1. How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?
I think I would like to group people together according to the different Latin dances, such as cumbia, salsa, merengue, reggeaton, mambo, dances that are incorporated into Zumba. Also put bright colors in the room, but not anything to bright, like hot pink because that would be distracting and I'm also thinking of taking the desk out, to give the room more of the empty feel that exercise rooms.
2. What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?
Well my topic is Zumba, thus one of my activities would be Zumba. As for any other activities I'm still in the thinking process I am thinking of making a Jeopardy-like game where the groups are quizzed on nutrition. I know that I want to make all my activities-except for the the Zumba activity- interactive games that will make the groups work together while using what they learned from my answers to win these games. My third activity is still in the process of being thought of.

Article: Mostly Plants
Author: Dean Ornish
Source: The American Journal of Cardiology
Literal(L): "Eat food. Mostly plants. Not to much." -Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma
Interpretive(I): Ominivore's are people (not necessarially people but for this case yes) who eat both meat and plants. So my understanding from this guy is eating to my plant based produce is not always good, huumm.....
L: " there is a growing coverage of scientific evidence that an optimal diet is mostly plant based, consisting predominately of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and soy products. A healthful diet is also low in refined carbs, saturated fat, and trans fats and high in complex carbs with adequate omega-3 fatty acids."
I: Based on what Pollan said and based on what Ornish said, they are both walking a fine line between having the same/different philosophy when it comes to food..who to believe? When you have so much against and for meat.
L: "When most patients are diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia, they are usually advised to follow the dietary lines of the American Heart Assoication or the National Cholesterol Education Program. However, these moderate changes in diet usually result in only modest reductions in LDL cholesterol levels, at which point lipid-lowering drugs are usually prescribed. Most patients are not go en the option of making more intensive changes in diet and life-style such as a plant based diet, because of the belief that they will not follow them."
I: This is long, but it is becoming clear to me that the government or whoever is in charge of this, doctors, big meat and drug companies are all in a battle to make sure the people of every nation are subjectifiying themselves to the ways that they [those in charge] want us to,because if the government really wanted to end the obesity expansion that we have then they would have doctors take people off they're mods because that makes it to easy for everyone who is doing that to not solve the problem, but prolong the diseases, such as cholesterol same goes for meat that is supposedly great for humans, but I think it could be said that our teeth are an indication that we are not carnivores."

Article: "Are These Foods Really Healthy?
Author: Danya Winter, RD

Text:
"...Society for Neuroscience's conference in San Diego... researchers presented several studies neatly demonstrating that a particular type of trans fat attacked brain tissue, muddying thought and destroying memory.
My Thoughts:
I didn't know there were different types of trans fat, that is a good "look up" idea, if the brain is harmed in anyway then that will unintentional harm the body and one's healthy.
Text:
"...Rats eating trans fats made more errors than the vegetable oil group, they didn't seem to learn from previous trips through a maze. Granhholm (neuroscientist Lotta Granholm, PhD, director of the Center on Aging at the Medicial University of South Carolina) suspects that the trans fats were choking off a key neurological protein, possibly by inflaming the brain's tissue."
My Thoughts:
My question is could this possibly kill a person, granted when ur senses are not all there, you make reckless decisions, but that can also be said for why as a society we eat foods, fast food that we know are bad for us, but is also very addicting. Could it be a silent killer.
Text:
"Food manufacturers had began using a comparatively cheap new hybrid sweetener called high fructose corn syrup back in the late 1960s, and a few years later, rates of obesity and diabetes began to skyrocket."
My Thoughts:
Humm... Idea! Look up all things bad in foods, ingredients, man made ingredients that have cause or maybe causing obesity. Also the dangers of meat products they is a lot of controversy as to if they are healthy or harmful.

"These two ingredients- trans fat and high fructose corn syrup- are in 40% of the foods Americans eat every day. And a growing number of experts believe that both are contributing to the epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in the U.S."

Answer 2
EQ: What is the best way to lose body fat?
1. Answer 2: The most important aspect of losing body fat is eating nutritionally rich foods.
2. Evidence:
a. Do not cut out all fats. The body needs "good" fats, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, to fight fatigue and control one's weight. Do cut out the "bad" fats, such as saturated and trans fat, which contribute to a number of health problems.
b. To lose body fat, the body needs to be kept from switching to starvation mode, which increases fat storage, and the only way to do that is to eat nutritionally rich foods that fill the stomach up in small portion sizes.
c. When one eats less, while exercising more, there creates a battle between the brain (telling you not to eat) and the subconscious (telling you your body needs food to function properly, which may cause overeating because the body has been starved). The subconscious always wins.
3. Sources:
a. "Choosing Healthy Fats: Good fats, Bad fats, and the power of Omega-3 fats" by Melinda Smith, M.A., Maya W. Paul, and Robert Segal, M.A.
b. You on a Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management by Michael R. Roizen, M.D. & Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.

The Product
My Product:
Fully Understanding, "You are what you eat." (In clear words, I have come to understand that unhealthy foods are the main reason why my fat cells have grown, versus the major myth that exercise can cure body fat growth.) I choose this a my product because it is a simple concept but is often overlooked for exercise, but I found that not only does food help my body lessen the body fat, but it gives me energy and taste satisfaction.

I choose this a my product because it is a simple concept but is often overlooked for exercise, but I found that not only does food help my body lessen the body fat, but it gives me energy and taste satisfaction.
Evidence:
- Food Journal (From Independent Component 2): The Food Journal, I had i mind to do for a while because it is an efficient way to keep track of what I am eating and so I am able to pin point what are some of the foods that are either holding me back or helping me succeed. The Food Journal has also kept me from eating certain items that are unhealthy, because it keeps me mindful versus being able to forget what I ate.
- Interview 3: My interviewee, Adrian Navar, is a personal trainer and when I asked him what he thinks is the best way to lose weight, he said it all starts with food, the type and the amount of food a person puts in their body. (In so many words) A lot of articles I have come across have pin pointed people's food habits as the main reason for obesity and Adrian, in so many words, also agrees.
