TAP WATER

Tap water in Dominican Republic is a serious  issue. The water system in this country is really bad and inefficient. We have lack of water and bad pipes, in some places the people can wait days even week to get water in their houses.
we have to buy water for everything no only for drink. I think is next to  imposible to drink water tap water in this country, unless  you want to die or something because is evident that this water is contaminated also you can see things floating and color and others things in the water but tap water is no the only problem when you buy a bottled  water you are no sure about the quality of this water.

OLDERS PEOPLE

                                              Olders People

Hello teacher Atilano I am Mr Wagner Crispin Perez, and this is my coment about Oldest people.
I think longevity is depend on the form that people lives and the nutrition because if a person dont have a good nutrition he o her couldnt have a long life.
 I have an example about my father who past away last year with 114 years old. He had a lot of money and good admophere also a good nutrition, I think that helped him to live so long time.

Tap Water in the Dominican Republic


Water is one of the most importants services for the population ,it not a secret that our life depend on water .we have many difficulties for obtain it.
In the Dominican Republic there are some problems with this ,in my case  i would  say  the most importants aspects  are:
Quality (not secure because people can get sick  for bacteria , parasites ,etc).
Accesibility (There are some places where people have  no  access ).
Many of these problems are responsability of the government like ,quality, accesibility and quantity, Other are responsablility  of the population , for example there are  people that spent  much water

THE OLDEST OLD "CENTENARIANS"

-When we hear about "centenarians" we always have different perceptions virtually: How did they become aging? -How do they got that longevity in those years ?

*Life expectancy in the United States has increased from 49 years, at the start of this century to 76 years.

- Researchers want to find out why "Oldest Old" are living more now, and they want to discover their secret to living longer.

            
              *To add a few years to your life adopt these*

           ~Stay active --> Physically & Mentally.
I agreed with that, because an active body & an active mind, help to prevent demented in old age.

           ~Do not react to stress with excessive worry.
(People who learn to laugh at themselves stay healthy longer.)

*Something that really surprised me about "Oldest Old" is that they don't have a balance diet, some of them have a highest calor intact.
 I don't understand how they can survive on diet that is high in fat, and drinking alcohol; but others are finicky with everything they put in their mouth*.

-How long we live is GENETICALLY determined. (Brothers of centenarians are likely to live to 100 as are people without 100 years-old in the family.)

That's not my case, and of course I won't want to live 100 or over, because most of centenarians have had many losses, and I don't want to see family members and close peers dying.

*im not a centenarian but I think you have to : Eat well, Move often, Keep up with your hobbies, Read and LOVE LIFE.

Water

Hello!! I'm going to talk about me concerning to water. When it comes to drinking water, I'm a little finicky, I don't like all kind of "drinking water". I don't check my drinking water fills all the requirements, but when I have to choose my drinking water I try to choose what I think is the best. however when I am too thirsty I'm not too choosy, but if the water doesn't taste good for me, I just take a sip until I can get a better one.

When I taste water I don't like to taste chlorine or other chemicals, I like my drinking water to be clear- and clean of curse- I like the words "crystal water". I might not be too finicky, but surely I'm kind of finicky haha!!
