This document provides instructions on how to use logical fallacies to strengthen arguments and potentially deceive others. It describes various common fallacies such as abusive analogy, accent, accident, affirming the consequent, amphiboly, and analogical fallacy. For each, it explains what the fallacy is, provides an example, and suggests how the fallacy could be used to influence an audience or opponent. The overall intent is to outline these reasoning flaws so they can be deliberately employed to manipulate arguments to one's advantage, especially when the evidence or logic does not fully support one's position.

Eat Less Live Longer

kosaytak

benefits of eating less meal and dietary recommendation

Aleena Alvi

1. The document discusses the benefits of eating less frequent meals, which include purification of the heart, softening of the heart, mortification and reduced exultation. 2. It recommends basing meals on starchy foods, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, eating more fish, and cutting down on saturated fat, sugar, and salt. 3. The document emphasizes eating at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables per day for their vitamins, minerals, fiber, and potential disease protection; and provides examples of what constitutes a single portion.

The handshake

Jyoti Kathju

The document discusses different types of handshakes and their meanings. A standard handshake conveys trust, balance and equality, while other handshakes like "wet fish" or "dead fish" indicate weakness. Handshakes can provide clues about a person's personality, background or intentions through variations like pressure applied, eye contact and whether a full grip is given. Politicians may use handshakes like "hand hugs" to appear warm.

Assessment of Obesity

autumnpianist

This document discusses various methods for assessing obesity. It defines obesity as an excess accumulation of body fat that can negatively impact health. Methods of assessing obesity include body mass index (BMI), anatomical fat distribution patterns, biochemical differences between regional fat deposits, and the size and number of fat cells. BMI is a common measure of weight relative to height but may not accurately reflect total body fat. Abdominal fat carries greater health risks than lower body fat. Abdominal fat cells are typically larger and more responsive to hormones. Once gained, fat cells are never lost, even after weight loss.

Obesity

Dr.M.Prasad Naidu

This document discusses obesity and energy balance regulation in the body. It covers topics such as the definition of BMI, types of adipose tissue, health risks of obesity, and trends in obesity worldwide. It then discusses factors contributing to the current obesogenic environment like increased food availability and decreased physical activity. The remainder of the document details the biological mechanisms of energy homeostasis, including hormones like leptin that regulate appetite and metabolism, as well as brain centers involved in energy balance. Potential future therapies for obesity that target these biological pathways are also mentioned.

EAT LESS MEAT -Analysis and valuation of the health and Climate Change co ben...

New Food Innovation Ltd

Millions of lives and trillions of dollars could be saved if people the world over ate more fruits and vegetables and less red meat, according to a new study. Such a shift in global eating patterns would also reduce the planetary burden of greenhouse gas emissions and help halt the worst effects of climate change. The report, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, argues that food-related emissions could fall between 29 and 70 percent by 2050 were the world’s population to adhere to certain dietary guidelines established by global health agencies. Global mortality could drop by as much as 10 percent — preventing as many as 8.1 million deaths per year — and between $1 trillion and $31 trillion could be saved.

Thomas Craven

Metabolic abnormalities in obesity are caused by an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure over time. There are three main components of total energy expenditure - resting energy expenditure, the energy expended during physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. In obesity, resting energy expenditure is increased due to more adipose tissue, but the thermic effect of food is reduced. Adipose tissue stores triglycerides and also functions as an endocrine organ secreting hormones that influence metabolism. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism and adipokine secretion in obesity can lead to medical complications.

7 Tricks for Eating Less

Scullivan

Using smaller plates, drinking water before meals, and eating slowly are some of the tips provided for eating less. Recognizing emotional eating and not feeling guilty about leftovers are also suggested. Adding ancient grains like chia seeds and quinoa to meals provides more nutrients and helps you feel full for longer. The document concludes by promoting a health food store for purchasing these whole foods.

