Monounsaturated fats, such as avocados, olive oil and nuts keep the heart healthy and lower cholesterol.

Natural foods may not be healthier than others, as they can still contain high levels of sugar, salt, or saturated fats.

Brown sugar is not necessarily healthier than white sugar, as it has the  same calories and health risks of white sugar, including increased risk of heart disease, tooth decay and obesity.

since you're in class the whole day, you will need a powerful machine to work with. 

Headphones
you can easily keep your focus with headphones that block out all the outside distractions.

Pencil or a pen
you might need a pencil since your teacher might tell you to draw, or write notes, anything that requires you using a pen

Some extra paper
if you have a pen, then its best if you have a piece of paper too, because what are you going to write on? a table?

Charger
chargers are for when your laptop/device is low on battery. so you charge it while in class so you won't run out of battery.

Since you are not face-to-face with your teacher, and you'll have to keep yourself on track, a tidy learning space can help you keep yourself on track.

How to keep your learning space tidy is that:

You can clean all the rubbish (if you have any) on your learning space.

You can find all the things you need for the day, and put them next to you.

You can organise all the files/workbooks/pieces of paper (if you have any).

But if you want your learning space to look aesthetic:

You could always add some colour to your learning space.

You could always match your learning space with your surroundings.

You could always add some plants next to you so it looks more aesthetic and at the same time, nature.

You could always add some pictures to your learning space.

Having a clean learning space also makes it aesthetically pleasing.]]> 2020-06-03 01:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wongca2/dvnuaqvxo3l78tc1/wish/607940730 What kind of stationary should you keep near your learning space tsanghn1 https://padlet.com/wongca2/dvnuaqvxo3l78tc1/wish/607941221 Since you are at home, on a device and calling your teachers, your stationary or supplies won't be provided.

If you touch your nose, your eyes, your mouth, your ears, the rest of your face or open wounds with hands that haven't been cleaned or are contaminated, you are running the risk of allowing viruses and germs to enter your body and infect you.

How to wash your hands properly:
1. Use some water to wet your hands
2. Apply an appropriate amount of soap that will cover all surfaces of your hands
3. Rub hands from palm to palm
4. Place one hand on top of the other hand, interlacing the fingers, rub back and forth, then switch the hand on top.
5. Interlock your fingers and rub the back of your fingers.
6. Rub one thumb in a rotational motion, then switch hands.
7. Rub the fingertips of one hand on the other hand's palm, then switch hands.
8. Rub your wrists.
8. Rinse hands with water.
9. Dry hands thoroughly with a paper towel (any bacteria that remains spreads more easily on wet hands)
10. Use the paper towel to turn off the faucet.

It acts as a physical barrier to droplets and fluids. Most surgical masks that many people use have three layers: the outer layer repels fluids, the middle layer to prevent germs, and the inner layer to absorb moisture.

How to wear a mask properly:
1. Position the mask so that the nose clip is at the top and the ear loops are at the side.
2. Place the ear loops around your ear.
3. Press the nose clip to fit the bridge of your nose.
4. Pull down the bottom of the mask to fully cover your chin.

The first consists of eyelashes, mucus etc. When that doesn't work, white blood cells come in. Phagocytes ingest pathogens, while lymphocytes release antibodies that attach to the antigen of a pathogen and destroys it.

Ways to boost the immune system:
1. Do not smoke.
2. Have a balanced diet that is high in fruits and vegetables which will provide a variety of vitamins and minerals.
3. Maintain a healthy weight.
4. Drink less alcohol.
5. Maintain proper hygiene - including washing hands frequently.
6. Cook raw food thoroughly to kill bacteria.
7. Decrease stress.

Has a learning space that is comfortable for them to learn in

Has an engaging environment

Having a learning space that doesn't distract them from working

Having a workspace, where you don't need to get up and walk a lot to get your supplies. (the supplies should already be near you)
