Gender  &  Smoking 

For a couple of weeks we have been doing health.  We have been look at health crisis.  We had a really long list to look at and chose one to research about.  I chose smoking because I know somewhat about smoking.  I made a chart on men and women,  and age groups on who smokes more.  I found out men smoke more.

I think people should stop smoking and start chewing gum to help you stop smoking.

Do you know anyone that smokes ?

What is your opinion about smoke

Living a Healthy Lifestyle is a choice

Living a Healthy Lifestyle is a choice

Living a healthy lifestyle is a choice,  you can control your lifestyle.  

We can control our lifestyle,  what we eat,  how much sleep we get,  etc.  I think it's very important to control our lifestyle because we should live a healthy lifestyle but if you choose not to,  that's your decision.   For me I like to try to live a healthy life style because it can help you get less diseases and it could also make you live a little longer then what you would with a unhealthy life style.  We can control our lifestyles by making sure we have the amount of sleep out bodies need,  eating things with less salt,  making sure you're eating healthy and having enough water,  etc.  If you don't eat healthy it could cause diabetes and I'm pretty sure no one wants diabetes.   I try to eat lots of vegetables and fruit to make sure I'm living a healthy lifestyle.   I also try to get a lot of water and the amount of sleep I need.  For another thing I try to eat less salt.  

Getting Enough Sleep

Getting Enough Sleep

1.  How much sleep does a teenager need to get ?  You need 8-10 hours of sleep each night.

2.  What time do you wake up to get to school ?  7 am  What time do you go to sleep on average ? 9:00 - 10:00 pm Calculate the times,  does this give you enough sleep ? Yes,  for me at least. 

3.  Quality of Sleep:  List four ways you can help your body get a quality night's sleep ( most of this happens before bedtime! )

 1.  Don't go on your devices in the hour you going to sleep.

2.  Don't eat anything 1 - 2 hours before you sleep. 

3.  Turn off your phone to avoid checking it every 10 minutes.

4.  Sleep in a dark, comfy place.  

4.  In your own words,  Why do you think it is important to get a good sleep each night ?  How do you think this will help you at school ?   I think it's important to get a good sleep each night because it helps you have a good and positive mood for school the next day.  It will help at school because you will be in a really good attitude and you will get all your work done.
