November Extra Blog Post

     My mentor, Karla Vallejo Rodriguez, assigned me to research a theory she has always found interesting: Whether or not certain foods affect one's moods. She assigned me to find several research on the theory. With all the research, she told me to than format the important facts of research and create a nifty and appealing pamphlet that she could hand out to certain people in her sessions that have unhealthy food patterns. I am currently in the process of assembling research and creating the pamphlet for Karla.




Through my research so far I have found somewhat of a correlation between eating habits and moods of people. According to reported research by NBC News, people should eat at least every 5 hours to keep their blood levels steady. Eating at this rate would ensure that your body gets necessary fuel, which may ultimately keep your mood stable. Also eating protein can slow the absorption of carbohydrates in your blood flow, which can improve your overall mood for various hours after a meal. On the other hand, meals with more fiber could slow the absorption of carbohydrates in your bloodstream which can decrease mood-swings. I will continue to research this topic and ultimately create a pamphlet for my mentor Karla.

Blog 9: EQ

Content:

1.) I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.)
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
- The eq is rather simple. However it is open to various answers, and you are able to argue a point on it. I also can understand this eq, overall I think its a good eq and passes the rule of three.

b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
-This eq does not reach the rule of three for writing an eq because the formatting of the sentence is off. I am not able to understand the eq based off it's wording. Due to that flaw this eq isn't qualified and should be revised in order to fulfill the rule of three. I also don't think this eq allows for argument because the term conviction is by a law, and laws can't be questioned. 

c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
-This eq is not a yes or no answer because every customer has different needs. This eq is also open to argument and various answers so this is good because it allows for depth of research. Overall the formatting is good, and I fully understand the eq. This eq passes the rule of three.

d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
-This eq is well formatted. However chronic pain, from my knowledge, can only be treated in limited ways. Thus, this eq isn't open to argument, and that limits the amount of research possible for this eq. Due to that, this eq does not pass the rule of three.

3.) Based on the rule of three I came up with this draft of my eq:
"What is the most vital factor in conducting a successful group therapy session?"
