Work and explosions

System speed forces us to run faster than it and gradually our body is affected. Our organism (like other living beings) is prepared to respond to the environment. But when this stimulus is excessive and sustained, these are adaptive-type responds. These stress reactions include angry, depression and anxiety.

In the anxiety, (the commonest clinical manifestation) is possible distinguish three levels of symptoms. In the subjective-cognitive level, we can find worry, insecurity, fear of loss of control or that other are aware of our difficulties, trouble deciding, negative thoughts about oneself and poor concentration. Then, at physiological level, the effects are widespread: sweating, muscle tension, palpitations and tachycardia, trembling, stomachache, nausea, headache. Finally, at motor level, common alterations are: stutter, tics, cry or smoke, drink or eat in excess.

It is a reality and probably, someday one of us will have stress. But, there are precautions and advices that we can take and those covers all areas of daily living.

Eat and work is a bad combination, mealtimes must to be rest or family times. Sometimes we have a lot of job and the time that we could assign to do our tasks are not sufficient and we eating and working at the same time, causing inconvenience to short and long time.

Take a time!... for you, family or friends. Do your task is good, but that your life a work, it’s not so good. Do exercise; take your car and getaway to your favorite place. Organize you. Relax and relax people (but don’t fall sleep, you must live).

Healthy behavior...healthy life

The other day walking hungry for the streets I saw many offers, but none of those convinced me, because I was looking for healthy food, something like home-made food. there are places where you can find it, but there are in specific places difficult find. Today is easy fall in risk factors because there are around us, tempting us. I think that a healthy lifestyle is determinated by the diet, physical activity and the way of looking at life.

Have an healthy life it isn't necessary be a professional sportmen (o sportwoman) or eat lettuce everyday. Unless it is required.

We can eat potato chips, candies, hot dogs, etc of ñams ñams. but is important eat that food in less amount weekly or monthly. Because those are risk factors of obesity, cardiovascular accidents and diabetes. Although are delicious, it is best stay away from them.

The clothes are important too. “happy colors” makes happy people. I think clothes represent feelings and people’s mood, so they must wear comfortable and bright colors. So, it’s a good idea throw away black clothes.

Smile, smile and smile. Be positive about problems. no matter the problem, no matter the size of the problem. Laugh a lot for everything (obviously be respectful if that affect to somebody). That point of view it’s a good way to have a healthy life style, this aspect is not the essential, but it is a good start.

There other ways, some are personals. But the important thing is to feel good about yourself.

Beach now please!

Hi again, today I’ll talk to you about my favorite get-away. When I have to travel to some place, I don’t have a favorite destination, because I like go to different places and know all that I can. but, when I talk of escape from Santiago the most of the time I go to Cartagena, where my grandmother’s house. I like go there because it is near of Santiago (one hour and a half of my house) and there I have many beach to choose, like El Quisco, Algarrobo, El Tabo y las Cruces. The least is my favorite wave to do bodyboarding, so I usually visit that beach.

My grandmother’s house it´s a good place to relax, because in winter or summer is very quiet. But, it has the problem that is too quiet and relaxing in winter, so to go with friend or alone, is a little boring if you don’t enjoy of play in the beach. Well, always it is possible do something to amuse a lot.

I only like that place for the nearing with Santiago, but really, there are few places to interesting to visit and could be a little routine and It’s not a place to pass your vacations.

This weekend I’ll go to there for my September holiday, and I will do things that I never o only sometimes can’t do in Santiago.

See you the next time

Music and me... coming back

Music is very important in my life, because it brings to my mind so many memories of my past, such as people or places.

I love to listen rock music because i think it helps me to relax and represent my feelings, and also because y can feel free singing and dancing them anytime, anywhere.

My father was the one that introduce this type of music in my life, he has always been a great fan of it, and since i was little I felt awesome sharing and rocking with him.

