People nowadays are more health-conscious than they used to be. They understand that good health is above wealth. To be healthy we should avoid different bad habits that can affect our health. In my opinion, smoking and drinking too much alcohol, are the worst ones. It's common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives dramatically. Smoking, for example, causes a number of heart and lung diseases, such as pneumonia, emphysema and cancer. Besides, it makes your teeth yellow and skin unhealthy. Fortunately, in recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer people smoke nowadays. Some companies don't employ people who are smokers. Smoking has been banned in most public places because everyone agrees it does harm to our health. I don't smoke, because I don't want to have unhealthy skin and teeth and die young. Smoking and drinking are joined by less dangerous habits, such as skipping meals, eating unhealthy food, or even overeating. Of course, they are not quite as deadly as smoking or drinking alcohol, but they also affect our health. If we eat too much, we'll become obese, and obesity leads to serious health problems. A lot of people like drinking coca cola and coffee, and enjoy pizzas and hamburgers. But what is tasty is not always healthy. Fast food makes you fat, that's why Americans are the fattest people in the world.
Many people feel they are too fat, even if their doctors disagree. And a lot of people try to improve their fitness. There are a lot of ways to lose weight and avoid gaining it. Perhaps the most popular of them is following a diet. If you want to lose weight, you should cut out snacks and desserts, and cut down on fat. People have also become more aware of calories, the energy value of food. Some people count the number of calories they eat every day; so that they can try to take in fewer calories and lose weight. This is called a calorie-controlled diet. Manufacturers are increasingly producing special foods with fewer calories for slimmers.
To my mind, the only way to stay healthy and to keep fit is by going in for sports. Among the benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, stronger bones, quicker reaction times and more resistance to various illnesses. Besides, you can eat and drink as much as you want because you are burning it all off. To be healthy, it is also very important to spend a lot of time in the open air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed, or to air the room. I think it is very important to be fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health. Being fat, in fact, can cause real problems. It is harder for fat people to get a good job, or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. That's why I go in for sports on a regular basis. I have been doing aerobics for three years and I feel great. I am not enthusiastic about strict dieting, but I try to eat only low-fat food, and fruit and vegetables which are rich in vitamins. Personally I believe that regularity in life promotes our health. Sleeping eight or nine hours, getting up early, regular meals, a healthy diet and going in for sports is really a good way to live Vegetables and Fruits The food we like to eat that grows Apples and oranges and peaches are fruits, Здоровый образ жизни
Желание казаться старше, стремление подражать взрослым, любопытство способствуют тому, что многие подростки начинают курить. Негативное воздействие никотина на организм человека. Курение приводит к слишком серьезным (а иногда и смертельным) последствиям для здоровья человека. В настоящее время во многих странах борьба с курением набирает силу. Курить стало немодно. Этот тезис внушается газетами, телевидением, другими средствами массовой информации. Во многих странах Европы и США разработаны национальные программы по борьбе с курением, запрещается курить в общественных местах, на рабочих местах. Материально поощряются некурящие работники. Быть здоровым и красивым стало престижным, а здоровье и успешная карьера плохо совместимы с употреблением алкоголя и курением. Поэтому немало молодых людей выбирают занятия спортом, рациональное питание и интересные увлечения Употребление алкоголя — также массовое явление, связанное с такими социальными категориями, как традиции и обычаи, с одной стороны, и общественное мнение и мода — с другой. Потребление алкоголя в определенные исторические времена принимало разные формы: религиозный обряд, метод лечения, элемент человеческой «культуры». Тысячелетняя алкогольная практика тем не менее превратилась в обычай. В отличие от моды обычай действует более долговременно. Став обычаем и модой, алкоголизация традиционно передается из поколения в поколение. Семья в этой «эстафете» играет первостепенную роль. Специальными социологическими исследованиями установлено, что первое приобщение к алкоголю учащихся 8-10-х классов в 78% случаев происходит под влиянием родителей и родственников.
Наше здоровье в наших собственных руках. Мы должны понять, что выжить в современном мире по силам только здоровым людям, поэтому надо беречь самое ценное, что у нас есть.
