14、 up and lifestyle that are considered by health scientists to predispose the person to some degree of risk of specific health damage.Primary heart disease risk factors include a family history of heart disease,obesity,physical inactivity,diabetes,and hyperglycemia.,Hypothalamus,It is a part of the b
15、rain which is known to regulate many basic body functions such as temperature and hunger.,Hyperphagia,It is an abnormal desire for food,that is sometimes a result from and injury to the hypothalamus of the brain.,Grassroots In Wellness,Air is what we breathe.It is made up almost entirely of nitrogen
16、,oxygen,argon,carbon,dioxide,some water vapor,and tiny amounts of inert gases such as krypton,neon,and helium.The part essential for life is oxygen,which makes up about 21 percent of the air.The nitrogen component is basically 78 percent and argon is less than 1 percent.The remaining gases are found
17、 in very small quantities,measured as parts per million.,Grassroots In Wellness,Water vapor can exist in varying amounts(0 to 5 percent)in any given location,depending on the air temperature and other factors.Without getting too technical,it is enough to say that as the air temperature rises,its abi
18、lity to hold water vapor increases.Nonstandard components can include particulates chemical vapors,methane,sulfur dioxide,oxides of nitrogen,ammonia,and carbon monoxide,among others.Levels of these compounds can vary from place to place,and are collectively called air pollution.,Grassroots In Wellne
19、ss,Air pollution is basically contamination of the air caused by the discharge of harmful substances.It can cause immediate health problems,such as burning eyes and nose,and itchy irritated throat,and or breathing difficulties.Over long periods,exposure to some of the chemicals and particulates foun
20、d in polluted air can cause the cancer,birth defects,brain and nerve damage,and injury to the lungs and breathing passages.Dust and particulates from smoke-stacks,and especially from diesel exhaust,are suspected of increasing the number of deaths from heart attacks by affecting the hearts ability to
21、 maintain its rhythm.The very young and the very old suffer the most from the effects of air pollution,but the duration of the exposure and the concentration of the chemical pollutants are important.Certain contaminants can,at high levels,cause severe injury or even death in short order.,Grassroots
22、In Wellness,Air pollution also causes damage to the environment and to the infrastructure.Trees,lakes,crops,and animals both wild and domestic are affected,as are buildings,bridges,monuments,and other man-made structures.Air pollution almost certainly has thinned the protective ozone layer above the
23、 Earth,allowing dangerous radiation from the suns rays to cause cancers,birth defects,and other injuries to human throughout the world.,Grassroots In Wellness,Smog is a type of large-scale air pollution caused by chemical reactions in the air between different pollutants from vehicle exhaust and ind
24、ustrial sources.Smog can have a different specific cause depending on location,wind,and weather,but the effect is essentially the same.Smog becomes a real problem when a phenomenon known as temperature inversion occurs.That is,the air near the ground is cooler than the air above,which holds down the
25、 pollution so it cant disperse.Cities surrounded by mountains are particularly prone to this phenomenon,such as Los Angeles.If the inversion happens in the winter,it traps mostly particulates and carbon monoxide.If it happens in the summer,expect smog.,Grassroots In Wellness,Indoor air pollution is
26、almost as big a problem as outdoor air pollution.In the United States,most people now spend between 80 and 90 percent of their time indoors.It sounds unbelievable until you actually do the math.We live in sealed buildings,our kids go to school in sealed buildings,and we commute in air-conditioned ca
27、rs to work in sealed offices.It is no wonder that indoor pollution has such an effect on our health,and that the effect may be even more serious in northern climates,where the weather keeps people indoors in the winter.Defective air-handling equipment,faulty air conditioning and building design,poor
28、 maintenance of air conditioning and heating systems,plus gas emissions from carpeting,paints,paneling,computers,copying machines,plastic furniture;it all contribute to an ever-growing problem.,Grassroots In Wellness,There are thousands of potential air pollutants.Some of the major ones are as follo
29、ws:Carbon Monoxide(CO)is colorless,odorless,and poisonous.After it is inhaled,the carbon monoxide molecules enter the bloodstream via the lungs.They bind with the red blood cells,preventing them from picking up oxygen,because the cells throughout the body are then starved of oxygen,serious problems
