How my background affects my health!

I think my background has significant effects on my health. There are some positive effects. I come from family that respect is one of the values of it. I haven’t seen my parents talk to each other or to their kids with less respect. I learn from my family to understand others, and to listen to their problem. This issue made me a good listener to people’s problem; also it made me someone who can talk about my problem with others. Overall, I have a good mental health because my parent provided me a good environment. Moreover, culture and traditions of my family had some good influence on me. I learn to be thankful for thing that I have. I think this is the reason I’m happy of my life.

On the other hand, my background has some negatives effects on me. I don’t have a good diet. Eating rice and bread become a habit for me. Not only my family, but also any families in my country eat lots of Carbohydrate in their meals.
If I want to continue eating like this, probably I will have a heart attack before I get old enough. And I don’t want to be a bad parent for my children in future. I should stop these before they become habit. I know nothing like parents can influence kids life, so I try to be a healthy man that can have a good effects on my future family.

a Great Novel

I bought a novel called the Secret Daughter last week from Costco, and I try to read one chapter every night before asleep.  The Secret Daughter is written by Philpi Somaya Gowda, is one of the best book I ever read. After reading almost 3 chapters of the book, I can’t wait to read rest of it. The way that author describe the story makes me think what will happen to characters of story.

Author describes life of two families that are connected to each other. Kavita and Jasu, They lived in small city in India. Kavita first baby was a girl (Asha), and Jasu didn’t let her to keep baby because in that time people couldn’t have a baby girl in India. So they gave the baby to orphanage. Kavita second baby was a boy (Vijay). After Vijay got older, they moved to Bombay. They have poor family, so both Jasu and Kavita work hard to pay for Vijay school.

Meanwhile, Indian man names Kris had American wife names Somer, and they both are doctor. Somer had medical problems, and she couldn’t get pregnant. They decided to adopt a baby from orphanage. They adopt kavita’s daughter. 

One of the things that make me interested to continue reading this book is when author describe Vijay’s problems with his family. He knows his parents work hard for his future, so he works secretly and bring home some money every night. On the other hand, Asha also has some problem with her dad. Kris wants her to become a doctor, but she loves to be a journalist. 

My childhood

I’m not child anymore, but I miss my childhood years. It was really beautiful to be a child.  I’m happy that when I think about my childhood, I have good memories in my mind. I remember how young 

my father was. He had black hair with a mustache. Even his voice is different now.

My days were happy ones before I started going to school. I had good neighbors to play with from morning till evening. We play games in the neighbor such soccer in street and hide and seek. I was really good in soccer in street; always there was a fight between my friends that which side should I play.

 At the age of five, I stated to attend kindergarten. I remember my sister’s school was also in the same building. She had classes on the second floor. I can’t believe that was 16 years ago. She looks so different now. I can’t my sister getting married this summer. Life goes really fast.

In the kindergarten, I had two best friends. They were twins, both girls. They had same outfit all the time. We played lot of games on the breaks. I don’t know where they are now! This is what I don’t like about life….

there are some good people!

When I got home last saturday, I understand that my paycheck is not in my pocket. I thought that I put it in my car or somewhere like every time, so i forgot about it....

Last night when I was checking my Facebook Messages, I find the new message in the other section.

This was the message: found a paycheck with your name on it in the crosswalk . call me at 971....

So I call that guy today's morning. someone with the really thick voice answered the phone. I told him who am I and he told me I will be in pioneer  around 1, and you can come get your paycheck.

I went to Pioneer and called him. He said that I'm in ....th and ....! when I got to the place that he told me I saw a man who was sitting on the ground and had a piece of paper in his hand : I want money for beer!

He said Hi Hesam ! and I just realize that he is the guy who find my paycheck! he was a homeless! he gave me my paycheck....I didn't know how to appreciate! I thought a pack of beer is the only things i can do.......!

My thoughts

I’m afraid of new culture. After two years of living in United State, still I feel the cultural differences in my daily life. It is everywhere. People’s values and norms are totally different here. It makes me angry sometimes. For example last weekend, I went out for dinner with my friend. We had our food and drink and we were talking. Waiter came and put the check on the table and he left, and this thing happens every time that I go somewhere to eat! Why they doing that? This is not respectful. I can ask for my check whenever I want it! What does this act mean? Pay your food and leave? If that waiter does something like this in my country, restaurant manager fire him because he does not respect customers!

What can I do? I should do something about it! What is the point of getting angry for these small things? I should try to take everything easy. It is not important. It is just some differences.  

FIT

How to Be Fit

There are lots of people in the world who trying really hard to get fit. They spend hours in gym everyday; they spend money to buy medicine that helps them to loss weight, but still they are not happy with their weights.  Why they can’t get result? What is the problem?

There are some reasons that many people can’t get to their favorite weights. I think the main reason is that people spend their time to exercise, but they don’t have much control on the food they eat. I have a friend who is the personal trainer. I asked him the question that "how much important is food to get fit?" He said: I can tell 50 % is food and 50 % is workout.

It is really important to have the colories balance. This means that the energy that we get from our food should be almost equal the amount of energy that we use everyday. A man with the normal activity level needs to get 2400 calories per day. If he spend more that this amount his body start to burn fat. On the other hand, if he spends less that the amount that he get from foods, he will gain weight. We have to know that the amount of calories that we get should not be to much less than the amount of calories that we get from food. When people suddenly start to eat less than before body react to this issue and start to save all that you enter your body, and this is what you don’t want to happen.
