History of Mexican Food

-The history of Mexican food is a long and diverse one. It is believed that authentic Mexican food might have been derived from the Mayan Indians. They were traditionally nomadic hunters and gatherers.

-Corn tortillas with bean paste were a common food item; but they also ate wild game, tropic fruits, and fish.

-The term enchilada is first referenced in the US in 1885. Yet the concept of tortillas being used as a wrap can be clearly linked to the Aztecs. The word enchilada means “in chile.”

Why Bone Health

Why is Bone Density so important for humans to have a better understanding on why it’s important to keep our bones healthy and strong at a young age. Having healthy and strong bones at young age and maintaining it that way when you’re getting older is very beneficial not just physically but it’s also emotionally and spiritually healthy for a person. Bone Health is just a part of being physically healthy, there’s more than just exercising and eating healthy. By having healthy bones you  won’t prevent a fall or any type of serious injury that may lead to a hospital or home stay, disability or even death. There are many factors that come in play in order to have strong healthy bones like for example: getting the right amount of nutrients, getting tested for bone density and even exercising for at least is possible 30 minutes. By speaking about Bone Density, hopefully older adults and even young adults make a change and taking under consideration to improve their health.

Research Process and Product

My process of gathering information  and creating some sort of visual was very interesting and fun experience. The first steps was to research and gather up important information and after having my essay done, the part two to my health project was to create a visual to present to a specific audience. The creating a visual was not difficult but is was challenge for me because I had so much information about bone health is important but having to sum up and choose specific information on my visual for my audience to read was a learning experience that for me personally that will help me get through other challenges I encounter later in life

CANNABIS USER STEREOTYPES

cannabis-1416052_960_720Cannabis User Stereotypes

A big issue in our day and age is that so many people discriminate cannabis users. People will get judged for consuming weed because some effects may cause you to be “lazy” and “stupid.Yes this may be true but there are many variables to this. It depends on the cannabis strain that you are consuming , the way you are consuming it , and who the user is. Cannabis doesn’t make everyone stupid and lazy.

Why is this topic controversial?

This topic is controversial because cannabis can affect a person badly or actually very well. Also it depends on the cannabis strain. The Indica strains are the types of cannabis that make you feel lazy and drowsy. Indicas have CBD in it and the chemical in cannabis that treats nausea , insomnia , & etc.

Yes cannabis can cause users to feel altered in the state of mind and not think clearly.  Also users may feel lazy and won’t have the motivation to do anything this is because the effects of Indica strains are in the body.  Sativa strains are the types of cannabis strains that give you the “head” high. Sativa strains have the psychoactive compound called Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) and the effects make you feel focused,energized, uplifted, and other effects that are for daytime use. Sativa strains are meant for the day time and to get active.

Why is this offensive?

Most cannabis users may find this offensive and some may not care of others opinions because they are using cannabis for their own personal use.

For the cannabis users who find it offensive is because cannabis doesn’t ruin your life, you do. If you can’t handle using cannabis and get your things done that’s on you.

You can be a very successful person and still use cannabis and not be stupid and lazy.

Where is the problem mainly happening?

Cannabis users are being discriminated all over the globe. It isn’t just one specific part of the world. Iceland is the highest populated country that uses cannabis. Anywhere you go someone there will always have something negative to say about cannabis.

Solution

The solution to stop cannabis users from being discriminated is quite simple. The users who  actually want to get their life together and have ambition.  Go to school, do your class work and finish your homework. Prove to people that you can smoke weed and still have your life together. There are plenty of cannabis users who are rich and successful.

 

Occupational Wellness

Posted on by under 20% project

Occupational Wellness is to be happy with your career. Everyone wants to be happy living their career, no one likes being miserable. Many people talk about what they want to be in the future, or wish to do with their future. But most people quit on trying to achieve their career due to how hard or long the process on becoming who they want be or labeled as. I personally want to go into the medical field after graduating high school. People ask me what type of job I want in the medical field and I respond with either becoming a nurse, or a paramedic and the type of response I receive from people are so negative they say; “that’s very hard, you wont make it” or “your not capable of achieving your career.”

Social Wellness

Social Wellness is building relationships with others and dealing with conflicts appropriately. One of Javier Perez’s strength that connects with Social Wellness is Relator. When it comes down to working as a team either on his job or on a sport team, Javier enjoys building up relationships to achieve goals. For example, Javier has played on his high school soccer team the past three years. His freshman year he took a big step on trying out for the jv team, he wanted to step out of his comfort zone by playing with upper classmates. Javier making that decision on stepping out of his comfort zone changed his life for the next two years. His sophomore and junior year Javier was a starter on the varsity team. Javier was a very important factor to the team. The coach and teammates would always say that “Javier has the mentality of a leader and he’s a role-model.”