Obesity

Fardan Qadeer

This document provides an overview of obesity including its epidemiology, classification, medical complications, etiology, management, and pharmacotherapy. Some key points: - Over 1.9 billion adults worldwide are overweight, with over 600 million being obese according to WHO 2014 data. - Obesity is classified based on BMI and carries increased risks for conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. - Its causes are multifactorial including genetic, metabolic, behavioral and environmental factors. Leptin plays an important role in regulating appetite and weight. - Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as pharmacotherapy. Approved obesity drugs include orlistat, lorcaserin, phentermine, and liraglutide

appetite regulation

Mohanad Aljashamy

The document discusses the physiological basis for control of appetite and body weight. It describes how hunger, appetite, and satiety are regulated by the hypothalamus in response to signals from the gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue, and hormones like ghrelin, leptin, insulin, and PYY. These signals influence centers in the hypothalamus that control food intake and energy balance on both a short term and long term basis. Dysregulation of these systems can lead to clinical conditions like obesity, eating disorders, and hyperphagia.

Childhood Obesity

pmgboji

The document discusses childhood obesity and the role of parents in preventing and treating it. It provides evidence from several studies that treating parents alone through education and lifestyle changes leads to better weight loss outcomes in children compared to only treating the children. Parents have significant influence over their child's diet, physical activity, and home environment. Therefore, new interventions should focus on empowering parents to create a healthy lifestyle for their families.

Goal setting-How to Set SMART GOALS

Emmanuel Kumah

Appetite regulation

Madhumita Sen

The document discusses appetite regulation and the hormones involved. It begins by defining appetite and hunger, and how they are regulated by the hypothalamus and hormones. It then describes hormones like ghrelin, leptin, PYY, and CCK that are involved in appetite suppression or stimulation. The hypothalamus contains neuronal pathways that sense these hormones and regulate energy intake and expenditure. Neuropeptides in these pathways like NPY, AgRP, and MCH stimulate appetite while others like POMC suppress it. In summary, a complex interplay between the brain, digestive system, and fat tissue controls appetite through hormonal signals.

Goal setting

Knight1040

Goal setting can significantly improve employee performance and satisfaction. The Locke-Latham goal setting model demonstrates that specific, challenging goals lead employees to focus effort and persist towards goals, improving performance when abilities, commitment, feedback, and rewards are also present. Goals direct behavior, provide standards for performance assessment, and justify task performance. High performance is achieved when employees set challenging yet achievable goals and have the skills, commitment, and strategies to work towards rewards from goal attainment.

The Blind Boy...LIFE Lessons

OH TEIK BIN

A blind boy was sitting with a sign asking for help and money in his hat. A man changed the sign to say "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it". This was more effective and the hat began to fill with more money. The man explained he just wrote the truth in a different way. The story teaches that changing your perspective can be more effective and that we should appreciate what we have and help others with less.

Power point obesity

lgandh

This document discusses obesity rates in upstate New York from 2004 to 2008. It finds that obesity among adults in the region increased dramatically during this period. The counties with the highest obesity rates each year tended to be Chautauqua, Chemung, Franklin, Seneca, and Yates counties. Obesity is linked to numerous health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The document recommends eating healthier foods, daily exercise, and potentially surgery as ways to reduce obesity.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation

Tantri Sundari

The document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It defines intrinsic motivation as engaging in an activity for its own sake rather than for external rewards. Extrinsic motivation involves doing something for external rewards like money or praise. The document also discusses factors that influence intrinsic motivation like developing relationships and building confidence. It explores the role of neurobiology in language learning and how the amygdala specifically impacts affect and appraisal of learning situations. Finally, it addresses issues with measuring affective factors through self-reports, including problems with validity and cultural bias.

Types of personality tests

Dr.Shazia Zamir

This document discusses different types of personality tests. It begins by defining personality and personality tests. It describes several specific personality tests including the Big Five Inventory, Emotional Intelligence Test, and Keirsey Temperament Sorter. It then provides more details on the Big Five personality dimensions and discusses the trait and type approaches to personality. The document also discusses Holland's theory of occupational personality types and provides an example of interpreting the Briggs-Myer personality test results. It analyzes objective and projective personality tests, such as the Rorschach inkblot test and Thematic Apperception Test.

Positive Self Motivation

Christophe Pelletier

This document discusses positive self-motivation by changing one's mindset to be more positive, setting goals, and increasing confidence in achieving those goals. It notes how positivity lifts one up and focuses on opportunities and solutions, leading to action, while negativity pulls one down and focuses on limitations and problems, leading to inaction. It outlines assessing one's current lack of motivation, identifying areas for improvement, implementing action plans using the SMART approach, and following up to review progress and make corrections.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night

thomasard1122

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem. There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience. Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year. But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language. Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures. In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
