The “PE Question Box” is back in action for 2013. Students who have questions regarding health and fitness are encouraged to write out their questions and drop them in the Question Box. If they are appropriate, Mr. Recker will answer them on the blog. Below are the first three questions of the new year.
Question: How
do apples help you?
Answer: Apples
contain an important nutrient called “quercetin.” Quercetin is a flavanoid that is especially helpful to the
body’s respiratory system. There
is also exciting research showing that it can protect the nervous system and
lower inflammation in the body.
Question: Is
bubble gum or any gum bad for you?
Answer: The
answer depends on what kind of gum and the reason you chew it. If you chew gum
because you are addicted to sweets, and it makes you want to eat more sugary
foods, then it’s not so good for you. If you chew it once in awhile to clear up
bad breath or stop you from eating junk food, then that’s not such a bad
thing. I would keep the gum
chewing to a “once in awhile” activity.
Question: What
is one way I can focus on my homework better?
Answer: There
are many answers to this question, but one suggestion I would give is to find a
quiet place free of distractions like television. Find that quiet place and just focus on the work to be done.
