Americans have high rates of preventable diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Children are also becoming less healthy, with increasing rates of conditions like asthma, obesity, and early signs of heart disease. The main causes of poor health are poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and an approach focused on treatment rather than prevention. Eating more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds can help strengthen the immune system and significantly reduce risks of many diseases.

Basic Wellness Presentation Herbst Campbell April 2008
The document discusses Americans' poor health statistics and rising rates of diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. It notes that lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress are major contributors. The document promotes increasing consumption of whole foods like fruits and vegetables as a way to prevent disease and improve health outcomes. It summarizes several clinical studies that show the nutritional supplement Juice Plus+ supports immune health, protects DNA, and positively impacts cardiovascular health markers.
Food As Medicine
The document discusses the concept of "food as medicine" and how proper nutrition can promote health and reduce disease risk. It notes that many leading causes of death in the US, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes, can be partly or wholly attributed to lifelong lack of good nutrition. While modern medicine treats these conditions, prevention through a balanced, mainly unprocessed diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains should be the priority to avoid them altogether.
Effects of Child Undernutrition in the Developing World
Undernutrition, also known as malnutrition, is the largest contributor to child mortality worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Chronic undernutrition can impair cognitive development in children by negatively impacting brain development. Stunting, low height and weight for age, can result from undernutrition. Undernutrition also increases the risk of death from infectious diseases in children. Effective interventions to address undernutrition include promoting breastfeeding, complementary feeding, micronutrient supplementation, improving family nutrition, and reducing disease burden.
Child Undernutrition
Child malnutrition in developing countries leads to over 10 million child deaths per year, with over half of those deaths related to malnutrition. Key deficiencies like vitamin A, zinc, iron and iodine are responsible for over 35% of child deaths globally. Malnutrition can have long-term effects on children's immune systems, cognitive development and physical health that last into adulthood, including increased risk of disease, lower brain function and bone weakness. Addressing malnutrition could significantly improve lives and is an important humanitarian and ethical issue.

How Class And Race Drive Obesity
This document discusses how class and race contribute to obesity rates in the United States. It finds that minorities and those living in poverty have higher obesity rates due to economic disadvantages that limit access to nutritious foods and lead to consumption of cheaper, unhealthy options. Children from impoverished or single-parent homes also have worse health outcomes. Obesity is linked to numerous health problems and significant healthcare costs each year in the U.S.
Window Farms Food Security Project
Background
The idea for the project came from a community eco-design forum that featured the innovative work of Brita Riley. Riley created the first hydroponic window farm installation located in New York City in February of 2009 (Riley). Her objective was to teach those who lived in urban food deserts and worked in office buildings an affordable and easily maintainable way to grow their own food and personally involve them in issues related to agriculture and the environment. Food deserts are an area where large-scale supermarkets have abandoned--leaving the entire community with little or no access to affordable, quality food (Bullard). Riley created a community forum using social media in order to encourage other artists and gardening enthusiasts to develop their own versions of her hydroponic, soilless, gardening system. And she states that
The ultimate aim of the Windowfarms project, however, is not to create a perfected
physical object or product. Rather, the most highly valued result is a rewarding
experience with crowsdsourced innovation. We are interested in the participants’
experience as they design for their own microenvironments, share ideas, rediscover the
power of their own capacity to innovate, and witness themselves playing an active role in
the green revolution (Riley).
Thesis
Even though low income groups produce the lowest ecological footprints, cohort groups who fall below the poverty threshold would benefit in many ways from learning about sustainability practices because they demonstrate the largest need for these principles (Echo). While some low income Americans have learned little about the corporate “green movement” advertised in the media and its impact on the environment, if these cohort groups had better access to information about the income barriers and other economic factors that limit access to education...

Barkley persuasive speech
One in three American adults is obese, affecting both adults and children. In 2008, obesity resulted in $147 billion in direct medical costs in the United States. Obesity increases the risk of health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers, strokes, and joint pain. Everyone is impacted by obesity through rising healthcare costs, as it is one of the leading health issues faced today.
Presentation1obesity
More than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese in 2008 according to CDC statistics, with overweight defined as excess weight from factors like fat or muscle and obesity defined as excess body fat, which can lead to health issues like high cholesterol or blood pressure in youth. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits around diet and physical activity can help lower the risk of obesity and related diseases developing.
Obesity A Scientific Update
- 60% of Americans are overweight or obese, and obesity rates have been increasing over time according to surveys from 1986 to 2007.
- Treating obesity costs over $1,000 more per year than treating someone who is a healthy weight. The costs of obesity-related healthcare have increased tenfold since 1987.
- Visceral fat around the middle poses greater health risks than fat in other areas, increasing the risks of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Waist-to-hip ratio is a better indicator of health risks than BMI alone.
- Factors that influence food cravings and overeating include genes, learned behaviors, social and environmental cues, sleep deprivation, and food addiction in the brain.

