, “Essential Oils” and Where They Get Their Individual Names Also known as ethereal oils, volatile oils, aetherolea, and oil of the plant, essential oils get their individual names from their source, for example, Rose essential oil is named after the Rose Bush it is extracted from, and Eucalyptus essential oil is named after the Eucalyptus tree it originates from.
