In the section of bettering your mental health, I have was able to learn a lot of helpful information that I am actually currently practicing on myself. I was able to clearly understand what actually happens to your body when you exercise.
I watched the video called "This is what REALLY happens as you start exercising (animated", which focused on exploring the changes to your body's physic, muscle, mind and heart. From that video I was able to understand why exercising makes you less depressed, more happy and motivated which is because of the hormones that are released when doing exercises. I also learned how exercising is helpful when battling depression, insomnia, memory loss, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Exercising gives your body serotonin, endorphins and proteins. Right now I am in the process of trying to workout as much as I can. Using my apple watch to track my calories and activity time has been a motivation because I can see my effort put into effect. Learning about what happens to your body when exercising is something that I will now hold on to since everything is starting to make sense.
According to that video, you will live longer if you exercise than an individual who doesn't and also life will come out to be less expensive since you won't have to make as much doctor visits or spend money on being medicine or unhealthy food.
Today I learned about the term REITs. REITs stands for Real Estate Investment Trusts.
REITs are traded in markets, it’s similar to the stocks concept Since equity REITs are publicly traded. The two most common are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq.
“They are trusts who’s portfolio’s investors can invest in by buying shares of the companies’ portfolio. REITs are interesting for investors as they provide a less hands on investment experience for those interested in purchasing real estate.” This is because by investing in a REIT, you are investing in a company which manages and purchases real estate. You, in turn, as an investor will be paid through dividends.
For example, REITs can be traded in the application called Robinhood. I personally have Robinhood and the term of dividends is something I recently learned because I received dividends from the company called “VOO” (Vanguard S&P 500 EFT” for having their shares.
Now that I have learned the term REITs I’m going to look into it using the Robinhood and hopefully investing in it because getting dividends is a huge plus!
Today I learned more about the concept of Robotics. A robotic product refers to functional objects that can be interrelated physically and are powered by custom electronics or programmable microcontroller. The market for for robotic products are primarily individuals interested in DIY (do-it-yourself) environment. The other main market the educational side which tends to be commonly more for older kids.
According to the main description of a robotic product, “The basic principle of a robotic product is that it monitors various types of inputs and uses that info to determine what it should output. This most-basic of inputs include pushing a button or turning a knob, or sensors for light, temperature or distance. The resulting outputs can include lighting up an LED, activating a motor to create movement, displaying something on a screen or generating a sound.”
