Text: Healthy way of life.
Health is better than wealth. If a person is healthy and strong, he can move mountains. Healthy life includes sport and exercises, fresh air, positive moodand healthy food. There are products rich in vitamins and minerals. For example, we get vitamin A from fish, butter and carrots. Vitamin A is necessary for our eyes. Iron is important for our blood and you can find it in meat, eggs and spinach. Dairy products contain a lot of calcium which promotes growth of healthy bones and teeth. When you have a cold you need products rich in vitamin C. The next vital component of our every day meal is water.
To feel full of energy we ought to have small snacks frequently throughout the day. Besides, do not forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Lack of exercise is another serious problem. We spend hours in front of our computers and TV-sets. Few of us do morning exercises. We walk less, because we prefer to use cars or public transport. Research shows, that young people who don't take enough exercise often suffer from heart attacks.
It's common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives. Cigarette-smoking, for example, kills about 3 million people every year. Many of them die from lung cancer. Some aren't smokers! They are people who live or work with heavy smokers. Yet many people smoke and drink. Why? One answer is that tobacco and drinks companies invest enormous sums of money in advertising their products. For them cigarettes and alcoholic drinks mean money. For us they mean disease and even death.
We all know that the healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live. So why not take care of ourselves?
