My blogger for Health class

With my son :]

Our elders - My Grandpa

I sat down with my grandfather who is 89 years old. Asked him about his life. He talked about the world war 2 and about the great depression. He talked about his marriage and his life with six children with seven grandchildren. It made him happy and sad to talk about his life. I know he enjoyed telling me about his life and spending quality time with me. He always tell me that I'm his special granddaughter and make a huge difference in this life. also to tell you all the truth he makes a difference in mine as well!

Kids off drugs

I have a four year old son. I cant imagine when that age time comes around when I have to talk to my son about drugs. I believe that as a parent I can control this by being close to my son and talk to him about real life and drugs. I know this because I am not perfect, but I have been there and done that. I want so much differently for my son. I will just be involved with his life and to keep him busy with sports or whatever that is good for him in his life to come.

The Marriage Experts in this life time

When I talked to a marriage expert that was married for 66 years! When I ask them what a marriage challenges where for them and there answer was the in law family issues. They resolved this by dealing with the family as best as they could but at the same time they moved across the United States to make there own family. They both said that they ignored the family drama as much as passable. When I asked them for advise for a successful healthy marriage they said it takes two to love each other and be there for one another. Its hard to find that kind of love these days. I think it has to do with the society we live in today and how we treat one another.

Phychological Health

I now someone very close to me with a bipolar disorder. Its my mother. The description of this disorder is different moods and takes things differently then others. The first symptoms happen through out your life. Although when my mother and family realized she had it was when she was having trouble with her emotions and what she was saying. The diagnosis was easy for her the put her on medicine and helps her with all of this. She has came a long way.  My mother still deals with troubles with it today. I believe that it could of been prevented for my mother from what has happened to her in past of childhood to young adulthood. My mother was and is affected by this in her life by not having a normal working life she is on government help and does not live a normal working life. She is working on herself to get better as much as she can. She is a good mother and I am happy shes my mother it makes her special.

A Stress Reduction

A good stress reduction technique to try out is yoga. Yoga is a relaxing exercise that you can do. It involves soft music and starching of the body. I recently went to the YMCA and did a yoga class. After I took the class I felt good physically. I felt really relaxed and not worried about anything. I knew mentally I was going home for getting myself and my family ready for bed. I believe that this technique will reduce stress on a regular bases. I would definitely do the Yoga class again and you should try it.

where our food comes from

This film made me think what I was eatting and what I feed my family.  I have diffentaly changed a few eatting habits. This movie flick was sad and gross to me. I learned what is healthy and what is not. I know look up what fruit and veggie is in season. when I buy meat I look for the higher price now rather than the cheaper. I was not to socked or suprised on this film. We have to many people in this world to the point I try not to think about where our food is made. Now that know where our food is being made and produced I think differently about what I am eatting along with what is in it.
