Teen Smoking
.... face if caught
selling to minors, they will stop selling.
True, tightening down on stores that sell tobacco to minors isnąt going
to completely stop the problem of teen tobacco use. Teens continue to get them
from other sources. But it definitely does hamper their efforts. With more
education in schools, and perhaps stronger punishments for teens caught with
tobacco, more and more teens will see the problems with the tobacco usage, and
will stop the habit.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease/ Crohn's Disease
.... is no
way to predict when a remission may occur or when symptoms will return.
The most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, often in
the lower right area, and diarrhea. There also may be rectal bleeding, weight
loss, and fever. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia (low
red blood cell count). Children may suffer delayed development and stunted
growth.
What Causes Crohn's Disease and Who Gets It?
There are many theories about what causes Crohn's disease, but none has
been proven. One theory is that some agent, perhaps a virus, affects the body's
immune system to trigger an inflammatory .....

Cigarettes And Their Destruction Of The Brain
.... acting upon it. The brain is reshaped: the smoker feels normal with
nicotine in his system, and abnormal without it. A series of tests were
conducted on nonsmokers, "active" smokers, and "deprived" smokers. The "active"
smokers were given a cigarette before each test, while the "deprived" smokers
were not allowed cigarettes before tests.
The tests started simply, and then moved towards more complex problems.
In the first test, subjects sat in front of a computer screen and pressed the
space bar when a target letter, among 96, was recognized: smokers, deprived
smokers, and nonsmokers, performed equally well. The next test .....

Cognitive Dissonance
.... is more likely persuasion will
occur. Because if no tension was felt between the two parties, or there were no
conflicting opinions there would be no need to persuade each other. If you think
about it persuasion occurs only because there is tension between two facts,
ideas or people.
Charles Larson writes in his book, Persuasion, Reception and
Responsibility, “another approach to the consistency theory is congruency theory,
by Charles Osgood and Percy Tennenbaum (1955)” (p.82). This theory suggest that
we want to have balance in our lives and there is a systematic way to
numerically figure it out. When two attitudes collide we m .....

Cystic Fibrosis
.... each pregnancy to have an affected child. If you have a son or daughter
with cystic fibrosis, then you have a 1:1 chance of being a carrier. If you have
a brother or sister with CF, you have a 2:3 chance of being a carrier. If you
have a niece or nephew with CF, you have a 1:2 chance of being a carrier. If
you have an aunt or uncle with CF, you have a 1:3 chance of being a carrier and
a 1:4 chance if you have a 1st cousin with CF.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs in particular. The secretions are
thick and sticky rather than thin and watery. This interferes with the removal
of dust and germs. It can lead to lung infecti .....

Death
.... your sexual partners past sexual history
should you consider sex. If you must have sex then have safe sex. Safe sex
includes using any instrument or object which does not allow bodily fluids to be
exchanged. Preventing AIDS is something we all can do. No one is forced to have
sex (unless raped), no one is forced to do drugs with infected needles and no
one wants it, so people should get smart and wake up! AIDS, say it, think it
over in your head, AIDS will kill people, and AIDS will kill you.
Death and AIDS go hand in hand. However we all must be optimistic for
the future of everyone. As well as being optimistic one must be und .....

Ericsson Paper: Motor Learning
.... performance is due to
one's genes, regardless of training programs. (McArdle,1994). But sports like
golf are probably influenced very little by genetics because skill acquisition
far overshadows physical ability. History provides many examples of athletes
who apparently has a poor genetic endowment, yet by hard training and motivation
went on to international success (Shepard,1987). In conclusion, expert
performance is most likely due to a complex interaction of psychological,
physiological, and biomechanical factors (Powers, 1994); factors whose
importance is dependent on the nature of the task at hand.

Depression
.... lack of self-confidence or feeling like a failure; lost your
appetite, or are eating more than usual; have had trouble sleeping, or been
sleeping too much; had trouble concentrating and making decisions; and thought
about death and/or suicide.
Knowing the causes for depression can help depressed people, friends,
family understand how painful it is and why it's not possible to "snap out of
it". It's still not completely clear why depression happens to some of us and
not to others, but their are some triggers: stressful events or a loss, physical
illness, hormone levels, and use of certain medications, drugs, or alcohol.
Most of u .....

Depression
.... Trofranil,
and Norpramin. These medicines have certain chemicals that will replace the
certain chemicals that your brain is missing. The most widely used and known
medicine is Prozac. It costs $1.60 per capsule , but it is the most effective
medicine.
I suggest that if you are one of the people that think they are
suffering or are suffering from depression but don't seek help should go see
somebody, a doctor counselor, or even a family member, because it could become
worse and may lead to other problems. Don't become another statistic.

Destroying Your Health By Smoking Cigarettes
.... our friends (we will
call them that to be funny) and look at it. It is about five to six inches in
length, maybe a half inch wide with little brown things that look somewhat like
coffee grounds inside a thin white paper cylinder. Smell it, a significant
number of people actually enjoy the way tobacco products smell, but they will
not smoke them. I myself find that ominously odd.
Now smoking the cigarette is very important. If you do not smoke it you
will not reach your goal to destroy your health. So let us begin with the
lighting of the cigarette. Place the cigarette in your mouth, just the tip of
it. Do not bother with lo .....

Diabetes

from blood vessels in eyes rupturing, less blood going to the limbs could make
them have to cut them off. They have high blood pressure which increases heart
attacks and strokes in diabetes too. Type II
This type is found in mostly in people over 40 it progresses slowly
unlike type I. The insulin in the pancreas is produced in good levels but does
not work right. It does not let the glucose in to the tissues just like in type
I. The people in type II are usually over weight. Treatment
The treatment for both types is insulin injections and changes in their
diet. They must spread out every .....

Dietary Guidelines For North Americans And Suggestions For Food Choices
.... people used in these particular ads are slim and beautiful and it can
therefor be very misinterpreting to someone who is overweight. The pressure of
being fit can lead to very damaging disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.
These two very serious conditions affect a very large amount of women and men in
North America these days and can be quite lethal if not cured. So it is
important to be careful not to do any physical or psychological harm to one self
when trying to lose weight.
When embarking into any kind of diet it is extremely important that one gets the
sufficient amount of nutrients from their food and/or supplements .....
