Memorization and research are better means to building our intellect. Technology can sometimes be a distraction from communication, learning and gaining intellect. Many would rather use technology to store the information we need in place…

She hardly looked or acted her age and was clearly on her way to fulfilling National Geographic journalist Dan Buettner’s task of living to be over one hundred which he investigates in his speech “How to Live to be 100+”. In his speech, Buettner delves into what exactly extends life by looking into so called Blue Zones or “ areas where people are living to age one hundred at rates up to ten…

Consuming unhealthy choices such as fast food, can add thousands of empty calories to the average person’s diet that can’t be worked off during the average worked filled day that comes with sedentary…

Prior to these days of tracking, students had a clear idea of how many calories, grams of fat, carbohydrates, and protein they should intake each day. Overall, I was genially surprised about my results from the five days of tracking I completed. I found that at the start of documenting, I had a higher intaking of fat than was recommended but not enough carbohydrates or…
