Several chronic diseases can occur in relationship to unhealthy eating. Cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes are a few. Eating foods high in fat can lead to coronary artery disease which can lead to heart blockage which can lead to death. High fat foods as well as over eating can lead to obesity, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes which can lead to death. Though most complications and/or diseases will manifest themselves in adulthood, looking back most will find the risk factors began in early childhood with poor food choices. As stated by Green Facts (n.d.), “The risks of developing chronic diseases begin in fetal life and continue into old age. Thus, adult chronic diseases reflect the combined effects of prior exposure to damaging environments.” As you can see, it is a vicious cycle we must be cognizant of throughout every stage of life.…
Life style patterns and behaviors affect our health along with economic and social structure. According to our text (Williams / Torrens 2010, alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use create a snow ball of problems that affect our health. Excessive alcohol use creates cirrhosis of the liver, if alcohol is consumed while driving or prior to driving it causes vehicular accidents and work related injuries if consumed prior to or during work. Last week I spoke with a 20 year old male who stated his anger escalates after he consumes alcohol. He also stated his father was killed at a night club by someone that consumed excessive alcohol. These actions affect our society because they can create an increase in violent crimes and an increase in homicide and violence incidence. Cigarette use is another behavior that is associated with numerous illness, including cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and oral cancer. Government intervention has reduced consumption and reduced illnesses associated with the use of tobacco and piper smoking.…
For citizens in America, the day to day lifestyle plays a strong role in personal health. The daily affairs of Americans are in most part set to a specific schedule. There is a set time for which a person must show up for work or for a student to attend class. This lifestyle causes people to adjust according to their convenience, in one way by selecting fast and convenient food choices. Not much family time is spent on the preparation and consumption of meals, and Americans overall lack basic cooking skills and nutritional knowledge (King, and Hayes 28). This factor, along with the lack of physical activity, explains why most Americans develop cardiovascular disease. Americans are provided with access to different means to acquire a healthy lifestyle that many citizens of other developing countries do not have (Mechanic, and Rochefort 249). Although many services are provided in the U.S for healthcare many people neglect the opportunities and…

High school students are suffering from sleep deprivation due to early school start times. In order to function properly, teenagers require about 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep each night, yet 68% of students sleep less than eight hours on a school night (Bratis), which over a week results in a lack of necessary sleep. Sleep deficiency is detrimental to health; chronic sleep loss in teenagers has been connected to obesity and weakened immune systems (Brown). After puberty, high school students are likely to gain weight and have altered…
America is slowly becoming a nation of a population of obese sick people. What we are eating everyday affects our health.

One reason some people have problems with obesity is they live very convenient lives. “Does the family have clearly stated rules and are punishments logical consequences for rules that are broken (Kelly D. Brownell & John P. Foreyt)?” Many people don’t have to exercise and do not eat healthily at all. Most people take the easy way by taking elevators instead of climbing the stairs, or if they are hungry they go to a fast food restaurant instead of preparing a low fat meal at home. For example, in my family if nobody wants to cook, we usually go out and pick up something to eat, usually high calorie fast food. People today can also become so busy they don’t even attempt to exercise or eat health foods. The reason I know this is because I am busy almost every day. With school work, my job, and family duties I find little time for exercise or food preparation. Eating healthily and staying fit is a lifestyle that everyone needs to switch over to so they can have more energy and also live longer.…
