Yesterday Ezgi and I took a Pilates class from a little old woman who was stronger than both of us. She explained that Pilates is a slow moving type of exercise that is designed to allow the muscles work deliberately and precisely, allowing the participant to concentrate on the motions they are doing. After the class my abs were very swore even though I did not notice them working that hard turning the class. After the class Tom, the head of the raw foods kitchen, had Ezgi and I watch a movie about the health benefits of being vegan. The doctor in the video basically said that protein from animals’ causes cancer and that humans were never suppose to sustain themselves on meat. Furthermore, he claimed that processed food causes cancer and that the only thing people should consume is whole vegetables and some fruits. He talked about a lot of correlation studies about people from different parts of the world and their cancer rates in relation to the amount of meat they consume. Ezgi and I do not really buy his argument but it’s interesting to learn about. While watching the video Ezgi and I used the Chi machine, which is suppose to oxygenate the blood and stir up your energy or something along those lines. Basically you but your ankles on the machine and it shakes you back and forth, neither of us really felt a difference. I also sat in the Center’s sauna for an hour, which is probably not healthy but that’s how long they told me to stay in for. I enjoyed it.
