Option 1

From the past to the present, reading and writing have had a great impact on people. Reading and writing are based on knowledge. Therefore, people are constantly learning and studying for the next course. This process requires reading and writing. Malcolm X has said, “People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book” (The Autobiography of Malcolm X, p.398). Reading and writing are a way to change my life.

Did reading and writing impact my life? Yes. I used to look for an internship, and wrote resume for 10 different companies. Every single company different forms of resumes required. I had to match myself to their requirements. They demanded my creative activity, career, or asked me about a book that I was impressed with. However, duo to a lack of language comprehension and using improper language, I was rejected everywhere. I didn’t know what the problem was. I asked for help from the career center. The advisor reviewed my resume and said “You can not find any job with this state. You need to develop your language skills first”. I was shocked. I thought the cause was somewhere else, not from my reading and writing. Therefore, I started to read articles related to current affairs, news, and business daily. In addition, I had a lot of writing exercises and grammar. After three months of preparation, I requested internships again. Eventually I found the internship at the manufacturing company. From this experience, reading and writing gave me a significant changes and opportunities.

Without reading and writing, leading others is not easy. I realized that in order to influence someone, I had to be able to read and write first. When I was in the Korean Marine Corps, I was a squad leader. A Korean squad leader has a duty to manage the company members. Therefore, I had to motivate them and to accomplish their mission. Unlike the other squad leaders, I read manuals hundreds of times to make my squad understand easily and to prevent sudden accidents. Furthermore, I wrote motivational quotes or explanations from the book to use when I gave a speech. I had to acquire knowledge from the book, mastered it by writing, and made it as mine as I can think even in extreme circumstances. When my division got an exercise called “Key Resolve” and “Ssangyong Training” which is annual training with the US Marine Corps, company called people who participate and I was always included. Due to a lot of reading and writing, I was able to build a knowledge and information to lead my company participants.

Reading and writing are always challenging for me. I am not a literary person and I am not good at language. But, I wanted to overcome my shortcomings. It was not easy for me when I was 18, came to America alone, and had to be self-reliant. Without knowing English, I did everything I could to survive. I thought I would learn English naturally. Because of my lack of language skills, I was subjected to harassment and racial discrimination. After this situation happened, I realized my serious problems. So, I decided to go to college. And started to read and write. I desperately studied to get into college, but the reality was not easy. I took two grammar books to my friend and wrote down all contents more than 15 pages a day. I thought that writing was the only way to express myself. Sometimes, I repeatedly wrote and memorized my favorite phrases in music. After that, I was able to get a proper English score and come to college.

In conclusion, reading and writing are inextricably linked to human experience. Reading and writing affect human lives. Reading and writing may be turned into our life changes. We are also relevant and influential in everything one does. Therefore, I think reading and writing have an incredible influence on our lives.

The Supplement is a product intended for ingestion that contains a dietary ingredient intended to add further nutritional value to supplement the diet. This is intended to help ensure people are getting enough nutrients, while others are promoted as helping to reduce disease or to increase strength. Supplements are a combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, etc. There are marketed in forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, powders, and liquids. More than half of adults in the United States use at least one type of dietary supplement. People have been taking dietary supplement for health benefits. It began to become more popularized in the 2000s, and awareness of supplements began to dramatically increase. From the following reviews, shows us why we need to take the right amount of supplements.

 

• “Do you need supplements?” by Dr. Mark Hyman

“Even with a perfect diet, make it impossible for us to get the vitamins and minerals we need solely from the foods we eat.”(https://drhyman.com/blog/2015/04/02/do-you-need-supplements/)

 

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, empower people communities to heal their bodies and minds, and improve our social and economic resilience, quotes “Even with a perfect diet, make it impossible for us to get the vitamins and minerals we need solely from the foods we eat”. Since nutrients that people can absorb from food are limited, it is hard to continue to eat enough amount of food for nutrients. In addition, the animals and vegetables we eat have fewer nutrients because of – depleted soils, industrial farming, and hybridization techniques. Processed factory-made food have no nutrients. Especially, the lack of nutrients is fatal to women. For instance, women need iron during pregnancy, and breastfed infants need vitamin D. Folic acid—400 micrograms daily, whether from supplements or fortified food—is important for all women of childbearing age. Except vitamin D, includes omega-3 fats, folate, zinc, magnesium, and iron. Some people wonder why we should be taken this dietary supplement. However, think about processed factory-made foods have no nutrients and obesity due to nutritional imbalance. These nutritional imbalances cause many diseases over time.

