Blog # 3

Overall I have remained pretty active throughout my life so I would say that my preventive practices are pretty good. I played tennis in high school and have continued to work out and try to eat fruits and vegetables. Cutting down on sugar and salt is something that I need to work on. I think that I should do more cardio when I go to the gym to burn more calories.
We can start at a young age teaching children the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Encourage sports and other activities that will benefit overall wellness. Try to make it fun for the kids but at the same time informative. I personally believe that it is the parent’s responsibility to teach their children how to eat healthy and be active. A lot of young people just sit in front of computers all day.

I read an article from the World Health Organization (WHO) website about the challenges that women face around the world getting proper care and treatment. I am glad that I live in America. Things are not perfect but I have been to other countries and things could be much worst. Women’s healthcare in this country is pretty great compared to some of these very poor countries. It makes you feel bad for those less fortunate but also blessed to live somewhere where you can get what you need as a woman.
