This internet article edited by Sharon Denny provided me with ample information about
what healthy fats are and some examples of foods that contain those healthy fats. This
article has the .org domain signifying that the information can be trusted under the
impression that it comes from an organization that researches health and dietary needs of
the human body. This article really proved to be useful as textual support to back up my
opinions and assumptions based on the information I gathered from this source and other
sources.

Professor Keyserling of medicine at UNC has a M.D. and MPH; he currently works at the
University of North Caroline, Chapel Hill in the division of general medicine and clinical
epidemiology. He and his colleagues conducted a study that researched the lifestyle and
weight loss journeys of promoting a Mediterranean diet to people in the United States,

more specifically North Carolina. They conducted the study to find out if there was a
direct relationship between this particular type of diet and how it affects a persons body
and organs, like the heart. From this scholarly journal that was equipped with charts and
results from the experiments really helped me to gather information on what types of diet
choices could lead to a CVD and which ones could help prevent them. I was able to
summarize information and process the information, leaving me able to make educated
conclusions to the topic.

This journal goes in depth into the signs a symptoms of a potential heart disease and how
they can present themselves differently in men than women. It goes into depth defining
the background, possible treatments, and other factors of women living with heart
disease. It was a very helpful scholarly journal to read and use information from because
it described and presented the information in a way that I could clearly understand what
it means for a woman to have a heart disease, and being a young woman myself, I felt I
connected with it and would be able to use its evidence in my paper. I can rely on this
source because both of the authors have medical credentials and backgrounds; Susan
Shirato, DNP, RN, CCRN, is an instructor, Jefferson School of Nursing, Thomas
Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, and Beth Ann Swan, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, is a
professor, Senior Associate Dean, Graduate Program, Jefferson School of Nursing,
Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA. They put their knowledge into this

journal, and it will help me form conclusions and back up those conclusions when writing
my paper describing heart disease and its effects on a persons life.

In this medical study, Roman Shrestha and Michael Copenhaver studied the trends of
heart disease and its causes throughout a persons life. They explored six categories and
how each one played a part through childhood to adulthood in their heart function. They
found that childhood behaviors become habits and are hard to break once in adulthood, so
they suggest starting out with good habits in childhood that way they can control or
prevent great damage to their heart in the future. Roman Shrestha is a research assistant,
community medicine and health care affiliate; he has a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry and
a MPH, making him a reliable author for the journal. Michael Copenhaver is an associate
professor and has a B.A. f in psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. He was a
postdoctoral fellow at Yale from 1999-2000. These two men are very educated and
capable of conducting this level of research that I can rely on to be creditable for my
paper. Their information proves to be helpful for me with writing this paper because one
of the topics I want to focus on is the effects of childhood habits have on a person as an
adult. This journal is perfect because it is based on the same content, so I will have ample
information to make conclusions from and even quote for evidence to my conclusions.

This study conducted by nutritional epidemiology PhD student, Tammy Tong, is similar
that of Dr. Keyserlings study in the fact that they both have to do with a Mediterranean diet and
how it affects the cardiovascular health of a population. One thing that is included in this journal
is the comparison of effects in those who did not follow a Mediterranean diet. It goes into detail
about the background of a Mediterranean diet, what it actually is made up of, and where on the
planet this type of diet in followed. This study took place in the United Kingdom, so with that
there is a variety between this study and Dr. Keyserlings which took place in the United states. I
took most of the information from the results and conclusion sections of the journal because they
gave me a clear image of how the experiment turned out and what type of information was
gathered from it. I was able to use this source in a paraphrasing way because I was able to read
the information given in the different sections and put them together to form a conclusion about
the topic. Having the charts and graphs made it a little easier to decipher the information. This
journal proved to be very informative in a way that I was able to skim through the writings and
pick out some of my key words that I used in the library search. Doing this allowed me to focus
on the parts of the journal that pertained to my topic specifically and would give me the correct
information I needed to create my conclusions and solidify my assumptions.

Edward Yu, MSC, and his colleagues most of whom have PhDs and MDs have conducted
research on the diet choices and lifestyles of people in the United States. In this journal they
explain and prove what types of foods can have an increased risk for CVD development and
which ones do not. They also go into detail about what types of non-dietary lifestyle choices can
reduce the risks. They have charts in this journal that make it easy to decipher the information.
Each chart has a few paragraphs that go along with it; they explain a few points from the charts
and examine why the risk would be higher or lower. This scholarly journal was very helpful in
determining specific examples that would lower or heighten the risk of developing a
cardiovascular disease. I was able to directly quote from this source; the quote allowed me to
prove my conclusions were correct about living a healthy lifestyle will lead to a healthier heart.
This source allowed me to confirm my assumptions and conclusions. I was able to read and
digest the information in a way that I understood and be able to use what I learned from it in my
paper.
