P A G E 1 9This statement confused analysts at iCure. Over the pastdecades, testing and education have taught people thegood and bad of the food we put in our bodies. Thus, itseems illogical for the consumption of bad calories toincrease. According to a 2016 research published inBMJ Open, more than half of what Americans consumeis 'ultra-processed.' Frozen pizzas, microwaveabledinners, morning cereal, snack cakes, and energy drinksmay all be found in any grocery aisle. Products such asthese use a lot of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners,stabilizers, and other additives that mimic nonprocessedfoods or mask undesirable qualities of thefinal product. Statistics also show that the number ofpeople that go out for their meals is higher in numberthan ever before. This is partially explained by the costdecrease in getting a meal, the overall economicgrowth, and the increase in household income. All ofthese conditions have led the U.S to face anunprecedented problem: “calorie malnutrition.” This is ascenario in which calories are consumed through foodsvery low in nutrition. After further analysis, it is clear thatpeople have begun to prefer quantity over quality,which has led to a sudden increase in the problem ofweight gain. Obesity, often known as corpulence orfatness, is the abnormal buildup of body fat producedby consuming more calories than the body can utilize.Excess calories are stored as fat, or adipose tissue, in thebody. Obesity was first theorized in 1948 by WHO, butwas considered irrelevant to countries until a fewdecades later. The biggest problem with obesity is,once identified, obesity can lead to a lot of othercomplications within the body, including high bloodpressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, andeven death. Evidently, obesity is a very serious problem.According to the CDC, obesity prevalence in the UnitedStates climbed from 30.5 percent to 42.4 percentbetween 1999 and 2018. The prevalence of severeobesity increased from 4.7 percent to 9.2 percent withinthe same time period. This shows that the problem isjust getting worse rather than better. But the questionremains, what is the cure to obesity? A key componentthat scientists and doctors agree on is maintaining agood diet and incorporating physical activity. A gooddiet would consist of making sure the caloriesconsumed come from good sources of nutrition.Consuming less bad fats and opting for more good fatswill be beneficial. Frequently, we look at fat as a badthing. Americans couldn’t be more wrong. Healthymonounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats should beincluded in a well-balanced diet. Avocados, olive oil,nuts, seeds, and fatty seafood are some of the bestsources of these fatty acids. People should also restricttheir saturated fat consumption and avoid even minoramounts of trans fats in their diet. Another thing to lookout for is the consumption of processed foods. Manyfoods from fast-food restaurants and the food found inthe frozen food aisle are heavily processed, and thenutritional value of the foods is stripped down. Eatingmore vegetables and fruits is more beneficial as fruitsand veggies are filled with nutrients that help keep youfull on minor quantities of food. Eating plenty of fiber iskey in maintaining and reducing weight. Usingresources such as My Healthy Plate can help keep trackof your calories. Getting plenty of physical exercise isessential as well. It may be hard to indulge in physicalactivity at the beginning of your journey as your bodyfinds it more difficult to move. But starting with shortwalks and improving every day is a great way to makephysical activity a part of your daily lifestyle. Starvingand fasting are methods that may seem beneficial inthe short run but will not provide any value in the longrun because you did not change anything about yourlifestyle. You will continue to eat the same way and livethe same lifestyle once you see the weight go down,but that can be a trick into gaining the same weight, ifnot more, quickly back again. To maintain a healthylifestyle, it's also necessary to understand that you donot have to stop eating “junk foods'' completely, but itis important to consume such foods in moderation.References:betterthefuture.org/whats-wrong-with-the-americandiet/www.thekitchn.com/professional-chef-freezer-aislefavorites-23043985www.britannica.com/science/obesitywww.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.htmlwww.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322295

In the right conditions, stem cells divideto form more cells called daughter cells, which can eitherbecome new stem cells or specialized cells that go throughdifferentiation to acquire specific functions. For example,daughter cells can become blood cells.Stem cells increase our understanding of diseases and howthey occur. We can view stem cells maturing into cells in bones,heart muscle, nerves, and other organs and tissues.Researchers and doctors may better understand how diseasesand conditions develop. They also generate healthy cells toreplace diseased cells used for regenerative medicine. Stemcells turn into specific cells that regenerate and repair diseasedor damaged tissues in people. People who might benefit fromstem cell therapies include those with spinal cord injuries, type1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(Lou Gehrig’s disease), Alzheimer's disease, heart disease,stroke, burns, cancer, and osteoarthritis.Researchers continue to advance their knowledge of stem cellsand their applications in transplants and regenerative medicine.They can use stem cells to test new drugs for safety andeffectiveness. For the testing of new drugs to be accurate, thecells must be programmed to acquire properties of the typeof cells targeted by the drug. For example, nerve cells can be generated to test a new drug for a nerve disease.Tests would show whether the new drug had any effect on the cells and whether the cells were harmed. Stemcells are still being researched, and they have the potential to be groundbreaking in the medical field.Sources:https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/bone-marrow-transplant/in-depth/stem-cells/art-20048117https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=what-are-stem-cells-160-38https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323343
