We only used 10% of our brain? :S


Hi people! How are you? I hope that the spring is caused happiness in your life ;).

Today I’m going to write about an article called “Brain and learning”. I choose the part “But I read somewhere that we only use 10% of our brain anyway”. The next things that I’m going to tell you are like a summary of the article.

In 1930, a man whose name was Karl Lashley believed that the brain had areas with not function. Now, this theory is incorrect because neuroscience findings show that the brain is 100% active. Even during sleep the brain haven’t areas inactive!!

Today, the brain can be described in functional areas (someone controlled the information perceived by the eye, other the information perceive by the ear, etc) and all the areas are linked to permit the production and comprehension of the language.

People with problems in their brains, have some areas useless because of the “trauma”. But the brain has an extraordinary plasticity, its means that the neurons are able to replace the neuron’s networks that were destroyed and reconfigure the networks to overcome the defect, that is to say, the brain can be recovered.

Well, like an opinion of this part of the chapter 6 I could say that the myth “We only use 10% of our brain” is completely wrong. In fact, thanks to our brain we can do all the thinks of the diary life (to walk, to talk, to eat, etc). Due to the complex processes that our brain controls, it has to be so difficult for the study. I know that scientists have discovered a lot of the connections that are in the brain, but I’m sure that it still lacks many.

Ok! That’s all for today.
See you in the next opportunity.
Good bye classmates.

A healthy lifestyle

Hi people! How the week goes? I hope that incredible.

Today I have to talk about if is it possible to have a healthy lifestyle If the answer is yes, how you can achieve?

Well, I think that have a healthy lifestyle it is possible if you want, it only depends on you. For me, a healthy lifestyle includes eat well and practice sports.

To carry out a good “diet” is important have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time every day, that is to say, to make a routine in the hours to eat food. Another important is to have a healthy feeding. This considers eat fruits and vegetables and not too much carbohydrate. It is obvious that you can eat “bad food” like Mc Donald’s or Doggis, but in a low quantity.
You don’t have to forget that a healthy feeding is synonyms of having a balanced diet!!

For continue the idea of have a healthy lifestyle, it’s time to talk about the sports. In a personal opinion I think that do sports is the best thing that you can do in the life. Sports make me happy and also are good for my health, is it something better? I haven’t more words to explain it… if you like a sport, make a time in your life and practice it (:

Having a healthy lifestyle is not only good for look and feel well with ourselves, but also is good to avoid diseases like diabetes, cardiac problems, obesity, etc.

The finish this post, I recommend you (and for all the people that are reading now) that you try (only try) to carry out a healthy lifestyle. It is better if you can do it ;)

See you in the next situation, have a nice week. Good bye.

PD: As a freak information, the number of hours that you sleep influences in the risk of having obesity.
