wrtie an observation 3 topic

Prompts to help you frame your questions/comments/ observations. 

1. After you complete your reading you should write down three observations/descriptions and/or questions related to what you learned about in the videos, lectures and reading.  If you write down observations/descriptions be complete in your responses.  Do not just copy text or repeat information but instead paraphrase it and write your observations as if you  are the teacher explaining the topic to a friend or family member. (6 pts.) 
2. You must respond to at least two of your classmates observations/questions.   To receive full credit, responses should be substantive (e.g. "cool" is not substantive- tell me and your classmates why you think it is cool). (4 pts.). 

Observation 1:  Importance of a Balanced Diet

       In 2011, the U.S. government introduced "Choose MyPlate," a tool aimed at promoting healthier eating. This tool guides people on choosing proper foods from the five main food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and proteins. "Choose MyPlate" is designed to help Americans easily understand and follow healthy eating guidelines. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet, which includes a variety of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Eating a mix of these foods ensures that our bodies get the essential nutrients needed to function well.

Observation 2: Important of maintain healthy weight

 A 2008 study in the journal Obesity predicted that if current habits don't change, all Americans will be overweight or obese by 2048. This highlight indicating require for healthy eating habits and more physical activity. Strong public health policies and lifestyle changes are required to prevent these issues. The 2010 dietary guidelines highlighted obesity as a major health concern and promoted prevention to avoid complications from obesity, emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Observation 3: Important of nutrition and mineral intake 

I learned that nutritional needs vary with a person’s life stage. Adolescents need more calcium for bone growth, while older adults, especially women over fifty-one, need more calcium due to bone deterioration. Pregnant women require more protein and vitamins like folate for fetal development and to prevent defects. The USDA provides dietary guidelines for different life stages, and eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can slow aging and reduce disease risk. This underlines the importance of adapting our diet to our physiological needs at each life stage for health and longevity.

          After reading Chapter 1, I learned how the treatment of peptic ulcers has evolved. In the past, people treated ulcers with diet changes and stress management. Now, we use antibiotics for treatment. This shift happened because of the discovery of H. pylori, showing how medical research helps us improve treatments.

Observation 1: In the past, people thought peptic ulcers came from stress and diet. In 1990s, scientists agreed that H. pylori cause peptic ulcers. This led to using antibiotics for treatment. Public health campaigns and more research, like studying the bacterium’s DNA, have made our understanding and treatments better. The work of Marshall and Warren on this discovery won them the Nobel Prize in 2005. This shows how science updates old ideas with new, proven information to help improve health care.

Observations 2: According to 2008 study in the journal Obesity stating in the article that "if current trends are not changed, 100 percent of Americans will be overweight or obese in 2048!"  A 2008 study published in the journal Obesity warned that if we do not change our current habits, all Americans could be overweight or obese by 2048. This alarming is indicating the importance of adopting healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity. Strong public health policies and lifestyle changes are crucial to avoid these health issues. The 2010 dietary guidelines also emphasized obesity as a serious health concern and encouraged society to prevent complications from obesity. This information is useful for understanding how to prevent and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Observation 3: I learned that the person's stage of life impacts their health and nutritional needs. Adolescents require more calcium to support rapid bone growth. As people age, the bones deteriorate, especially in women post-fifty-one, necessitating increased calcium intake. Pregnant women need more protein and specific vitamins like folate to support fetal development and prevent birth defects. The USDA offers dietary guidelines for various life stages. Additionally, consuming a diet rich in vegetables and fruits can slow aging and reduce disease risk. This emphasizes the importance of tailoring one's diet to their physiological needs at each life stage for healthy aging and longevity.

          After reading Chapter 1, I learned how the treatment of peptic ulcers has evolved. In the past, people treated ulcers with diet changes and stress management. Now, we use antibiotics for treatment. This shift happened because of the discovery of H. pylori, showing how medical research helps us improve treatments.

Observation 1: In the past, people thought peptic ulcers came from stress and diet. Doctors recommended the "Sippy diet," which involved drinking milk and eating bland foods to reduce stomach acid. However, this didn't solve the underlying problem and even increased heart disease risk due to the diet's high fat content.

Observation 2: In the 1980s, Australian doctors Barry Marshall and Robin Warren suggested a new cause for peptic ulcers. They believed that a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) caused peptic ulcer. Their studies showed that H. pylori affected the stomach lining and causes ulcers. I have learned that Marshall infected himself with the bacterium, experienced symptoms, and then treated himself with antibiotics to get better.

Observation 3: In the 1990s, scientists confirmed that H. pylori bacteria cause peptic ulcers. Based on their research, they began treating ulcers with antibiotics. These changes show how medical science evolves through research to improve treatments. For their groundbreaking work, Marshall and Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005.
