Bulimia-Psych notes
Bulimia-Psych notes Historically an eating disorder primarily found in girls, bulimia, or bingeing and purging, now affects record numbers of boys as well. Families can be torn apart and teens can loose years of enjoyment and opportunities if they get drawn into the binge and purge cycle. It is called a cycle because often teens overeat in response to some emotional trigger, then binge to rid themselves of the food, then convince themselves that it was the last time. They hate themselves for having been weak and unable to stop, which weakens their self-esteem and confidence. The next time something is too big to handle, they give in to another binge, followed by another purge, and the cycle repeats itself. They are unable to stop the cycle because they do not have the coping skills to effectively deal with the cause(s). The Causes of Eating Disorders Many things can trigger a teen's experimentation with bingeing and purging, such as: . An emphasis within the family or immediate sphere of influence (coaches, grandparents, older siblings) on diet and the "perfect body." If a teen regularly hears someone they admire and consider to be a role model talking about needing to loose weight, start an exercise program, or diet, they tend to look at themselves as needing to do the same. 2. The media barrage that emphasizes the "perfect body." Men's, women's, and teen magazines

Food Technology How Does A Microwave Work? Microwaves work by using food molecules to vibrate rapidly, creating friction that produces heat which then cooks the food. In other words, food cooked in a microwave simply absorbs microwave and turns their energy into thermal energy, which cooks the food. It takes 18 times the electricity to bake a potato in a regular oven than in a microwave. Microwaves cook from the outside towards the center of the food. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using A Microwave Advantages . Heats things more quickly than conventional oven 2. Heats things from the inside out 3. Don't have to warm it up before using it 4. Takes up less space than an oven 5. Doesn't throw off heat while you're cooking (useful in hot weather) 6. Safer for kids to use 7. Food keeps more nutrients when cooked in a microwave (less heat exposure), so its healthier for you. 8. Easier to clean 9. Costs less to operate . Doesn't cook evenly 2. Can't make things crispy 3. Can't use metal or foam containers 4. Can make things explode during heating. 5. If food has uneven density, it will heat up unevenly 6. Fat, sugar, and salt attract microwaves creating hot spots and uneven heating. 7. Foods higher in water (vegetables) cook faster than those lower in water (meat) so entire meals can't be cooked at the same time. 8. Center of microwave cooks more slowly than
Young people today are obsessed with image not reality
Young people today are obsessed with image not reality Young people today are obsessed with image not reality. This statement can be argued either way. It depends upon the person's own opinion. They may have a conservative or a relative opinion. In my opinion teenagers at this present day and age care more about their appearance than what is going on around them. Young people in the modern countries care about their reputation more and they feel that they should not go to school to study but people in India are worried about the school fees as they do not have enough money to send their children to school. Children who want to go to school cannot go because of money problems and they do not care about their reputation but children in the modern countries who have to go to school and have the chance to go to school do not want to go and bunk of school. The 3rd world countries strive for food whereas the modern countries strive not to get their food. It is difficult for the 3rd world countries to get food and they need food to keep them healthy which means they care about their figure as well as keeping alive but people especially the young people in the modern countries have food but they decide not to eat it because they care about their figure. Some people go on a diet or eat less food or throw their food away whereas the people in the 3rd world countries are striving for
The Decline of the 'High Street'
The Decline of the 'High Street' In this essay I will be providing background information on Emile Durkheim life and the foundations on which his work and views are based. I will also be illustrating Durkheim's reaction to Shopped by Joanna Blythman. I will be discussing the ideas developed in Emile Durkheim's work of what he would say about the content of this text. I will be quoting from the book as a means to strengthening my views from what I have read, where necessary I will use exact quotes to maintain consistency of information. "Emile Durkheim was born on April 15, 1858 in Epinal, a small town in rural France. He grew up in a traditional Jewish family which lived on a modest income."1 "Many of Durkheim's views on society cannot be completely understood without providing some historical background on his thinking about the relationship between the individual and society."2 "Durkheim's theoretical interests were rooted in the political climate that existed in France between 1870 and 1895."3 This period brought about with it many changes in the social climate and the intellectual approach by common people became Durkheim's basis of work. In building up of an opinion many factors may influence the decisions or directions of an individual. Durkheim's grasped understanding of society came from four main areas of interest. "First was Auguste Comte's perspective on

Kim's diet
Kim's diet On most days, her breakfast is very nutritious and healthy. She had two weetabix, which is high in fibre, low in fat and low in sugar. It will give her a balanced breakfast with a boost of energy to wake her up and should keep her going until lunchtime. High fibre foods will make her feel full for longer, so after a high fibre breakfast like weetabix, she is less likely to feel the need to snack in-between meals. Weetabix is good for Kim and it's low in fat and has only 3% fat content. Two biscuits = 129kcal. She then normally has a coffee. Caffeine is a stimulant, which picks you up when your feeling tired. It will get her energy going, but it has no nutritional value. High amounts of caffeine can cause rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, and inability to sleep, and should be consumed in moderation. She should now realise that drinking coffee can cause damage to her health if this is drank too often. She should be aiming to drink two litres of water each day.

