Obesity is defined as a body weight more than 20 per cent above the norm for one's height and build. There are many factors that regulate hunger and eating. Why do some people become obese? An important factor in obesity is the body's set point, which reflects the amount of fat stored in the body. Though fat cells can increase in number and can increase or decrease in size, they cannot decrease in number. Once you have fat cells, they are yours forever. This means that obese people can lose weight only by shrinking the size of their fat cells. Because this inducesconstant hunger, it is difficult to
maintain weight loss for an extended period of time.

Community medicine's prime concern is to prevent disease. For this purpose some communal health responsibilities are introduced. Among them one can name controlling housing standarts and the maintenance of public hygiene, health screening or the elimination of sources of infection. People everywhere need a constant supply of clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing. It is collected from natural resources and stored in reservoirs.

In the second half of the 20th century, good health is accepted as normal by most people who live in developed countries. This has resulted partly from improved standards of parental and child care and hygiene, partly from better
educational methods and communication.

There is a well-known English proverb "An apple a day keeps a doctor away". But, despite the fact that one tries to do his best in keeping fit sometimes doctor is urgently needed. It happens if you have a headache, toothache, backache, stomachache or earache, if you have a sore throat, eye or finger, if you feel pain in any part of your body or if it hurts you to move.
First of all you have to turn to your physician.

Despite the fact that our family is not so big (I mean that we live separately from my father's or mother's parents and I have not any sister or brother, only cousins), we try to build our relationship both in terms of old and modern morality. I want to stress on the fact that no one of our close or distant relatives is forgotten on his or her birthday, we are used to sending greeting cards and letters on each good occasion and can expect to get the same greetings. My parents teach me that family is not only people you live with in the house or
flat.

Domestic (family) violence, the physical, sexual, or psychological abuse committed by one family member on another, was a largely taboo topic within sociology until
the past quarter century.

A good parent really cares about children and does things in the best interests of his kids. A good parent knows what it's like to be a teenager and sees a viewpoint of kids. They should support you in what you do and praise you for all the
good things that you do.

My best friend's name's Nick. We go to school together. We have been friends for 5 years already, since he came to our school. Some people say that we look alike but I don't think so. Nick has blue eyes and fair hair, while my eyes are
brown and I'm dark-haired.

Why do we need friends in our life? Because it is the fact that we live! Nobody here on earth lives alone! Everybody needs somebody to share his feelings, his works, his happiness
and all of it!

When my family moved into our present house, it was a little better than a slum, completely unfurnished apart from a few bits and pieces which the former occupant had either forgotten to or - more likely - decided not to take with her. (These included an enormous sideboard that weighed a ton, a chest of drawers with its only remaining door hanging off, an ugly bookcase with all its panes of glass cracked, and a broken nineteenth-century piano stool.)
