Which nutrition patterns are common in the United States? Check all that apply.
Anika [276]

Answer:

  • Most Americans consume more than the recommended daily amount of sugar.
  • Americans eat about 20 percent of their meals in a car
  • Poor nutrition contributes to the rising cost of medical care in the United States.

Explanation:

According to the American Heart Association, in a day, 6 teaspoons of sugar for men and 9 teaspoons for women is the recommended quantity and this is a view supported by the World Health Organisation. Americans on average however, consume 17 teaspoons of sugar per day.

It is also estimated that 20% of meals eaten by Americans are eaten in the car. This has been put down to the fact that Americans are simply busy people who are always on the go and so have to be more efficient with time with one of the ways to do this being multitasking. This is why some people even shave in their cars on their way to work.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, as of 2019, 20% of Medical costs spent on heart diseases and diabetes, are the result of an unhealthy diet. This is about $50 billion nationally. It is estimated that this figure will continue to rise unless Americans start consuming healthier foods such as nuts and seeds and seafood rich in Omega-3 fats.

How does the role of a medical specialist today compare to the
Elza [17]

Answer:

To simplify greatly, we have gone from care to cure.

Cure: Doctors can now cure many things that they could not cure before. New cures and treatments continue to be discovered and used; specialists get more and more specialized and expert. Lewis Thomas (born 1913) wrote somewhere that when he was in medical school they were big on diagnosis because there were four things they could cure and they didn’t want to miss any of them.

Care: Of course many many doctors care a lot about their patients. But the system we have in place now makes it much harder for them to show this. Partly, this is a direct result of the increased expertise - it is completely impossible for anyone to be expert in all fields of medicine. But it’s also due to the fact that internists/GPs are now incredibly pressed for time. They also fear lawsuits. And the notion that you have one doctor - usually for many years or even decades - is gone because you have to go to one that takes your insurance and that changes when you change jobs. House calls are impossible because of both the increase in equipment and the time pressure.
