Running Reflection

I think that something I did well on was pumping my arms and keeping me arms at a 90 degree angle. As you can see in the video, I kept on pumping my arms and when my arms were at the back they still were in the 90 degree angle. I think that another thing that I did well on was running tall. Something that I need to work on as a runner would probably be running on my toes. Another thing would be keeping my head up and my eyes forward. As you can see in some of the clips, from time to time I would be looking at the ground. And as it's hard to see, I'm not consistently running on my toes, from time to time my feet are flat on the ground which is slowing me down. In conclusion, some of my weaknesses in running is keeping my head up and my eyes forwards, and running on my toes. While some of the strengths are pumping my arms and keeping that 90 degree angle.

Should Insects be Included in Our Diets?

Have you ever realised that insects are already included in your diet? Never thought about that right? Insects are contained in most of your foods, leading to 500 grams of insects being eaten per year. If insects are being eaten already in some form, why stop now? Continuing to include insects in our day to day diets can bring us many different health benefits.  Without us already knowing, most foods already contain bugs in them. From processed foods, chocolate, to even fruits and vegetables. 1,000 species of bugs are being eaten, without us even knowing. If vegetables and fruits are bringing us vitamins and health benefits, aren't the bugs that are included with them too? Everyday, people in developed countries are eating 80 kilograms of meat per year. We all know that pigs, and animals such as cows have the ability to carry unwanted diseases without us being aware of it. Pigs are just like humans, we're able to use their organs to replace one of ours'. We're always worried about catching an unwanted disease, but knowing that you could get a disease from an animal you are eating, is unbearable. On the other hand, insects are nothing like humans. Insects wouldn't be able to pass on deadly diseases onto people, if insects are part of our diets, our chances of catching an unfortunate disease would decrease.  Out of the many different animals in our world, 80% of these species are insects. If we continue or start to eat these insects, we would never get bored! With all the choices and the ways we could eat them. In some countries, insects are known as a delicacy. Cooked in many different ways, this could lead to another health benefit of the huge spectrum of insects. Insects could be sneaked into a diet by putting them into dishes with other healthy ingredients. We all know that food dye isn't as healthy as we thought, but what we didn't know was the insects are one of the many ingredients in it. Food dye with insects as one of their ingredients would cost the same amount as gold. People who eat insects would have less of a chance of getting a disease and a healthier way of eating them.
