This includes berries, grapes, and other purple fruits. Some celebrities, such as Mariah Carey, have embarked on this diet. But how effective is it? To check the validity of this claim, first I checked the website that I found the information on. I also looked at the evidence. According to the text, "Websites should identify the medical and scientific evidence that supports the material presented on the site" (Health 3). I came to the conclusion that this was a credible website and I learned that it is important to "eat a rainbow" of foods.]]> 2017-05-12 02:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/2m6ubuam2nnl/wish/171398019 maria_chace https://padlet.com/maria_chace/2m6ubuam2nnl/wish/171398882 Another health related product that I looked into was a manual resuscitator. I looked this up because I wanted to learn more about CPR. Although this product isn't really used for CPR directly, I still found it interesting to learn about. Both CPR and manual resuscitators are meant to keep people breathing. The website that I found this information on was very credible and had plenty of medical and scientific information. If you must preform CPR yourself, it is important to remember CAB - compressions, air-way, breathing - to help remember the order of the steps of CPR (Health 10). ]]> 2017-05-12 02:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/2m6ubuam2nnl/wish/171398882 maria_chace https://padlet.com/maria_chace/2m6ubuam2nnl/wish/171399353 In addition to other health related products, I researched multivitamins. I was curious to learn more about the effectiveness of multivitamins - do we really need to take them? I looked on WebMD to find some answers, so I suppose it is a good idea to cross check the information with some other medical sites. It's always good to make sure the information given seems logical and to look on other credible sources as well. I learned that you should try to get nutrients from your food, but if you fall short, then multivitamins will benefit you. While I'm on the topic of health, I'd like to briefly address some professional health services. Urgent care and emergency care are both types of health services. "The emergency department was designed to provide fast, life-or-limb saving care" (Health 6). Primary care doctors are also an important health care resource. When you experience an emergency, such as a broken bone, that's when it's time to go to the ER.]]> 2017-05-12 02:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/2m6ubuam2nnl/wish/171399353
