Answer:

Explanation:

It all depends on the persons perspective for instance I don’t do the proper portions size simple because they are so restricting if you want to eat something you should not be judged for what you eat you should be able to eat the amount that keeps you happy but to a certain extant there may be limits like acting a bucket of chicken in one sitting then you might have something up

Which factors would negatively impact the body’s digestive system?

andrey2020 [161]

This is an extremely loaded question! There are an infinite amount of factors that play into how well or poorly you digest your food. Here are some I think are major ones:
State of your digestive system
· Probiotics - the presence of good bacteria is so important in properly processing your food; ingesting fermented foods regularly or taking probiotic supplements will help boost the number of probiotics in your system; pretty much everyone can benefit from supplementing with probiotics or eating probiotic rich foods as taking antibiotics or eating conventionally grown meat, fruits or vegetables can decrease the healthy flora
· Enzymes - enzymes are crucial in helping you break down the food in your stomach; some people choose to supplement with enzymes while there is a differing school of thought that if you supplement with enzymes, your body develops a reliance on it and does not produce their own; I tend to take enzymes when I have a heavier meal to act as support
What you eat
· Quantity of food- the more you eat, the more work your body has to do; I'm pretty sure anyone can relate to overeating
· Quality of food– as stated above, conventionally grown food can have additional chemicals that can throw off the balance of your gut
How you eat
· Food combining - this is an extensive topic but basically the more complicated your meals are, the harder they are to digest; general food combining rules: eat fruit alone and on an empty stomach, don't combine protein and starches
· Mood/mindset when you're eating - eating when you're happy is a way better digestive experience than eating when you're sad, angry, or stressed; being able to mindfully eat also helps
· Mood/mindset when you're cooking – this is a little woo-woo but cooking when sad, angry or stressed imparts that property to the food and can cause issues; one time I cooked a meal for my husband when I was very upset at him, he had a stomach ache that night; another example – mom's home cooking – nothing can replace it because your mom puts her love into it
· Environment you are eating in - eating in a quiet environment vs. a loud one can effect your digestive system
· Chewing – chewing your food thoroughly is so important to helping your digestive system because you don't have anything like teeth in your stomach that will help breakdown food
· When you eat – eating too late, before strenuous activity and in the middle of the night are some of the times that can create poor digestion

1. Why is it difficult to define self-esteem? 2. Is success in life a cause of high self-esteem, an effect of high self-esteem,

Zepler [3.9K]

Hello! Thank you for your question.

1. Self-esteem is hard to describe because there really is no one way to describe it. You could ask two totally different people to describe it for you and they will say two completely different things. There is more then one way to discribe self-esteem.

2. You can be sucessful whether or not you have a high self-esteem or a low self-esteem, it really just depends on how you control it. Yes, having a high self-esteem will help when it comes to being sucessful.

3. Parents can help their child with having a good social self-esteem by being open and honest with their child. If a parent tells there child that they are worthless, ugly, a mistake, etc. it will inturn make that child have a low self-esteem. Since the world is already harsh, it just makes the child have an even lower self-esteem.

4. Parents can help their child have a good academic self-esteem by being helpful with school, by understanding that they aren't alwasy going to make great grades. Parents can also help their child have a good academic self-esteem by never telling them they are stupid, they don't know what they are doing, or by yelling at them and making them feel bad about a bad grade.

5. This is more of a question that you need to answer, you and I may have two different opinions. For example, I don't think that all males/boys are going to grow up to be active and aggressive. I also don't think that all women/girls will grow up to be more calmer and more agreeable. Some teenage girls are definite and don't listen. Some teenage boys, are more quiet and calmer then other boys. Not all boys are going to grow up playing sports and not all girls are going to grow up loving make-up or loving baby dolls. Not every boy, girl, man, women out there is going to be the same and like the exact same thing. For example, not every doctor is a female some are males, not every factory worker is a male some are female, not every cashier or grocery store worker is a women some are male. Also, not every girl is going to grow up wanting to wear pretty dresses some might prefer a pair of jeans and a band t-shirts (I know I do). Some boys might not want to grow up wearing jeans and a nice Holister shirt some might want to were black jeans and a band t-shirt. Not everyone is the same, we may be rasied to wear dresses and jeans and a nice Holister shirt, but not everyone wants to wear that.

I hope this helped you! Anymore questions? Just ask.
