Here we find the strength of this branch through research processes to find out the main cause of the disease to find appropriate solutions to it:
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, "The Sister Study is a cohort of 50 884 US women who had a sister with breast cancer but were free of breast cancer themselves at enrollment. Study participants completed examinations which included measurements of height and weight, and provided blood samples. Blood DNA methylation data generated with the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip array covering 27,589 CpG sites was available for 871 women from a prior study of breast cancer and DNA methylation. To identify differentially methylated CpG sites associated with BMI, we analyzed this methylation data using robust linear regression with adjustment for age and case status. For those CpGs passing the false discovery rate significance level, we examined the association in a replication set comprised of a non-overlapping group of 187 women from the Sister Study who had DNA methylation data generated using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array. Analysis of this expanded 450 K array identified additional
Lifestyle and environmental factors have been closely analyzed for any links that may increase breast cancer risk. During research, it has been found that newer lab tests that are more sensitive, can detect cancer cells that maybe have broken away from the tumor in order to help predict the recurrence of the
Women attaining lower incomes are more likely to experience the worst outcomes when they are diagnosed with breast cancer. Hence, studies have demonstrated that African American women are 40% to 70% risk of being diagnosed with stage 4

Main Argument and Thesis The main point of the article is that diets can often be dependent upon geographic surroundings. Diets can provide essential nutrients and minerals in various ways. Supporting Evidence The authors, Patricia Gadsby and Leon Steele, support their main point through using nutritional evidence, referencing scientific studies, and providing dialogue from multiple individuals.
Breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer death
Nutritionalism is a topic that is widely researched around the globe, but even more so in America. The topic of healthy food is not only being researched but also heavily debated upon: whether one kind of food is any healthier than another. The debate surrounds an idea that food is the reason for many health disabilities. Because of the debate about food people have been formulating their own ideas and theories about the nutrition of food. Two articles about the nutrition argument are Escape from the Western Diet by Michael Pollan and Food as Thought: Resisting the Moralization of Eating by Mary Maxfield.
His delivered with such a persuasion that caused me to understand, in a deeper sense, the devastation and deaths that caused by not having a healthy food diet. Jamie delivered his presentation with power and conviction as he acknowledges that he was not an American citizen; but he loved this nation and like the audience, he had children that should know the facts about food choices and how it affects longevity. He had statistic that identified the ranking of diseases that cause health problems and death due to unhealthy eating. Also, he displayed individuals who were obsessed and showed the type food they ate and also were feeding their family. Jamie persuaded and shared his vision by giving real time example of processes that can be used to obtain funds for education students in the school system; he stated that an additional $6000 is all that is required to support school programs to teach students healthy eating habits.
There is no doubt in my mind that to define and measure health in today’s society is a challenge. Over the past number of centuries, or even decades, the idea of what health is has developed, and still to this day, varies across the many socio-economic levels within a country, varying on an even broader spectrum globally. In 2013 the World Health Organisation defined health as “A state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. This aspect of wellness regarding ones mental health is a relatively new concept to be introduced, further showing that how we perceive health is an ever changing continuum, as opposed to an unvarying definition. In contrast to health, Baldwin, J et al.
Professionalism whether in the workplace or an academic setting can easily be deemed comparable. Both settings necessitate the adherence to a set of values. These values may be established through a formally agreed upon code of conduct as exemplified in a work or student handbook or through the informal expectations of colleagues, clients, professors, or peers. The fundamental standards of professionalism include having respect for yourself, your colleagues, the material you are learning and your professors. There are many characteristics that contribute to being professional.
Moreover, learning about the need to integrate population health management to a more holistic approach to the delivery of health care services. So, I would have to make a serious evaluation of all the factors that involve population health management and how it directly affects the overall health care
By quoting food experts, each notion of food appears credible, logical and well researched, whilst proceeding in a consistent
The risk for breast cancer increases for women who have started menstruation at an early age, start menopause at a late age, use postmenopausal hormone therapy, do not have kids, or have kids at a later age. Environmental factors related to breast cancer include sedentary lifestyle, alcohol use, body weight, diet, work, and much more. Research has been done to obtain information on the different rates of breast cancer due to environmental factors throughout the world. “For example, breast cancer rates in Asia and Africa are much lower than are those in North America. Yet, when Asians immigrate to the Unites States, within a couple of generations, the breast cancer rate among their descendants approaches the American rate.1” Although there many environmental factors that relate to breast cancer, it is hard to point out which ones are directly related and how much they affect developing breast cancer.
I combined how your nutrition is important because it can prevent you from getting sick or becoming overweight and suffering. Lack of nutrition education, marketing persuading consumers to want harmful food, and the healthcare system not being effective all have to deal with why healthy nutrition is not being focused on or accomplished. This topic is important and interesting if you are interested in global healthcare or local healthcare. Each one of the problems can be solved or reduced to focus on the human nutrition or to decrease the rate of deaths due to obesity, heart failures, etc. The research and the 7-step plan, promoting healthier food options, and reduction of pills and helping patients learn about nutrition are all ways to improve the lack of
Nutrition Topic: Nutrition Organization: Topically Specific Purpose: To inform my audience the importance of proper nutrition I. INTRODUCTION A. Attention getter: Did you know that more than two thirds of adults are considered to be overweight or obese in the United States? If obesity rates stay consistent, about 51% of the population by the year 2030 will be obese.
According to Northoff (2007), nutrition is critical for a healthy and active life, but many people around the world still have no access to sufficient and nutritious food because of poverty and lack of nutrition education. Moreover, Riddle (2005) stresses that nutrition education is a key for developing the skills and motivation needed to eat well, and is especially important in situations where families have limited resources. The benefits of nutrition education and counselling can directly influence nutritional status, consequently, helping in attaining the millennium development goal (MDG) to reduce the prevalence of hunger and malnutrition (Garcia, 2008). In a recent preliminary study conducted by ENDESA in 2007, the way in which the mother’s educational level influenced malnutrition was observed. Statistics reveal that 15.4 percent of children of mothers with no education suffered from chronic malnutrition, while 9.4 percent and 4.7 percent in children of mothers with secondary or higher education levels respectively (Acevedo & Menendez, 2006).
