Instructions 1. Calculate your weight based on the BMI formula and the Hamwi method (page 7): Analyze where you are on the BMI and Hamwi scale in terms of health- provide documentation and references to support your position. 2.

You can later use this exercise with patients so you need to learn it now. 5. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses in your weekly intake of nutrients and drugs.: Is there any interactive effect with the diet and the drugs? 6. Analyze how you felt, where you were, what you were doing, why you ingested what you did and when you ingested the food, liquids or drugs. 7. Are there other medical conditions you presently experience that contribute to your diet, nutrient or drug intake? 8. Is there a cultural influence to your diet choices that may negatively affect your health? If yes what are they and what can you do to change that? 9. Develop a diet plan for yourself that best suits your actual dietary needs based on height, weight, BMI, culture, activity level, health and drug use. 10. Explain how you plan to implement the change and what obstacles you will have to overcome to meet his goal. 11. Describe how this exercise helped you learn more about why, what, how, where and when people eat and how this influences what they ingest. 12. The report itself should be 5-8 pages in length in APA format, typed (word processed) double spaced.

. Introduction including your thesis statement. (about a paragraph or so) Opinions on Policy options for North Korea are not in short demand these days. Since Kim Jong-un came to power, North Korea has dominated the news headlines with saber rattling, threats of war and provocative acts toward South Korea for the past three years. The U.S policy so far has been rhetorical public statements denouncing North Koreas actions, the deactivation of 2nd ID and upon the most recent actions announced, and the recent announcement the U.S is reviewing war plan for defending South Korea amid North Korean buildup. This paper will explain why he Korean conflict has reached a high watermark and the young grandson of the “Kim dynasty” spanning three generations will see the great grandson take the reins someday. No one wants a war on the Korean peninsula especially China, this would only guarantee the U.S would find their way into their backyard. 2.

Goal The goal of Get Write is to provide you space to draft your ideas and sections of your mock research proposal. Posting early in the week can provide time for your instructor and student colleagues to provide feedback that you can use to refine your work before you submit it for an assignment grade. Get Write Directions Post your initial draft by the end of the day on Sunday and provide feedback to at least one student colleague by the end of the academic week (Tuesday by 11:59 PM). Your initial post must include APA formatted citations in the body of the post and full references at the bottom of the post to acknowledge the your source(s) of information so you can practice APA formatting. Refer to the Get Write rubric in the course Syllabus for more specific information about requirements and grading standards. Get Write Topic This week you will identify a health issue or trend that is of concern to you that will become the basis of your mock research proposal. Remember to choose something that you are passionate about to make the mock proposal easier to do and more fun and meaningful for you. For example, are you concerned about the growing problem of childhood obesity? Does a family member or do you have a health problem that you want to research? Are you concerned about health management issues, such as the infection rate in hospitals or safety of alternative supplements available in health stores? Do you worry about the rising rate of type 2 diabetes in seniors? Your concerns are probably important to others and likely already have information related to the problem or trend. This week you will lay the foundation for your mock research proposal. In your initial post: •Identify a current health issue or trend that is of concern to you. •Identify and summarize at least one reference from a credible source(s) that helps illustrate a problem. The reference could contain data or a discussion of the issue and its potential consequences if it is not addressed. If you are focusing on a health disorder, information from a credible reference defining the disorder would be a great item to use in your post. •Summarize information in your own words rather than quoting information. Remember when you summarize information you must include citations in the body of the text to acknowledge the source of the information and a full reference at the bottom of your post. NOTE: You might find you want to focus on a health trend or issue that is also of interest to another student. Feel free to collaborate with others to brainstorm ideas and find potential references. Researchers do not work alone and you do not need to do so either, except of course you must write your assignments independently.
