From its restoration in the middle 50s and it has continued to serve and benefit the Chinese people, as well as the rest of the world today.

From the Paper
"Another stress-reducing, relaxing method is massage which manipulates the soft tissues in restoring normal health. It "stimulates blood circulation, relaxes tense muscles and aids the movement of lymph fluids which carry toxins out of tissues. This technique does not only relax the body and mind but also induces the release of endorphins, which are bodily produced pain-killers in and from the brain, for overall well-being (Allina). Meditation is a popular practice of calm concentration that gradually eliminates the effects of external stimuli and produces a stress-free state and inner harmony. Alcoholics can benefit from this technique by daily practising it and regaining self-control, proper perspective and sobriety (Allina)."

From the Paper
"Eating healthy is one of the most important, yet frequently overlooked aspects in life. Research indicates that four of the leading causes of death in the United States are linked to diet, namely cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Taken cumulatively, diet-related health conditions cost society about $250 billion annually in lost productivity and medical costs. In addition, studies have indicated that thirty to forty percent of deaths due to cancer may be prevented if individuals would choose a healthful diet and engage in physical activity. Despite these facts, many individuals either refuse or are unable to engage in proper eating habits as outlined in the food pyramid distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture."

Abstract
This paper discusses factory farming, which is a relatively new way of producing food at a lower cost. The paper explains that the aims of factory farming is to produce as much meat in as little time as possible and as cheaply as possible. The paper then discusses the reasons that factory farming is having a profoundly negative effect on our environment and the health of the general population.
From the Paper
"Factory farming is an inhumane and environmentally reckless way to produce food. For years factory farming has been steadily evolving into larger and more concentrated operations. These operations pollute the areas around them making those areas uninhabitable to people while driving smaller family farms out of business. Lately there has also been new evidence linking the constant low doses of antibiotics the animals receive to new strains of multi-antibacterial resistant strains of bacteria and avian flu. As a result of factory farming Americans have cheaper more abundant access to food but at a very high cost, costs that have yet to be fully realized."

There are many diets available today, however, two of the most popular and most effective diets are the Atkins Diet and Weight Watchers. Research shows which one of these two diets produces a long-lasting solution to the obesity problem. The amount of weight loss and the use of exercise in the process is addressed. Hopefully, by examining the causes of obesity and some of the popular suggestions by the experts in the area, a conclusion can be reached that will help people determine which diet is right for them.

A look at how eating healthily can reduce illness.

Abstract
This paper looks at how, although some people believe that consuming food and beverage in moderation is healthy enough, many chronic illnesses can be reduced by choosing a properly balanced diet plan. The paper then discusses the illnesses that can occur from unhealthy eating and documented foods that have been associated with the reduction of these illnesses.
From the Paper
"The recommended food groups that can lower chances of contracting chronic illnesses are: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products. Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2005) stated, " The strength of the evidence for the association between increased intake of fruits and vegetables and reduced risk of chronic diseases is variable and depends on the specific disease, but an array of evidence points to beneficial health effects. Compared with the many people who consume a dietary pattern with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and cancers in certain sites (oral cavity and pharynx, larynx, lung, esophagus, stomach, and colon-rectum).

Abstract
This study relates that its aim is to explore patterns, if any, in the eating behavior of areas around the world. The paper presents the survey and the results that there are statistically significant differences between regions/economic groups with respect to caloric intake. The paper maintains that since obesity and malnourishment are becoming such important issues in today's society, more consideration needs to be taken in order to form interventions.
Outline:
Introduction
Objective
Rationale
Theoretical
Methodology
Results
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Numerous studies performed have demonstrated several reasons that depict the growing food epidemic. Eating behavior has been correlated to the effects of daily hassles. Research has found that an increase in daily hassles was associated with an enhancement in consumption of foods high in fat and sugar along with a decrease in regular meals and vegetables (O'Connor, Jones, Conner, McMillian, & Ferguson, 2008). Abundance in caloric intake was also found in consumers when given the option of tasting full-, reduced-, or no-fat foods. Women were found to adhere to the norm of society by choosing the no-fat foods, signifying that the placement of nutrition labels on foods curbs the eating behavior of people of certain races, gender, and living place (Bushman, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper deals with scientific work that has been carried out over recent years to identify a small group of chemicals and hormones that regulate the processes of the body and the brain. The author provides comprehensive information regarding various hormones that are produced in the body, their importance and how they can affect an individual's diet.
Outline:
Introduction
Cortisol
Estrogen and Progesterone
Testosterone
DHEA
Stress and the Diet
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Conclusion
From the Paper
" Within the last fifteen years or do, research scientists have identified a small group of chemicals and hormones that regulate the processes of the body and the brain, such as insulin (diabetes), adrenaline, noradrenaline and glucagon, "a hormone that stimulates the conversion of glucogen into glucose in the liver and often is linked with hypoglycemia (Parry, 2005, p. 256). And within the last ten years, these same scientists have discovered that the chemical/hormonal story is considerably more complex, due to finding hundreds of newly-identified compounds that regulate a person's mood, his/her susceptibility to particular diseases, and especially what a person eats, i.e. that these chemicals are secreted and made active by certain types of food based on diet and intake.
"At least seventy neurotransmitters (chemicals that modify or result in the transmission of nerve impulses between brain synapses), have also been identified which regulate nerve function, including memory, mental function, mood, movement, the wake-sleep cycle and appetite. The disruption of even one neurotransmitter significantly alters nerve cell function and causes a reaction which affects all other neurotransmitters, profoundly affecting many natural processes in the brain and the body."
