Furthermore, you can be healthy by doing plenty of exercise; maybe thirty minutes every day. By doing exercise, you work you heart so that it is fit. You do not just have to run, you can do exercise in all different forms such as: dance, team sports and swimming. Keeping active is a good way of keeping healthy because people who are obese put a lot of strain on their heart; this means that they are likely to suffer from heart attack. I would advise you to not always watch television and go on the computer all the time, as it means that you aren’t moving and not getting any exercise. You can use the computer and watch television, just control how often and how long you go on it each day. I would advise that you should do around 1 hour of exercise a couple times a week, as it helps to boost your immune system therefore reducing the chance of getting diseases such as heart disease and obesity. It also improves your mental health and prevents depression.
Moreover, getting plenty of sleep is an essential for a healthy lifestyle. Your body will get into a rhythm so that you will go to bed feeling tired and then wake up in the morning ready for the day ahead.
In addition, just enjoy life. Stress can cause people to become unwell, unhappy and tired. If you smile and think optimistically about life, then you will immediately feel better.
Finally, I am aware that you have to be over 21 to be allowed to smoke and drink. However, there are many people I know that there are people in the UK aged around 15 who smoke and drink. My granddad died when he was young because of his poor lungs which were caused by smoking from a young age. My uncle also died when he was young because of liver cancer which was caused by drinking too much alcohol. I would advise you not to smoke and drink as it will affect you life as you get older.
