Answer:
One can minimize the threat of type II diabetes by understanding the threat and making modifications in the lifestyle. The general risk factors comprise increased blood pressure, increased weight, increased blood fat and cholesterol levels. Some of the tips that can be followed in minimizing the risk of type II diabetes are:
1. Manage the weight: The extra amount of fat accumulated mainly in the region of the abdomen can elevate the resistance of the body to the hormone insulin, which can further increase the threat of the disease.
2. One should eat a healthy and balanced diet and should exercise regularly.
3. Limit the consumption of alcohol and restrict takeaway and processed foods.
4. There is a need to monitor the blood pressure and smokers are two times more likely to develop the disease in comparison to non-smokers, thus, one should also quit smoking.
5. Minimize the threat of cardiovascular disease and one should see the doctor for routine check-ups.
1 a) I chose a close male friend who is a computer professional.
b) The reason why I chose him is that I know his daily schedule and his lifestyle habits as well.
c) Knowing that he is a computer professional, he tends to spend a lot of time on the chair, in front of the computer screen. For the same reason, he has almost no flexibility and has limited time and interest to stretch his joints. Hence, the health practice that I'd be initiating with him would be various stretches that he can do, to flex and use his joints and other muscles as well.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Stretching is a way of keeping muscles and body parts toned as well as healthy and smooth in use. It keeps the joints active, subtle and active for a longer period.
2) Keeping my friend's sedentary physical lifestyle in view, I planned out a series of stretches which could be practiced daily without spending too much extra time on it and would activate his joints and muscles, which ultimately would keep them active, healthy and lead to an overall toned body.
For the same, series of stretches that were put into practice for him were:
- Wrist rotation: this would make the wrist more relaxed as otherwise, the position of the wrist tends to be the same throughout the day, as he keeps being on the computer screen.
- Neck rotation: Doing a full circle clockwise and anti-clockwise. This activates the spine as well as releases the shoulders from stiffness.
- Standing bend over: This stretches the hamstrings and activates the internal organs of the stomach, thus activating the midsection of the body as well.
- Calf stretches: As the name suggests, it flexes the calves, which otherwise are least used when one keeps sitting.
- Foot rotation: Similar to neck rotation, this would be rotating the foot in both, clock and anti-clockwise. This relaxes the lower body without much exertion.
These many stretches would be fine for him for an initial period which would help him activate as well relax his joints and muscles.
As the series would not be too time-consuming, he took to doing the same during then start of the day and kept doing it at intervals when he felt stressed out or fatigued.
D.
April is not very mentally healthy, regardless if she is actually physically unhealthy. Low self esteem about weight can lead to dangerous mental disorders. Barbara is not socially healthy, as it states she often fights with her team mates. Marta is not physically healthy, as a primarily junky diet can lead to weight and heart issues. Terrence seems to have his physical and mental states in check.
Answer:
b) naturalistic observation.
Explanation:
Naturalistic observation is a descriptive method that carefully and thoroughly examines the behavior of individuals in an ecological context, that is, in their natural habitat. While the experimental method consisted of manipulating a variable to verify in a rigorously controlled manner the effect of this manipulation on the dependent variable, that is, it sought to establish a causal relationship between two phenomena, explaining one by the other. In the case of naturalistic observation there is no manipulation of variables because it is observation of spontaneous behavior in natural situations, under uncontrolled conditions. Based on this context, we can say that the team used naturalistic observation when studying the ups and downs of human humor, counting positive and negative words in 504 million Twitter messages from 84 countries.
