Getting Daily Exercise
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 444

.... If we get an excessive amount of exercise, then again, the same result. What I have been told over the years, was to get at least twenty minutes of exercise, three times a week. This article states that you should get at least thirty minutes of moderately intense exercise everyday of the week. I feel this is quite a bit for some people and should not be stated as the “minimum” amount you should receive. I agree with having an exercise routine throughout your life, beginning when you are young (although it is never too late to start). I do not agree, however, with .....


Abortion Should Not Be Legalized
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 790

.... that 250,000 women die every year because of legal and illegal abortions: 75,000 of them die of self-inflicted abortions; 75,000 die of convulsions; and the other 100,000 die of blood poisoning caused by an infection of the uterus.

Legalizing Physician Assisted Suicide
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 881

.... the final days of life. The dying individual regains dignity and respect in this difficult right to die issue. There are several terms related to euthanasia that must be understood. In this country the most widely used right to die policy comes in the form of refusing medical treatment. This term is known as passive euthanasia. This is the allowing of the disconnection of life support equipment or stopping of life-sustaining medical procedures. There have been numerous notable legal battles in the execution of this policy. Such as in 1975, a young woman named Karen Ann .....

Two articles came from journals of medicine called The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the American Journal of Nursing (AJN). The last five sources we found on the Intern .....


Iron Absorption From The Whole Diet: Comparison Of The Effect Of Two Different Distributions Of Daily Calcium Intake
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1435

.... iron bioavailability on menstruating, pre- menopausal, and post-menopausal women(Rossander-Hulten et al and Gleerup et al). One of the fears of an increased amount of calcium intake is the increased possibility of anemia in women who are already susceptible to this condition. The iron inhibition by calcium is a classical example of how the correction of one nutritional problem can be the cause of another. The physiological mechanism of this calcium-iron relationship remains a mystery, however there are two feasible theories. One states that calcium competes for an iron bind .....
