But what else must one do to be healthy? It’s necessary to stick to some rules to keep your body and mind in proper shape.
We all like tasty food and we stuff ourselves with all kinds of fat food, hamburgers and chips, pizza and hot dogs. But tasty things are not always healthy.
Such food leads to obesity and obesity causes diabetes, heart diseases and other serious health problems. So to avoid this we should give preferences to home-made meals with a lot of fish, lean, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, rough sorts of bread, crops and etc.
Another serious problem of people in modern society is lack of exercise. People are always in a hurry but still they are not physically active. They stay too long in front of computers and TV-sets. One of the ways to solve this problem is to go in for sports or have physical trainings at least three times a week.
Our weak point is bad habits which are smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs. Luckily more and more people nowadays understand how dangerous these habits can be.
Only smoking, for example, kills almost 3 million people each year. The worst thing is that people who live and work with smokers can also suffer from smoke and get lung cancer as well. A positive sign nowadays is that it`s getting more and more widespread to ban smoking in public places.
As for me I try to keep to healthy life style. First of all I am very careful about what I take as food and try to avoid products which contain conserving and preserving components which are very dangerous and can cause illnesses and diseases. Spending long hours in front of my computer is my bad habit so from time to time I force myself to give my body some training. I’m not a sporty type of person but I spend a few hours a week at the stadium jogging. As long as I keep to these simple things I feel well and fit.

Good health is very important for very person. Still, sometimes we get ill, we call a doctor, and he examines us and diagnoses the illness. When we have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold, or a pain in some parts of the body, we call a doctor. He takes our temperature and our pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or the part where we have pain, and tells us what the matter is with us. The doctor prescribes medicine, and gives us a prescription, which we take to the chemist's, who makes up the medicine.
If you follow the doctor's orders, you get better; if you disobey the doctor, you may get worse, and even die. We must obey the doctor, if we want to get better. If we have a temperature, we must stay in bed and take the medicine he prescribes. If we cannot get better at home we must go to hospital. If we are too ill to walk, we go to hospital in the ambulance. After our illness we can go to a sanatorium until we are strong again.
When we have toothache, we go to the dentist's. He examines our teeth, finds the tooth which hurts us, stops or extracts it.
In our country health system incorporates a variety of medical institutions. The medical service is of two kinds. Some state establishments give their employees medical insurance cards. They guarantee the people free of charge medical assistance. Some medical establishments charge fees for treatment. They may be rather high, but our medical service now uses all modern equipment and medicines and provides qualified medical help to all people.

When we have a headache, stomach pain, sore throat, runny nose or pain in some other parts of the body, we call a doctor. It measures temperature and pulse. He examines our heart, our lungs, our stomach or that part of the body where we have pain and tells us what is wrong with us. The doctor prescribes medicine and gives us a prescription, which we take to the pharmacy, which prepares the medicine.
If you follow the doctor's instructions, you will get better, but if you don't listen to the doctor, you can get complications and even die. We must listen to the doctor if we want things to get better. If you have a fever, you should stay in bed and take the medicine he prescribed. If we don't get better at home, we have to go to the hospital. If we are too sick to go, we go to the hospital in an ambulance. After our illness, we can go to a sanatorium to gain strength.
When we have a toothache, we go to the dentist. He examines our teeth, finds the tooth that hurts, fills it or pulls it out.

There is a saying, wealth is nothing without health. And it is true because only healthy people can fully enjoy their life. Healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular nowadays.
My healthy lifestyle
There are 3 main things in my healthy lifestyle: healthy eating, physical exercise and leisure activities. All together these components help me keep my body and mind in good condition.
Healthy eating
Formation of right eating habits is one of the ways to having good health. There are enough fruits, vegetables, meat and fiber in my diet. I avoid overeating and drink plenty of water.
Physical exercise
Our body needs physical exercise. However, that does not imply spending 3 hours in a gym every day. We are all different. Some gruel themselves with heavy muscle-strengthening exercises, for others a short walk is enough. I like swimming and yoga. I also enjoy long walks in the fresh air.
Leisure
While keeping our body healthy, we should not forget about our mind. Having a hobby or involving oneself in different leisure activities helps restore our mental health.
There are different types of leisure activities, from reading books and knitting to hiking and travelling. I recently discovered that I enjoy growing indoor plants and am very attracted by handmade works.
Human health
They say health is more valuable than money. And this is true, because only healthy people can fully enjoy life. Today, a healthy lifestyle is gaining increasing popularity.
My healthy lifestyle
My healthy lifestyle consists of three main components: healthy eating, exercise and rest. Together they help me keep my body and spirit in good condition.
Nutrition
Developing good eating habits is one of the paths to good health. My diet contains adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables, meat and fiber. I avoid overeating and drink a lot of water.
Physical exercise
Our body needs physical activity. However, this does not mean 3 hours of daily training in the gym. We are all different. Some people exhaust themselves with heavy strength exercises, while for others a short walk is enough. I love swimming and yoga. I also like to take long walks outdoors.
Rest
While taking care of our body, we should not forget about mental rest. Hobbies or active recreation help us restore mental health.
There are many different activities, ranging from reading books and knitting to hiking and traveling. More recently, I discovered that I love growing houseplants and am interested in handicrafts.
