Chapter 15 is about heredity and disease, talking about chromosomes, dna, karyotype etc. The chapter then moves on to talk about hereditary diseases, ones you are born with and the diseases that are genetic. Alot of the chapter was about the hereditary diseases that you are born with, and some major ways to prevent them. The end of the chapter had alot to do with stem cells and genes.
Chapter 20 i liked alot more, it was all about exploring alternative medicines, which i take alot of real consideration in becuase i am against alot of the medicines that are out there today the ones that are not herbal. The chapter moved from herbal medicines to acupuncture, to aromatherapy, and massage. Basically all other forms of medicine all cramed in on chapter.
In my discussion group there was alot of talk about alternative medicines, and i learned alot about what other people think about them , and some other forms of healing that i never knew about, also was able to learn alot of information from links that people posted.
All in all in this course i do feel that i learned alot of very useful information about health and well-being, and will be able to take that anywhere with me in the future, and i am really not unsure about anything. My grades throughout the course were a little above average , and and happy with my outcome in the course, the only place were i do say i would need some help would be the discussion post i seem to never have alot of time to fully write what i wanted, there area lot of other factors to why this is. The thing that help me achieve success in this course was hard work and dedication.

It started by breaking down what cancer is, explaining tumors and the different types of tumors, then moved on to the causes of cancers, this is the part of the chapter i found most interesting. Then the rest of the chapter dealt with all the different kinds of cancer, there are alot, and what each cancer is made of and how it effects your body. Then the very end of the chapter dealt with cancer treatments chemo and radiation.
In chapter 14 i learned all about cardiovascular disease and everything that goes along with that. Including all about the heart, blood flow and regulating blood flow. The whole chapter dealt with the different diseases of the heart basically with some ways to prevent here and there.
The online material was also very helpful its always good to know different ways to prevent cancer and disease. I didnt learn much from the discussions because of the technical difficulties, and did not get to fully participate.
My participation once again was a little under par and not totally on schedule and defently not the best i could do, but i tried to manage my work and time a little better even know my schedule is to busy for my liking between work and school, but once again i managed to get all my work done in the time allowed.
Two words i did not know before are
1. aneurysm
2. diastole

Learning Journal Entry # 5
In this module everything went by pretty fast but i still managed to learn alot of things that i didi not know before going through this module and chapters 7 and 16. In chapter seven of this module i learned about health and well-being but specifically how to condition your body by choosing healthy activities to take part in, like all the different forms of exercising, creating a proper fitness index, and a good plan for fitness. Chapter seven dealt alot with different exercisies and proper ways to stretch.
In chapter sixteen it dealt with nothing but how to use drugs responsibly and healty. This chapter was very short but crammed in alot about what a drug is all the different drug law, and how drugs work. It then moved onto the harmful effects of drugs to the overmedicating, and misuse of drugs and how it becomes a addiction, or you can say a physical dependence. For the end of the chapter pur book broke down all the different kinds of illegal drugs and there effects.
In the discussion forums there was alot of talk about drugs and drug abuse, it was the main topic of discussion, but it was nice to see everyones different aspects on things and were they stand on certain situations, and everyone in my discussion group brought different ideas to the tabel and i learned alot. Espically the one post i replied to about the effects of caffeine and if you are addicted or not, well i am and i could relate to what that person had to say.
The online lecture was also very helpful , it was nice to learn the 10 health mistakes that even smart people make, and the seven effective weight loss tips, some real good tips to do well.
This module went by very fas, and once again did not have alot of time to actually get all the bulk of the work done early, but i still managed to get everything done, and i feel that all my work was proper and well done. Once again though i will always try and do better with every module to come.
Two words i did not know prior to reading chapter 7 and 16 are :
1. direct-to-consumer advertising ( dtca)
2. body compusition

Learning Journal # 3
In this learning module/ Chapters 3 and 4, I have learned about managing stress and everything that goes along with that, and the emotional wellness of a person and how important that is. When it comes to stress it is very important to learn what it really is and find good ways to deal with is because stress can kill, and stress can lead to alot of other illness and disease, and that has been proven true. I did learn alot from the readings in this module, but feel that i have learned everything that i know now from the class discussion, reading all the very usufull info and key points did it for me and taught me alot, i also visited alot of good links that the students in my discussion team posted my favorite one was it deals with college stress and as a student i feel that is a important issue and all students should learn about college stress can it can really do some damage to your body and grades. The online lesson gave some good tips to deal with stress and get you to a good emotional wellness.
In this module I was once again very crunched on time,and i dont feel i put in the time and effort needed to do the best i could, between full time school and full time work, some of my school work suffers. I have been trying very hard to imrove this but have not been so successful yet. I do take all of the instructers comments to mind, and for the next module i am going to try extra hard to get everything done in proper time, and have all work in well before the due dates, so i dont have to rush and can hand in the best work possible.
The definition of stress, i know the word but untill this module i didnt know the true meaning which is a mental tension, stress is a real or interpreted threat to our mind or body that makes us take action. Another word i didnt know untill this lesson was stress factors, and the true defintion of overload.
Here is a active link that deals with stress and how to cope with it i found it to have alot of usefull information.

In chapters one and two i learned alot about health and wellness. In chapter one i learned all the different models of health and disease and how everything is achieved. It showed me all the different health models and what they have to do with everything that has to do with health and wellness. In chapter two it got a little more into depth about different parts of the body and what they have to do. Chapter two had alot to deal with religion in health and faith having a strong belief that religion has alot to do with healing which it really does. In this modeul i was very busy and did not have a lot of time to work on everything to get it done in a timely fasion but will try much harder next modeul.
