Atara Berkower - Week 7 - How I maintain a healthy lifestyle

How I maintain a healthy lifestyle

As difficult as it is, I try to keep a healthy lifestyle. This includes eating nutritious meals and working out daily. On a daily basis, I eat salads and fruits at lunch and dinner to receive my vitamins. Bringing food from home helps me stay healthy in school because I am not eating the unhealthy food given to students. When I get home, I eat a nutritious snack like yogurt or fruit before I go to the gym. Following the gym, I am inspired to cook a healthy meal. I have recently started making spaghetti squash. I never enjoyed eating it, but I found a way that makes it tasty. I put tomato sauce and cheese on it, and it tastes like regular spaghetti. It is not difficult to make, although it takes some time; while it is in the oven I do my homework. Another meal I have recently started cooking was fried eggs or omelet. If anyone knew me last year, I hated the idea of eating eggs and would never think to even try it. This changed when I was forced to eat it in Israel because they had no other option that I enjoyed at the hotels I stayed at. Forcing myself to eat it, the thought of eating it had changed and I enjoyed it more daily. When I got home, I started making it and it has changed my life. It is so easy and quick to make. Sometimes I toast bread, cut up an avocado, and place the egg on top. That is my favorite way to eat it, although when I am in a time crunch, I eat it with the salad that is in my fridge. 

It is a challenge to stay healthy when there are so many options for unhealthy food around you. I manage to stay healthy throughout the week by cooking foods that I have found tasty to me. On the other hand, the weekends are the days I do not focus on staying healthy. I keep those days as days that I do not focus on my nutrition. What is something that motivates you to maintain your health? If you do not focus on your health, what is something that you work towards to weekly?

    I too try to eat healthy, and l totally agree that it's easier to stay on track at school when you bring food from home. I wish I had the motivation to work out everyday, but I feel like I don't have the time for that. It's really cool that you manage to fit so much stuff into every day.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
