The Nutrition Talk with Mr.Diaz

This Wednesday we had an interesting presentation about nutrition. This presentation was an eye opener, not only to me but to many in my class as well. Mr. Diaz came to talk to us about how nutrition is important to our bodies and lives. There were several concepts I knew because I took a nutrition class a few years ago. One thing did surprise me, milk. Personally, I hate drinking milk. It just tastes weird to me and its a hassle just to finish half a glass of milk. Cows are injected with hormones, to make production bigger and faster, and its found in meat, milk, cheese, etc. Milk does give our bones calcium, but it takes out a whole lot more than we but in. I haven't tasted milk in close to a year now. Instead of milk, I substitute it with almond or soy milk. I think it tastes better than cow milk.
Cancer is a huge part of my family. My great grandmother had cancer three times and she has had kimo twice. The third time my family and I sent her to Mexico for a "all natural, no medication" treatment. It really worked. When she had check ups the cancer cells were becoming smaller until it was practically gone. I do believe in natural remedies and not in medication. Medicine only treats symptoms, but any sickness does have to deal with nutrition.
After the talk, I went home and told the information to my family. I made it clear that nutrition is very important and if we want to live longer then we have to change our poor habits and be more active. Most of my family want to change their poor eating habits but we tend to fail once in a while. Its going to be a long road ahead of us but, a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.
Nutrition is a part of us; we just need to improve our poor decisions and make nutrition better for us. We only live once, so why not make it right?

There once was a magical kingdom filled with unicorns and ponies who ruled the world. Everyone worshiped these magical beasts. They were so beautiful and glorious that there was a holiday to honor them. On this magical day the main unicorn would shoot a rainbow out of his horn. Then the unexpected happened; they were invaded by giant monkeys. They came storming in launching bananas and  jumping everywhere. They were the most ugly monkeys any one had ever seen. They were very scary looking and had sharp teeth. All the unicorns were very terrified and didn't know what to do, since they were so so sweet, they didn't even want to fight. In that case the unicorns decided to get some help from their step-brothers and sisters; the leprechauns. Now these two mystical creatures were not very fond of each other so the unicorns had to give them a peace offering so they could both defeat the giant monkeys. The unicorns offered the most valuable possession where they would team up to bet the ugly monkeys. They won the battle where all the unicorns and leprechauns was happy, but also very sad because many lives were lost. Some of the Leprechauns even lost their humanity and went insane. The unicorns started losing some of their power and didn't want to risk losing it to the wrong hands.  Then one new enemy arose, humans. Humans began to conquer and take over all the magical beasts. They abused them and used their powers for bad. It wasn't long before they seized to exist. Now, they are all called "imaginary" and "make belief" creatures. No one even knows they once existed. That is the humans most darkest secret, they killed all the magical beasts.    

My Winter Break!!!

     Its been several weeks that I haven't done a post, I've been out on break. Winter Break could have been better but overall it was pretty sweet. My winter break had both a high and a low point. The high point was my 17th birthday party. All my friends came (a little late but they came); we played Rock Band for a bit then headed to the bowling alley. I had so much fun, it was one of the best birthdays I have had so far. A low point is definitely staying home and babysitting. It sucked not going out but I did earn a little extra cash for babysitting.
     Life is about reaching your goals and being successful. My goal for the second half of school is actually getting all A's in all of my classes. Last semester I was so close to achieve that goal but my 3.8 did not raise in Pre-Calculus. This goal is important to me because I wouldn't be disappointed and it would raise my GPA. My plan is to work 10 times harder and give it my all. I plan to work on my study skills and improve on my flaws. This should help achieve my goal.
     I was really anxious to come back to school. I wanted to see my friends and be away from home. Coming back from break is tiring but I have to get used to it. I messed up my sleeping schedule but I can jump back to my normal time in no time. Seeing and being with my friends puts me in a happier mood and I feel less stressed and relaxed. At home its really stressful and boring; I'm glad to be back.
