Healthy lifestyle
Today healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular both with the old and the
young. People have become more health-conscious. They say that the greatest wealth is health.
And it’s so true. The healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live.
Keeping fit and going in for sports is also important for our health. Lack of exercise in
our life is a serious problem. In big cities people spend hours sitting in front of computers, TVsets and other gadgets. We walk less because we mainly use cars and public transport. We
certainly don’t have to be professional sportsmen, but we should visit fitness clubs, go jogging,
walk much, swim, go cycling or roller-skating or just dance. Doctors say that regular moderate
physical activity is necessary for our body because it protects us from strokes and heart diseases,
flue and obesity.
We must understand the harm of bad habits for our health. Smoking, drinking or taking drugs
mean serious illnesses and even death from lung cancer or liver diseases, for instance. Cigarettes
kill about 3 million heavy-smokers every year. Drug addicts die very young. So I think there is
no place for bad habits in a healthy way of life.
Taking a proper rest and getting enough sleep, from 8 to 10 hours daily, are also great
healthy habits. Sleep is the food for our brain and the rest for our muscles. Moreover we should
avoid getting nervous or worried for no reason.
Healthy way of life concerns our body, mind and soul. Healthy people live longer, they are more
successful and they enjoy their life. I believe that it’s not difficult at all to follow these simple
rules, and they are worth it.
