Welcome to my home page. This page was designed for my persuasive speech class SPH364 at the University of Hawaii. The following are a few paragraphs that will hopefully give you a new perspective on the issues of obesity, smoking and the balanced budget amendment.
Today in America, one third of the population is clinically overweight. My quest which is to bring assistance to all interested in weight reduction. Benefits attribute to your mind, body, and especially the soul. There is no age or physical requirement but beware of your own bodily limitations and be safe. Physical activity is not the battle for a majority of people, but diet dicipline is the detering factor which determines success or failure. Physical activity is defined that of anything done in a time frame from fifteen to thirty minutes which brings your heart rate above your normal resting rate that should be done every other day.
Obesity defined as exess body fat that is leading mortality rate from coronary heart disease. In determining your daily calorie intake first, take your desired weight and divide by thirity. Medication are available from overcounter or prescription ranging from amphetamines to appetite reduction. In summary, there is no magic remedy to weight reduction although the options which you take is your decision based on your disicipline, cost, and remember professional consultation is reccommended.

Smoking, today twenty-seven percent of American population smoke although the entire population are born as non smokers. In your quiting smoking after twenty-four hours your risk of having a heart attack is reduced fifty percent and after two years of successful in stopping the habit your heart disease rate is as similar to someone who never smoked. After being abstinene for fifteen years the risks of lung cancer is reduced from eighty to ninety percent. Most important that after three months of not smoking there will never be a smoker's cough again. With in days in making your commitment the benefits will come to you: improved work productivity, smell and taste, self-esteem, fire prevention, and no more thoughts of side stream smoke conflicts while in public. Your pocket book will thankyou in smart choice in quiting and reward you with cash.

The United States balance budget require cuts and increase taxes on the working and lower income class of citizens. Although in order to restore and uplift the current deficit these measures of tax hikes and budget cuts in government programs is essential for the future of this great nation. The congressional seven year plan will restore the principles of the land of opportunity and alleviate the tax burdens in the future of today's youths. If the trend continues in the budget Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will be prime benefactors to the success.
