In chapter 13 i learned all about cancer, what cancer is how you can get and prevent it, and what cancer is made up of, and how to treat it. 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
