2 . We have to accept the truth: Sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn’t come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We might be really angry but we tried to tolerate things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom (至理名言), we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping quiet. In fact, it’s good for our health.
“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine.” said Mrs. Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “My parents taught me to do this. It’s a part of our folk (民俗的) culture.”
Mrs. Li is a member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to the top of a hill and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs (肺) and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shout out and others shout back,” said Mrs. Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.”
Dr. Peter Calafiura, an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people’s health.
So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.

The Healthy Food Pyramid(金字塔) is a simple guide to the types and proportion(比例) of foods that we should eat every day for good health. It contains the four main food groups, according to how much they contribute to a balanced diet based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
The bottom layers make up the largest part of the Pyramid because plant foods should make up the largest part of our diet—around 70% of what we eat! Plant foods contain a lot of nutrients(营养物) like vitamins and minerals(矿物质). Older children, teens and adults should aim to have at least 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day. The middle layer includes the milk, yoghurt, cheese, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and legumes(豆类) food groups. Foods in the milk, yoghurt, cheese primarily provide us with calcium and protein(钙和蛋白质), plus other vitamins and minerals. These foods are our main sources of protein. But each food also provides a unique mix of nutrients, including iron, zinc, B12 vitamins and healthy fats. We should aim to have a variety of animal and plant-based choices from this food group. The top layer refers to healthy fats. We need small amounts of healthy fats every day to support heart health and brain function.
Two more healthy suggestions. Water is the best drink and cooking your own meals at home and choosing minimally processed foods will help limit added salt and sugar.
