Progress 14/07/2010

Still keeping in theme with studying only about specific topics once at a time. However, 'a dieta' is also related to 'a saúde'[health] e 'as doenças'[illnesses] that come with having a bad diet. Using itunes I came across a podcast called alimentaçao saudável which is entirely in Portuguese and which has some diet specific podcasts. I've currently listened to one called 'Dietas detox' and trying to download 'Uma dieta contra a envelhecimento' [A diet against aging] but it's not letting me do it at the moment.

Also read a few articles on 'A dieta japonesa', '4 razoes para não ganhar peso' [4 reasons to not gain weight] and 'Comer chocolate faz mal à saúde?' [Is eating chocolate bad for you?].

Learnt some new vocabulary and some new sentence constructions. I plan on taking a note of them so that if I lose motivation during this stage, there will be proof that I am improving.

Some diet/health related vocabulary:

Desintoxicar - To detox
Fazer uma boa dieta - to have a good diet
Exercitar-se - to exercise
Malhar - to work out
Fazer mal à saúde - to be bad for your health

O adoçante - Sweetener
O açúcar - Sugar
O estilo de vida - Lifestyle
A escala - Scales
O sangue - Blood
O metabolismo - Metabolism
O colesterol - Cholesterol
A diabetes - Diabetes


And some vocabulary less relevant to the topic:
A pressão arterial - Blood pressure
Os flavonóides - Flavanoids
A coagulação - Coagulation
A fadiga - Fatigue
O fluxo sanguíneo - Blood flow
A tensão pre-menstrual - Pre-menstrual tension
O ataque cardíaco - Heart attack
O envelhecimento - Aging
A estrutura óssea - Bone structure

Also, on another note. I've managed to get to 1000 vocabulary and 500 sentences in anki.
