Dr. Yolanda Lewis-Ragland gave direction today with a presentation on health, fitness, and hygiene. Her presentation reviewed the importance of exercise to avoid diabetes, depression, and obesity. She also reviewed nutrition and the food pyramid and emphasized the importance of fruits and vegetables. As far as nutrition goes, there are a number of articles that discuss our Nation's obesity epidemic. Obesity and diabetes are plagues to the African American community because of the failure to go to the doctor, failure to exercise, and failure to eat nutritional foods. Diseases from malnutrition do not only affect the African American community, they are harmful to everyone. For example, commercial businesses pitch greasy foods to children such as, Mc Donald's commercials. Kids also do not know about the rewards of exercise, because they are busy playing video games or it is too dangerous to play outside because of the high violence and kidnapping rate.
Hygiene plays an important role in keeping healthy and it enables longevity. Brushing your teeth, bathing, and wearing clean clothes not only helps health wise, but it gives a presentation of cleanliness and a positive presentation of yourself, which is important when you have a job. At an interview if you look dirty, smelly, and not put together you may not get the job, because you are giving a signal that you just do not care.
Dr. Lewis-Ragland ended her presentation with some exercise and delicious smoothies. Yum!

LIGHTS, CAMERA ACTION!
Mr. Joe Walker returned today to teach the class about how to use light gels (color filters) on lights, how to make interesting shapes with the light shutters and he reviewed the different types of lights and lighting. Lights are not easy to manipulate, the class needed some help from Mr. Walker. Here are a few pictures from today's session