• “Potential for Harm in Dietary Supplements” by Jane E. Brody

A form of substance abuse rampant in this country is rarely discussed publicly or privately. It involves abusing legally sold dietary supplements — vitamins, minerals, herbals and homeopathic remedies — all of which can be sold over the counter without prior approval for safety and effectiveness. (https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/health/08brod.html)

 

Getting too much of certain vitamins or minerals can cause uncomfortable side effects, like vomiting or diarrhea, and more serious health problems, like liver damage. No one knows how many such adverse effects befall supplement users, because there has been no reliable reporting system. A new federal law requires supplement manufacturers to report serious adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration, but it depends on consumers to call in reactions. Experts say most consumers are unlikely to relate health problems to a supplement they assume to be safe, and even if they do, they may be reluctant to report an adverse effect from a self-medicated substance. Michael Alexander, a regular vitamin supplement consumer in San Francisco, wrote to Kaiser Permanente that a vitamin supplement he had bought from the Kaiser pharmacy caused years of leg cramps, eventually diagnosed by a neurologist as vitamin B6-induced neuropathy. The supplement had 100 milligrams of B6, or 50 times the recommended daily amount. The ill effect developed even though Mr. Alexander cut each tablet in four parts and took “only” 25 milligrams daily. Most people who suffer unexpected side effects, illnesses, or drug interactions from dietary supplements don’t call a poison control center or the supplement manufacturer. This means that the numbers we have are likely very low estimates of actual events. Used properly, certain dietary supplements may help reduce the risk of some diseases, reduce discomfort caused by certain drugs or conditions, or simply make you feel better.

 

• “Should you Take Dietary Supplements?” by Harrison Wein, Ph.D.

You should discuss with your doctor what supplements you’re taking so your care can be integrated and managed. Dietary supplements are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods, not as drugs. The label may claim certain health benefits. But unlike medicines, supplements can’t claim to cure, treat or prevent a disease. (https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2013/08/should-you-take-dietary-supplements)

 

Each person has a different amount of supplements to be recommended, and different abilities to absorb. Be sure to follow the dosage recommendations printed on the label, or suggested by your doctor, when taking supplements. Be particularly careful when it comes to the following common supplements: Iron, Vitamins A, D and E. Iron is an essential mineral for the human body whose main function iron is to carry oxygen to tissues. Iron is also important for maintaining muscles and brain function, as well the immune system. However, if you take in more iron than you need, this can build up to toxic levels in the heart and liver. Iron overload can cause symptoms from fatigue and joint pain to sexual impotence and depression. Extremely excessive doses can damage your organs or lead to coma and death. Public health officials recommend that adult men and postmenopausal women consult a doctor before using iron supplements, as it is rare for people in these categories to be iron deficient. The upper level intake is 40-45 mg, depending on age. Vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluble vitamins, which means your body will store surplus in your liver and fat tissue. While many vitamins are water-soluble and can pass through your body with relatively mild side effects, fat-soluble vitamins can build up to toxic levels over time. We should remember supplements provide additional nutrients to those getting from our meals throughout the day. There’s no real health advantage to getting more of a particular vitamin or mineral than you need. Therefore, before you taking supplements, read carefully the directions on the label, or talk with your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take and potential interactions.

 

• “Bodybuilder Supplement Abuse a Growing Concern” by Dennis Thompson

Quite a few men are indeed using these supplements in a way that can adversely affect their physical health.

(https://consumer.healthday.com/vitamins-and-nutrition-information-27/eating-and-appetite-disorder-news-223/bodybuilder-supplement-abuse-a-growing-concern-702124.html)

 

I use supplements in my practice as a cornerstone of healing and repair. I’m interested in fitness, workout 5 days a week, and taking 7 different kinds of supplements, such as, multi-Vitamins, Omega-3 fat, Magnesium, Milk Thistle, etc. based on doctor’s recommendations, because I have a higher blood pressure, fatty liver, and diabetes since I was 18-years-old. Doctor told me to taking supplements with proper exercise. If I didn’t, many complications could take my life away. Omega-3 fat was really helped on losing weight, kept away from the unsaturated fat. Magnesium increased my vein muscles and dropped my pressure. In addition, I have tried Tourine, L-carnitine, and L-arginine for body strength, but I stopped because of frequent fatigue and skin troubles. It means that I took wrong supplements and overdose. So, I kept trying several supplements to balance nutrients, better performance, and losing weight. If I had not noticed body changes early, supplements would have adversely affected my health.

 

• “Multi-organ damage induce by anabolic steroid supplements” by Ali A Samaha

Anabolic supplements may lead to abnormal functioning of many organs, which could be fatal in some instances. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596162/)

 

Steroids use to treat some hormone problems in men, delayed puberty, and muscle loss from diseases. In otherwise, these can be used as performance-enhancing drugs that increase muscle mass and decrease fat, as well as causing many undesirable effects. Athletes, weightlifters and bodybuilders take them regularly to improve their physical performance and build up their bodies. However, side effects may include sexual and reproductive disorders, fluid retention, and severe acne. Especially, multi-organ (Liver, Heart, and Kidneys) damage induce by long-term use. Due to the sustained stimulus, all organs work excessively. For instance, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is an Austrian-American actor and formal professional bodybuilder, continued to use steroids while he was a body builder. He has a long history of taking excessive doses of 1960s preferred anabolic steroid Dianabol thus he has the effects of kidney, heart, liver damage that most get from taking the stuff. Finally, he lost all his muscles, got sagging flesh, and had several heart surgeries. Who take this drugs to build muscle, but who could wind up with significantly damaged hearts and livers at the end.

Supplements are not an actual medicine that treat diseases. It is not a drug that causes illness. There is no need to consume hundreds of supplements. Even if you take one, many decisions are needed. If you do not want to find information of supplements, check your doctor’s recommendations or read product label at least. Wrong supplementation can lead to addiction and illness. Using the right amount of supplements make us keep away from diseases.
