Cupcakes

Hi, welcome back to another blog post and today I am sharing with you some cupcakes that I made in class before lockdown. First, we made the cupcakes on a Thursday afternoon by following a recipe step by step working as a group I think my group works pretty well we all contributed by all getting out all the ingredients and baking.

the next Friday morning, we iced the cupcakes each group got to choose what flavour icing and colour my group chose raspberry flavoured icing and pink coloured. We also got to decorate our cupcakes with m&ms and liquorice.

The cupcakes smelt and tasted amazing I even made more in the holidays.

I hope you enjoyed another blog

The cardio_vascular system

                            

 The Cardio-Vascular system 

What does the heart look like? The human heart is about the size of a fist. Because the heart is a muscle with lots of blood supplied to it, it looks red like meat In people who are overweight the heart looks yellow because it is covered with yellow fat.

Why do we need blood to be pumped around the body? The purpose of your heart is to pump blood to the organs and tissues of your body that need the oxygen and nutrients it carries. Oxygen-rich blood is pumped out of the left side of your heart

What is blood pressure? The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.

Why does your pulse increase when you exercise? When you are exercising, your muscles need extra oxygen—some three times as much as resting muscles. This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse. Meanwhile, your lungs are also taking in more air, hence the harder breathing

Well-being assessment

                              Wellbeing assessment 

The concepts and areas of Hauora: 

Physical wellbeing (Taha tinana)

• Physical wellbeing is about keeping fit and making sure that you’re healthy. 
• For example, you can stay fit and healthy by going on a walk every day and eating healthy foods like fruit and vegetables. 

Mental & Emotional wellbeing (Taha hinengaro)

• Mental and emotional wellbeing is about learning to cope with the normal stresses of life by having a healthy mindset.
• For example, you can do something that you enjoy to help relieve your stress.

Social wellbeing (Taha whanau) 

• Social wellbeing is about spending time with friends and family often.
• For example, you can meet up with your friends or family to catch up. 

Spiritual wellbeing (Taha wairua)

• Spiritual wellbeing is about knowing what your belives are and understanding the meaning of life.
• For example, you can set achievable goals and stick to them.

                                                Whare tapa wha 

The whare tapa wha has for equal walls, this symbolizes the four dimensions of Maori well/being, these are physical wellbeing (Taha tinana), mental & emotional wellbeing (Taha hinengaro), social wellbeing (Taha whanau) and spiritual wellbeing (Taha wairua). All these dimensions of well-being are interrelated as if one of them gets affected they can all become affected. For example, if someone was going through a tough time mentally this would effect there mental and emotional well-being, this could cause them to self isolate from others which would have a negative effect on their social well-being. This could cause depression or sadness which can make a person become unmotivated to do anything, this would mean that the spiritual wellbeing and physical wellbeing would be affected because if they are unmotivated they won’t want to complete their goals also causing them to not feel like getting out and doing any physical activity 

Effects and impacts on wellbeing 

Scenario 3- Mia and Anna spent loads of time with their cousins over the holidays. While they were at their cousin’s house, they found a vape. The girls are curious and try it even though they are really scared that they will get caught.

Physical wellbeing: 

Mia and anna could become addicted to vaping as vapes contain nicotine which is an addictive drug, this could have a major impact on their overall health.

This could negatively affect their health as vaping has many physical effects on a person, low doses of nicotine can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and eye irritation and  High doses of nicotine can cause high blood pressure, seizures, coma, and even death. 

This impacts their physical well-being as vaping negatively affects someone’s health. Vaping effects the lungs negatively and if they continue to vape they will find doing any physical activity difficult. 

Strategies to support Physical wellbeing:

1. They could give the vape to a responsible adult, this would mean they no longer have the vape and therefore they won’t be able to use it so they don’t have access to the vape which prevent them vaping and effecting their physical wellbeing with the short term and long term effects of vaping.
2. They could do their research on vaping to help them understand that vaping has many negative short terms and long term effects on the body. 

Mental & Emotional wellbeing (Taha hinengaro)

They could feel guilt and regret trying the vape. This is because they know they did something bad and it may be weighing on there mind. They also know that they did something wrong and are trying to hide what they did. This would impact there mental and emotional wellbeing because they feel guilt and regret which could end up being long term and make them feel unmotivated and sad.

Strategies to support mental & emotional wellbeing

1.  They can confess what they did to make them stop feeling guilty about what they have done.
2. Talk to a trusted parent or counselor to get any unwanted emotions off their chest. 

Social wellbeing (Taha whanau) 

If parents/ caregivers find out there may be punishments including 

getting grounded and not being able to hang out with friends they might not b able to hang out with each other or be allowed to go back to the cousin’s house where the found the vape. Another possible effect could be them losing friends as some people might no longer ant to associate themselves with people who vape. This is because their parents won’t want them to be around the wrong influence and some people won’t want to hang out with them again as they don’t want to be negatively influenced by them. This would impact their social wellbeing as they may lose friends this will affect her negatively as it will make them feel lonely and sad.

Strategies to support social wellbeing:

1. The first strategy to support social wellbeing is to apologize for their mistakes this will help their parents and friends understand that they realize what they did was wrong which will increase their chances of forgiving them and will more likely be able to hang out with them again
2.  Another strategy to support their social wellbeing is to distance themselves from the people who may be having a negative influence on them, this will make them a better person overall. People want to be friends with others who positively influence them so even though they might be losing some of their old friends they will be able to make new ones. 

Spiritual wellbeing (Taha wairua)

If they become addicted to vaping it will endanger their spiritual development this could cause them to stop believing in previous beliefs they may have had it can also cause them to become unmotivated to do things as vaping may take over the majority of their life. This will impact there spiritual well-being as they may not be motivated to set and accomplish goals, also if they follow a religion it could affect their beliefs or impact their opinions on things. 

Strategies to support spiritual wellbeing:

1. They should stop vaping before the start so they won’t have to suffer the long term spiritual effects of vaping.
2. Try goal setting and find something to focus on to increase their self worth and integrity.
