Do you know the saying “You are what you eat”? It means that the food you eat today can impact (影响) your health tomorrow. Actually, eating healthy food and practicing weight control can help people stay away from health problems.
However, there are countless wrong ideas about losing weight. Ways that promise quick weight loss are not healthy. Luckily, doctors and experts are helping people understand the right things to do to control their weight. They also give people good advice on how to take care of their bodies. They ask people to eat healthy food that is rich in nutrients (营养物), vitamins (维生素) and minerals (矿物质). However, eating healthily is not the whole story.
Another important thing for keeping a healthy weight is doing exercise. Activities like walking, biking or swimming can make a difference in your weight and overall health.
What’s more, it is necessary to follow a healthy lifestyle. It not only helps people keep a healthy weight but also protects their bodies. One important lifestyle factor (因素) is stress. Stress can lead to overeating, which can further lead to overweight. So, finding healthy ways to manage stress can help you keep a healthy weight. For example, simple breathing exercises and morning exercises help manage stress. Not getting enough sleep is another factor that makes you put on weight. Sleep is important, and at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night can help keep a healthy weight.
Making small changes every day can make a big difference to your health.

【推荐2】My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.

It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.

I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know.

Cristina Zenato, a world-famous shark expert and diver (潜水员), was born in Italy and grew up in Africa until the age of 15. In 1994, she went on a vacation to Grand Bahama and fell in love with both diving and the island. So she decided to make Bahama her home and make diving her life.
Cristina learned to feed sharks when she was a child. In 1996, she became a shark feeder trainer. She created a course that educated divers about the beauty of sharks and the need to protect them and their environment. Through the “shark feeder course”, she has created more shark lovers.
Cristina is talented in communicating with sharks. With just a touch on a shark’s head and face, she can lead it into a state of sleep for 15 minutes. Cristina’s special talent has been used to study shark behavior by scientists. It also helps to save sharks. Cristina still remembers clearly the first time she managed to take out a huge hook (吊钩) from a tiger shark’s mouth. Up to now, she has taken out hundreds of hooks and fishing lines from shark mouths and skin without hurting them. Her work has saved many sharks from possible death.
Cristina has received many prizes and honors for her great work in shark research and protection. She also acted in several films including “Saving the Sharks” by the BBC. Until today, she continues to give speeches around the world.
