9/6/2007 Today in class we discussed what we thought health was. . We also went outside and did an activity that showed us how people can complete a task differently, and helped us investigate which activity would go with what component of health. Then we also had to think about what our best experience has been in high school, and what our worst experience has been so far. What is juicing and why would you want to have juicing be part of a health lifestyle? One of the main advantages of juicing is the nutrients that it allows you to consume.

9/10/2007 The first thing that we did today in class was take a survey about habits that we do such as eating and stress and exercise. Then we shared what our number was for the answer. Then we discussed juicing, and watched a couple cheesy videos on it. Some of the things that I learned from the videos were that; when you are juicing you should keep the peel on it , and you should discard the green ones because they could be toxic. Lemons-You need to scrub, and remove the peel.. It is bitter, and it can be toxic.
