Cadet Spotlight
Rank & Name: C/Amn Chelsea Holder School/Grade: Dallas County High/ 9th grade Family: my dad, Mark; my mom, Brenda; my sister, Brianna Hobbies: reading, volunteering, talking, debating, aerobics Why did you join CAP? A friend told me about it, and it seemed interesting. Although, when I joined, it was nothing like I expected, but Id have to say its better! What do you enjoy most about CAP? Flying! I love it, and also physical training has got me into the athletic thing. I never realized running could actually be enjoyable. What do you want to be/do when you grow up? If I decide not to join the Air Force, I am thinking about being a youth psychologist. How do you think CAP can help you in your future career choice? CAP is teaching me team work and time management, which I believe to be two of the most important attributes in a person. I am also learning about different career choices within the military. Why would you recommend CAP to a friend? I would recommend CAP to a friend because it is a great way to learn about Aerospace Education. Flying is the best part! CAP is also a way to make friends that share your interests.
HEALTH ISSUES
For the next three issues, Lt. Deborah Enriquez, Nurse Officer, will be presenting a threepart series on health issues. Her first article is on bone health.
Be a Bone Builder
You actually build the foundation for a lifetime of strong bone during your teen and young adult years! The amount of bone you can build during these years is your PEAK BONE MASS. This is the strongest your bones will ever be and the way you will want to keep them the rest of your life. So step away from the computer and TV for at least an hour each day this summer. Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. To build strong bones, you've got to do activities that put weight on your bones for at least 20 minutes a day. Remember, all activity that you do is important! You need a total of at least 60 minutes of moderate-hard activity every day, which include at least 20 minutes of bone-building activity. It is important to start early and make a lifelong commitment to daily physical activity. Bone-building activity will not only improve your bone health, but it also increases muscle strength, coordination and balance and leads to better overall health. Activities that work all large muscle groups help bones store calcium. Any bone building activity moves your skeleton against gravity with force and impact. Such activities include walking, hiking, biking, jogging, stair-climbing, tennis and dancing. While daily activity is important and desirable, be aware that excessive exercise can actually endanger growth and development of your bones. Teens who overexercise in combination with strict dieting can increase the risk for weak bones and fractures now and later in life. Moderation is the key, but keep in mind that other exercise benefits could include looking good, feeling good, less stress, more energy, stronger heart, less body fat, less depression, improved academic performance, and some exercise is just plain fun. Be safe, have fun, and enjoy the rest of your summer break!
