A healthy lifestyle


In these times is extremely difficult to live healthy because we have a lot of tentations.

But what does that mean? In general, a healthy person doesn't smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats healthy and exercises. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
The trick to healthy living is making small changes...taking more steps, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water...these are just a few ways you can start living healthy without drastic changes.
Starting with small changes can go creating a routine and get stronger every day diet and exercise as these changes we do not ruin the mood as many people tend to happen

Eating a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle: eat more fruit, sneak in more veggies, switch your salad dressing, eat low-fat or fat-free dairy, make some substitutes, etc.

Also the habits of a person with a healthy lifestyle are doing exercices, take a walk,use the stairs and leave the elevator,etc.
The weekends are fine to go perfect for exercising and thus maintain a healthy lifestyle, for example you can go to the mountain bike and get to the virgin.
Another option is if you do not have much time in the week to go to gimasio go on the weekends and so do the exercise that could not be done in week.
For this is recommended use clothes to use light clothes and good sneakers.

Is difficult follow this, but all is posible, even more if it's your own life.

My favourite get-away


Hi!

When I think of a place I go when I feel stressed or tired many places come to my mind and I think is very difficult to know which is my favorite.
Place depends on how I feel.
When I feel stressed soil tell my boyfriend to go to Sculpture Park, is a nice place in Stgo. It is a few meters from the underground " Salvador". I like this place because is silence, there are many green areas where you can sit back and look at the sky through the leaves of the trees and it is best that is in a place where you can hear the birds singing. And it is best that I can do in the company of my boyfriend.

Another place I go when I feel tired or stressed is the "Cerro San Cristobal", I think it's because I always went with my parents when we were small and there is a place that brings back memories of childhood and makes me de-stress and think more positive when I have problems.

But the best place is Coquimbo, I go when I can and I always think it's best.
Coquimbo has many places to go, such is the "Barrio Ingles" where there are many places to eat or go to spend a pleasant evening. Another fantastic place is its beaches, which are not many waves, where you can swim far offshore and without much risk. Another thing is that between Coquimbo and La Serena is a great bike path where I can use to exercise and relax.
The problem is that coquimbo is far from Santiago so I go only in vacation, but it is certainly one of the best places to de-stress and I can really go 100% happy.

Music!


Hello :) many weeks have happened without writing and today I will speak on My favourite kind of music.
Since I was a child that I liked the rock. More even since I saw the serie Tic- Tac and they were touching to every moment the songs of Queen.
But when I had thirteen one friend give me a CD with his favorite music to listen it and give my opinion. One group called my attention "The Used".
In this moment I became a fan and with the help of my friend I got all the albums of them.
On December, eleven, 2007 my dream made real: the band came to Chile. I waited per months for his arrival and buy the entry scarcely it went out to the sale. Until the day came and I was to seeing them to the theatre Caupolican after hours of wait and enormous heat. The concert was great, I think the best concert in my life.
But The Used is not the only group that I listen, also I listen Rufio, Millencolin, Thrice and other bands of alternative rock. Also I listen romantic music like Camila, Sin Bandera,Reik and others, but only when I falling in love because the romantic music without love makes me be depressed.
Sometime when I feel down I listen electronic music or regueton to make me happier.

I think that the music is a important thing in the lives of people because the music is something that identifies us and leads us to our inner world full of emotions, feelings and memories.

My blogging experience


This semester in my English classes I had to write on this blog. I didn't know anything about blogs, but I was required to learn about this.
Really, for my it is very difficult talk about this topic, because sometimes I like blogging and other times I hate it.
Sometimes I enjoy write in the blog because I was inspired, the topics that the teacher gave were interesting and funny and had many things to write, as the topic of "Free time". I can write many thing because I like talking about myself and about things that I do.
I think blogging is good, because I learn to handle more language, but sometimes it gets boring because not always I come with the desire to start to writing.
Even so I learned new words and new modes of writing.
I think one of the greatest disadvantages of writing a blog is that many issues are bored and this means that I simply do not write well and sometimes use the translator.
Other disadvantage is that being on a computer with an internet often distracted by sites such as facebook.
Finally I believe that despite its drawbacks, which are due mostly to the boring, topics, I think that write in the blog is very good to improve our english.

My ideal job!


For me it was very hard to decide what I wanted to be when I will be adult, because is something that I do all my life and my duty to do so with joy and with the best possible arrangement to deliver a good service.
Since five years I dreamed of becoming a midwife and then specialize in the area of neonatology. Is for this reason that my ideal job is work in neonatology because I love the babies and I think that I have the necessary characteristics for this job, features such as speed and psychological capacity to perform such delicate work without feeling emotional pressure.
In seven years I can see me working in a hospital in the neonatology area, I can see me too taking care of many premature babies, conduct tests and most exciting is that I can see me waiting for the exit to the world of many babies.
I have very clear what I want so now I must endeavor to achieve good grades for then have a vacancy in the specialization of neonatology.
In my early years as a midwife I want to work very hard to save money and buy a house.
I think that until we have kids take turns not mind, but later I think that I take a other specialization " sex education". In this way I will have a work schedule that has no shift.

I do not care if I work in the public area or private area that really interests me is do my work in a pleasant environment where it may be able to grant the user the best possible service.

Education and prevention in health care


The term "prevention" is typically used to represent activities that stop an action or behavior. It can also be used to represent activities that promote a positive action or behavior.
Protective factors are conditions in families and communities that, when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families.
As a health worker I must promote various types of tecniques to keep the hygiene and with this, manage to the people can prevent diferents diseases, because with a simple measure as wash the hands before to eat can decrease the stomach infections in children.
Too measures such as warm in winter, not exposed to air currents, to teach children good hands hygiene and other various can dicrease diseases, but this needs the support and understanding of the whole family.
As a midwife my work is prevent, for example, the early pregnancies, poor lactation, sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.
For this I have to promote the use of contraceptive methods, promote condon use and the most important promote that the young people have access to information about this methods and the correct use of this.
A lot of institutions work with young people through videos,talks and with personals citations with midwives or gynecologists for to clarify various doubts or to get protection methods to prevent an unwanted pregnancy or transmission of sexual infection.

Men and Women differences through history


The "traditional" roles of men and women were established to ensure the power of the head of household. In antiquity, that head of household was male. We have been socialized to expect men to be brave, industrious and domineering. Women have been expected to be submissive, timid and nurturing. Because the typical male qualities were thought to be a better springboard for sound decision making, men became the power in the family. Women were left to lament their fates.
Now in our society is not the same being a woman than a man, but these differences are not as great as in antiquity.
One of these differences for example: the woman has joined the world of work but they earn less money than men working in the same position.I think that this is very unfair because not for be women they doing a bad work.
Obviously men and woman had biological differences and these produce that men for example dress differently than women and this generate different gender stereotypes between men and woman.
I believe that the differences between women and men should not be, because we are people and we have the same rights.
In my area not exists differences being a male midwife and being female midwife but a lot of people thinks that the male midwives are gay.
This is not true, but a lot of people in our society had in their minds that the midwives had to be a women.
