today in class we saw a presentation on organ donation. this was presented by Mr. Carter, he talked about how organs work, sizes of organs, what happens when those organs fail, how long an organ can be out of a body and still be effective, two different ways of dieing and many other things. one of the main organs that mr carter focused on was the liver and how you need it to survive. also that if your liver is not working properly that you need to be on a machine called dalysis. this filters your blood and it needs to happen 3 times a week. when you finaly get a new liver then you need to take exspensive drugs for the rest of your life. its $1,100 a month and it makes your body accept the organ. if you dont take the medication your immune system will attack the organ and you will die. Mr carter also talked about how to become an organ donner. even if your lisence is signed saying that you will donate organs your closest loved on still has to ok it otherwise they cant take out the organs. he also talked about how the liver can regenerate itself. so you can take part of someones liver and then give it to someone who needs it and it will grow to full size in 6 weeks. he also talked about driver ed related stuff like,In 1964-ford was the first to put seat belts into American cars,In 1950's-volvo was the first car to put seatbelts in,In 1968-it was made a law so that all cars must have seatbelts,In 2001-the law "click it or ticket" was enforced.

i have not yet posted on class because the first attempt when i hit post blog it did not post it instead went back to the dashboard and did not save my post. then today when i tried to post my computer's powercord died and i was unable to post, this is why my post is late. i was not in class the full time because i was in a meeting, from the time i got to class to the end we watched 3 videos. the 3 videos where on 3 different juicers rangeing in quality and in price. Breville Juice Fountain Elite is the first one we looked at it is all stainless steal and has a titamium cutting blade with very few parts to clean the motor is 1000 watts which spins the blade at 13,000 rpms. this is the one we will be useing in class. the second one we looked at was Jack Lalanne it works as both a juicer and a food prosessor. It has a stainless steal cutting blade and it has only 2 parts that need to be cleaned. the third one was the juicer man and he gave a free hippo when you bought his juicer. he didnt explan about his jucier just said free hippo.

What is juicing and why would you want to have juicing be part of a healthy lifestyle? yesterday we learned that our next topic will be jucing. we where told to research the given websites and find out what we could about juicing and why it is good for us. when looking at the websites i found out that depending on how your indvidual body works you should drink different kinds of juice diets. like if you are a protine type you should only use certain vegatables like "celery, spinach, asparagus, string beans and cauliflower (including the base)." http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/juicing.htm. i also found out that the serving sizes should not be more then 6 Oz and can get as low as 3 to 4 Oz. i also found out that it is an easy way to get as many nutrients from a vegatable as possable. also the website i put above tells ways to get more out of jucing like adding eggs or garlic or protein powder. I have a question though, at an earlier date it was said to be good for you to drink raw eggs and so many people did. But now-a-days its said to be bad to drink raw eggs and this website suggest organic eggs. dose the organic eggs make a difference in salmonella, and if it dose not make a difference then is the health tips that this website are giveing a good idea to be listening to.
