Modern life is very chaotic and stressful. That’s why

we should keep to a healthy lifestyle in order not to get depressed and not to

feel bad. A healthy lifestyle consists of active mode of life, healthy diet,

avoiding stress and absence of bad habits.

If you are

active, you feel better. You may go to a gym or a swimming pool, do some other

sport or simply walk more. Sport is a good way to reduce stress and improve

your state of health. It is also possible to exercise or walk with someone.

A diet is also very important. You should eat

regularly and choose fresh and healthy food. It is essential to eat enough

fruit, vegetables, and meat. Don’t eat too much sugar or consume sweet fizzy

drinks. Sugar affects your heart and can’t fill you for a long time.

Finally, you should try to avoid stress or at least

take it easy and don’t be too nervous. Nervousness has a negative impact on our

health and causes many diseases. So do the bad habits. Smoking and drinking too

much alcohol can be very harmful.

Thus, it is not

so difficult to lead a healthy life. It may become your good habit. As soon as

you improve your quality of life, regulate your diet and physical exercises,

you will see good results and feel yourself much better.

One day, about a year after Tom had retired, when I stayed/was staying (оба варианта верны) with Tom's brother, he said:  “Let's go and see old Tom I haven't seen him for a long time. He will be happy to see us”. When we came up to his place. Tom was sitting outside the oldcarriage which he  had got as a present on his retirement, smoking his pipe in the heavy rain “Why on earth you are sitting there? Why don't you go inside the carriage out of the rain?" "But it's a non-smoking carriage,” he answered.
