Posts: 20 Member
Time to do a little research. In your first topic post, you shared a goal(s) that you would like to achieve with your health. I want you to research a diet and/or exercise program that would help you reach this goal. Once you find the website that you feel will work for you, I want you to cite this website in Noodle Tools and create an annotation. Once you create the citiation, copy and paste your findings in a reply to this topic. Good luck!

Researcher. Web. 22 Apr 2013. This article informed me about how
sitting down can be deadly. Not in a instant death type of way, but how not
being active enough can cause blood clots in our veins. Things that we do
everyday can shorten our lives. The human body is structered to be
constantly moving. when we do nothing and just sit there while are muscles
are idle, our veins become a little more clogged. This website alsp
mentions how some people that were "destined" to be obese , weren't. All by
staying active. This website doesnt mention how to be active, but it does
say that every little thing counts. So, ultimatly, we just have to make the
healthier choices in life. Taking the stairs, ride your bike, or eat an
apple instead of a chocolate bar. Every little thing counts.0 -
