One clear step you can take to improve your health is to minimize your consumption of processed foods. They’re linked to all sorts of health problems, including heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

 

Studies suggest that cutting back on packaged foods that are high in vegetable oils, refined grains and additives may help reduce the risk of diabetes. This may be partly due to the protective effects of whole foods like nuts, vegetables, fruits and other plant foods.

 

One study found that poor-quality diets that were high in processed foods increased the risk of diabetes by 30%. However, including nutritious whole foods helped reduce this risk.

 

Consuming a good fiber source at each meal can help prevent spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, which may help reduce your risk of developing diabetes.

A STUDY OF CAUSES OF STRESS AND STRESS MANAGEMENT AMONG YOUTH

Full article available on PDF − July 2018

    Stress is a condition of mental pressure for particular individuals facing problems from environmental
and social well-being which leads to many diseases. Young age is the critical period because at this
time young people face many changes in their lives. They are expected to be the elites in society.
Thus, they should enhance their stress management abilities so as to live a healthy life after entering
[5] society. When a children enter into the youth age, they need not only to adapt themselves to the new
life and the new environment but also to be familiar with many new people, events, and things. Life
stress on them is considerable. Therefore, understanding the sources of stress among them and the
ways they can cope with it is very important. The researcher found that the stress mainly comes from
academic tests, interpersonal relations, relationship problems, life changes, and career exploration.
[10] Such stress may usually cause psychological, physical, and behavioral problems. This study finds the
causes of stress among youth. So after identifying causes, the researcher suggests that more emphasis
can be given to the development stage of a child into adolescence. Children should be brought up in
a positive environment. More emphasis should be given to outdoor activities and to the creation of a
hospitable learning environment by minimizing the negative impact of stressors. The findings in this
study will help individual students, scholars, lecturers, career and counseling centers.

Although texts 1 and 2 are very different, they are both about the same theme.

 

The theme below is common to both texts:

TEXTO:

What’s your body’s age?

    Have you ever thought that your grandma might
be more fit than you are? Some studies show that
an active 55-year-old is more fit than a sedentary
35-year-old. “Having youth on your side doesn’t
[5] matter,” says exercise physiologist Richard Cotton.
“Training and exercise can help overcome any age
decrement.” Once we hit age 25, we lose a half
pound of muscle every year (within 20 years, that’s
ten pounds of lost muscle!). And chances are, you’re
[10] gaining fat along the way. So even if your weight is
the same as it was back in high school, you may not
be nearly as fit — unless you exercise. But there’s an
upside: It’s never too late to get in shape.
    If you’re curious to see how you measure up to
[15] your cronies (or your grandma), grab a stopwatch
and take Rockport’s fitness walking test. To order, call
(800) ROCKPORT.
