We always discuss about health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help us stay healthy.
Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, we should drink at least three cups of milk (1,300 milligrams of calcium) when we are 9 years old or older. We should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of added sugar. Sugar just adds calories (卡路里), not important nutrition.
Listen to our body. When we are eating, notice how our bodies feel. When our stomachs feel comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes us feel uncomfortable. If we do it too often, it can make us unhealthy and fat.
Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time we spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time we spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time we spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

【推荐3】Teenagers believe anything is possible if they study hard. But they often forget to think about healthy diets, enough sleep time and exercise. In fact, these things are really important for them to keep fit.
It is important for teenagers to get enough energy. Teenage girls need about 2,200 calories a day while boys need a bit more-doctors suggest 2,800 for teenage boys. 50% of their calories should come from healthy food-rice, vegetables and fruit. People often say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Teenagers also need to drink a lot of water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. Drinking enough water will improve their skin.
Teenagers usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but many Chinese teenagers do not get enough sleep. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, teenagers seem to be weaker than they should be. Too much homework is not the only reason why teenagers stay up late. Some watch TV or play computer games late into the night. Teenagers should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, but they are able to work well in class.
Exercise is something that can help them. Experts suggest that teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising a day, five times a week. They will feel relaxed when they exercise. It can even help them sleep better at night.

【推荐1】After graduating from middle school, many students grow very fast, especially boys. And the teachers have to look up at their faces to show love for them. Why do they grow so fast?
Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then perhaps you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting enough sleep and exercise will help you grow to the right height.
No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 5 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty（when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up. ）
Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

The summer is coming, and storms (暴风雨) often happen. Though they often happen, some people don't take them seriously (认真地). In fact, it's very dangerous for people and it can even make people die at once.
So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm (雷暴)?
If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don't take a shower or do any dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. I learnt that in a hard way, and my computer was broken. Never use the phone. Lightning can travel through the phone line and hit you.
If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter (避雨) under a tree, because the lightning can hit the tree and travel through the tree to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal (金属). Try to get into your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away. If there's no building around, try to find a low place to stay in.Squatdown near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.
