What is a typical day like for you during the week?
On a typical day during the week, I usually wake up at 6 a.m. and get up at 6:30. Immediately afterwards, I prepare my coffee well loaded and, in what is prepared, take a bath. When I leave the bathroom, I drink my coffee, get dressed and go to work. I usually do 40 minutes from my house to college without traffic but, if there's traffic, it's 50 minutes or so. When I get to work, I almost always have classes from 10:30 to 1:30 with an hour's rest in which I eat. After my last class at 1:30 I return home and typically do chores. When I'm done, I take a 30-minute nap, and when I wake up, I make dinner. I usually end up lying down at 10:00 p.m.
Tell me in detail a memorable journey of your life. Where did it go, what happened, who did it go with and why was it memorable?
A memorable trip was the first time I traveled to Portugal. I was 40 years old and my husband (who worked in Cape Verde) decided to surprise me by giving me a trip to the city of Lisbon for a week. Since it was a surprise trip abroad I didn't have my passport so I had to go to the city of San Francisco and spend a whole day processing it so I could travel right away. It wasn't fun at all, but it was worth doing. Two days later I left the city of San Francisco for Lisbon. I don't remember where I made a stopover, but what I do remember is that I arrived in the city of Lisbon in the morning. At the airport, after passing customs, my husband was waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers. It was great to see you. That day, after leaving our bags at the hotel, we went to Alfama, a small neighborhood where there are several restaurants that have Fado shows. I had never heard that music and the experience was unique. The next day we traveled by train to Cascais, a city at sea. There we spent three days enjoying the sea, Portuguese food and its rich ice creams. I had the idea that ice creams were famous in Italy, but after trying the ice cream in Cascais I have no doubt that they were the best. After three days in that place we returned to Lisbon to spend the last night. That day we toured 5 singing cafes where we heard Fados and fadists of all ages. It was a wonderful journey I'll never forget.
In your opinion, what aspects should be implemented is your society to promote better physical health? Why? What would be the future consequences if these aspects were not implemented?
There is a popular saying that says "Health is not on the plate, but in the shoe" One of the biggest problems in the world is the sedentary lifestyle that leads to a serious health problem, which includes a high percentage of obese people. A study by The New England highlighted that the United States is spearheading this problem with a population of 79 million obese people, more than China. Among the most prominent opinions is said that this is due to the way the feeding is carried out. However, other positions state that, without food, the problem is due to lack of physical activity. As for the second opinion, it has been observed that the majority of today's population spends their time in absolute sedentary lifestyle, reflected in the way people are transported to work, work and spend their time at home. Coupled with this lack of physical development, it has also been shown that this sedentary lifestyle is supported by the media and technology that, instead of promoting physical activity, enhances and emphasizes the production of drugs as a viable solution to health problems (such as cholesterol, constipation and, above all, obesity.) The lack of advertising support in American society could further undermine this social evil. If television networks could contribute social advertising spaces and promote physical activity as one of the preventive methods of human health, perhaps the rates of overweight people would drop. This, in turn, would encourage people to be more alert to their activities and become aware of the way they use their time. In turn, this would lead the population to have a more social and diverse life that would promote positive development between communities as there would be greater communication and physical coexistence between people.
If we continue this lack of awareness of the problem of being sedentary, human beings will lose not only their physical faculties but also sociable, creative and cultural. This would lead to a death rate of younger people; there would be a decline in the population; the economy would suffer due to a lack of healthy staff and, even if pharmaceutical companies promoted their drugs as the answer to these problems, people would be immune and there would be no turning back as one of the foundations of human health is genetic and the new generations would be overrun by sick genes. It's already said by a saying, "Medicine that cures everything, madness."
