My Healthy Diet

• A good diet is important for our health, our diets should contain a variety of different foods, to help us get the wide range of nutrients that our bodies need.

• According to the OMS, I have calculated the calories I need to take daily
• I need to take 2343.8 Kcal per day but I only take 1562 Kcal, so I have proposed myself to make a balanced diet with all the macronutrients I need.

My balance diet

1. Total calories: 2343,8 Kcal
2. Total carbohydrates: 1171,9 kcal
3. Total proteins: 702,8 kcal
4. Total fats: 522,72 kcal

                                   Self-assessment

In this term I´ve learned new vocabulary about technology, types of energy and some phrasal verbs.

I need to improve my grammar skills and study more. 

The thing that I´ve most enjoyed was the presentation that I´ve made with Esther about witchcraft.

I´ve learned lots of things about the book Witches, Secrets and Lies.

HAPPY EASTER!! 🎉😜

ENERGY METABOLISM

ENERGY METABOLISM

                  

             What is exercise?

 Exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and     wellness.

 It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. 

It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression.

           Metabolism

It is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. 

Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism, that breaks down organic matter and harvests energy by way of cellular respiration, and anabolism that uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.

   

         Anaerobic metabolism

 Is the creation of energy through the combustion of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. This occurs when your lungs cannot put enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep up with the demands of your muscles for energy. It generally is used only for short bursts of activity, such as when you go for a sprint when running or cycling or when you are lifting heavy weights.

When there isn't enough oxygen in the bloodstream, glucose and glycogen cannot be fully broken down to carbon dioxide and water. Instead, lactic acid is produced, which can build up in the muscles and degrade muscle function.

        Aerobic metabolism 

Is the way your body creates energy through the combustion of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats in the presence of oxygen. Combustion means burning, which is why this is called burning sugars, fats, and proteins for energy. Aerobic metabolism is used for the sustained production of energy for exercise and other body functions. Examples of exercises that use aerobic metabolism include walking, running, or cycling with sustained effort.

       How to avoid injuries

1.  Listen to body signals.
2.  Pay attention to sharp pain which signals that something is probably wrong. Dress for the weather. 
3.  Don’t just be a weekend exerciser.

The two processes are clearly intertwined, and equally important. Without aerobic respiration, we would lack the constant sources of energy needed to walk, breathe, work, speak and drive a car. Without anaerobic respiration, our ability to snap into action, such as during a fight-or-flight scenario, would be severely compromised. All in all, we should be eternally grateful for both sides of the metabolic pathway, and the clever path of evolution that allows us to live!

Hello guys.
This is my blog, I was in ireland in the first term so I couldn't post anything.
Im going to talk about Irland. It was fantastic, I´ve enjoyed a lot,
I´ve made new friends and I've learned lot of things about the country.
I think is the best way to learn English and is such a good place to go, I recomend it!

I will post all the new things I learn in this term.
See you soon!
