Healthy Living!

Healthy life keeps you alive!

Everybody likes junk food, sweets, cakes and soft drinks. But it is important not to eat those things too often. It's a good idea to eat sugary products for example once or twice a week. Also remember to eat regularly: eat five or six meals a day, and do not snack all the time, because it is bad for your teeth. A good tip for you is to follow the plate model: fill your plate 1/2 with salad, 1/4 with rice, potatoes, pasta or another food with lots of carbohydrates in it and 1/4 with meat, chicken, fish or another protein-containing food. Don't drink soft or energy drinks every day, instead prefer milk, water or juices (of course not the ones with extra added sugar).

Sports and regular exercise are good for your health, so it is good to have a sporty hobby, but you can also do the exercise of the day just by walking to school/home or walking the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Simple as that!

Sleeping is the nicest thing in the world, so why won't you sleep at least eight, maybe even nine hours in a night? Then you would not be tired during the day, and it also keeps your brain and body sharp.

Smoking, drugs and drinking too much alcohol are of course bad for your health, as we all know. Smoking causes cancer, makes your skin look many years older, your teeth turn yellow and your breath starts to smell. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who holds his breath while walking past a smoking person? Because that smoke just makes you cough and even in the tobacco pack there is a text that says: Smoking kills and it is harmful for you and people around you. It would be better to ban smoking, because there's nothing good about using it.

Alcohol is okay in small doses, but I find it important not to get drunk. Because a drunk person cannot control his doings, and it is very dangerous to for example drive when you're drunk.
But after all, it is everybody's own choice to do or not to do those things.

A human cannot be happy without friends or family. So remember to have loving and supporting people around you! Because for example many mental illnesses can be prevented if the person has caring people around him.

But remember: these things are just recommendations, and if you happen to eat "more sweets that you should" or skip a workout, it won't kill you. Remember to keep living and life normal, don't overachieve and stress too much or get obsession with for example healthy eating. Because nobody wants anorexia or a mental burn out. It is important to find the "happy medium"!
