Week 8

1. Under my kitchen sink I found dish soap, dish washer detergent, whips, all purpose cleaner, stove cleaner, trash bags and spunges. The all purpose cleaner is an environment friendly cleaner. It is made from plant and minerals. Through looking at the products under my sink I am going to try to buy more environmental friendly items.


2.  The Mediterranean article was an article comparing a low fat intake diet versus the Mediterranean diet looking at cardiovascular risk. Studies showed that a low fat intake does lower cholesterol levels but it does not lower the incidence of heart attacks and coronary heart disease deaths. The mediterranean diet showed to be a more whole diet including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pasta, fish and eating less meat. This diet showed to have better results in preventing cardiovascular disease. I think that this is a given. With a low-fat diet many times people are not eating the nutrients that their body needs. The mediterranean diet shows to be an all around healthy diet. The mediterranean diet also has a low intake of meat. Some studies have shown that eating high intakes of meat can be linked with cancer. So I found this interesting.
