A little look at the future...

I trust I'm going to reach my expectations if I follow making an effort. So I see myself working and doing an post- degree in seven years. Later I'll travel and probably I'll be working in Canada or Australia, I love that idea because I always have wanted to live abroad, and after of many years to come back to Chile. I'll be practicing Neuro-phycal therapy and I'll be living in a flat with Ganiel, my friend, who are going to accompany me while he practice Occupational therapy.We have talked about that idea before. Probably we'll be working in the same hospital and I think we could earn a good salary and we would save money up for our future project. We'll be living abroad for many years and we'll come back to Chile later.
We'll stablish a rehabilitation center here and we'll apply a multidiciplinary work and we'll use the experience we earned abroad. I will probably have family in those days. I'll follow working and specializing me. That place would be the designed by my friend Mario who will be an great architect. It will be a differnt place compared with traditional rehabilitation centers, with green areas, spacious and lit with natural ligth. We will use alternative medicine too. I'd like in that this place would have a friendly and comradeship between the staff working there.
I hope my dreams are fulfilled, different things can happen in the future and even my dreams can change and the only thing I can do it's to try to achieve it.

PD: C'mon Chile!!

Prophylaxis

Better safe than sorry, we must to take care about our body to avoid to put it in risk.
A physical therapist see cases of respiratory disease and neuro-muscle-skeletal system and a part of his/her job is to educate to the patient about plans of prevention.

In respiratory area, to prevent infections, the most important action of prevention is to wash our hands, because we unconsciously take our hands to our mouth and nose (the channels of entry to our body). So we can to prevent another sickness too. The group of risk in that case are elderly people and unweaned babies, for which exist vaccine against flu virus. Winter is the station with more consultations caused by ARI.

In neuro-muscle-skeletal area we can find group of risk too, such us elderly people which have weak bones, atrophied muscles, wore out cartilages, and another pathologies related with the age, and sporty people which are more prone to get traumatic injuries. So elderly people have to take care about his/her physical state, doing moderate exercises and avoid sedentary behaviors, and sporty people have to use the corresponding equipment.
The factors of risk we must to avoid are diabetes (that causes bad reparation of tissues), gender (women are more prone to get osteoporosis), sedentary behaviors (that causes atrophy, osteopenia, and another alterations), hurts (we have to do and asepsis), alcohol, smoke of cigarettes and not to do an appropriate pre-warm up, between others.

Take care your body :)

Eva and Adan today

It's evident the physical and psychological differences between men and women, caused by genes, hormones and fisio-biological cycles. Biologically a woman has been born to be mother and a man due his physical condition has been born to be a supplier. They form a couple. That roles are been kept for centuries, the woman like mother staying in the house with the children and the man like supplier working and bring sustenance, being the boss. Anyway in sexual act a woman is conditioned to receive and a man is conditioned to give, giving them passive and active roles.

However, the society continuously is changing by new knowledge, education, culture, technology, needs, etc., I mean, a change of paradigm.

Today, in our society, a woman don´t born to be a mother and a man a supplier, she and he have had to combine rolls. It´s common seeing single mothers, workers women and women bosses, women with voice and decision. The women have won roles which belonged to men before and men have lost power over her. It attracts the attention that while the women win field in masculine areas, men cannot do the same without being prejudice victims.

As we live in a diverse world, the different cultures defines the roles that correspond to woman a man, so we must be understanding and tolerants, thus we can live harmoniously.

Full paunch, happy heart...

Some people felt guilty when they eat food that commonly are considered unhealthy food. In my case, I don't have that remorse, because I belong to that damned race (according to a friend's mom) that can eat all they want and not gain weight.

I have most preference for desserts and sweet food. I love all types of cakes and I cann't decide my favorite. I learnt time ago to make lemon pie, I love it so much, so I make it every time a can.

I like so much candies, chocolates, honey, fruits, cakes, cookies, etc. Sometimes, I think I'll probably obtein diabetes, when I am old man, so I try to curb me.

However, I love salt food too, and my favourites are home-made food, especially the food that my granny prepare, such us "sopaipillas", tortillas, pasties, stews, and the best of all: "porotos granados". Oh! I got hungry, ñam, ñam.

Sometimes, my friends and me go to "Patio Centro" to eat. That place is frecuently our meet point. There we buy fast food, we eat often in Doggis about 4 super large chips boxes to 5 persons.

I have to admit I eat a lot, but I cann't support to eat so much fat, because it produced me nausea. I like to eat, and I try that is natural, because I am conscious artificial food is very damaging to my body because can produce severe pathologies, like cancer.
