Skype Health Session

Today we had a unique experience at Daystar - we were able to have a Skype health session with Mr. Rick Mautz, the director of health ministries for the Rocky Mountain Conference. The students prepared questions to ask him concerning obesity, sugar, fat, sodium and high blood pressure.  He spent approximately one hour with the students, patiently answering their questions and directing them to some websites for more information. This session was part of their requirement of working with community members for their PBL.

"I specifically learned today that too much fat intake is not always the cause of obesity. Some of the other factors could be genetics, diet and lack of exercise," said Collin.

Audra said, "I didn't know that over 50% of the world is overweight and that arthritis means the swelling of joints."

Pedro learned that we could decrease our salt intake by salting our food after it is cooked instead of while it is being cooked. 

A big thank you to Mr. Mautz for taking part of his day to spend with the Daystar students.

Our quote for today is from John F. Kennedy, "Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity."

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
