Stress!!!

Hello verybody! Today my post is about STRESS, it is the disease more prevalent in the last time.

Mean of stress is: "Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Signs of Stress; mental symptoms include: tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, feeling excessively tired and you have trouble sleeping. Physical symptoms include: dry mouth, a pounding heart, difficulting breathing, stomach upset, frequent urination sweating palms and tight muscles (it cause pain and trembling)". (available in this link: http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/stress/STR_whatis.html).

I think that all stress` consequences are umpleasant for people, because it affects the relation with other persons and you can generate dislikes. Furthermore should be considered biological consequences: chronic fatigue, digestive upsets, headaches, back pain, affect inmune cells (it can increase the risk to get more infections and other diseases), increase blood pressure (rise the risk for stroke), lead to diminished sexual desire and an inability to achieve orgasm, etc. But we can not forget that stressful lifestyle can increase probability to incorporate bad habits such as smoking, drinking, overeating and drog abuse. The bad habits topic is important, because I think most people believe that it is the output only for their problems, but really this things can relax for a short time.

I think the BEST solutions to decrease stress are change their lifestyles and search way to solve things that affect you; for example you can do more sports, go out with your friends, go to the cine, eat more healthy such as eat more fruits, vegetables, drink more water, etc.

In my personal experience I think that I felt stress sometimes, especially since that enter to university, but it is more difficult solve because you must do a lot of things such us: study, doing works, prepare workshops and the most important you must try sleep in your free time.

hope you enjoy my post, see you in class!!

Article: Obesity crisis 'cannot be solved by exercise alone'

Hello everybody! Today my post is about an article related with exercise and Obesity.

The mainly theme is that Obesity can not reduce only doing exercise, because if the overweight people eat less calories, they can obtain better results.
The reasons to think the exercise is not a good methods are:

First: The people in general have little time to spare, and in obese people the amount of time that they must dedicate for this activity is high.

Second: If obese person have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35, can to achieve a healthy weight (BMI of 22) decreasing their calories intake by one third. If they wanted to achieve the same effects with exercise, would be equivalent to do 5 hours exercise for several weeks; it is very difficult.

Third: Sedentary life is not the problem to rise obesity leves, because exercise has remained the same for at least the past 25 years. For example: since 1985 the typical man in Britain has burned off 1380 calories a day through exercise, so the rise to obesity is more related with population intake high-calorie food.

Finally, the author says that promove physical activity is a good idea, but it is not the solution to decrease obesity rates. He think that the most effective way to weight loss is through healthy eating and diets.

I am not totally agree with the author of this article, because I think that the most effective to weight loss, is combine the exercise with a diet reduce in calories. It not mean obese person only can eat vegetables, fruit and drink water; but they can eat all thing in less quantities. Furthermore the exercise contributes to physical and psychologicaL wellness.
