What is a typical day like for you during the week?

On a typical day during the week, I usually wake up at 6 in the morning and get up at 6:30. Immediately afterwards, I prepare my strong coffee and, as it is prepared, I take a bath. When I get out of the bathroom, I drink my coffee, get dressed and go to work. I usually go 40 minutes from my house to the university without traffic, but if there is traffic, it is 50 minutes or so. When I get to work, I almost always have classes from 10:30 to 1:30 with an hour break in which I have lunch. After my last class at 1:30 I go 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 going to bed at 10:00 pm.

Tell me in detail about a memorable trip 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 turning 40 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. As 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 to be able to 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 stopped but what I do remember is that I arrived in the city of Lisbon in the morning. At the airport, after clearing customs, my husband was waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers. It was great to see. 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 on the sea. There we spent three days enjoying the sea, Portuguese food and its delicious ice creams. I had the idea that the ice creams were famous in Italy, but after trying the ice creams 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 listened to fados and fadistas of all ages. It was a wonderful trip that I will never forget.

In your opinion, what aspects should be implemented in your society to promote better physical health? Why? What would be the consequences in the future if these aspects were not implemented?

There is a popular saying that says "Health is not in the plate, but in the shoe" One of the biggest problems worldwide is a sedentary lifestyle that leads to a serious health problem, which includes a high percentage of people obese A study carried out by The New England newspaper highlighted that the United States leads this problem with a population of 79 million obese people, more than China. Among the most prominent opinions it is said that this is due to the way in which the feeding is carried out. However, other positions state that, more than food, the problem is due to the lack of physical activity. Regarding the second opinion, it has been observed that the majority of the current population spends their time in an absolute sedentary lifestyle, reflected in the way in which people get to work, work and spend their time at home. In addition to this lack of physical development, it has also been verified 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 diminish this social evil. If television networks could contribute with advertising spaces of a social nature and promote physical activity as one of the preventive methods of human health, perhaps the rates of people with overweight would drop. This, in turn, would encourage people to be more aware of their activities and to 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 with this lack of awareness of the problem of being sedentary, the human being will lose not only his physical but also social, creative and cultural faculties. This would lead to a death rate of younger people; there would be a decrease in the population; the economy would suffer due to the lack of healthy personnel and, even if the pharmaceutical companies promoted their drugs as the answer to these problems, people would be immune and there would be no going back since one of the bases of human health is genetics and the new generations would be invaded by unhealthy genes. A saying already says "Medicine that cures everything, madness."
