On Monday, July 27th I attended the two o’clock meeting for the Friends in Recovery over zoom. The style of this meeting was democratic. It was well structured, yet very laid back. There were two co- hosts who structured the meeting so that they fit in the reading of the twelve traditions and twelve steps, prayer, new member introductions, an individual’s journey to sobriety, comments and questions for the speaker, and then some last words to wrap everything up. The origin of this group is in South Africa and welcomes those from all over the world. They meet every single…

Introduction: background information on health issue: effects on population and relevant statics

Obesity is an expanding problem that threatens one’s health, mobility and independence. The rate of obesity has doubled around the globe since 1980. There are several genetic, hormonal, psychological, and environmental factors in which cause obesity to occur. In the United States, roughly 40% of people suffer from obesity and it is now considered a “pandemic”. There are also disparities among all racial and ethnic groups. In Korea and Japan, the extensiveness of obesity is about 10%, but over the last decade the rates of obesity have increased…

History

The history of child protective orders has evolved throughout the decades and child protective services has transformed to what they are in today’s society. Prior to 1875, there were very few interventions in place to protect children from abuse or witnessing abuse. The emergence was after the case of Mary Ellen Wilson who was beaten and neglected as a child. The abuse she endured was brought to the attention of Etta Wheeler, a religious missionary, who contacted local authorities that declined investigation into the claims. As there were no programs in place for abused children, she turned to the…

1.) Restrict Calories Naturally, our first instinct is to limit the amount of calories we consume through out the day. For a week or so, you will begin to see results and think that this is the plan for you. Then suddenly our body adapts and goes into a plateau. Thus, weight loss is stalled and fat storage is in progress. Your body is amazing in respect to how quickly it is able to adapt. When you are not supplying yourself with enough calories, you begin to store fat for protection and insulation. We require certain macro/ micronutrients to live…

Introduction

“One new approach for treating mood and anxiety disorders is hatha yoga, a form of yoga that uses physical postures in combination with breathing and/or meditation practices,”(Vollbehr et al. 2018).

Abstract

Childhood obesity is a national health crisis that leads to serious physical and mental health issues. The rise in childhood obesity by 4.7% since the year 2000 indicates that the U.S. healthcare system is not doing enough to reduce the scope of this issue (CDC, 2019). The purpose of this literature review is to communicate the state of evidence regarding pediatric obesity, specifically in relation to predicting obesity, interventions, and long/short term health implications. …

Abstract

A central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a prominent issue in the healthcare field, most commonly seen in intensive care units (ICU). The CDC reports an estimated 41,000 deaths caused by CLABSI each year in the U.S. Many researchers across the world have studied on how to best prevent these infections from occurring. Most of the studies consisted of improving hand hygiene, proper aseptic technique, donning sterile gloves and gowns, etc. Placing these guidelines into practice have shown a significant drop in CLABSI rates. The proposed solution of this paper is to create core measures that are standardized throughout…
