 INTRODUCTION

According to what I learned during the unit, I was able to realize how to integrate
sentences with a grammatical construction such as pronouns, prepositions,
connectors, comparisons, nouns, adjectives and adverbs and determiners, so it is
intended to identify in each text the total integration of the grammar of the English
language.

Mediterranean and DASH Tie for Top Spot in Recent Ranking

Each year, U.S. News & World Report releases a ranking of popular diets—
assessed by a panel of health experts based on seven categories, including weight
loss, nutrition, safety, and ease of compliance.

Topping 2018’s list of “best diets overall” is a tie between the Mediterranean and
DASH Diets, which received high marks for being healthy and easy to follow, and
potentially effective for weight loss in both the short- and long-term.

“No single diet works for everybody, but the DASH and the Mediterranean diets
have the strongest biological underpinning, and also have been tested in the
largest and longest studies,” says Dr. Eric Rimm, Professor of Epidemiology and
Nutrition at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, who served as one of 25
panelists for the 2018 ranking. “I’m glad the other panelists agreed with me since it
is not always the case that nutrition experts agree!”

Other popular diets—such as those that involve fasting or severe dietary

restrictions—fell lower on the list, with the Ketogenic Diet ranking last. Although
these and other diets may result in short-term weight loss, many were rated as
difficult to follow, which factored into lower scores for weight loss in the long term.

“Some diets that fell further down the list have only been tested short term, and
should really be considered prescriptions—not long-term lifestyle solutions” says
Rimm. “Choosing a diet that is both healthy and easy for you to follow is crucial for
lasting results.”

Remember that even if a particular diet may result in weight loss for one person, it
may not be effective for another due to individual differences in genes and lifestyle.
And while research shows that calories matter, focusing on food quality is an
equally important part of the equation for preventing weight gain and promoting
weight loss.
