Late 18th century Edit
On July 16, 1798, President John Adams signed the first Federal public health law, "An act for the relief of sick and disabled Seamen." This assessed every seaman at American ports 20 cents a month. This was the first prepaid medical care plan in the United States. The monies were used for the care of sick seamen and the building of seamen's hospitals. This act created the Marine Hospital Service under the Department of the Treasury. In 1802 Marine Hospitals were operating in Boston; Newport; Norfolk; and Charleston, S.C. and medical services were contracted in other ports

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What are the recommended daily requirements of EPA and DHA to reduce the risk of heart disease, for a patient who comes into the clinic to ask how she can prevent the development of chronic diseases, would be: A: 500 mg/day.

Explanation:

DHA and EPA are two of the three types of omega 3 fatty acids that are not produced by the human body but that are needed to reduce the problems with heart and cardiovascular conditions in general, and also metabolism problems. Daily, people need to consume a certain amount of these two fatty acids through largely fish consumption. Fish, especially fatty fish like salmon, have been shown to have great quantities of these acids, and that is why the Dietary Guidelines recommend including seafood, but mostly these fatty fish, into the diet at least twice a week. The total amount of DHA and EPA that must be consumed by a person is 500 mg per day, while in pregnant women, the amount should be twice.

Explanation:

Since the students' who only composed the message results weren't as good as the students' who spoke about the topic, the conclusion that can be taken from the experiment is that when you talk about something, you can better absorb the information gathered and therefore apply it more effectively.
