Maintaing health by exercising

Staying healthy and maintaining your health is a great way to live your life. I have always known to be on the heavy side as far as my weight stating that I was a ten-pound newborn baby ha-ha. So all my life growing up I was a pretty big kid I have learned that excising have played a big role in my life. Regular physical activity is important for good health, and it’s very important if you’re trying to loose weight or to maintain a healthy weight.

Although, most people think of physical excise as a way to loose weight., it also helps reduce high blood pressure, reduce risk of type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke, arthritis pain, associated disabilities and different cancers. It also helps reduce the risk for osteoporosis and falls. Excising could help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety attacks.

When people think of exercise they picture someone being in the gym 24/7 and never having a life outside of the gym but its not that time consuming at all. All you need is around 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity and 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week. You could also do an equivalent mix of the two each week. The way to establish the difference between moderate and vigorous activity is when your heart rate and your breathing is noticeably faster but can still carry on a conversation that is considered moderate. Examples may include walking briskly, light yard work, and light snow shoveling. When your heart rate is increased substantially and you are breathing too hard and fast to have a conversation, its probably vigorous intense. Examples may include jogging/running, swimming laps, and jumping rope.

What impact does social media have on high school students?

Social media usage has increased in recent years across all age levels. The Pew internet and American Life Project found that 73 percent of teenagers between the ages of 12 to 17 use social media. Social media supports collaborative learning, which in turn helps to strengthen the creative learning process. Social media is a great tool as far as introducing kids to the newest technology. Although, technology is a great tool, when used independently it does not necessarily contribute to learning. They found that students who take notes by hand achieve higher test scores when compared to students who use laptops to take his or her notes. Additionally, prior computer knowledge plays a factor in a student's learning through online methods of instruction. However, the internet can provide a healthy environment for hosting the educational and learning activities for students. Students who participate in social media as part of a class fell more connected to their peers than those students who do not participate in social media.
