Health (name......???)

In many internet pages or magazines you can find different definitions of health. But in my opinion it isn't possible to find a exact definition of health because there are so many facts involveld and I also think that for each person "health" means something different.
For me the main aspects to take into account for a healthy life are:a healthy diet, daily exercise and general welfare.

Daily exercise doesn't mean going to the gym every day and make the maximum exercise during a short period of time and then don't attend anymore. Part of the daily exercise is just going for a walk with the dog, sweep the garden or the daily chores.
But this isn't enough. It's also necessary to keep fit doing some sport in the evening or just jogging a bir everyday.

An healthy diet is also very important to have an healthy life. A healthy diet means a balanced diet and this includes to all type of food but not in excess.

HEALTH (Marina Amengual)

Hello! My name is Marina, I'm eighteen years old. I was born in Palma of Mallorca and at the moment I live in Calvià (Portals)

I like football, music(pop, rock etc...)My favourite singer is Chenoa and my favourite football team es R.C.D. Mallorca and I like dogs. I also think that yoga is the best way to relax.

I think health is very important in my life because I had four heart operations and consequently health is the most important thing in my life.

I really like fruit and vegetables when I was younger I used to swim.
I also like watching football on TV but I don't do any sport because of the problems I have with my heart.

I have a healthy diet and I eat lots of pasta and eggs, I like pizza but I eat fruit and vegetables too. My favourite fruit is the orange!

HEALTH (Raúl Sánchez)

My name is Raul Sanchez but some people call me "Rulo". I'm 17 years old, and the date of my birthday is 24th oof March. I was born in Valencia, but now i live in Mallorca with all my family. I've played football for 12 years, and it's my favourite sport. I haven't got a lot of hobbies but i like going out with my friends, I also like reading and going to the cinema.

Health for me is one of the most important things in life, because if aren't healthy your life can be miserable. I need health in my life to continue doing sport. To be healthy you need to do some sport, eat good food and some other important things, but the first is to be happy with your body.

I play football, but this isn't the only sport that I like, my second favourite sport is tennis, because when I was little I used to play it. I love watching tennis matches because they're so different from football!

I think I follow a healthy diet because in my family these things are taken very seriously. We usually eat fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and other important foods. Maybe I eat in fast-food restaurants once in a month because I don't like tehm much. I don't drink alcohol and don't smoke I think smoking is really bad for our health.

Jobs (Jose de Lacour)

My father is the director of the port of Valencia, and my mother studied at the law school but now she is unemployed.

I want to be like my father because he is a well known man and very hard working.

But I think that is really difficult because I´m very lazy to study. But, on the other hand I am sure that I will work really hard if I get a job I really like.

When I am older I would like to be like my father, I love him so much, all the people that work with him admire him and he is really important in his job.

I know that i have to work really hard to be like him one day but i will try hard!

JOBS (by Naika Mendívil)

My grandfather studied tourism and he had been the manager of different hotels and he had also worked in jobs which need that degree. His daughter, my mother, studied the same but she had worked in something that has a relation with her degree only for a few years.

In my opinion I am an extroverted person but depending on the ocasion I am a bit shy. I think I am very funny with my friends but serious when I have to be serious. I am sometimes too responsible, and it can become a defect. I can be untidy but clean. I am a good listener an I like to help people. I consider myself insecure but I try not to show it. I always need to have the situation "under control ".

Next year I would like to study journalism and criminology at any universitiy in Madrid or maybe in Barcelona. In the future I would like to work in a very important company investigating crimes or something similar or if I can't do that, I would do something as international journalism. I would travel around the world and I would help people in the developing countries.

Jobs (Alejandro Silvestre )

I'm going to write about my parents jobs

My mother is a lawyer and she works everyday.In my opinion it is a very complicated work. She had to study hard to be a professional.
My grandfather was a lawyer too, but unfortunately he died las year. My mother has five sisters and four of them are lawyers too.

My father is a hotel manager . He likes his job but he has to spend 3 days of a week in Madrid because the company is there.
For this reason my sister, my mother and I dont like his job because we never see him. Because of my father' s job we lived in Madrid 10 years ago and then we moved to Mallorca.
My grandfathe also worked in a big company and my two granmathers was housewives .They used to work at home.

Now, I'm going to write about myself. I think I am friendly, honest and healthy bacause I like doing sports.
But sometimes I can be sturborn and moody.

I enjoy playing football everyday and I would like to play football in the future.
I have played it since I was five. I would like to became a football player.
I also want to study journalism in Valencia or Madrid.
One day I would like to make my own football TV program!

