Baked Potatoes or French Fries
Is it ever a wonder that kids get away with eating the darndest things. They gobble candy ice pops, french fries and for the most part remain amazingly thin and fit. However, adults with the same type of diet are high-cholesterol dynamites just waiting for an explosion into triple-bypass heaven. Why do the little brats get to eat what ever they so desire without worry, while adults have to monitor every gram of anything that even considers passing through their lips? Basically, this is because children expend an amazing amount of calories due to their active lifestyles. Have you ever noticed a child walking with his mother in a shopping mall? For every one step that the mother takes, the child must take two in order to keep up, causing him to be in a constant gait alongside the mother. Thus the child is burning much more calories than the mother is. In addition, compare the lunch break of a typical adult versus that of a typical school child. How many adults that you know eat their lunch as fast as possible so that they can play tag for an hour before going back to work? And playing tag for an hour requires more fuel than having an hour discussion on the headline story of Quantum Mechanics Weekly. This is not to say that adults and children have the same physiological makeup and functions that they can be considered completely comparable to one another. However, the two can be fairly paralleled to each other if you just consider the human body's nutritional needs as related to the energy utilized by daily activities. Simply, the more you burn, the more food you need.
And so, with the above premise it can logically be concluded that adults who exercise have greater caloric needs (just as does t...

It has long been established that both short and long-term exercise increase metabolic rate and heat production. This naturally predisposes participants to dehydration. Typical symptoms of dehydration include elevated temperature, fluid and electrolyte imbalance due to sweating, and loss of critical nutrients, such as glycogen (depleted via metabolic pathways). Many individuals participating in moderate to rigorous training schedules may engage in daily exercise, if not multiple exercise routines in one day (3,4,5,6). It then follows that the goal for these individuals should be avoidance of dehydration and maximization of rehydration through maintenance of electrolyte balance, replenishment of muscle glycogen, and plasma osmolality. Thus, examination of a fluid’s efficacy in these three areas is crucial. Through extensive research, it is evident that Gatorade will rehydrate faster and more effectively than water.
The film starts with what the government and many food companies say: that people become obese because do not exercise as much as they eat, and that obesity is caused by lack of effort. As the film suggest, exercise can moderate
The American Revolution provided many opportunities for women to break gender barriers. With so many of the men lending their time to the cause, the women of the American Revolution found themselves in unchartered territory. The men were away for days, weeks, months at a time fighting or building and rallying the nation, leaving women
Children that live an unhealthy lifestyle are more prone to becoming obese later in life. Furthermore, the cause of children becoming more obese includes; children that do not participate in physical activity, children that eat lots of snacks, play video games or watch TV, and that do not eat a healthy balanced meal. In addition, the parent or guardian of the child also plays a role in whether the child becomes obese or not by “What” they offer the child to eat, and the type of environment the food is served in such as “When” and “Where” food is offered. Moreover, as a child grows there are different food exposures that create a preference for food intake, these exposures include sweet & salty foods, familiar foods, consumption of foods high
It is apparent that living an unhealthy lifestyle, as well as eating poorly, negatively affects one’s health. From a young age it is quickly learned which foods are considered healthful as opposed to junk food. It is a parents responsibility to supervise the intake of their child's food, however there is a higher risk than ever before of childhood obesity.
In the 21st century childhood obesity is regarded as one of the most serious public health challenges faced by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2013). Figures recorded by the National Child Measurement programme for the 2011/12 period showed children aged 10-11, of which 14.7% were overweight and a further 19.2% figure were classed as obese. Statistics from the same report also indicate boys in the same age group are more likely to be obese with a figure of 20.7% compared to a 17.7% figure for girls. These figures are a large cause for concern for both these children and on a wider scale, society. Obesity is caused by a number of factors that can range from the not so obvious of social class, to the clear lack of exercise and poor diet. Obese or overweight children are more likely to carry this status into adulthood and put themselves at an increased risk of developing associated health problems such as raised cholesterol, high blood pressure and even premature mortality (Public Health England, 2013). Obesity is defined as the over consumption of calories in relation to little physical activity, this means calories consumed are not being burnt but turned into fat cells (NHS, 2012).
The Revolutionary War had a major effect politically on the Colonists, mainly the women. Prior to the war, women lacked all rights; they were expected to cook, clean, and raise families. However, after the revolution, women began to gain more rights. Women gained the power to be able to divorce their husbands if they chose to, something they never could have done before. “The expansion of the public sphere during the era of the Revolution offered women an opportunity to take part in political discussions, and read newspaper¬”(On The Equality of the Sexes (1790), 154). After the revolution women were allowed to join conversations that had to do with politics, they were given the right to educate themselves about the government by reading the daily paper. During American Revolution, some women fought alongside the men while other women helped injured soldiers regain their health. The actions taken by the women caused the ideas about women to change after the war, even The Revolution was accompanied by dramatic changes in the lives of women. Before the Revolution, many women were involved in campaigns to boycott British imports. During the war, many women made items for the war effort and ran farms and businesses in the absence of their husbands. After the Revolution, American women, for the fir...
