Taming Fat
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing some of the discoveries associating obesity with genetic predisposition. Obesity is approaching “epidemic” levels in the United States, and along with its increase also are rises in incidence of diabetes. Diabetes’ high blood sugar damages organs, including the heart, kidneys and eyes. Diabetes is in itself a risk factor for heart disease, and we have known for years that high serum cholesterol (i.e., fat) constitutes a separate risk factor for heart disease as well. The purpose here is to trace fat’s progress and examine some of the factors resulting in some people being lean, others becoming obese while practicing very similar dietary habits.

The Atkins Diet: Protein, Carbohydrates And Calories
[ send me this paper ]
21 pages in length. Contemporary diets reflect the significant pressures that are placed upon those who are both impressionable and vulnerable. With the primary influence being that of popular culture, overweight individuals are faced with difficult choices when it comes to proper food choices and weight loss programs. In order to maintain a sense of acceptance, people often forego the necessary elements of a proper and healthful diet in exchange for one full of simple sugars, worthless carbohydrates and empty calories. When protein is allowed into the diet, it is typically in the form of a fast food hamburger or other kind of inadequate source. Educating overweight individuals about the importance of proper nutrition is a difficult task, particularly in light of such purported healthful and safe weight loss programs such as the Atkins diet. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

The Benefits of Exercise and Other Factors in the Prevention of Heart Disease
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper with tutorial language inserted discussing the benefits of exercise and other factors in the prevention of heart disease. Heart disease in the United States is responsible for the death of five times as many women than is breast cancer yet many women are not aware of this fact. In addition, over four million Americans have congestive heart failure that costs the health care system over $10 billion annually. Regardless of the high risks of heart disease and failure which are reported, researchers have found that exercise and other preventative methods can reduce the risk of heart disease by 50 percent and exercise applied to those who have experienced congestive heart failure also helps in improving the overall functionality of the patient. Overall, researchers have found that exercise combined with quitting smoking, reducing cholesterol levels, loss of weight in those who are overweight and for women, the addition of hormone replacement therapy during and after menopause, are all the best preventative measures at lowering the risk of heart disease.
