protect your digestion

There are various ways to protect one's digestive system. The best way to have a healthy one is by preventing plumping problems. This can be done by eating a lot of fiber in foods such as bananas and cereal and other things. There are also yogurts and pills to regulate digestion. Another way to protect it is by avoiding eating foods that clog up the digestive system.

protect yourself from diseases

There are some ways to protect yourself from infectious diseases. First of all you can get yourself vaccinated so that your body is familiar with certain antigens. Other things you can do to prevent getting a disease is being safe by wearing condoms during sexual activities and not sharing needles. Be healthy by being safe.

allergies

From what I learned in class, an allergy is an abnormal reaction to a previously introduced allergen in the body by inhalation, ingestion, injection or skin contact. These allergies usually cause irritation of eyes, nose, or skin. Some allergies are dangerous enough to cause death but most allergies are curable with medicine.

"THE COMING PLAGUE"

The movie was pretty disturbing but I think what worried me most about the movie was the fact that some diseases are re-emerging. Just when you think you've defeated a disease such as cancer it can come back. Some diseases don't even have a cure such as HIV and AIDS.

3 ways breathing rates can change

There are many ways that your breathing rate can change, physiologically. There are such disorders that change a person's breathing rate such as sleep apnea. This is an abnormality in one's breathing during sleep which can be caused by obesity. This type of change in a breathing rate is dangerous because it can cause sudden death. Another way a person's breathing rate can change is through hypernea. As a person does hard physical activity, their breathing rate gets deeper because of lack of oxygen. The third way is through apnea. This is when a person chokes and this causes an imbalance in a person's breathing rate.

cardiovascular system

The cardiovascular system is a very interesting system and major part of the body. This is the system that helps us breathe and regulates blood and oxygen in our blood. This system consists of the pulmonary circulation and coronary circulation. I think it is fascinating how this system removes waste and helps our body maintain homeostasis or balance. If it were not for this system, waste would build up in our bodies. I'm still a little confused about the direction of each circulation but I know it flows throughout the whole body.

My Diet Plan

So far my diet plan is going okay. I haven't made any really big progress in losing weight. My weight is staying constant which means I am maintaining the weight i started out with. I have been eating according to my diet plan but have not been following up so well on the exercise part at home.  So I'm going to do the exercises more and keep track of my progress.  I go to the gym about once a week and i do toning exercises as well as the step-abs class though so I hope that will make up for my lack of consistency with the sit-ups I'm supposed to do at home.
