How to be healthy and fit.
Everybody wants to be in good shape. As many people are busy, they do not have much time to think of their own body. They think if they feel good, they do not have to do anything for their health. Yet if they take care of themselves now, it will benefit them in the future and help them to retain their fitness.
Doing sport is very useful. While playing it we work with all our body, every muscle and part of our body is trained. What is more, we accustom our bodies to effort. The best place to do sport is outdoors. Oxygen comes into our brain. This is particularly important for those who have to learn a lot, or work intellectually.
It is good to avoid some kinds of food. We should not eat too many sweets and dishes containing fat. We should avoid cholesterol and we should not drink too many drinks containing caffeine. Our diet should contain as much fruit as possible, lots of vegetables and dishes containing vitamins. We should also drink fruit juices and mineral water, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol which will ruin our health and our body. Smokers are physically weaker and less immune to diseases, as their lungs get big doses of nicotine every day; so are the people who drink alcohol, their alimentary canals are in danger, and therefore, they can get sick easier than non-drinking people.
There are quite a few things to do for ourselves if we want to stay healthy and fit. These things take time and require strong will. But maybe it is worth the sacrifice. In twenty years we will appreciate the results of our efforts, we will be proud of ourselves and definitely more fit than those people who did nothing for themselves in the past.
