Would you like to take a sit?

This is the second OP . In this case we have chosen to talk about a topic that has a great deal of importance in our western society. Taking a rest, sitting down, or simply watching the televition for a too long period of time may be very hazzarous for our health. 

This OP, deals with 2 different ways of viewing the problem. A sciencetific posture, which by the analysis of lots of data available concludes that sedentarism is not harfull but a key factor that promotes heart problems in the future. In the other hand, a broadsheet posture on the topic, that states a more generalistic idea of the topic, a bit careless in details but very informative at the same time. 

We have chosen  this topic mainly because we live in a very sedentary society, and we should be aware of the negative consecuences this illness can bring to our life. We hope youl all enjoy our presentation.

The Great East Japan Earthquake and Cardiovascular Deseases

We know you might get scared because of a tremor, or an earthquake, but did you know about the real impact this natural event can have on humankind?
A group of researchers, led by the Dr. Hiroaki Shimokawa explains how natural disasters can affect our heart, causing cardiovascular deseases.
He used The Great East Japan Earthquake (2011) as a reference to conduct a study, providing impresive figures about the rising of people that suffered from different kinds of cardiovascular desease after the earthquake.
Is important to say that in terms of natural disasters, Japan is not too different to Chile, so take a look to our presentation and draw your own conclusions.
