Hello again!! This week I have to talk about hobbies, there are many of them but each one has a prefer hobby. Personally I have many hobbies, one of them is the reading, I can spent hours and hours with a book, I love the histories about magic, love and mystery and I don’t like the books about murders or about terror, they scare me. My favorites authors are J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho and more recently Stephanie Meyer, these are very famous because of their novels that generally are bestsellers, all the people buy them!!. Another hobby I like is watch movies, like the books I like the movies about love, magic and the comedies and I hate the movies about terror, wars or about politics I watch movies for fun not to stress me more !!.
Well my preferred hobbies are drawing and painting, I really love them and honestly I think that I do them very well. I can draw anything, but generally I draw places, forest, the ocean and things like that, also I draw people. About my painting it is very colorful, I don’t like painting with only black and white I am happier if I can use all the colors without limits and usually I mix the colors. I painted since I was a child but I have been developing and improve it since I was ten years. I think that are many people that have a great skill, but everyone can draw no matter how they do it, the important is to try and practice and give all your passion. Now, since I started the second semester in the university, I am in a drawing class and I hope I can be better and improve myself for finally do a beautiful work of art, because this is something that I really love. Well I see the next week!!

Hello again!!! This week I’m going to talk about summer vacations, I love it!! And I only think about the end of university and the beginning of the vacations. But for that I have to wait about two months more...
Well all my life I went to the beach specifically to “Tabo”, this beach is in the fifth region of Chile, is a popular, beautiful and a relatively cheap beach. In those years my family always rented a house for a few days, But some years later all my family together bought a beach house in “Isla Negra” and since then we always go to there for much more time, about one month generally. Isla Negra is known because there is where a famous poet “Pablo Neruda” have his house, is a beautiful house immediately in front the sea, every year we go to his home. In the next summer we are going to go to “Isla Negra” again, like every summer.
Generally when we are in the beach we go all the day to the beach, there my brother and I swim in the ocean, play tennis, climb big rocks next to the sea and eat a lot of ice cream, after that we relax and see the beautiful sunset and walk back to our home. In the night we dress up and go to others cities next to “Isla Negra”, like “Algarrobo”, “El Quisco” and sometimes we enjoy a beautiful dinner next to the sea, or simply walk and walk seen the shops and all the handicrafts. Sometimes we only visit to other family in “Tabo” and have a nice night talking about ourselves.
I travel to the beach always with my mother, father, little brother, my two cousins, my two grandparents and my two dogs, a lot of people!!! But our house is big enough for all them. I really enjoy my vacations, but in the future I want to go to others countries like Australia, France, England, Italy, well I really want to go to the entire world!! I know that is a dream but how knows? maybe sometime in the future I can go!!!

Pregnancy-related diabetes : reducing the risk of complications

Hello again!!! Well in this time I will do a summary about a new item connected with my future career : Midwife.

I chose a new about gestacional diabetes. This disease development during the pregnancy and its symptoms are a high level of sugar in the pregnant woman. The baby`s sugar can be high too and because of that he could have problems during delivery like a caesarean section or a shoulder injury and also he can born with more weight. This affect to the mother too, she can development high blood preasure and in other cases a condition called pre-eclampsia that can produce death.

For reducing risk , pregnant women are checked for gestacional diabetes, more if they have some risk factors like overweight, someone in their family with diabetes or their babys are overweigt, etc. The woman who has this condition is treated advising her to change her diet an doing some exercising. If this doesn´t work the woman is treated using insulin. The problem is that this treatment is only for women that have a mild gestacional diabetes and is not helpful for women who have high level of sugar. What is the solution? : Prevent. Some studies revealed that women with mild gestacional diabetes have more chances to have a good pregnancy and delivery with less complications, also they can be treated without medicins (insulin). So for the pregnant woman is recommended to check for gestacional diabetes with their midwife and follow their treatment and advices , prevent is so easy and this will be the best for her and her little baby.

A sporting life

Hi!!! This week I have to talk about the importance of sports, well pesonally I don´t do sports right now because I don´t have the time and I prefer doing other things like painting or reading. I know perfectly that the sedentary life it´s very bad and doing sports you will have a more healthy and long life. Before I enter to university I usually like swimming and basketball, I love it I could stay in the water hours and hours without boring, it help me to relax and have a good time, now I haven´t organized my time for do it.

Actually the sports has been forgotten because now the people aren´t interested on doing sports, all that they care about is work, studying and doing others things, the good health isn´t important and almost all the population are actually sedentary. For being healthy it is necesary do physical activity and eat properly. The fast food is other problem because of this a big percent of the population are fat and I think in the future this will be worst, all the people will be sedentary and the people will do less and less sports. And this is only a social problem that will affect to entire world.

For stop this it is necesary to encourage the people promoting the good health and all the benefits of the sport, like a better and longer life, less health problems, less aging , etc. Also it is necesary to do more sports activities in the community, maybe more marathons, games and campionships or open community places where doing sports don´t cost so much like in gyms. Maybe doing that kind of things we can improve the health of the people, and believe me, that will be felt inmediately in the welfare of the country.
