Few months ago, I went to the doctor’s office for my regular checkup. The doctor told me that I gained 5lbs of weight and I got depressed when I heard this news. I told my doctor that since I am an Asian, the food we eat contains greater amount of saturated fat like oil, butter, meat which makes me gain a lot of weight. After hearing my story, the doctor thought for second.
Suddenly, the words that came out of her mouth were that ‘start drinking green tea along with your diet low in saturated fat’ I was staring at her face because I was blank. I have not heard about this before. The first question that came into my mind was that “could this really be helpful? And could this really have an effect in my health?”
On my way back to home,

Then, I had all of my participants to go on a weight scale and I noted that all of them have a weight above 180 lbs which was my specified requirement. Since the requirement was fulfilled, I was ready to test my hypothesis.
To test the hypothesis that lipton green tea make you lose weight, the duration of my experiment was 6 weeks and I was required to check their weight every 2 weeks. The group of one hundred people were divided into two groups. Each group required to have same number of participants so group A had 50 participants and classified as Control group. Whereas, Group B had 50 participants and classified as experimental group. The control group which was given the diet low in saturated in fat without the green tea. On the other hand, the experimental group was given the same diet low in saturated fat but with the added green tea. The meals for both of the groups contained the same ingredients. The amount of the meal given was also the same.
Throughout the experiment, the variables should have remained constant in order to get an accurate results. All the participants in experimental group received uniform and
The first hypothesis , which was that if more people will choose mint over fruit gum, was proven wrong because more people chose fruit . People picked the fruit flavored gum because of how colorful the rapper looked, the color orange is bright and attracting .The second hypothesis for the second experiment is supported by the results , mint gum’s flavor does lasted longer. Mint Gum has mint flavor from plants that helps keep the flavor longer . In the future, the experiment will be , does how many times you chew the gum play a role in the flavors lasting ?
Identify the independent Variable Size of the tablet Identify the dependent Variable Reaction time List the controlled variables The solution (water), temperature, volume of water (200 mls) The amount of Alka- Seltzer How will the dependent variables be measured A stop watch will be started as the pieces of Alka-Seltzer are dropped into 200ml of room temperture water Describe the expected results if the hypothesis is true The 3 smaller pieces of Alka Seltzer will dissolve quicker than the ½ tablet .
The data observed and recorded in this lab shows that the concentration of miracle gro’ does affect the growth rate and germination speed of black eyed peas. The data is shown through two graphs and two data tables. The control group in this experiment is the seeds with a 0% concentration of miracle gro’, therefore the seeds with just water. The experimental groups are different concentrations of miracle gro’ including a 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% concentration. The variable in this experiment is the amount/concentration of miracle gro’.
a biology class wants to perform an experiment to investigate the effect of different colors of light of green, yellow, red and clear cellophane and plant three seeds in each one. What part do the three seeds experiment? A,Confounding variables B.Independent variables C.Control variables D.Dependent variables 40. Iodine directly helps which of the following glands to function properly?
This appeals to our physiological needs because naturally, humans need to eat food and to hear from a professional that there are other influences outside of food that are giving cause to the obesity crisis gives Americans a slight sigh of relief when it comes to the degree of toxicity of our foods. Furthermore, that people eat a more wholesome diet versus those that do not, tend to be healthier than that live on fast and processed foods,there are also stark differences to recognize between these classes that should be taken into account as well such as the tendency to engage in exercise, air quality, and other health considerations such as smoking and

Stanley Milgram wants to know how people would go in obeying an instruction. For his experiment he stand a procedure it is different from others. His experiment taken at human beings. 40 males aged between 20 and 50 were selected for the experiment, These 40 males were professionals who is unskilled. There is a teacher and learner in his experiment.
In this particular experiment the constant condition, the factor that was never changed, was the room temperature water. The independent variable, the variable the student affected, was how much water was placed into the beakers. The dependent variable, a variable that was affected by the independent variable, was the time it took for the tablet to fully dissolve. The control group, which did not receive treatment from the students, was the 50 ml of water as a result of being the medium between the three measurements of water. Finally, the experimental group, the subject that was exposed to the variable during the experiment, was the 25 ml and 75 ml of

He claims that it is very easy to find fast food restaurants everywhere, but healthy food is not accessible everywhere. The author emphasis that obesity is a very serious problem and it increase sickness like diabetes in the society and government spends huge amount of many on diabetes every
Some of which included gathering the blind folds and buying two packs of skittles to make sure there was defiantly enough of each flavor (strawberry, orange, lime, lemon, and grape) to be used three different times. Also, I needed to find fifteen different people who were willing to participate in my experiment. All of which were not allergic to skittles. While achieving this experiment, I’ve encountered some weaknesses and limitations along the way. Some weaknesses that I was faced with included finding appropriate times to conduct this experiment, because of the fact that I divided the fifteen participants up into three different groups.
‘This more than any other factor is the main cause of weight gain. We are victims of our own success”. Current related research: (“The overarching goal of the Healthy Lifestyles Research Center (HLRC) is to facilitate interactions among faculty that promote collaborative research into diverse aspects of how daily lifestyle habits and actions impact both short and long term health, chronic disease risk, and quality of life”). (“The HLRC conducts a seminar series that allows attendees to participate in discussions and exchange ideas about research developments in exercise and wellness, nutrition, and kinesiology”).
As a matter of fact, as early as in 1980, the American governments have been aware of the detrimental effects of the unhealthy diet on people’s health (Sebelius and Vilsack 1). In the book, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 (2010), issued by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS), the statistics demonstrate that due to the improper eating habits, 72 percent of American men together with 64 percent of American women are now suffering from obesity and overweight, and there are 32 percent of overweight and obese children in the United States, for the reason that people have consumed too many foods containing excessive calories while lacking in essential nutrients (Sebelius and Vilsack 1-2), for example, fat and oil in deep-fried fast foods. In addition to the hazard of being obese, the unhealthy eating habits also have generated a series of lethal chronic diseases, such as various cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, as well as cancer (Sebelius and Vilsack 3). To explain more, 37 percent of the American population (approximately 81.1 million people) is diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, and 11 percent of the American population (around 24 million people) is suffering from diabetes (Sebelius and Vilsack 3). Under such circumstances, various experts
The researchers only required that they have a three-day food diary what the ate in the past 24 hours. The researchers did not take into consideration that the subjects could have lied in their food diary and how many calories they truly consumed. This variable of the study was not controlled and is very concerning because nutrition plays a major factor in weight loss and impacts whether the participants gained or lost weight and