Why Was the 1984 To 1990 Levi Strauss Advertising Campaign So Successful?
Levis 501 Gcse coursework Why was the 1984 to 1990 Levi Strauss advertising campaign so successful? In the early 1980's sales of Levi 501 jeans had slumped in the U.K so the management took action with a series of adverts aimed at the younger generation. As a result sales increased by 20 times in the U.K. The adverts worked on levis reputation of being the classic blue jean and used American values of big cars, Ray Ban sunglasses and American toughness to sell their jeans the also made the jeans look ahead of their time by setting most of their adverts in the 1950's and 60's to give a nostalgic feel that is one of the examples of intertextuality which is used in the ads. Levi jeans used famous rebels in their ads like James Dean and Marlon Brando to make young people think that if they wore their jeans they will be like James Dean and Marlon Brando and be able to pull any women they want. In (Russia) the customs officer uncovers a magazine with a picture of James Dean on the front and instantly regards the man with the Levis as a rebel. Levi jeans use sunglasses (Ray Bans) in 3 of the adverts we studied and all of the Levi men were free independent individuals who wore white boxer shorts. People thought that white boxer shorts give you the same sex appeal as the Levi men so the ads also boosted sales of white boxer shorts alongside their jeans. Successful music from the
The Cook-Chill Process - Research
THE COOK-CHILL PROCESS - RESEARCH Cook-chill foods are food which have been half cooked and then chilled very quickly to be sold in the shops. Consumption of cook-chill foods from the manufactures should be within 5 days maximum. * Storage temp: To avoid danger zone (5'c-63'c) store at 3.4'c cooked at 70'c or above. * Advantages: Excellent flavour (similar to home made) Excellent colour ) Excellent texture ) from cooking - chilled for 90 minutes Retains nutrients ) There are 2 types of chilling: Blast: The plates are very cold so the temperature goes down in 90 minutes. Or Spiral ADDITIVES Reasons for using additives: The uses of additives in food is controlled by the government department including The Food Advisory Committee (FAC) The Ministry of Agricuture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and The Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in food, consumer products and the environment (COT). There are many specific regulations controlling additives used, including for example, the preservatives in food regulation (1974), the sweetners in food regulation (1984), the general principles which decide whether or not an additive can be permitted. Approximately 6000 food additives (mainly flavourings) are used by the food manufacturing industry in the UK, amounting to about 200,000 tonnes of additives per year. More than three
Kosher Coursework A)
a) Give a detailed account of the Jewish food laws and their origins. The laws of the kosher diet are designed to fit the religious beliefs of the Jewish religion. 'Kashrut dietary laws' come from the Hebrew root Kaf-Shin-Resh, meaning fit, proper or correct. It is from the same root as the more commonly known word 'Kosher' which describes foods that meet the standards of Kashrut. In the concise English Dictionary kosher is defined as 'Conforming to dietary laws, ritually poor'. 'Selling or serving food prepared in accordance with dietary laws'. 'Correct, Genuine'. The opposite of Kosher is terefah (forbidden), which includes food that Jews following the kosher food law are not allowed to eat. In the Torah, Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 give many food laws, which are still strictly observed today. "Everything among the animals that has a split hoof which is completely separated into double hooves, and that brings up its cud-that one you may eat" "But this is what you shall not eat from among those that bring up their cud and have split hooves- the camel, for it brings up its cud but its hoof is not split- it is unclean to you" The food laws used in today's society- i.e. the meat that is eaten in modern society are as follows; "And the pig, for its hoof is split and its hoof is not completely separated, but it does not chew cud- it is unclean to you" "This you may
The pathway of food molecules through the alimentary canal and the process of their digestion
The pathway of food molecules through the alimentary canal and the process of their digestion The function of the digestive system is to break down large molecules in food, such as protein and starch, into monomers that can easily be absorbed into the body and with a balanced diet it does its job efficiently. The alimentary canal is a long coiled tube that runs through the body from the mouth to the anus. It consists of associated glands, the salivary glands, the liver and the pancreas. This muscular tube is organised into several distinct regions. The overall process of nutrition can be divided into several stages. Ingestion is taking in food. Humans put food into the mouth where it is chewed. Swallowing takes it down through the oesophagus and into the stomach. Mechanical breakdown is how food is broken down into smaller pieces by chewing in the mouth and the churning action of the stomach. Digestion is the complex breakdown of foods such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins into simpler molecules. Absorption is where simple food molecules pass into the blood stream in forms such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, sugars and water. Egestion is where undigested food is excreted from the body. The ingestion and mechanical breakdown of food starts in the mouth. Your lips and tongue mix up the food with saliva and teeth break up the food into smaller
