Jessica: “Good morning Mr.Brown, How are you doing today?
Mr Brown: I’d be a lot better if I can get out of here and get back to my couch, so I can watch the game today.
Jessica: Well Mr. Brown, that’s our goal today. To get you feeling much better.
Jessica: Mr. Brown I am now going to tell you your results as well as explain them so you can better understand what you’re up against. And that way, we can all come together and figure out the best plan of action to get your cholesterol under control.
Mr Brown: Okay. As long as I don’t have to get up off of my couch and miss my sports. I’ll think about it.
Jessica: Well Mr. Brown I’ll let you be the judge. Here are your results.
Jessica: Your Triglycerides results are slightly elevated, but not necessarily high. The readings are suppose to be lower than 150 mg/dL, and you fall slightly under that with 145 mg/dL (Schwartz, Aug. 16, 2013, para 3). That’s why I said your results are slightly elevated because it has the potential to be high at any given moment.
Mr. Brown: What the heck is “Tri-what”?
Jessica: (laughs lightly) “Triglycerides”.
Mr. Brown: Yeah. What the heck is that?
Jessica: Well Mr. Brown, simply put, Triglycerides is the major form of fat stored by the body. Not only can we get it from the foods we eat but our body produces it too (Tortora/Derrickson, n.d., para 4). Did you know that when your Triglyceride levels get too high in your blood, they can cause plaque buildup in the arteries (Szalay, March 24, 2016,
Good evening Mr. Brown your test results came in and we found out that your Triglycerides are 145 mg/dL, Cholesterol 210 mg/dL, HDL 33 mg/dL, and LDL 160 mg/dL. Normal triglycerides means there are less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) which you do have which is great. A desirable level of cholesterol would be Below 200 mg/dL, and borderline high would be 200-239 mg/dL so because your cholesterol level is 210 mg/dL you are at borderline high. Ideal LDL level for people at very high risk of heart disease would be below 70 and a high level would be 160-189 mg/dL your LDL level is 160 mg/dL therefore it’s high. The best HDL
The Great Depression, pulled the American economy to its all-time low. The government mitigated the depression with several methods. When the stock market collapsed, people started losing their jobs and then their homes to the banks. People were desperately searching for jobs even if it’s terrible, until the government formed the CCC. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was formed to provide hope and dignity to young American citizens and their future generations.
Martina, your overall cholesterol measurement of 172 mg/dL is below the recommend upper limit of 200 [1]. Additionally, your HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol measurement of fifty-six mg/dL is also within the normal limits, which are defined as a reading greater than 40 but less than or equal to 60 mg/dL [1]. Your LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol reading is extremely close to being below the recommended limit of 100 mg/dL: your reading was 101 mg/dL [1]. The recommended levels are the values at which your risk for several diseases is minimized. Your triglyceride reading of 78 mg/dL was well within the normal limit of less than 150 mg/dL, but your glucose reading was indicative of prediabetes.
Cholesterol can lead up to coronary heart disease. This is where deposits of lipids cause plaque build-up restricting the blood flow to the heart which

High cholesterol is a dangerous disease that can lead to many life-threatening ailments, and can be lowered by eating healthy, while maintaining a balanced diet of leveled cholesterol.

One of the main claims of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition is that human beings exist in relation to a Triune God. In the Catholic Tradition, Triune God is also called the Trinity which means one God and three holy persons; the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. They all are distinct but all equal God. There are many texts in the Catholic Tradition that shows that humans exist in relation to a Triune God, two of those texts are The Book of Genesis which is in the Bible, and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
“If you want to.” his reply was hinted with a pessimistic taste. I couldn’t help but feel like we were done for the year after this loss. It resembled the last 3 straight years of going 8-8 and not going to the playoffs. Despite this I still had hope we could make the best
A molecule of dietary fat typically consists of several fatty acids (containing long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms), bonded to a glycerol. They are typically found as triglycerides (three fatty acids attached to one glycerol backbone). Fats may be classified as saturated or unsaturateddepending on the detailed structure of the fatty acids involved. Saturated fats have all of the carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains bonded to hydrogen atoms, whereas unsaturated fats have some of these carbon atoms double-bonded, so their molecules have relatively fewer hydrogen atoms than a saturated fatty acid of the same length. Unsaturated fats may be further classified as monounsaturated (one double-bond) or polyunsaturated (many double-bonds). Furthermore, depending on the location of the double-bond in the fatty acid chain, unsaturated fatty acids are classified as omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids. Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer bonds; these are rare in nature and in foods from natural sources; they are typically created

Marijuana, the plant that has caused many debates, the plant that has cost many their entire lives, the one plant that could most possibly be the most debatable thing in the United States. This plant has many names such as Pot, Weed, Stinkweed, Herb, Skunk, and many more. But no matter the name this plant is still one of the controversial things that plague the United States today. With many people being imprisoned for it everyday and the amount of money the government has spent to keep this so called bad drug on our streets. Today many Americans say that this drug should be legal, and yet many also say it should be illegal, but should this drug be illegal to the citizens of the US. This simple questions is very easy to answer saying how the government has reacted to many other substances and drugs that are perfectly legal and some even have an age limit. The answer to the debate that has sparked some of the most controversy is yes Marijuana should be legal, this would have more pros than cons if dealt with right by enforcing the correct laws and rules.