30、result.Low concentrations cause dizziness,headaches,and fatigue.The exposure to high concentrations is usually fatal.Carbon monoxide is created for the most part by automobile engines as a product of incomplete combustion,although even a wood-burning stove emits plenty of the gas.,Grassroots In Well
31、ness,Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is normally found in the atmosphere.As we use oxygen,we generate carbon dioxide,which is exhaled with each breath;luckily for us,plants that use photosynthesis need this carbon dioxide to live,and so,they take it in,use it,and excrete oxygen.This has been
32、 a good relationship.At present,the concentration in the air is around 360 parts per million(ppm).This varies with location and season,and it is a bit higher in the summer.This so-called“natural”concentration has been trending upward for the last 11,000 years,since the end of the last ice age.About
33、the time the ice sheets began to retreat,the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air was around 200 ppm.,Grassroots In Wellness,The oceans hold most of the carbon dioxide on the planet and at least fifty times more than is in the air and ten times more than in all the plant and soil sources.Circu
34、lation patterns,or megacurrents,transport,the carbon dioxide up and down in the oceans and most of the carbon dioxide is held in deep cold waters,and there is a constant interchange of carbon dioxide between the ocean and the atmosphere.As the oceans have warmed up,they are giving up there carbon di
35、oxide to the air.By the late 1700s the atmospheric carbon dioxide level was up to 280 parts per million,by 1960 it was up to 315 parts per million,and today it is approximately 360 parts per million.Over the past fifty years,atmospheric carbon dioxide has been increasing by about 1 part per million
36、per year,which is an indicator not only of the natural processes taking place but also the rapidly increasing burning of fossil fuels.This is very important,because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas,the more of it there is in the atmosphere the warmer the climate will become.,Grassroots in Wellness
37、,Abdominal Breathing-it is a form of breathing often used in relaxation exercises that uses the muscles of the abdomen,or belly.,Vital Capacity,It is the amount of air which can be forcefully exhaled after the fullest possible inhalation.,Hyperventilation,It is the extremely rapid or deep breathing
38、that over oxygenates the blood,and causes dizziness,and sometimes fainting.,As we age the sense of thirst becomes dulled,and at the same time,we have a lower percentage of reverse body water than we had when we where younger.This is why it is important to drink water even when you do not feel thirst
39、y.Moreover,headaches,anxiety attacks,food intolerance,heartburn,muscle pain,colitis pain,hot flashes,and many other discomforts can be easy quickly by drinking a full glass of water.(Water flushes out toxins).,The human body is two thirds water,and water is an essential nutrient that is involved in
40、every function of the body.Water helps to transport nutrients and waste products in and out of the cells digestive,absorptive,circulatory functions,as well as for the utilization of the water-soluble vitamins.Water is also needed for the maintainance of proper body temperature.Moreover,by drinking t
41、en 8 onces glasses of water,you can ensure that the body has all it needs to maintain good health.The bodys water supply is responsible for and involved in nearly every bodily process human beings can not survive without water.,Hydration,It is the absorption of water plus other liquids which allows
42、for sufficient perspiration to meet the needs of exercise while maintaining appropriate liquid levels and blood volume.,Shock,It is a collection of symptoms that result from an inadequate volume of fluid circulation through the body to maintain normal metabolism.Shock is marked by:hypotension=low bl
43、ood pressure.Pale,cold skinWeak or rapid pulse AnxietyCardiogenic Shock=results from a greatly diminished cardiac output,such as may occur in a massive heart attack.,The body is a complex organism that has the ability to heal itself,but only if one provides it with proper nourishment and care.If we
44、do not give ourselves the proper nutrients,we can impair the bodys normal functions and cause ourselves great harm.One problem most of us have is that we do not get the nutrients we need from our diets,because most of the foods we consumed are cooked and/or processed.Moreover,cooking foods at high t
45、emperatures and conventional food processing destroy vital nutrients that the body needs to function properly.,Fiber,It is the nondigestible portion of the complex carbohydrates which provides bulk in the gastrointestinal tract.,Soluble Fiber,It is a substance that includes pectin and gum and is fou
