Contrary to popular belief, the obesity “epidemic” doesn’t say much about the health of american citizens as a whole. It is not inherently unhealthy to be obese, there are plenty of obese people who are perfectly healthy and in good shape and their levels are fine. But because we live in an inherently fatphobic society we are conditioned to think fat is unhealthy. Although it CAN be unhealthy there are many reasons why someone could be obese; eating disorders, using food as a coping mechanism, overeating compulsively, PCOS and messed up hormones, medication, chronic illness, etc.
Obesity is not a disease, it is not an “epidemic”. Honestly the only thing it really demonstrates is that poor people don’t have enough access to cheap and healthy food and that we don’t have enough support for fat people suffering from eating disorders. I’m not saying “we should all be obese, it’s great and awesome!!” I’m saying not all obese people are these lazy unfit people like you’d see on my 600 lb life

Episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, cough and shortness of breath will the nurse expect when caring for a patient who is a experiencing worsening of asthma symptom

<h3>What is Asthma ?</h3>

A chronic (long-lasting) disease that affects the lungs' airways is asthma. The tubes that let air into and out of your lungs are called airways. The airways may occasionally swell and restrict if you have asthma. As a result, it is more difficult for air to leave your airways when you exhale.

  • Urban dwellers and those who grew up there are more likely to get asthma. Asthma is more likely to affect obese or overweight kids and adults. Although the causes are unknown, some doctors suggest that being overweight causes low-grade inflammation in the body.

Adam is warming up before baseball practice. Which of these activities would provide the best dynamic stretch to prepare him for
kenny6666 [7]

<u>The answer is "arm swings".</u>


Dynamic stretching for baseball is the best method to appropriately warm up the muscles, joints, and tendons preceding tossing or strenuous exercise. The old design technique for static stretching for pitchers has ended up being incapable as a warm up, and may even lessen touchiness in competitors.  

Arm Swings while standing straight up, you will then swing one arm up over your head with a controlled movement. At that point rehash with the other arm. Perform ten reiterations on each arm. This will enable warm-to up the rotator cuff and upper back.
