V

I try to take care of my health. First of all, I never overeat. Extra food means extra weight and this is bad for health. Besides I try to take more fresh vegetables and fruit, that contain many vitamins and useful minerals. Sometimes instead of vegetables and fruit I drink freshly made juice. As usual I prefer to eat frequently but a little at a time. Doctors say it’s good for health. Of course, I often find time to take a walk and spend more time in the fresh air. This helps me to stay well and not to catch cold. I also try to avoid contact with sick people not to catch an infection from them. I certainly do fall from time to time but I recover quite fast.
