An essay about a balanced diet

An essay about a balanced diet

The American diet is based mainly on the excessive consumption of fats, sugar, soda, meat, chips, sauces... and very little consumption of vegetables and fruits. There are many fast food restaurants, "junk food", where they choose the products by their appearance, flavour and smell, regardless of their nutritional value.

However, the Mediterranean diet is much healthier and balanced, rich in products like olive oil as the main fat, red meat, lots of fish and vegetables. This diet includes fruit and vegetables and moderate consumption of sugar and fats.

The Mediterranean diet contains between 1500 and 1800 calories a day, the American diet provides between 3000 and 4000 calories a day, also the risk of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease is much higher among those who eat the American diet.

Having a look at my daily diet, I would say it's more similar to the American diet, with a lot of sugar, hamburgers and meat, but few fruits and vegetables consumption. I should change my eating habits and cosume more fruits, because I like the kiwi and orange, and vegetables like zucchini or lettuce.

Volleyball

18 of May, 2016

Today we have continued with volleyball. At the beginning of time we have been playing in pairs, passing the ball with different types of serve and touches over the net. Then we played a game 6 against 6 liked it especially with my team because they are the people I most relate class, what I like is when the serve because it's like you have to give with all your strength to pass the network. I felt very comfortable and very active in class today but the week is full of exams and papers.

As the last class to my group and I play we play baseball, you us today we play lacrosse, which involves passing the ball to a colleague to try to score in the goal, which can not pass and that the goalkeeper is plays with a stick and a ball.
We divided into groups of 6 or 7 and my group lost because I think we do not organize well, because we all wanted to mark or go running for the ball without thinking that us could remove and mark, but I felt very comfortable and I I have seen very good attitude in this hour of class, I would like to do more times this sport.

But me and my group us played baseball, I like a lot, because he played on the wii, but is not the same, the only thing I do not like is that the track was fatal, because the bases were not seen and consisted go moving base and get to the initial base when your tirases the ball or when throw it some companion on your computer, and you have to stop when throwing the ball at the batting has it and that the They have passed their equipment and how this track very bad there was nothing, but anyway my team won the first and was able to give and I love this sport and I felt super comfortable and I really liked doing.

In today's class we have followed with badminton and we have followed them out but we have had to show Lucia as we did in pairs, I think it has given me very well and my attitude in class I was successful because I like badminton and much more, yet I have bored a little, because I like to do new things do not always badminton or volleyball, because there are lots of ways to do sport.
Lucia has told us that we make a practical test, and I do not like it because I think then we would have to practice more.

Volleyball

6 of April, 2016.

Today we started with volleyball and I like a lot, but not play well at all. Lucia explained to us the ways to pass the ball and we have been practicing for couples, which is how best sport is practiced, because it's just very boring and I liked it because I love volleyball. Then we did in threes and play a game that I like and I would pass very well. I love this sport and I would like to continue practicing it and learning it much better.
