HEALTHY WAY OF LIFE

Healthy Way of Life

To become a healthier person, you should follow some rules:

Get a lot of sleep . Sleep is food for the brain. If you sleep little, you will look bad, feel bad and work poorly. Teens need about 9 hours of sleep every night.

Eat healthy food . Healthy eating habits are very important for our health. A balanced diet should include different kinds of products, such as

• Dairy products: milk, cheese, cottage cheese, sour-cream
• Meat: pork, mutton, lamb, poultry, beef
• Fruit: peaches, pineapples, oranges, bananas
• Vegetables: beetroots, cauliflower, peаs, pepper, cabbage, leek, onions
• Grains: bread, wheat, corn, buckwheat

You should try to eat more homemade food and less junk food or fast food. People, who eat fast food, can become overweight. Fast food has a lot of additives, flavorings and preservatives.

Do exercises.  To be healthy and fit a person should exercise more. It’s possible to lose weight and become fitter just doing regular exercises.  You can jog every morning or do stretching exercises in the evening.

Say no to addictions. There are two types of addiction – substance addiction and behavioral addiction. People can become addicted to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sniffing glue or petrol. They can also be addicted to gambling or playing computer games. As for me, I have no bad habits as I understand: the more you care about your health, the longer you will live.

“ Seven Deadly Health Sins“

When the Bible set down the Seven Deadly Sins they were not meant to be taken literally. Few of us will die of pride (гордость), envy or anger. There are, however, modern health sins which are in fact far more deadly.

Two of them – obesity and physical inactivity are known from ancient times .They are joined by the modern bad habits: smoking and drinking too much alcohol , and the surprising ‘danger’ of sleeping too much or too little, eating between meals and skipping breakfast. In combination, these poor health habits could double the chance of dying or lead to different diseases for those who survive.

Of course sleeping too much or too little, snacking and skipping breakfast are not quite as deadly as smoking, obesity and drinking. But they are indicative of dangerously chaotic lifestyles.

Regularity in life promotes your health. Sleeping seven or eight hours , getting up early, eating breakfast, a healthy diet and regular meals is really a good way to live.

• Too little food makes you thin.
• Too much food makes you fat.
• The wrong food makes you ill.
• The right food makes you well.
• Too many sweets are bad for you especially for your teeth.

Don't smoke.

Don’t eat many sweets
