Week 3 - Research Sept 19
Due to unforseen events we went back to the computer lab. This time we focused our efforts in searching different topics of interest in respect to the heart. In a few sentences discuss the topic you researched, what you found, where you found it, and a few interesting points that you discovered.
The topic I researched was the heart and diet, and marijuana. I found out that hypertension ios one of the main contributors to heart attack and stroke. I also found out that muraco had five neck and back surgeries and has been growing marijuana since 1999. This information was found online.
I RESEARCHED ABOUT ALCOHOL & HEART, DIABETES & HEART, & WOMAN & HEART DISEASE.
I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEART DISEASES & HOW IT CAN AFFECT U.
I ALSO LEARNED WUT ALCOHOL CAN DO TO YOUR HEART.
I FOUND THIS INFORMATION IN AN ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET.
The topic that I looked up was based on the heart and exercise. I had to look up the information on many pages. I learned that exercise increases strenght and stamina. It also improves the circulation of the heart as well as cholesterol levels.
i researched heart and diet and heart and exercise.i found out a lot of things i didn't know.like if your waist line is over 36 inches you are more likely to get a heart attack than some one with a 30 waist line.
In the computer lab, I found out high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, stress, and obesity are high risk for a heart attack. I also found out if a bad rythm in the heart occurs it may be fixed with a shot.
At first i really couldnt decide what to research. I finally chose to research the difference in heart attacks within population minorities. Most of the information I found was in the Elibrary database. I found out that 16-18 Hispanic/Latinos have a higher percentage of premature deaths from heart disease than do whites. I also learned about some of the many heart disease risk factors such as: high blood pressure, obesity, lack of exercise etc.
The topic that I researched was energy drinks and their effects on the heart. I found the information on the online library and i discovered that energy drinks speed the heart up too much to the point that some people get heart attacks and can possibly die.
In my research i learned about what exercise does to the heart.Some of the things i learned about the heart was that if you exercise it will reduce the risk of a premature death.I also learned the risk of heart disease and it will reduce high blood pressure.
