1 . Because of better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live about thirty-five years longer than someone who was born in the nineteenth century. It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthdays. Here are some rules for a healthy life.

Get off the sofa!

Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?

Eat healthy food!

It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.

Rest while you can!

When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.

Do not worry. Be happy!

Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.

2 . There may be something in your food that you can’t see or smell. But it could be killing you. It’s called trans fat (反式脂肪). It is added to our food and causes more than 500,000 deaths every year.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to develop a plan to help countries remove trans fat from people’s food in the next five years. Trans fat is usually added to vegetable oil. Food makers use this low-priced oil to make food stay fresh longer. It can be found in food such as cakes, fried food and soon. Studies have found that trans fat increases the risk of heart disease.

“Some countries have been stopping trans fat from being used, such as Denmark and a few states in the US. And it’s really important that governments around the world change trans fat for healthier oil.” said Frieden, the head of a public health organization.

The WHO asks governments of other countries to do the same. Where trans fat hasn’t been used, heart attacks and deaths from heart disease have dropped greatly.

The WHO’s plan calls on governments to take some steps. They include trans fat for healthier oil, letting the public realize trans fat can have a bad influence on people’s health, and carrying out the laws which are against trans fat.

If people stop eating food made with trans fat, more than 17 million lives could be saved over the next 25 years.

3 . Early to bed and early to get up makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.     1     It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we like that, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever. Is this true? Perhaps it is.

    2    . Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early you cannot have enough sleep. Then you cannot think properly and you cannot do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy.

Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark(黑暗的).The dark helps us sleep well.   

    3    .This is the time for exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.     4     .This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies. The brains(大脑)in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy and take exercise, we can think better.

    5     Without air, we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have a lot of clean and fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

4 . Almost every day, we talk about health. But what is health? Health means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a right weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help you keep healthy.

Eat different kinds of food. Many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get what we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.

Drink water more often. Everyone knows that water is important. We should try to drink more water and less sugary (含糖的) drinks.

Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels full, stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.

You should spend less time on the computer and TV. Try to spend more time doing outdoor activities, such as playing basketball, walking and swimming. We should do exercise for at least 140 minutes every week according to the World Health Organization.

Tell your parents and friends about these rules. Let them have a healthy life.

5 . Do you like sunny days or cloudy days? Most people like sunny days because good weather can make them feel good. Weather can affect people’s feelings. It can also affect our study and work.

Here are some good ideas to help us keep good feelings.

Scientists say spinach (菠菜) and pumpkins can help people keep good feelings.

People near the sea are healthy and have good feelings, because there is a beautiful sea and clean air. But the main reason is that people there often eat fish as their “food”.

Fruit is good for people’s health, and it can also make people happy.

Whole-wheat bread or other whole-wheat food can help people fight against sad feelings.

If you feel not so good some day, why not have a try?
