Warning Signs on Abuse

Some warning signs on abuse are pretty easy to notice. If you know someone who is depressed, has a lot of bruises, are stressed, and/or is keeping to themselves you might want to talk to them to make sure everything is okay.

Cyberbullying You Cant Take It Back

I watched a video on cyberbullying and it was a story of a guy who went on a web site his friends had made to rate girls from their school, he rated them thinking it was all just for fun and no one would get hurt, but then the next day his friends showed the whole site to the school and a lot of girls got upset. He said that that wasn't even the worst part because when he got home his little sister was crying because she was also put on the site and he didn't know about it. Now he could be expelled and some of his friends have been kicked from the school.

I think this guy was too trusting with his friends, and that its not cool to post your thoughts about a person on the internet because after its posted you cant take it back. I hope he learned a lot from this and that he wont do it ever again. I bet a lot of people dont like him now because of what he posted including his younger sister who was also on the site. If I was placed in his shoes I wouldn't have gone on the site and if they were my friends I would have stopped hanging out with them for putting my younger sister on the site, and because they still haven't matured to that age where they notice that actions have consequences.

Final Blog

The three most important things I learned in health class were: learning how many calories I should get daily around (1500). About how many hours of exercise I need(60 min.). Above all how many hours of sleep I should get(9hrs.).

One thing I learned in health class is that a healthy diet is essential to a happy and fulfilling life style. Something I would change about health class is less internet usage. What surprised me was how much fun I had arguing with Matt and Blake about ridiculous things such as the topic of who's fault it is when coming to rape. Two words of advice: Be Positive!

Vegetarian Diet

Some people follow a "vegetarian" diet, but there's no single vegetarian eating pattern. The vegan or total vegetarian diet includes only foods from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), grains, seeds and nuts. The lactovegetarian diet includes plant foods plus cheese and other dairy products. The ovo-lactovegetarian (or lacto-ovovegetarian) diet also includes eggs. Semi-vegetarians don't eat red meat but include chicken and fish with plant foods, dairy products and eggs.

• Protein: You don't need to eat foods from animals to have enough protein in your diet. Plant proteins alone can provide enough of the essential and non-essential amino acids, as long as sources of dietary protein are varied and caloric intake is high enough to meet energy needs.
• Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, seeds and nuts all contain both essential and non-essential amino acids. You don't need to consciously combine these foods ("complementary proteins") within a given meal.
• Soy protein has been shown to be equal to proteins of animal origin. It can be your sole protein source if you choose.
• Iron: Vegetarians may have a greater risk of iron deficiency than nonvegetarians. The richest sources of iron are red meat, liver and egg yolk -- all high in cholesterol. However, dried beans, spinach, enriched products, brewer's yeast and dried fruits are all good plant sources of iron.
• Vitamin B-12: This comes naturally only from animal sources. Vegans need a reliable source of vitamin B-12. It can be found in some fortified (not enriched) breakfast cereals, fortified soy beverages, some brands of nutritional (brewer's) yeast and other foods (check the labels), as well as vitamin supplements.
• Vitamin D: Vegans should have a reliable source of vitamin D. Vegans who don’t get much sunlight may need a supplement.
• Calcium: Studies show that vegetarians absorb and retain more calcium from foods than nonvegetarians do. Vegetable greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli, and some legumes and soybean products, are good sources of calcium from plants.
• Zinc: Zinc is needed for growth and development. Good plant sources include grains, nuts and legumes. Shellfish are an excellent source of zinc. Take care to select supplements containing no more than 15-18 mg zinc. Supplements containing 50 mg or more may lower HDL ("good") cholesterol in some people.

• Keep your intake of sweets and fatty foods to a minimum. These foods are low in nutrients and high in calories.
• Choose whole or unrefined grain products when possible, or use fortified or enriched cereal products.
• Use a variety of fruits and vegetables, including foods that are good sources of vitamins A and C.
• If you use milk or dairy products, choose fat-free/nonfat and low-fat varieties.
• Eggs are high in cholesterol (213 mg per yolk), so monitor your use of them. Limit your cholesterol intake to no more than 300 mg per day.

Health deffinitions

Carbohydrates: Mainly sugars and starches, together constituting one of the three principal types of nutrients used as energy sources (calories) by the body. Carbohydrates can also be defined chemically as neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Cholesterol: The most common type of steroid in the body, cholesterol has gotten something of a bad name. However, cholesterol is a critically important molecule.

Diets: Diets are a form of managing your weight by eating different types of food.

Fat: 1 Along with proteins and carbohydrates, one of the three nutrients used as energy sources by the body. The energy produced by fats is 9 calories per gram. Proteins and carbohydrates each provide 4 calories per gram. 2 Total fat; the sum of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Intake of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can help reduce blood cholesterol when substituted for saturated fats in the diet. 3 A slang term for obese or adipose. 4 In chemistry, a compound formed from chemicals called fatty acids. These fats are greasy, solid materials found in animal tissues and in some plants. Fats are the major component of the flabby material of a body, commonly known as blubber.

Food: Any substance eaten to provide nutritional support for the body

Protein: Protein is a large molecule composed of one or more chains of amino acids. In a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the DNA coding for the protein.

Saturated fat: A fat that is solid at room temperature and comes chiefly from animal food products. Some examples are butter, lard, meat fat, solid shortening, palm oil, and coconut oil. These fats tend to raise the level of cholesterol in the blood.

Unsaturated fat: A fat that is liquid at room temperature and comes from a plant such as olive, peanut, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, or soybean. Unsaturated fats tend to lower the level of cholesterol in the blood.

What is the difference between risk factors and warning signs? Warning signs are abrupt changes in personality, the person might give away possessions and may have had a previous suicide attempt. When risk factors are problems with family school or even the law. It is also things like a breakup, or unexpected pregnancy.

Warning signs for depression: some warning signs for depression would be withdrawal from family or loved ones, constant boredom, carelessness,and talking about suicide. You should be careful/more sensitive to their feelings when interacting with someone who might have these symptoms you wouldn't want to accidentally push them to the point of suicide. Things that might seem small to you like a little insult could be catastrophic to their feelings people are more vulnerable when they are feeling down. But if the smallest insult can do so much damage then the smallest thing like compliment can can do the exact opposite.

Risk factors for signs of depression and suicide are fairly similar to warning signs but they do have their differences. Risk factors for depression and suicide seem to be more severe like loss of security feeling alone not talking to family friends they might be stressed out or worse they may have accidentally caused the death or seriously injured someone. If you know someone with these symptoms either Risk or Warning signs use the advice in paragraph 2.