Kidney cancer occurs most often in children and one type is Wilms tumor, which typically strikes children between ages 3-8. Risk factors include smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, family history, and certain medicines or jobs. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and swelling. Treatment options depend on the cancer type and stage but may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy. Preventative measures include not smoking and maintaining a healthy weight.
Agron 342 Presentation
Overnutrition and undernutrition are both issues affecting developing countries. Overnutrition is caused by improved economic status, urbanization, and decreased physical activity, leading to obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. It affects females, whites, older people, and the wealthy more. Undernutrition stems from lack of food or inability to absorb nutrients. Both issues raise ethical questions around justice, rights to food, and prioritizing the hungry.

Obesity is defined as having too much body fat based on measurements like BMI. About 30% of the US population is considered obese, which has almost doubled in the last 20 years. This constitutes an epidemic that can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. The rise in obesity is due to factors like increased calorie intake and decreased exercise, as well as the ease of unhealthy eating options and lack of preventative actions. Addressing obesity requires changes like nutrition education, increased physical activity, and prevention programs.
Relay for life
Nearly 3,500 people are diagnosed with cancer daily in the US, with 547,000 Americans dying from cancer each year. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children, with brain tumors being the most common type of pediatric cancer. While the cause is often unknown, early detection and treatment can significantly improve survival rates, but late diagnoses typically prove fatal. Research into new treatments is ongoing but costly.
I-Don\'t-Care-Itis: The Most Common Health Problem In America
The document discusses I-Don't-Care-Itis, a common condition where people have no interest in adopting a healthy lifestyle. It notes that unhealthy lifestyles are the leading cause of chronic diseases and early death in America. While medical treatments can address immediate health problems, they do not fix the underlying issues of an unhealthy diet and sedentary behavior that cause disease. The document advocates adopting healthy lifestyle habits like good nutrition and regular exercise in order to prevent disease and promote long-term health.

Opportunity for the big O (osteoporosis)
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone density and quality, increasing the risk of fractures. It affects over 10 million Americans, with women at higher risk than men. Risk factors include age, weight, family history, smoking, chronic inflammation, and use of corticosteroids. Treatment options include medications like bisphosphonates, calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercise, and nutrition to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis and fractures. Maintaining bone health, especially in younger years, is important to reduce osteoporosis risk later in life.

Lifestyle Medicine: The Power of Personal Choices, North American Vegetarian...
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on applying behavioral and environmental principles to managing lifestyle-related health problems. Chronic diseases now account for 75% of healthcare costs in the US, many of which are strongly associated with diet and physical inactivity. While genetics play a role, the rise of these "lifestyle diseases" correlates with changes in American diets and exercise patterns over recent decades. Prospective randomized studies demonstrate that organized lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce disease incidence and healthcare costs compared to prescription medications. Lifestyle Medicine aims to educate and empower individuals to make personal choices that can transform health outcomes on both individual and societal levels.

The document discusses cardiovascular disease (CVD) statistics in the United States and strategies for prevention. Some key points:
- Over 80 million Americans have some form of CVD, which was responsible for 1 in 3 deaths in 2008.
- The top 10 lifestyle strategies for prevention include not smoking, regular exercise, following a Mediterranean-style diet, moderate alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and achieving ideal cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
- Adopting a combination of these healthy behaviors can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
The power of personal choices: 2018
This lecture discusses how personal choices and lifestyle factors are powerful influences on health. It begins by exploring current health statistics in America, which show high rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. These poor health outcomes are linked to most Americans eating more calories, sugar, salt and meat compared to the past, while being less physically active. The lecture then reviews several scientific studies that demonstrate how lifestyle modifications like improved nutrition, increased exercise, weight management and avoiding tobacco can significantly reduce risks for chronic diseases and mortality. It emphasizes that lifestyle is a major determinant of health outcomes. The lecture concludes by encouraging participants to prioritize healthy living through personal goal setting and lifestyle changes.
