Lawson Drackey 2 here in Fredericksburg we are very far from “Sardaine”, mountains in Costa Rica, Nicoya peninsula, “Okinawan” or the Island of “Ikaria” in Greece.

Classified tourist town, Fredericksburg is a little country in Virginia. Despite modernity,
Fredericksburg keeps a picture of the old cities. Here is a quiet and small community of elderly people and pensioners who share daily life with young people and children. This cohabitation between generations is one of the features of this city. I admire this community for the efforts of each person to keep in shape. It looks like they all know about the "blue zones". I could perceive each morning and going to work and each evening on returning from my work people jogging on the sidewalk for those who could still do it and for others who could not just walk and take the fresh air. Every morning in Fredericksburg, we could see the elderly come to walk for hours in the Spotsylvania mall and other group sitting around the coffee to discuss. All this shows a
Fredericksburg was the meeting place of the Armies of the Potomac and of Northern Virginia because of political pressure for the Union to achieve a decisive military victory. Winfield Scott’s Anaconda plan, which would have strangled the Confederacy into surrender through economic warfare, was overshadowed by impatience in Washington D.C., and by the aspirations of officers who were students of the grand Napoleonic victories that occurred less than a century prior.

How long do you think you will live on this earth? Most of us will pause and think before answering the question. Think about our health, our family health history, and how long our grandparents lived or are living. The average American male lives to be seventy years old and the average female will live to be eighty years old. In twenty-first century, most American have knowledge, technology, a great health care system and clean water. Why isn’t a modern country like America on the top of the “Blue Zones” list? In Dan Buettners (2009) video speech, “How to live to 100+”, He talks about three specific places he called “Blue Zones” where people are living beyond the age of 100.
The gym is relatively square with widows covering half of the room. The other half of the room has a wall of mirrors with the last wall having a hallway to bathrooms as well as the fitness trainer’s office. On one of the window walls it has a row of cardio equipment (that has attached TV’s on them) facing the outside. In the back corner near the cardio equipment is a stretching and body exercise area (kettle bells, mats, exercise balls, medicine balls, and stepping stands). In the center are weight machines that range from leg, arm, and abdominal equipment. The wall with the mirrors contains the free weights and other bench press and weight machines. Overall...
Fredericksburg was established under the guidance of John Meusebach in 1846, caused by the German immigration to escape the political turmoil and economic uncertainty the German people looked for a new start in the new world. Traveling for the first time west towards Fredericksburg I found my breath taken by beauty of the plains and hills that fill the skyline, when I crossed through the road almost carved into the hills surrounding it allowing you to see up close the many different layers in the hill itself. When I reached the town I found myself taken by how small in size and compact the town truly was, though I had been told that it was rather small I thought for as much tourism that it hosts.

Imagine walking into a small, local coffee shop; what is the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe it’s the pungent aroma of coffee beans, or perhaps it is the sound of quiet jazz music playing softly overhead. Perhaps people even appear in this vision. Who are these fellow coffee dwellers, and what is it that they have to say? The answer to this question happens to be quite inspiring.
A child’s proper growth depends greatly on their nutrition and health. A healthy diet is essential to the developing child. Food should never be used to reward, punish, or bribe a child. Instead children should have three healthy meals with snacks in between. It is also important for children to have good self care behaviors (including bathing, washing hands, brushing teeth), and adequate sleep.
I believe that parents, caregivers, or anyone that has contact with a toddler should know about what nutrition they need and why local produce is better for the toddler. I choose toddler’s nutrition because in psychology class, we are studying their development, so something as simple as what fruits and vegetables they eat can affect all points throughout the toddler’s life. In addition, my sister is pregnant so as the aunt of the child, I feel I have the responsibility in helping my younger sister and teaching her nutrition for her baby. After researching, I know that feeding local produce to my niece or nephew when they become toddlers is vital and can, enhance their development. So let’s learn about toddle...
