Addictions

Drugs of abuse. Wow. I'm not so familiar with that, but i have some family members who are. I have two cousins drug addicts.
I I have never had experience with this type of drugs but I do know the effects that these they bring. For example
 Cannabis: The effects will vary according to the kind (cannabis sativa, cannabis indica)  and ratio of cannabis ingredients within the plant species. Their abuse may range from memory lapses, silliness, loss of motivation, paranoid thoughts, light-headedness to low hormone production.
Hallucinogens, largely obtained from cacti and fungi, impair depth perception, cause hallucinations, panic attacks, paranoia...
Inhalants, such as household chemicals, eg, neoprene, are not intended for human consumption and cause light-headedness, giggling, loss of motor control...
Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite—intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug. 
Long-term effectt: Permanent damage to blood vessels of heart and brain, High blood pressure, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and death, liver, kidney and lung damage, destruction of tissues in nose if sniffed, Respiratory failure if smoked, Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected, Malnutrition, weight loss, Severe tooth decay, Auditory and tactile hallucinations, Sexual problems, reproductive damage and infertility (for both men and women), Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion, Irritability and mood disturbances, Increased frequency of risky behavior, Delirium or psychosis, Severe depression, Tolerance and addiction (even after just on)
Finally i think that everything un excess is bad, my advice is to be careful about the things they consume, who offers them and how they are offered. as my mother told me, you have to learn to say no.

Our amazing human body

The human body is wonderful, in every sense and with all its parts. There are many parts of the body, many substances, etc. that catch my eye, but there is one specific that I find hallucinating. Hormones, specifically, insulin. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets, and it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells. When glucose concentrations in the blood are high, the pancreatic β cells secrete insulin into the blood; when glucose levels are low, secretion of insulin is inhibited. The most known illness that can happen due to a low insulin is diabetes. Diabetes can happen for too more reasons, including a failure of pancreas, which leads to secrete a low amount of insulin or almost nothing. I'm so interested in this hormone because my mon has diabete...

Getting to know each other

Hi everyone!  My name is Camila Alvarez, I'm 19 years old. I live in Maipu with my mother, my stepfather, my two cats and my four dogs.... yes, I have too many pets. But I was born in Clinical Hospital of University of Chile ( J.J. Aguirre), Independencia. I study Biochemistry at the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science Faculty of University of Chile. I chose it because I love science, and i think i can change the world with that. I don't have much hobbies but I really like dance, play the piano and the guitar. Sometimes with my parents choose a song and we play it, usually my mom sings, my stepfather play the guitar and I play the piano. It’s really funny, I love it, I love them. I've four half-sisters, all younger than me. I love spending time with them, helping them with the school, etc. I enjoy that so much because I’m a only child and I ALWAYS WANT BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Well, this is me and my special life.

Your favourite piece of technology

Since I was a child I liked music, listening to music and playing it.  I play some instruments, but the instrument that I most like to play is the piano, that's why it's my favourite piece of technology. When I was 9 years old my mom gave me a piano, and I learned to play it at the school in the 5th grade, with my teacher's help of course. But it was only that year, then I started to practice on my own, so almost everything I know about play the piano its of my own. Now I love to play the piano, and I do it for different things. Sometimes when I feel sad or angry I like to play a song on the piano, I feel it's like my therapy. Or sometimes my mom wants me to learn a song for her and then she sings it. Or sometimes just I like a song and I wants to play it on piano. I think that my life without piano will be terrible, as I said before, play the piano it's like my therapy, it's where I express what I feel and I don't imagine my life without it. PS: ...
