Hobbies

Lecture World.

Since I was 7 years old, I discovered my two hobbies that until this day continue fulling my heart. They are reading, and Rhythmic Gymnastic. 

Reading it's wonderful. I love how you can experiment a universe full of adventures where you are the protagonist. You can imagine and live in new worlds, you can be one day a crazy pirate, and another you can be the president of united states. You can live and learn of many experiences, you can find yourself reading, just following letter by letter with your eyes and imagining that it's your feelings and your suffering. There is no more beautiful way to grow up, than reading books.

Me the last month on a Rhythmic presentation.

On the other hand, Rhythmic Gymnastic it's a sport that requires perseverance and learn to work in group. It's a difficult sport that combines music, colour, dance and flexibility. Also its an anaerobic sport so you have to train hard yourself to use your breath system the best way possible to put the best of you on the scene just in 90 or 150 seconds. In this sport you are evaluated by judges.

They both are important to me, because they have helped me to grow up and maturate. They are important in my personal stability because remains me all what I am. Make an sport give me friends, experiences, but more important of that, gave me values. As the same way I learn values with the protagonist and experiences of the books, so I can say that this 2 hobbies make me the girl that today I am.

When I was a Child I had this two hobbies, but also, I used to dance and act. In fact, when I was a child I used to register myself in all off the extra activities that my school had. I was a really active girl.

To me hobbies represent a way to express and liberate yourself. It's the best way to forget the bad things that can be on your life, and full your heart with new energies to keep going. 

But as the same way that I have favourite hobbies, I have one that I could never do, and that it's play football. I really don't like that sport, not because of the rules, but because of the people who play it, and they egos. On this country people gives more importance to football players than the real problems that this society has, It's like football where the most important thing, and the other things can wait. I really don't get it and gets me mad.

Drawing tools.

On the future I would like to continue a hobby that I started but put on pause for years, as its drawing. I wasn't really good, but wasn't bad neither. Drawing used to relax me and I really liked it. Also my sister has an artist side, so drawing has always called my attention. 

Hobbies are an important part of all of us, and if it wasn't for them, we probably hadn't live a lot of experiences and hadn't make a lot of friends that shares the same hobbies like us. All the child should have a lot of hobbies and find by them selves they favourites without a parent pressure. 

Pd: here goes a link video to see a group presentation of my school on 2014. We win the second place. I'm the one who has 2 hoops at the beginning. Enjoy it from 2.00.57 to 2.04.20 :) Juegos Nacionales Maristas 2014

Immune System

I don't know why, but when I was a Child I was the healthiest girl in the school. I was never sick, and I hatted those kids whose lost classes because they where cooled. I wanted to do it too, but I never could miss school.

But something weird happened when I turned 18... I started to get sick every week. My last year of school I miss a lot of classes because of it. And now I have been sick this year about 7 times. It's like I can never recover from colds, It's like my normal state it's being sick.

That's why Immune System is so amazing to me.

This system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. It is localized on all our body and all of the cells that make up it habit different organs lymphoid. The size of it it's uncountable because it uses the blood to travel across all of our organs and detect illness, and because there are a lot of differentiated cells that works together for this system.
Every sickness start with pain, that means that immune system it's working and protecting you. Fever, for example, it's a reaction of the immune system to put microorganism that shouldn't be on your body, in a habitat that it's difficult to them to live, so they are more "stupids" and immune system it's more available to attack and kill them.
But sometimes, immune system loose the battle and microorganisms seize of your body. That's when you must to visit to your doctor.

There are some illness that attack directly this system, as leukemia and HIV. 

HIV, it's the most complicated one, because it has no cure and because you can be with this virus attacking your system a lot of years without noting it . If you want to learn more about this illness click here.

To keep your system healthy you must to follow this 4 simple instructions.

1. Promote a healthy body (make some exercise, take sun, sleep 7-8 hours per day and avoid consumption of cigarettes, alcohol and caffeine).
2. Promote a healthy mind (avoid the stress, laugh a lot, spend time with your friends and get a pet).
3. Improve your eating habits (drink a lot of water, avoid sugar, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and improve your consume of garlic and proteins).
4. Finally use dietary supplements (such as probiotics and multivitamins). 

I hope that you follow these instructions, probably I will start to follow them soon, because now, i'm with a cold that is killing me! :(
