Bernice`s speech: what does it mean to be healthy?

    My personal definition of being healthy means eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, reducing anxiety, and doing exercise. First, I think it is important to eat healthy foods. According to "CSEP", they say that teens between the ages of 14 - 17 should sleep around 8 - 10 hours each night. When you sleep, your body can grow and you need some rest. When you sleep, you maintain good health. When you get good sleep, you decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other diseases. Sleep helps to mend your heart. If you do not have good sleep, you might increase the risk of heart diseases, stroke, and other diseases. Or, sometimes you have thinking issues if you can`t sleep or you cannot focus. It is important for me to eat healthy foods because according to "Canada`s Food Guide," you have to eat a balanced meal and you cannot eat too many salty foods like chips and French fries from "Mcdonald's." You could eat balanced meals like fruits and vegetables because when you eat more fruits and vegetables, you will decrease the risk of heart disease and you will not cause a tummy ache because there is no sugar and salt that is added to the food. And balanced meals contain vitamins and chemicals. If you do not eat healthy foods and you eat too much junk food, it will cause you a tummy ache. If you eat too much salt, you will increase the risk of heart attacks and high blood pressure. When you eat too much sugar foods, you are going to have a stomachache and increases the diseases of heart attacks and other diseases. According to Canada`s food guide, when you eat foods with healthy fats, it will protect you from heart diseases and others that may cause you to be sicker. Third, I think it is important to find ways to decrease anxiety in life. According to "Mind On Mind", they have to say examples like making a schedule and doing routines everyday like going to bed and washing your hands. Those examples are important for your mental health because it shows what you want to expect to do. Sometimes, routines can increase your focus on one particular thing. If we do not do routines, it can affect our productivity and cause an increase in stress. It can affect focus on our work if we do not follow routines. Lastly, doing exercise is important for me because according to "CSEP", they have to say that teenagers and children needed to exercise from 30 - 60 minutes daily (in 5-7 days). This is a lot of days huh? it can decrease the risks of heart attack and high blood pressure. And also, doing exercises makes your muscles strong and healthy. I also like exercise because it might improve the quality of life. If we do not do exercise, it might increase health problems like heart attacks and high blood pressure. Not doing exercise might affect my mental health because when I am exercising, I release my happy hormones such as dopamine and serotonin which help me to stay happy. I thought being healthy might only be about eating healthy foods but, it also requires doing exercise, following routines, and taking care of my mental health.

So, scientist have been study living things for over 400 years. Later, the development of the microscope allows scientist to see cells for the first time because, it was hard to see. So, they can develop the cell theory by basic characteristics, of living things. You have to learn cells from other living things because, you have to learn what is the cell is look like, of its size or complexity. And it reminds us of studying of how living things work.

These are Bernice's cue cards for her hunger project: Part 2

In the 2016 “Who’s Hungry Report,” from “Daily Bread Food Bank, they say “People who live in a disability, and those having a body with a specific kind.” Those people who lived in the entire lives in Canada, and those who were immigrants.   People were struggled  with a lack of income and increasing high costs of shelter and food.  Many who are struggling do not access any food program at all due to stigma, not knowing about them or inability to access them because of lack of money for transit or lack of physical accessibility. Yet we do know that for tens of thousands of people across Toronto, the food bank has become part of their social safety net.  Aside from those important trends, poverty and hunger cut across all demographic boundaries. More and more in Toronto, they include those with both high and low levels of education. Those who are working and those who are not.  Fighting for hunger means to me is to fight is to reduce poverty, ...

What is the word "Auditory" means, and why it is a learning style?

Whatever your strongest Learning Styles results are, the best way to learn something is to try using all three Learning Style approaches whenever you can. Because different activities use different parts of our brain, when we try different approaches to learn or do the same thing, our minds do a better job of mastering it. So, it means to relate to the sense of hearing. It relates to the tings that we hear.