Health (Alba Carrasco)

If you want to feel good, your health has to be good.That is posible with a balanced diet, and doing some physical activity.
I don't watch my weight but I have to lose weight .I followed a diet 2 years ago. I lost weight and appetite.This isn't good because we need to eat but with healthy food .
Lots of people do not usually eat nutritius food because they like fast food.
And fast food is bad for us because this food has lots of choresterol , sugar...and we can gain weight.
So we have to do sports and avoid smoking.
Young people don't usually watch their weight and when they are older they have a poor health .Then they start having a balanced diet.
So we should have a good nutritious diet since we are little.
In conclusion,you should eat healthy food if you want to have a good life.

Jobs (Bruno Larruscain)

A HARD WORKING YOUNG MAN

First of all, my grandparents are retired but before they used to work at a petrol station. This is a family business but I do not want to work there because I want to be independent.
First of all I want to finish 2nd Batxillerat and then start a "cicle formatiu" in electricity. I want a good job as an electrician to make money and to buy a house.

I would also like to work as a firefighter because firefighters have many days off. Firefightrs are brave people who put out fires and rescue people and animals. Firefighters work one day and thena rest three days and their salary is two thousand euros.
I think I am optimist, open minded, sincere, frank, versatile and brave but I can also be tactless, careless, and restless. This is the dark side of my personality.

To sum up, I hope to have lots of money, a healthy life, a girlfriend who loves me and a good retirement plan.

"Coca d'auberginis" every Saturday

I invented "Coca d'auberginis" last year and since then , Ana, my daughter, wants me to prepare it every Saturday for lunch.
It is an adaptation of a very sophisticated Greek recipe, which was much more complicated.

I hope you like it! Enjoy your meal! Bon profit!


Ingredients
A medium aubergine (egg plant in US)
A big leek (or two small ones)
15o gr. of walnuts
Shortbread pastry (Masa quebrada from Mercadona)
Salt, cumin, pepper and nutmeg

Chop the leeks and the aubergines finely (in tiny dice) and fry them in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes. They are seasoned with salt, nutmeg, pepper and lots of cumin. Chop the walnuts finely with a knife (media luna), take the frying pan off the heat and add the walnuts to the leeks+aubergines. Stir and mix.

Switch on the oven and bake the pastry for 5-10 minutes. When it is half done take it out from the oven and cover it with the ingredients you have just cooked. Bake it again for 5-10 minutes and enjoy your meal!

(I think the secret of this "coca" is the cumin, which gives its mediterranean flavour and the walnuts, which give some "crunchiness" to the coca...)

Crunchy, munchy and mmmmm................

Health, (Bruno Larruskain )

Nowadays, obesity is a big problem in today´s society due to the capitalism and to the new fast food industries .This produces an unhealthy life in a big part of the world, but also, there are some steps to consider refering to a healthy life.

I am going to write about what you need to have a healthy life:
From my point of view, sports are important because they help you to have a completed life and , of course, they are good for your body and for your mind too.
Another important aspect to considerer is the type of diet that we follow, and the different nutrients that are good for our body, and, on the other hand the nutrients that produce illness or that help you to keep a balance. It´s clear that the mediterranean diet is the best because it contains a variety of food nutrients and also tastes very good.

I don´t want to write about drinking or smoking ( or cosuming another type of drugs ), but it´s clear that everyone knows about the existence of drugs .I only want to say that with a balance you can enjoy your free time.
Finally to sum up, good nutrition , sports and spare time are important to be a healthy person.

Chinese acupuncture

If I were a doctor I would like to study Chinese acupuncture. I have been into Taichi for a long time and I discovered the five element theory through one of my teachers, Tew Bunnag. I found it really interesting!

Click on these words and have a look at the chart of correspondences

I have always liked sour tastes, I love vinegar, and I think this has a connection with the liver. Chinese medicine says that you can become ill due to lack of energy or due to an excess of energy...
If you don't have enough energy in one of the five organs, than you are attracted to the corresponding taste... I love vinegar because I think I need more energy for my liver...

There is a wonderful film by Zhang Yimou called "Hero" I think it is based on the five elements theory ( five seasons, five colours, five organs and so on...) I love the film!

Drinking and driving, no thanks

A few days ago I had to write a few slogans for the Comenius project "Drinking and driving, no thanks"

Health (Magdalena Puigserver)

My name is Magdalena but everybody calls me ''Bebi''. I'm seventeen years old, my birthday is on 14th of August. I was born in s'Arracó. I've got a lot of hobbies. I love cinema, specially classic cinema, I love animals, horse riding, music (specially JAZZ, soul and blues) art, travelling, nature, adventures...

Heath is important for me, but I don't know if I'm a healthy person because I'm healthy in some seasons and unhealthy in others. For example, in winter I'm a healthy person because I eat healthy food, I sleep the necessary hours and I do sports of course, without counting the weekends...In summer I'm an unhealthy person, because all the days are weekends. I don't sleep many hours, I don't do any sports, I go to a lot of parties...and I sunbathe too much.

