I am sure that whoever we are; student, teacher, parents, or manager,
always have many activities in our life, from studying for
our examinations, to managing our own company. In order to do these activities,
we need many things, including health. Health is a condition
where there are no obstacles of someone’s body and mind to function properly. Here are some tips from me to keep a healthy life. These steps may be common to us, but it is good to
apply them in our life.
First, watch our food comsumption. We should eat
regularly, three times a day and make sure that our daily nutrient needs are
fulfilled. The nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and
minerals. Food containing many carbohydrates are rice, corns,
potatoes, cassavas, etc. For proteins, there are meats, chickens, eggs, fishes. We can get vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables.
Second, do some exercises. As researches suggest, by producing sweat,
exercises help our body to clean its system, removing toxic elements from the
body. Exercises can be done however and wherever we like and we should do it regulary. For example, jogging in the weekend, swimming in
the pool with our family once a
month, going up and down the
stairs every morning, etc, as for me, I often take a walk in Dago’s
Car Free Day with my friends in Sunday
morning.
Third, keep our environments clean. Environments are our surroundings, any places where we live, work, or socialize. Remove any substances which may compromise our health;
cigarettes’ smoke, air pollution, piled up trashes, animals’ wastes, etc.
Keeping our environments clean helps us to maintain our health, because there
are many diseases caused by environmental factors; diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, malaria,
gradual loss of lung function, and
so on.
Fourth, be positive! It is believed that our mind is connected by our
body, which means that what we think will affect our body. If we think of
something negative (feeling discouraged, worried, disappointed, angry), our
body will respond to the negative energy we are creating. Besides, are there
any disadvantages of thinking positively? I am sure there are not, it is worth
trying. For example, by getting up in the morning and always think, “What a
nice day! Today is sure to be a great day!” and other kind of thoughts.
There are many tips out there to keep a healthy life which we may get
from articles, books, doctors, but in my opinion, these four are the most
important; watch our food consumption, do some exercises, keep our environments
clean, and be positive! I hope that whoever we are, wherever we live, whatever
our activities, we could maintain our body’s health.
