Outline

Hi everyone!
In English class, my classmates and I present many issues. I told them about "obesity and ways to avoid it”. I chose it, because in my view, obesity is an important disease in twenty one century which produces many diseases too, such hypercholesterolemia, and is connected with other chronic diseases, such diabetes. My main objective was identify the main risk factors, government policies in Chile, ways to aid obesity and ask ithe obesity is a disease that we can prevent  Obesity is suffered by different groups on population such children, young or elderly, women or men. My oral presentation was based in biography and on-line research and comparisons between the information obtained and finally I checked and erased some information because it was inconsistent, old and contradictory. In this investigation I identified he items proposed in my aims and I concluded, about governmental policies, that are more similar to advices than regulatory laws and that the obesity is multifactorial disease that affects several age groups and is easilyand cheaply preventable by all, it I proposed asking what are the population’s causes, however chooses the behavior that will promote early get overweight and obesity.
See you soon, guys!!

The first time /*o*\

Hello future friends!! I must create this blog, but I don't know how do something in this page. It's my first blog.
My name is Constanza Santander. I'm 19 years old and I live in Santiago (Chile) with my family and my little "poodle" dogs. I'm studying nursing in University of Chile.
I hope with this blog learning how I working with web-pages and get better fluency to write in english, and finally in a couple of years can writing some publication on a journal, a formal text or a educational little text about first aids or health prevention to ordinary people.
Bye!!
