Our bodies are in a “can’t live with you, can’t live without you” relationship with the sun. Too much sun can fatally damage our skin, causing skin cancer, hence the “can’t live with you” part. Meanwhile, all organisms need the sun to live. Humans need the sun for oxygen, which is a result of plants going through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that turns carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen, using sunlight. The plants need glucose for energy, while humans need oxygen to breathe. Additionally, natural sunlight helps our bodies create vitamin D and destroy our bodies’ reserves of folic acid. We need a sufficient amount of vitamin D to live but we also need folic acid as well. Vitamin D, needed to ensure and …show more content…
The “silent killer” is high blood pressure, or hypertension, a disease that’s responsible for as much as 25 percent of end stage kidney failure, and has no noticeable symptoms. Too much salt can raise one’s blood pressure. African Americans’ blood pressure is very reactive to salt because their African ancestors weren't fed or given much water, if any, to drink when they were taken to America against their will by slave traders. This resulted in a very high death rate on the ships, so those who had a natural propensity to retain high levels of salt, maintaining enough water to avoid deadly dehydration, had a better chance to survive. This ability, along with a modern salt-filled diet, leads to increased rates of hypertension.
16. Fast metabolizers can detoxify harmful substances more successfully than slow metabolizers. In a very toxic environment, evolution favored these toxin-clearing genes. If one is a CYP2D6 fast metabolizer and was prescribed medicine, such as cough syrup, that had codeine in it, they could become seriously ill because their bodies would’ve converted that codeine into morphine very quickly. This could be prevented with the knowledge of their genes.

Serial killers are probably one of the most horrified subjects ever. I mean could you imagine being killed? By a person who sees you’ve done something so wrong to them and you may not even know their name? Maybe they’re just crazy and you’re their innocent victim, or maybe it’s all a part of revenge.

According to the FBI 11.5% of murderer by relationship to victim is a stranger, but that is not the case for the murder of Max Powers. Since Ray in fact did know Max. In The Disappearance of Max Powers mystery, one rich millionaire Max Powers treated his friends to a private get together, only to be killed hours later. Coincidentally, all four friends: Ray Leetuff, Chloe Goode, Beverly Hillis, and Dez Tenney were all named equal inheritors of Max’s will, making each “friend” a prime suspect in the murder of Max Powers.

One of the first means of profiling a mass murderer is by their type. Mass murders can range anywhere in the organized or unorganized type. Typically, an organized mass murderer carefully plans out much of the crime he is about to commit. A disciple killer is an example of an organized mass murderer. They are usually followers of a charismatic leader, who influences them into killing any victim he directs them to. One disciple killer case would be that of Leslie Van Houton, a 16 year old girl who was persuaded by Charles Manson to murder for him. Another type of organized mass murderer would be known as the pseudo commando. This type of mass murderer stockpiles exotic weapons in their home and often wears battle fatigues. Pseudo commandos

The sun contributes to different health conditions, in its own way. Nonmelanoma and melanoma are both a result of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Even though basking in the sun on a beach may seem fun and enjoyable, the excessive exposure to the sun can change the texture and look of the skin, resulting in skin damage. Cataracts, which are also caused by increased UV exposure, can cause an individual to lose their sight, if not treated. Increased heat can also cause dehydration. The immune system can be greatly affected by excessive sun exposure, affecting the body’s ability to fight infections.

African-American women have a higher rate of hypertension (high blood pressure) than white women and Hispanic women. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 34.2% of the Black, non-Hispanic female population between 1998 and 1994 had hypertension 22.0% of Hispanic women and 19.3% of White; non-Hispanic women had hypertension during this time.” (NWHIC, 2015) A few of the reasons African-American women have a higher rate of hypertension is because of genetic and environmental factors, also dietary factors such as their bad eating habits and huge salt

Overexposure to the sun could cause severe permanent damage to the skin, including premature aging and the worst of all skin cancer. The sun releases UV rays (ultraviolet radiation) which damages DNA and disables protective tumor suppressor genes in the epidermal cells, causing the skin cells to rapidly multiply forming tumors.

Every hour at least one American will die of skin cancer caused by exposure to the sun. These statistics are alarming and most people are unaware that the sunshine that we all love so much is in fact a threat to our health and good looks. It is up to us to educate ourselves and our children on the harmful effects of sun exposure on the human body like premature aging, physical damage to the body, and cancerous diseases.
Getting some sun is essential to human health despite the risks of the skin cancer. There is much more benefits that come with the exposure to the sun than harm. Vitamin D that our body produces when we are exposed to the sun is very efficient in curing so many diseases. It protects from arthritis, diabetes, infectious diseases, multiple sclerosis and some kinds of cancer, just to name a few.
