Personal Blue Reflection

Decent Essays
I did complete my personal blue zone by completing the survey. I did create my account in order to be able to look at my result, but for some reason it said that something went wrong and they will fix it later. So I don’t really know what is my result. I learned from the website that one fast food meal will reduce 6 days of your life. Moreover, no alcohol consumption within a week will help add up to 80 days of living longer. While taking the test or survey, I was little confuse with putting amount for serving size. It is hard to recall what I ate last week. However, I figure out that I eat more meat and less fruit that I suppose to. I learned that I need to reduce eating meat so that I can live healthy. I also need to increase the intake

    The novel, Kindred, exposed me to the un- taught lifestyles of the southern people during slavery. It left me with questions, jaw dropping moments, and surprises, but yet not, of the life styles that were practiced during the 1800s that today we might see in different forms. One event that troubled me the most was reenactment of the slave market. Kevin and Dana were walking away from the Weylin’s home and slave quarters to talk in private when they saw slave children reenacting a slave market. Then Dana said, “Even the games they play are preparing them for their future.”…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned many new things about diet, health, and proper nutrition for a long life. Without learning these very important things, I may have just continued on my old diet, which was not healthy in the least. I have now seen a real proper diet, complete with all different food groups and everything in between. I am grateful for this class, because otherwise, I would probably still have that unhealthy diet. Nutrition taught me a lot, and I am ready now to follow all that it taught me, and I think I have the knowledge now to teach the people around me about it too.…

    I truly believe that our nation has definitely made progress in the area of racial injustice. One aspect that clearly demonstrates my belief is the fact that segregation and restrictions no longer exist in public. For example, our schools, workplaces, hospitals, basically any functional facility, is freely open for anyone of any race to use and we can all sit together in one room; this is something that never happened in the past and was a critical issue for the longest time. For me to look around my classroom and to see my classmates, as well as myself, sit beside each other in a peaceful manner makes me grateful that we have reached that state as a society. Along with that idea, in general, I believe people of today are more respectful and understanding of cultural differences than in the past.…
