Answer:

  • Does this site show the sources that were used to write this article?
  • Who wrote the article is a health professional?
  • Does this site use scientific evidence?
  • Is this a sales site?
  • Is this a biased site?

Explanation:

The internet is a great place for us to search for information on a wide range of subjects, but we must be careful because many sites do not provide reliable information. This care should be redoubled when researching information in the health sciences field, as this information directly interferes with our safety.

Following are some questions you should ask to know if your site is reliable or not:

  • Does this site show the sources that were used to write this article? Reliable information should be taken from vehicles and trusted professionals. This information should have its sources referenced in a way that shows the reader that the information was not invented and that there is a source that certifies that everything that is being said is correct.
  • Who wrote the article is a health professional? A professional understands what you are talking about and will generate information based on evidence rather than your opinion. An article written by a professional shows ownership in the subject.
  • Does this site use scientific evidence? Scientific evidence shows that the information is true and has been proven through experiments.
  • Is this a sales site? Sales sites often use misleading information that leads you to buy the product the site is selling, stating that the product will be good for your health. An example of this is drugs for imagining, where sales sites advertise that the medicine will not be harmful to health, which we know is not true.
  • Is this a biased site? Biased websites often provide exaggerated and meaningless information. These sites often display apocalyptic information such as "See the terrible problems Apricot Shampoo causes in the body."

enot [183]

Answer:

stress relates to nutrition in that <em>the more stressed a person is, the more likely he'll crave for food or not eat at all</em>

and it relates to substance abuse in that<em> stressed individuals sometimes make poor choices in managing stress</em>

Explanation:

"Stress" is a normal reaction of a person's body when faced with unexpected, challenging or demanding things.

The more stressed a person is, the more likely he'll choose unhealthy foods or those foods which are high in sugar. At this time, it is the person's comfort food. There's also a possibility that the person will not eat anything at all or skip his meals because of overthinking or doing many things.

Sometimes, a person makes poor choices in managing/coping with stress such as turning into substance abuse, smoking, binge-drinking and so on.