Recently a friend of mine introduce me a type of music i didn't know much, it's called R&B, and nowadays i enjoy listening to it, especially when i wanna relax or study because of its beat, its rythm and the singers voice, such as usher, ne-yo or rihanna.

When im sad i like to listen to jamiroquai or lenny kravitz, they are great singers and i really enjoy their songs and lyrics, sometimes they really make my day!

I'd like to tell you that i love music and i feel it's part of my life, and it'll always be, it represent my feelings, my thoughts, sometimes turn me on in parties, or just help me to relax and have a nice trip to home in the metro. Hope you enjoy and listen to my music, see ya next week!

Final and pass to another stage! (maybe)

At one month of finish the semester some courses comes to the end. Final exams are soon to come (and the nerves too). But, today I don’t like talk you about stress and all that tense ambient of the last days.
I want to write about my pre-intermediate English class, specifically of my blogging experience.

I liked the experience of practice my English trough blog platform, because it permits think in English about different areas of the professional and colloquial communication. That is good, because in the future we will talk with all kind of persons. Also, write about our likes is a entertaining way of improve.

Personally I improve my English taking aware about my redaction, vocabulary and orthography fault and correct it. Even though that personal work and reflexion, I think that is necessary the feedback from someone expert in the English speaking, because there are aspects that the students could not manage and the blogging experience couldn’t be as profitable as it should be.
So, for future class I think that it should be the instances for check all fault, maybe dedicating especial days or class time to do this, like at the start of the experience class and thus undoing mistakes in the next next. Being fair, this is a student’s problem too because the teacher maybe can’t cope with a big number of students or at least is very difficult check the blog of two classes without abandon another tasks. So, it’s important the personal motivation of the student, who have to ask when have a doubt.
I think this course is good oriented, because is very functional and look for all aspects of the communication. But, the are details as above it could improve.
Best wishes, I see you.

The job of my dreams

There are many areas in my career where choose and for to be a good physical therapy is necessary choose and specialize in one of them. As a child, I been attached to sports so I think that will be my future work area.
I hope know a lot of sports science and maybe discover new limits for the human body and upgrade sports marks and rehab times (and quality obviously) and for that I know that I have to study a lot.
I really love my country, because of many reasons. But if I have those goals, for now, Chile doesn’t have the technology or opportunities to develop what I want and Live of that. So, maybe (or maybe not) in seven years I will have to migrate to another countries like Brazil (perhaps the nearest), USA or any of Europe.
Anyway, my ideal job has to offer me the possibility of travel occasionally and perfect my knowledge. Also it has to have a good work environment. I don’t talking about laughter and jokes every time, but I want a serious and respect environment for don’t have problems with anybody (or avoid that). My ideal job have to give me time to share with my family. Maybe these are many requirements for a job and could be too difficult to find something like that. But I think I can work and study for obtain my aims or almost of that.
That is my ideal job, but maybe in seven years I’ll change of opinion about that I want and I finished having a restaurant, having my own research center or health center , why not?

Importance of Prevention

Many diseases are avoidable and unfortunately are caused by ignorance. Also of people health the absence of prevention in the society have many effects in the economy, health quality, life expectancy, etc. By the above the functions of the health specialists in the prevention subject are very important. Despite the necessity to promote the prevention in the population, this is a complex task because we must consider too many aspects according to age, likes and social stratum, for example.

There are many intervention areas and must be elected the best way. I like the sports area because is closer to my likes. In this area is important considerate not only the sportsman or sportswoman, because the training ambient, relation with partners, technic, nutrition in resume all the environment of her/him are important too.

I think the physical therapist could have an important labor in the performance of workers. Lesions or bad postures could reduce the performance and profits. In this area, ergonomics is the principal actor and source of knowledge, because its objective is to observe and identify the interaction between the factors before mentioned.

But the job of the health specialists isn’t restricted at the specific labor of prevent bad conditions in the environment; also can join in the emotional state of the people. Nowadays, medical advances allow to improve people’s condition, and we, as physical therapist, have the responsibility for giving our knowledge to the population.
