A healthy life style. Is it possible? How?

Today I will write about the possibility of having a healthy life style, and how to do it.
To begin I would like to explain what healthy life means to me.
To be healthy does not necessarily mean you’re free of all illness, or at least what most people understand about being ill. I speak of health as a whole complex life condition that requires harmony in every single way.
To have a healthy life is to treat you responsibly.
An important element to reach the required balance in a healthy life is to have a good nutrition. This is extremely important because your body needs all the nutrients to behave better every single day. Because if you have a healthy nutrition you should have the right physical condition. Now a day is not weird to have a bad nutrition, in a society where time seems to be the most precious wealth and food is sometimes just a waist of time. In this context the market offers food that does not provide the best nutrients but does satisfy the urgent matters. Also, this bad nutrition is responsible for many diseases of the actual westernized culture, for example obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and many more.
But a good nutrition is not enough to reach the required balance in a healthy life style. Another important factor is to have an active life, meaning not to be sedentary. For this reason it is very significant to practice sports as a constant part of a routine.
We could say now that you have a perfectly healthy organism, but that’s not a life style, what you need to complete the task is to fulfill your life with activity that also satisfies your concerns.
But it is important to say that we’re not alone in this world, we live in society. For this reason it is not enough to help yourself in the search of health, but also help others.

Diario de Motocicleta

Hi, today I will write about a movie that amuses me witch is called “Diario de motocicleta”.
This movie talks about Che Guevara’s first steps in his revolutionary life, not necessarily as the armed civil soldier everybody knows him for, but as a young man intrigued by his land and its history.
The journey starts in Argentina where he just graduated from medicine school. He was very moved by social unfairness and there was no way for him to stay indifferent , but he was decided to build his mind over reality and for that he had to live enough experiences to truly understand the problems of the people, not only in Argentina, but also in its neighbors countries.
This is the reason he decided to travel all through the continent in search for the real meaning of life.
At the beginning he travels by motorcycle. The first destiny is Chile, where he could get to know plenty of places, people and most of all have fun.
His second destiny was Machu Picchu. In this sanctuary the trip takes a much more spiritual connotation where the experience he lives makes him realize the importance of his Latin-American roots.
The last place he visits is the Amazonas. In this beautiful land he gets in love of nature and is wealth but also gets amazingly touched by poverty and sickness.
I wrote this because I think you can’t live if you haven’t seen this movie that shows a very human and close image of one of the most famous social actors in our continent.

About my blogging

Hi!
Today I will write about my experience in Friday’s afternoon writing in my blogg.
That experience was very new for me, because I don’t really know about computers and internet. For this reason in the beginning it was a little difficult to know about the functioning of this page, but now I can use it very good.
I can say that this class was very finding for me, not only because it was a relaxing time but also because it was a moment to think and write about a lot of things.
I like it specially because in my career the study was very scientific and I am not very scientific, I can say that I am very humanistic. So this blogg was a good way to write and develop this area, the letters.
Also I could improve my English. Write helps me to know a better vocabulary and also helps me to have a more fluent English thinks.
Also I could improve my talk English because if I get better writing in English I also will be better talking in English.
This class had a lot of good advantages. It gave me a great moment to share with my companions. It shows me a funny way to learn. I could improve my English and also I could know more about the technologic, the internet services.
But I have to recognise that one disadvantage, which was very disagreeable, was the place where it was. It takes me a lot of time moving. And for this reason sometime I came late.
But in spite of this it was a really entertainment class and an interesting way to learn.
This is my final session, so I want to dismiss, and I hope you that you could enjoyed with my writings.
By and see you maybe in another life.

Florencia.

My ideal job

Today I will write about my ideal job.
I think that my career, physical therapy, has a lot of areas that you can specialize in. For example, you can choose neurology, respiratory, orthopedic, cardiology, etc...
And also you can work in hospitals, in a sport club, in a theatre, so technically there is a whole world of opportunities inside the career itself. And each space requires different ways to proceed.
But in my case, I think that I would like to work in the neurology area, especially in a public hospital for children.
I think it's maybe because I like a lot the things that you can do with the rehabilitation of a human, I mean the ways you can help people, the tools you can use for it. You have to be very creative.
For example, you have to think and also imagine of the better way to do an improvement in the patient, not only in their physical area but also in their psychological. Because disability is the condition of not being able to perform because of a physical or psychological disorder.
For this reason, in the treatment you have to use different instruments, for example, balls, different textures, sounds, colors, etc. These instruments help people to stimulate this nervous system and also their body.
And also another reason is because I will have to use my imagination to help a patient reach rehabilitation with not many resources, because public hospitals are very poor in their implements.
I want to work with children because in this period of life the organism is very perceptible to changes. Children are always learning and their body is much more adaptable than a grownup.

Torres del Paine travel

Hi,

Today I will talk about more than a description of a photo (which was taken by my sister called Margarita), but also about a special moment of my life.
You can see that I am in Torres del Paine, where is in the south of our country.
This traveled was realized in February, 2009. And we were my two sister, called Margarita and M. Jose and me.
We were there about two weeks walking and walking. We did all the route of the natural reservation.
It was a big travel in every sense. For example, the relation with the nature. The experience with it was wonderful. I couldnt believe the greatness of the milenary icesheets.
In other hand the relationship with the people that we knew there was very intense. We could talk about a lot of things in spite of our diference.
And finally, the relation with our sister and with my self was very close. Specially because the place gave you the tools for ponder with yourself.

It is a picture impossible to forget, I hope that you can enjoy it.

Luck.

Educational crisis

In spite of the evident change in the educational system in our country and the concept of education around the world, educational changes are not as fast as they should be.
Along with the technology, matters, topics and educational tools constantly changes as society does. And today big social changes are related to social movement, to give enough opportunities to people so they can reach their goals. And evidently, education is the only way to create this opportunities, without education, or even worse, without a decent educational policy no human being in a westernized society will make his way to “happiness”.
This is a real problem nowadays, because education in Chile is directly related to the economic condition of people. And as long as the educational system doesn’t try to include poor people in its main policy, the difference between rich and poor will increase every day. In order to reach this goal, the state must have a much more active economical participation in educational institutions.
Assuming that talents are equally distributed in every human being is unfair to give unequal opportunities depending on their economical situation.

Stereotypes

Hi!
Today I will write about the differents stereotypes from our faculty.
First of all we can find the typical grind and organized man or woman, they are always studding and talking with the profesors, and obviusly, they have realy good marks.
Another stereotype that we can look for are the hippies,they are very peaceful. Is very common that they play some instrument and also they use to listened a similar music, like folkore, andean music and sometime rock not very hard.
Sometime we search with sporty persons. They use to enter to the university with the sport scholarship. They usually wear track suite and sneaker. Some of them are always in the gim, and they love the endorphins.
Also in our university are a lot of people that have strange hairdoes with odd court of hair. And also some of them use to have different colors of their hair.
Another stereotypes are the politics students, who are always purified and without time. Nevertheless they are constant doing a lot of activities. And also we can find them in different protest or debates.

Like a conclution in our university we can find a lot of different stereotypes of people, we can look for a lot of varied way to see the world and different way to face the problems and event.
And it is the big wealth that we must stand out of University of Chile.

Good luck!
And I invite you to know all of them.
