Cardiovascular Disease And Cancer: Why We Are Dying

On an average, large amount of fast foods consumed on a daily basis, leads to the deterioration of an individuals’ bodily health over time. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and healthy foods, will increase the life expectancy of most individuals.

When I was growing up I was taught how to hunt, fish and trap animals for food as well as being fed an omnivorous diet, but today I have found that I no longer need animals in my diet. The Vegetarian Times recently found that out of the 311 million people in the US, 7.3 million eat a vegetarian based diet and 22.8 million eat a vegetarian inclined diet. Over the past century people have begun looking into the health implications of plant based diets as a way of improving their health and increase their longevity. This research paper is intended

Consumption of fruits and vegetables at or over the recommended five servings per day is associated with a decreased risk of heart attack and stroke. Greater consumption of fruits is also associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

For last 50 years many researchers throughout the world have shown that the foods we eat have a profound impact on our health and longevity. A healthy diet

Anything containing oil has been an increasing problem to the environment and to people. The toxicants that the oil produce harms people with their health. In the film Fuel, the director Josh Tickell talks about how crops can produce fuel, which produces cleaner air and is safer for the public. There are also other ways that Biofuel could be produced, such as adding human waste onto algae. The way that society utilizes oil is hurting the world, which in fact is affecting the human population and environment, but people only realize it until it is too late. With biofuel people would not be in danger and it could be produced without struggling to find oil.

Curcumin has been proven to help recover from neurodegenerative diseases, even aiding in their prevention, and inhibiting inflammatory molecules in the brain (Petraglia, et al., 2011, p.4). Foods high in curcumin include Indian curries, yellow rice flavored with turmeric, and mustard (Curinga 1). Caffeine, although showing mixed results in some studies, shows reductions in neurological deficits (Petraglia, et al., 2011, p.8). One of the best high caffeine options is green tea at a recommended three cups per day (Maroon, et al., 2011, p.6). As seen in some research on green tea, the result of its high consumption in Asian countries leads to the “Asian paradox,” or the significant prevention of neurological problems in Asia (ibid). Vitamin E in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and cereals has been tested to show improved cognitive performance, improved spatial memory, and less neuropathology (Petraglia, et al., 2011, p.9). Vitamin E intake is improved in conjunction with Vitamin C (ibid). Foods high in Vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomato juice, and potatoes (“Office of Dietary Supplements – Vitamin C,” 2016, p.2). Finally, Omega 3 has been consistently shown to help in recovery from PCS and inflammation (Maroon, 2011, p.1). They are the most effective natural anti-inflammatory food and has been tested to be neurotherapeutic for PCS (Maroon et al., 2010,

Research shows that in countries where people eat a pound or more of fruit and vegetables a day , the rate of cancer is half what it is in the United States. Pollan argues that vegetarians are less susceptible to most of the western diseases, and as a consequence live longer than the rest of us(164). Apparently, we can’t live without plants, but we don’t need to eat meat in order to obtain the nutrients we need for growth because they can be found elsewhere (Pollan 165). Since plants are less energy dense than other foods, by eating a plant-based diet one will likely consume fewer calories which is itself protective against many chronic disease (Pollan 165).I agree with Pollan that a plant-based diet can help reduce the risk of obesity, Diabetes, and Heart Disease.

Repercussions of burning oil have arisen more progressively. The debatable topic of global warming holds burning fossil fuels responsible for higher temperatures in colder climates. An article by World Book explains why oil is so harmful towards the environment. As more cars are produced more pollutants are released into the atmosphere, those pollutants cause smog in larger manufacturing oriented cities as well as, acid rain. Factories, burning oil, dispose of the remaining chemicals into bodies of water rendering them unsafe to drink for both humans and animals alike (Hunt par. 1). Another article produced through World Book describes the

In his book Walter willet describes several ways that are both eat healthy and are also delicious with one of their kind, it has been emphasized that the USDA food pyramid is unhealthy due to the lack of ingredients that are not delicious and are merely consumed by people. Therefore, he stated that new scientific evidences have been able to state that omega-3 fatty acids that could be found in many nuts and most of the oils are the main constituents for leading a healthy lifestyle. The lycopene, that could be consumed through tomatoes is able to help fight against cancer. Furthermore it has also been stated that, in order to lessen the effect of weakness and to manage a healthy lifestyle, there is a sufficient need for taking daily multivitamins.

The appendix is a small bag on the colon with an unknown purpose. The inner lining of the appendix creates a amount of mucus that travels through the open central core of the appendix and into the cecum.the wall of the appendix also contains lymphatic tissue, a part of the body’s immune system that helps protect it from bacteria and foreign entities. It can become inflamed, fill with pus, infected and can rupture causing an abscess or systemic infection (sepsis).

This paper indicates a mechanism to target disease sites in diseases such as atherosclerosis and cancer, which are sources of TNFa. If a cell is engineered to seek TNFa sources like those in cancer and atherosclerosis, they could be utilized as a targeted therapy. In order to accomplish this a system of engineered proteins was utilized TNFa chimeric receptor (namedTNFR1chi), a previously engineered Ca2+-activated RhoA (named CaRQ), vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein G (VSVG), and thymidine kinase (Qudrat at al., 2017).. When bound by TNFa, TNFR1chi generates a Ca^2+ signal that activates CaRQ-mediated-non-apoptotic blebs that allow migration towards the TNFa source. The VSVG causes membrane fission of the engineered cell and TNFa

Polyphenols are mainly found in the plant-derived foods (Weichselbaum & Buttriss, 2010). It has various properties such as cardioprotection that could diminish the risks of cardiovascular disease (Zhang & Tsao, 2016). This phenomenon is current in the field of nursing research and relevant to the nursing practice. Nurses and APNs could use the information from this review in educating their patients. This paper reviews the existing studies regarding the effects of polyphenol consumption on CVD risk reduction in adults who are 19 years and older. The nursing interventions – both pharmacological and non-pharmacological – are the ways in managing CVD. This review emphasizes the polyphenol intake as a non-pharmacological intervention that might

The Lyon Mediterranean Diet Heart Study presented a reduction of cardiovascular events by 72%.This all attributed to a whole food plant based diet with low refined carbs and animal foods. It not only reversed heart disease but it provided defenses against diabetes and cancer. Having these breakthroughs in nutrition

Having a healthy dietary method can reduce the chances of receiving many health diseases. These health diseases include obesity, heart disease, and cancer. By consuming certain foods and nutrients in one’s diet the risk factors for these health diseases can be reduced. A healthy dietary method that is beneficial to reducing and/or improving these health diseases is the vegetarian diet. The vegetarian diet follows a dietary pattern that is characterized by the consumption of plant-like foods and the avoidance of flesh foods (meat, poultry, and fish). The foods in this diet provide the body with many essential nutrients. This is why many health benefits have been associated with the vegetarian

Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are the three leading causes of death in the African-American population. Cancer and heart disease rank as the top two for Hispanic or Latino populations. Intermediate risk factors for all three causes include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Although the pharmaceutical industry bombards mass media with copacetic images of average people managing their disease through prescription drugs, all of the stated risk factors are preventable, and sometimes reversible, through the incorporation of a plant-based diet.
