Different types of diets

There are a lot of diets that people can do. The diets that are used the most are six.

 The Paleo Diet

This is a natural way of eating, one that almost abandons all intake of sugar. The only sugar in a Paleo diet comes from fruit. However, abandoning sugar is not the only stipulation. A Paleo diet consists of fish, fowl, vegetables, fruits, nuts, oils, sweet potatoes, eggs and meat, so long as that meat is grass-fed and not grain-fed.
The Blood Type Diet
Some doctors have started to research diets that coincide with particular blood types. The premise of these diets attempts to match people with their common dietary needs based on their blood type. For example, individuals with type O blood are recommended to eat lots of food that are high in protein. In order to lose weight, spinach, red meat, seafood and broccoli are suggested while dairy should be avoided. Those with type A blood are recommended to avoid meat and place an emphasis on turkey, tofu, and fruit while weight loss is contingent on eating a diet that consists primarily of soy, seafood and vegetables. Individuals with type B and AB blood also have their own dietary restrictions and recommendations.
The Vegan Diet
This diet is a form of a vegetarian diet as it eliminates meat and animal products. One of the primary effects of this diet is that it reduces the intake of cholesterol and saturated fat.
The South Beach Diet
This diet was first introduced in 2003 and is based on the premise of changing one’s overall eating habits by balancing out one’s everyday diet. Certain carbohydrates are completely avoided. It does not eliminate carbohydrates all together.
The Mediterranean Diet
This is another kind of vegetable-heavy diet that avoids a lot of meat, but does not eliminate it altogether. This diet has been proven to help with depression, in addition to controlling blood sugar levels and helping with weight loss. The Mediterranean diet recommends the use of oil as much as possible and that means as an alternative to butter, salad dressings or marinades. It also emphasizes adding vegetables to each meal and favors fish over chicken.
Raw Food Diet
This is a diet that places a premium on eating uncooked and unprocessed foods. The diet eliminates the intake of any foods that have been pasteurized or produced with any kind of synthetics or additives.

The types of ingredients the food contains make it unhealthy: sodium, sugar and fat.
 Swinging through the drive-thru or hopping into your favorite fast-food restaurant tends to happen more often than some would like to admit. According to the Food Institute’s analysis millennials alone spend 45 percent of their budget’s food dollars on eating out. In comparison to 40 years ago, the American family now spends half their food budget on restaurant food.While an occasional night of fast food won’t hurt, a habit of eating out could be doing a number on your health.

This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity. Some scientists think that the globalization is a "new event", while there are others that think is an "old event". I think that is not new.  For thousands of years, people and, later, corporations, have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages.

There is no question that globalization has been a good thing for many developing countries who now have access to our markets and can export cheap goods. Globalization has also been good for Multi-national corporations and Wall Street. But globalization has not been good for working people (blue or white collar) and has led to the continuing deindustrialization of America. Globalization is a complicated issue. It is necessary to evaluate the advantages and the disadvantages before we get any conclusions.

 Now we can make advantage of multinationals.A multinational company is a business that operates in many different countries at the same time. In other words, it’s a company that has business activities in more than one country.
