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.

Best memory of my childhood :D

Hi classmates! How are you? So long time that I haven`t written here!
Well, today I will talk about my best memory of my childhood. It’s very difficult to choose only one because I remember many histories of when I was a little girl. However, after thinking about all my memories, I decide to tell you about my trip to Disney.
To started, I have to mention that I don’t remember the year of the trip, I think that was in 2002 or 2003. Well, I travel with my father and my brother Rodrigo; that was the first time that my brother and I left Chile.
The first disadvantage was that we weren´t able to find the hotel. After 2 hours of search, we could find it and our happiness was maximum. The next day the adventure began: the first park that we visited was “Magic Kingdom”. In this park we took photos with all the personages from Disney and saw shows that these same ones did.
On the following day, we visited another called park "MGM". This park is characterized to have big dippers. Unique the bad thing: There were too much people and because of that, the time that we have to wait for the games was too much.
The following days, we continued crossing the parks that were in Disney. But as everything in the life has its final, this time was not the exception.
I hope I could repeat the trip some day because the experience was incredible.
Enjoy reading my history, see you in the next time, bye bye :)

My school classmates (L)

Hello new classmates! Long time that I haven’t written on my blog :O
For first time, we have to write about a free subject. I decide to talk about my school classmates.
Since the day I arrived to my school (2005), it started to be written one of the most beautiful stories of my life. I think that I lived incredible moments with my ex-classmates, many of them will be unforgettable. They transform into my second family because I spent so much time with them: sometimes studying, sometimes talking and others going out to different places.
In order to remember some of the activities that we lived together I can mention: our first study trip, it consisted on going to the south of Chile because we won the TV show program called “The last passenger”. Our second study trip was going to Camboriu, Brasil. Another place that we went together was Reñaca because one of my classmates has an apartment in that city.
My prom party was the most recent activity that I lived with them. It was a spectacular night where I could take advantage of my last moments with my classmates. If you want to know how the party was, you can see it on TV, because that night is going to appear on a new program called “the house by the window”.
Well, there are so many memories with them, it’s impossible to me summarize them in so few words, but I think that I told you some of our experience together.
See you on the next blog, enjoying reading my comment (:
Bye bye

Bye bye blog ;)

Helloooooo!
Today is the last post that I have to do this term :O !!
I think that not write post every week will be so extraneous because I got used to writing comments on my blog every Wednesday but sincerely I won’t miss it.

I have to admit that in some opportunities, do my blog was very funny because I have to think about some topics that are interesting to remember and other topics that are interesting to share it with my classmates.
But like in the life isn’t all good, sometimes I really hate writing on my blog because in that moment I didn’t want to do it and I didn’t have too much time for that, I had to do things more important than writing a comment on my blog. However, I realized all the post despite of having laziness.

In my opinion, I think that this moment was useful for me for learn and perfect my English. Doing blogs really help me improve my English.

I hope that in the second term the blog can be done in our houses, because is unnecessary came here to write about a topic, its takes too much time. This is the only suggestion I can do.

Well classmates, that’s all! See you in the next time.
Enjoy your holidays because the second term will be hard.
Kisses (:

My ideal job :D

Hi guys! Today is another day to write about something. I have to tell you that this is the penultimate post, it’s too fast how the time pass :/

Now, I’m going to tell you about how I want my future. My main dream is work in something related with football but I don’t know if it might be possible because the female football in Chile isn’t so well known and there aren’t many opportunities for work in that.

If that dream can’t be possible, I will dedicate to the area of sport physical therapy so I want to work on MEDS (in Spanish it means “medicina-ejercicio-deporte-salud”), it’s a sportsmen's center of high performance. In this place I will have to help sport patients to rehabilitee of his/her injury, for example: I will be the physical therapist of Alexis Sanchez when he fractured his ankle and I will give exercises to him to recovering his normal function of the ankle (I think that I’m dreaming a lot but that’s is the task or not?).

Talking about working hours, logically I hope have a relaxed schedule because I want to do more thing besides work, like do sports and go to hospitals to visit and entertain children that have problems.

I don’t have more imagination for think about how I want my future. The only thing that I can say to you is that I will do my best effort for doing well my work because this is what I like and what I want to do in the rest of my life.

Enjoy reading my comment :)
Good bye! :P

Chile wins Honduras :D

Hello people! How are you? I hope fine. Now I have to talk about missions of my career.

The mission of the physical therapist mainly is to motivate people to practices sports because they are a good method that helps to be healthy. The way for do that is to stimulate families to do physical exercises in group perhaps going to a park, go to run every evening near their house or just playing at home, even playing Wii console. Another mission is to promote a good feeding without junk food.

The missions that I mentioned above are in general. Now, I’m going to talk about the specific functions of my career.

In patients that are recovering their normal mobility or their normal force, physical therapist have to help them in their rehabilitation and stimulate patients for do the exercises in the best form they are able. However, in sportsmen or woman of high performance, besides help them, they have to talk with them and tell that they can’t play sports until their rehabilitee ends. Physical therapist has to convince patients that they are damage themselves if he/she starts practicing before the discharge.
Talking about physical therapist that works with child, they have to the exercises in an entertainment way so that little boys and girls think that they are playing and not doing rehabilitation.

There are many missions more, but I don’t have time to mention all.
Have a good week end, see you next Wednesday
Byeeee!
