Treating Eating Disorders - Anorexia and Bulimia Treatment - 1 views

  •  
    Lots of treatment options are available for the ones who are suffering from these disorders. One is psychotherapy by talking to a psychologist, about 50% of these patients are suffering from depression. Another kind of treatment is a cognitive behavioral therapy where you set goals and helps change unhealthy thought patterns. Nutritional counseling is also a treatment by eating healthier to maintain your body healthy. However, some patients need a medically supervised diet to get back to a healthy weight.
  •  
    Eating disorders are very common in today's society, but there are patients who have faced eating disorders and overcome them. With the treatment of therapy, counseling, and a supervised diet, many people who suffer from eating disorders can learn how to defeat them and avoid the possibility of facing the disorder again.
  •  
    The scary part of eating disorders is how deadly they can be. The more a person starves themselves, the more muscles are eaten up; including the heart. I think it would interesting to see how eating disorders manifest in different cultures or minority groups. I know that eating disorders for women can be different from that of men and the method of treating that is also interesting.

Lesbian and Gay Rights 101 - 1 views

  •  
    This website looks at gay rights to adopt. Because adoption is such a large topic, I think this is unique since it looks at gay and lesbian rights. The site outlines the issue and discusses each side.
  •  
    Not all states give homosexual couples the same adoption rights as heterosexual couples. There is no statistical data or research to show why gay parents would be any different than straight parents.

    Part 2: Search engine used: http://www.metacrawler.com/ URL: http://civilliberty.about.com/od/gendersexuality/ig/Lesbian-and-Gay-Rights-101/Gay-Adoption-Rights.htm Original: 1. "A child is better off with one father and one mother." Even if this claim were true (and there's no evidence that it is), it would be irrelevant. States allow adoption by individuals, and not just by married couples, precisely because they recognize that any healthy, stable family environment is a better option than the foster care system. Paraphrase: "A child is better off with one mom and one dad." There is no evidence that this statement is true, however providing evidence would not make it any more relevant. States not only allow married couples to adopt, but single parents too. This has something to do with recognizing that any environment that is healthy and stable is a more realistic option than foster care.

Artificial sweeteners: sugar-free, but at what cost? - 0 views

  •  
    Are artificial sweeteners truly better for you or are they actually worse then just drinking sugar. Many believe using artificial sweeteners to sweeten drinks and food can be a great way to help reduce calories and maintain a healthy lifestyle. While others believe it is far worse for you then just having sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

A Closer Look at Puppy Mills - 0 views

  •  
    Dogs are constantly bred in harsh conditions to keep the puppy industry strong. They are not bred in healthy conditions and are marked up for a massive profit.
  •  
    I have a very strong love for animals & its awful what they have to go through. That's why I always tell people to "adopt & not shop" because people who shop are contributing to these harsh conditions that animals endure.

      How can a child succeed in a school setting when they don't know how to ask for help when they really need it? Their trauma sets them up for failure because they have to be so self reliant at home
  • One of the challenges in giving that support is that when kids misbehave, our schools often use disciplinary systems that involve withdrawing attention and support, rather than addressing their problems
    • smurphy6600
       
      this re-enforces their idea of being alone doesn't it?
  • They need coaching and practice at de-escalating when they feel overwhelmed
  • they develop the belief that they’re bad, and what’s happened to them is their fault
  • “hostile attribution bias” — the idea that everyone is out to get them
  • They see negative where we see neutral
  • One of the classic symptoms of trauma is hyper-vigilance
  • This can look like hyperactivity
  • hronic trauma affects children’s memory, their ability to pay attention, plan, think things through, and other executive functions. Kids who have ADHD as well as trauma may be especially impaired in these skills.
  • Kids who have experienced chronic neglect tend to be better at getting attention by provoking the adults they depend on than by complying with expectations.

Aspartame Use Surges in Children's Drinks - 1 views

  •  
    A heavily debated topic is in regard to the use of sugar substitutes such as aspartame and sucralose. Common brands are Splenda, NutraSweet, and etc. Research has shown that these "healthy, weight loss" sugar-free substitutes are unsafe and are causing more harm then good. This article specifically talks about how children's drinks are being targeted, and currently contain more of these sweeteners, such as aspartame, and increased by 200% during the study period. This is not only affecting children, as there has been a 54% increase of artificial sweeteners in adult foods and beverages as well.

Animal Rights - 2 views

  •  
    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?
  • ...2 more comments...

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.
  •  
    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.
  •  
    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.
  •  
    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.