But in conclusion I think I'm a healthy person although I have some bad habits, but I know where the limit is! I've always done sports, like basketball, horse ridding, gymnatics, running...

And I think I have a balanced diet.

I think I eat better now than when I was younger.

Every winter I go to the gym, but this one I prefer to go to dancing classes, I want to change because I think its funnier and nicer, I hope dancing will be a good activity to keep fit.

I have a healthy diet because I go to a dietician who teaches me food habits. Now I eat all kinds of food, with measure and alternation. Thanks to this doctor now I love vegetables. ( Before I hated them!!)

I can't stand fast food restaurants, I eat there once a year.

To finish up I will show you a photo of myself participating in a competition:

Health (AINA FABIANO)

My name is Aina,I'm seventeen years old and I was born in Palma. I like dancing, going out with my friends, playing tennis..
To bebin with, I'm going to write about the importance of health in my life; it is indispensable to live and to be happy. It depends on several things: have a balanced diet ( the necessary vitamins and proteins that the body needs), and play a sport or exercise at least three days a week.

Smoking and drinking would be two factors that wouldn't help to have a good and healthy life.
I don't do any sport, but in the evening, sometimes, I go running with my mother or I go to the gym when I have free time.I like to play sports instead of watching them on television.

Normally I have four meals a day.For breakfast I have some toasts and a glass of milk; for lunch any type of pasta,fish or meat; in the evening I have some fruit and some cookies and for dinner something light, as a yoghurt or a salad.
If I have to go a restaurant, I don't choose a fast food restaurant , but when I go out with my friends for a meal we always go to fast food restaurants because they're cheaper an the food isn't bad.
I think that vegetarian people don't have a healthy diet because most of them don't eat anything which has to do with animals, as meats or eggs, and in my opinion this food is necessary for us, and if we don't eat proteins we could have some illnesses.

In conclusion, to be healthy, you need to eat good food, play sports and avoid smoking.

HEALTH (by Naika Mendívil)

To start I want to introduce myself. My name is Naika, I am seventeen years old and I was born on 20th of January in Palma de Mallorca.

I’ve got a lot of hobbies as reading, dancing or meeting friends but what I like the most is going to drink a hot chocolate in a rainy day. I think I am on the age of doing that whenever I want because in a few years I will have to control strictly what eat.

From my point if view, health is one of the most important things in the life of a person. I think that healthy eating and daily exercise are very important to keep fit and to have a good health.

I believe that following a varied diet is necessary because according to the experts on nourishment every type of food from the nourishment pyramid brings something different to our organism. For example: bread and pasta are carbohydrates which help us to be more energetic, fruit and vegetables have vitamins and fibre which helps us to digest better the food and so on.

In my opinion doing exercise every day is necessary too to have good health. Doing a sport frequently or running half an hour every day is a good way of keeping fit. But it exists the other face of the coin, when I say that I am referring to that people who are obsessed with practising sport. I think that is as unhealthy doing too much sport as not doing it at all.

In conclusion, for me, health is a mix of different of things: daily exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, positive thinking, etc.
We only have one body and it is for all our life so we must take care of it.

Health ( Isabel Mendoza)

My name is Isabel and I'm seventeen years old. My birthday is on 21st of April. I live in Palma with my mum, my sister and my brother.

I like doing sports, I used to swim and ride a horse, but now I haven't got time to do any sports, because I have to study a lot.

Now I will tell you about my health, because health is the most inportant thing in my life, it is inportant to be healthy in order to realize all the goals that we propose in our lives. To be healthy you have to look after yourself without bad influences, because it's your life and it must be taken seriously.

Now, I don't do any sports, but I have always practised sports, although I haven't got time now, but a few years ago, I used to go swimming lessons for five years, four hours per day, I practised synchronized swimming, and I loved it, but a new sport appeared in my life, horse riding, I rode five years. These are the two most inportant sports in my life.

I eat healthy food, because at home we don't eat any junk food. At home we eat a bit of everything although we eat more vegetables than meat.

I don't often eat at fast food restaurants. Only, occasionally when I go out with my friends, because they're cheaper than other restaurants!

Sometimes I drink, when I go to a party or to the disco, but I don't smoke.

Today, we live in a society where teenagers tend easily to adopt unhealthy habits (smoking, drinking, drugs...). which spoil our health a lot.

The main reason why teens engage in sports is not for the pleasure it brings, or the fact of it being beneficial to their health, the youth of today that practises physical exercise, does it because of competitivety and in most cases, with the goals of being a figure in sports, and earn a lots of money.

A solution for young people in order to avoid alcohol, drugs... is to establish healthy habits in children, such as physical activity.
