BLOG # 8 HOW BEING FIT AND HEALTHY

Forty years ago people had many physical activity. They used to walk too much long distances. Nowadays, it is difficult to keep In shape. 

There are many reasons why people have a sedentary life. This affects specially the health of the children. Another problem is that sometimes they don´t feed appropriately according to their needs. They could become   obese and sick.

Consequently, some illness  in past years just old adults suffered from them. Contrarily to this, young and even children are suffering from many diseases. Some of them are: gastritis, diabetes type 2, blood pressure too high, cholesterol levels can produce heart disease. This can cause other problems as low self-esteem and depression.

I think if I want to be better we should have researched  and looked for information. For example, exercises help us improving muscular strength and endurance and cardiorespiratory strength.

If people take care about their own diet and exercise, they could improve enormously their lives. They would have felt a sense of well-being, a better social life, and self-esteem, etc.  

Moreover, government must have prepared campaigns to educate people in hospitals and in schools. The Minister   of Education must have implemented new programs related to fitness.

 In conclusion, educating people is one of the most important ways for solving some fitness  problems in the population.  

BLOG # 7 JUAN PABLO II

The  Pope John Paul II has made history since 1978 by becoming the first non Italian pope in more than 400 years.

Karol Józef Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 in Poland.  He was a defender for human rights. The catholic church had used his influence to effect political change. Some experts had credited him with the fall of communism in his native Poland.  Also, he has been attributed two miracles after dying. He died in Italy in 2005. He  has been  declared a saint. The official sainthood ceremony, was held on April 27, 2014.

At this time, I think the catholic church  had not had another similar character like him. In the past people  recognized  him for his humility, intelligence, for his capacity for negotiating.  Thanks to the legacy that he had left, humanity had been chosen as an example of solidarity, and commitment.

BLOG # 6. ELDERLY PEOPLE

Some countries such as Canada, Japan and in Europe the population  has experienced ageing. For example, Japan during 30 years has been preparing to face that problem. 

And here in Costa Rica some statisticians have been ensuring that in five years from now,  will be living around one million elderly people. That means it is imperative that we must work hard for confronting that situation. 

To illustrate, in our country the government has been working in  developing a program which is " Atención al adulto mayor." In this case, INA has been giving professional training to the staff who is going to work with ageds.

Also, I believe that the government should act beyond in order to solve the problem in the future. It  not only has to build  hospitals, housing, pensions and entertainment, but also work in educating people who are related to this kind of population. 

Blog # 5. IMPORTANT EVENTS

I have lived in Desamparados for more than 30 years. In the past we could experiment a peaceful life. I didn´t see any assault in the streets. It only hapened in  the Central of San José. When I studied in the high school, in the worst of the cases people only used mariahuana, so we didn´t listen about other kind of drugs.

However, in the present it is completely different. Something is part of the routine. Everydays we have  listened to the news about all the bad things the citizens have had to face. The peace has gone. Especially in the South part of San José, Alajuelita and Desamparados.  The drogadiction has been a big problem.  The government hasn´t been able to control that. The proliferation of the gangs has become an important problem that not only the government, but also people in general have had to confront. In my case, I have lived near Clinica Marcial Fallas for many years. The other day, The police found a burned body three blocks near my house. Can you imagen, even we are not famliar with this kind of "world", always  being affected  is a possibility that we fear.

I think that we should make many changes to the future to recover the peace. One of these are in education, laws, more employment,  etc.  

Blog #4. MY PREDICTION FOR THE FUTURE

Fifty year from now! Is something very difficult to predict.  

Probably  humans are going to have to adapt to many changes in order to protect the specie and the environment.  

I think, It is going to be easier to travel around the space as people travel today to Europe and other continents. 50 years from now some scientists are going to discover other kind of energies to travel. These are going to be more efficient and cheaper. They are not going to pollute the environment. 

Maybe we are going to know other ways of living very far away from here. Governments and politicians will be making very important decisions to preserve their own countries lives.  People will be living and working producing what they need for surviving. Humanity  will be facing the most important challege.  After signing peace treatments, politicians are going to look for new ways of producing water and raising forest.  Medicine field will be very advanced while humans are going to suffer new sickness. 

As the world is going to experiment wars,  at the end, people will be getting the peace.  Finally, it will be the way humans could survive.  

Blog #3.  UNFORGETTABLE  DAYS 

When I was a child, I used to live with my Parents  and 6 siblings in a farm.  I am the youngest of the seven children they had. During the schoolar days, my oldest brothers and sisters  would go to study  out of the house because there wasn´t a high  school.  When I was six, my brother and I used to go to the primary school by horse.  While we were taking classes, the horse was feding around the classrooms. Not many people used to have horses for going to school at that time. Can you imagen  many horses  eating around us? When we would return the house, my brother  and I would start a race to see who  would be the winner. It was wonderful!  

Also, on vacation time, Our brothers and sisters would return to our house. They would invite cousins and other friends, so the house would seem like a hotel. Poor my mom, she always was cooking for attending that quantity of people.  At nights, when the moon was brighting, we all together would go to walk near a nice river. We acostum to stand over there playing the guitar and singing. It was amazing!

Hello! I try to write my second blog. A Memorable Experience
