СКАЧАТЬ Answer 1 What are some way of life changes that I ought to make on the off chance if I have high blood pressure? Way of life changes is similarly as significant as taking prescriptions.Lessening your weight by only 10 pounds might be sufficient to bring down your blood pressure.Shedding weight can assist with upgrading the impacts of high blood pressure prescription and may likewise decrease other risk factors, such as diabetes and high bad cholesterol How can you decide about the calories burned by the body? Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is calculated using the Harris–Benedict equation.This equation use3 variables: weight, height, and age to calculate the total energy expenditure by multiplying BMR by an activity factor.Equation For Men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height in cm) – (5.677 × age in years) Do my dietary needs differ all through life? Dietary needs change all through life. From early stages through adulthood, great nourishment is fundamental to growth and development, and to keeping up wellbeing in the later years. For what reason should I read the labels on packaged foods?Particularly on a low-sodium diet, you have to take a gander at the food name to constrain sodium admission. Almost all of the packaged foods have a list of ingredients and their nutrition.In the United States, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) look over the nutrition fact of a processed food using the food label. The reason for this is to assist the buyers with making fast, informed food decisions that add to a healthy diet.Particularly on a low-sodium diet, you have to take a gander at the food name to constrain sodium intake. I have a grain hypersensitivity, what food would it be advisable for me to stay away from?What sort of food are considered grains? Any food produced using wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, grain, or another oat grain is a grain item. Bread, pasta, cereal, breakfast oats, tortillas, and cornmeal are instances of grain items. There are entire grains, containing the grain piece, also, refined grains, which have been processed to evacuate bran and germ. There are numerous advantages to an eating routine wealthy in grains.

      The intention of this is to assist the people in understanding their health position and guide them with the customized methods to accomplish good health and also encouraging them by giving rewards to them on meeting their goals. Suppose that a person went to a doctor for a diagnosis of diabetics and taken some tests after the examination. After receiving the results doctor advises losing your weight, by changing the diet and also asks to increase the physical activity. On the other hand, your job makes you travel a lot and also making you take the diet in the outside restaurants. You also don’t have enough time to increase physical activity by spending some time at the gym. Now the question arises what I have to do now? With the increase in technology and the availability of information on the internet, a search can be made on the diabetics. A lot of information, methods, and applications are found on the net and it leads to confusion and also makes us scary. The main important point to note here is a need for personalized support and it can be made possible with the help of the cognitive application because it can provide a better insight with the personal information making it customized to the needs of the person rather than going in a generalized method.

Using IBM Watson’s cognitive capability CafeWell Concierge (Figure 1.14) built a health application with a lot of support for the people who use it. Using the tracking devices helps to reduce your weight, reminds you to take pills on time, customize your diet based on the BMI, gives information about the restaurants around you with the food choices and also other community support. The main advantage of this is that it will give a tailored and constant support to the user.

1.14 Advantages of Cognitive Computing

      There is a revolution in the automation process in every organization and the pace has increased these days. The organizations have realized that if they do not do it they will be lost in the competition. Cognitive computing helps organizations to take decisions by their executives as it can analyze a large volume of all types of data.

      Cognitive computing has a host of benefits including the following:

       Precise Data Analysis

These systems are highly productive in analyzing a situation efficiently as they can gather and analyze a large volume of data. In the event we take the instance of the health care industry, these cognitive systems play an important role in assisting the doctors and making things easy for deciding so that life can be saved in time. The cognitive systems gather and dissect the information from different resources for example past clinical reports, past information from the clinical organizations, medical journals, and diagnostic tools that assist the doctors in giving a suggestion based on an information-based treatment that benefits the patients and also the doctors. One important point to know here is that cognitive computing is not going to replace the doctors, but assist them to take decisions faster.

       Leaner & More Efficient Business Processes

      In real-time the cognitive computing can access the large volume of data and analyze it thereby it can find new business opportunities and also can deal with the basic procedure is driven issues progressively. With the help of IBM Watson, the system can simplify the lengthy process, decrease the risk factors, and guides to take the right path with the varying conditions.

       Enhanced Client Interaction

      The cognitive computing can assist humans while interacting with clients to provide a better answer to the question posed by him. It can be utilized to automate the client interaction process and provide a better service to the clients. This technology can provide a solution to the client without the need for interaction with the staff. It can provide better relevant information to the customer so that it increases client satisfaction, improve the client experience, and considerably more betrothed with the organization.

1.15 Features of Cognitive Computing

      The motivation behind cognitive computing is the making of processing structures that can take care of confusing issues without consistent human intercession. To execute these functions in business and across the board applications, Cognitive Computing consortium has suggested the features as Adaptive, Interactive, Iterative and stateful, and Contextual.

      Adaptive: It is the initial step for building a cognitive application. The system should learn to adapt from the surroundings as humans do. It should be dynamic and always well prepared to gather information, learning the objectives, and updating the requirements and goals. This type of system cannot be designed for a single assignment.

Interactive: In human beings, the brain controls the body by connecting with different and gathering information using the senses. In the same manner, the cognitive application should be able to СКАЧАТЬ