How does one define death? Can it be defined as when one stops living? Are there different stages of death? In what way is one able to tell when one human is so dead that they are unable to return? In the case of a newborn child, who cannot make decisions for themselves, is it the doctor or the parents that are permitted to determine when the child can be pronounced dead? One must ask themselves all of these questions when dealing with the life of an anencephalic baby. Anencephalic babies are born with beating hearts, and the ability to breathe and blink. However, they have no present upper brain. The fine line between determining if these characteristics classify the child as dead or alive is where the controversy begins. Multiple laws and cases have been presented over this subject but nothing has ever made it far enough to be passed. Numerous infants and toddlers die each year waiting for organs that never come. If one child, who is going to die a short, painful death, is able to save children who could live a long fulfilling life then they should be allowed to . When ones fetus is given a life altering diagnosis of anencephaly one must decide whether they are going to make the best of the situation or ignore it all together. One should take control of the situation. The difference between life and death for anencephalic infants is that these infants are already dead. By utilizing their bodies for their organs one is ending the infants suffering, and in turn doing the humane thing.
In late October 1850, the papacy plans to restore the Catholic Hierarchy on English soil were announced. Since the 17th century Catholics in England had been under the governance of Vicars Apostolic, rather than bishops, in a type of organisation reserved for mission lands with no established parish administration. The protestant reaction, fuelled by fear of the Catholic faith being restored in England, was instantaneous. As Walter Ralls recalls, the announcement began “a national outcry that swept along nearly every shade of the press and the pulpit with the established church and much of dissent joined in a most uncharacteristic show of unity”. The Papacy’s plans became known as Papal Aggression and “no event could rival its continued fascination of the public” . In this essay I will look to explore why the Protestant majority in England saw the move as such a threat to the nation; from this I hope to reveal as to how and why the religious state of the country in the mid 19th century had actually become increasingly fragile. To me, there are four main features to the nature of the perceived Catholic threat. To start with, the rise in the number of Catholics in England in the early 19th century was huge, largely as a result of Irish immigration. This was met with progressive anti Catholic resentment as well as large amounts of Protestant rhetoric on the incompatibility of Catholicism amongst English Political institutions; all this, coincided with the unsettled condition of Protestantism at the time as well as a revitalised Catholic network in
The development onto ‘stage 2’, should occur between 12 - 24 months (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014). Stage 2 consists of the linguistic stage, this is where children’s language can be deciphered into utterances of singular words. This is around the time children will be able to say one syllable common words, such as mum or dad (Miller & Gildea, 1994). This supports Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. It supports this as language is being developed through an activity of mimicking their caregiver’s words (Fellows & Oakley, 2014). Between the ages of 24-36 months young children develop most of their basic language skills that will assist them in school life and beyond. It is during this period that children enter ‘stage 3’. Stage 3 is still the linguistic stage however this is where children create phrases from their common word vocabulary (Fellow & Oakley, 2014). This is when children are at their most rapid period of learning words. They possess the ability to learn an excess of 10,000 words per day (Miller & Gildea, 1994). While a child’s vocabulary is drastically expanding during this time, children are still learning to speak in sentences. This can mean they may omit the function words from their sentence’s, for example “dog big” rather than “the dog is big”(Fellow & Oakley, 2014). These stages of a child’s language development are crucial. It is this time period
The rule of plurals for young children can be quite difficult. Children do not simply memorise what each plural sound is but they have created a rule by themselves of plural use which they can use on words that they have never heard before. This shows that children don’t necessarily imitate others in every
A lot of children are overweight and obese too, unfortunately. Childhood obesity is especially sad because, for the most part, the parents are at fault. The child, especially when they’re young, have no control over what they eat and couldn’t try to be healthy, even if they wanted to. “In 2013, 42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight of obese.” (Obesity and
Although children may develop the very different way they begin to add the grammatical “glue” that holds together adult sentences, such as tense and number markers, possessive markers, helping verbs, and certain prepositions. This marks the transition to the next stage of development, what we might term the grammatical morpheme stage. Most children learn to speak using different words, giving them their own meaning to complete their prayer
Physical activity for everyone: Overcoming barriers to physical activity. (2011, February 14). Retrieved from http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/getactive/barriers.html
Increased physical activity can help eliminate or reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer in adults. The article discusses numerous ways schools can implement policies and programs at the state, district, school and classroom level to help increase participation of students in more physical activities. Data was collected via the methods discussed above to help schools improve their efforts to engage children in physical activities that could also help them later in life (Burgeson, Fulton, & Spain (2007).
