Reading Task 2. Read the text and fill in the table below with necessary
information.
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, TV-sets
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.
