Blogger Assignment #1: Health

For my topic I wanted to research something in the health area. I thought that there were multiple interesting topics that were given as ideas in the mind map that was provided for us. Out of these topics I have decided to research J.H. Kellogg and find out more about how he has contributed to the field of health. The first step I took in finding information for this assignment was going to the mind map page and checking out the different links that were posted in my topic.

For my project I am going to focus on J.H. Kellogg and look more into how he helped shape the views and treatment styles that people have. I would like to find out if his work and theories are still used by people in order to try and help them become healthier over all. I would also like to branch off of his theories and try to find theories that people have come up with in future generations today. By doing this I could find out if there are any connections to what J.H. Kellogg had theories about in his time.  

Some information that I found out about J.H. Kellogg was that he was known as the originator of health foods, he helped to create healthy cereals, and he was big into manufacturing health foods so that people could make better choices in their everyday diets. He was also known for many volumes of health related books and was not only devoted to finding new dieting methods but was a surgeon and an inventor.

Using the information that I find, I would like to relate what Kellogg researched over his period of time, to what is currently being researched and thought about. I think it would be interesting to show how his ideas or theories relating to health and diets can still be thought of in today’s society and maybe even still be used or thought about.
