How to stay healthy and fit
Many studies have shown that almost 60% of adult deaths comesfrom diseases like cancer or strokes, although these maladiescould have been prevented. If you’re a smoking teenager, chancesare very big to get a heart disease or stroke when you’ll beolder. So in that case, I would suggest you try to avoid anykind of cigarettes, to practice sport, to say no to alcohol orany kind of drugs and to always have safe sex. It is alsostrongly recommended to pay the doctor a visit more often fordifferent tests, such as measuring your blood pressure andchecking your general health.
What you eat is also very important for your health. An obeseperson is at risk for many diseases. The BMI (body mass index)is being used to measure the proportions between weight andheight. A person considered to be overweight has a body massindex above 95%, but for example, an athlete can also have ahigh BMI without being overweight. The explanation could be thatthe body has extra muscle tissue, but no fat at all. The bodybegins to gain weight when it’s overfed, that means when itreceives more calories than it needs, or than it burns off.Obesity means stress for the body, health and mind. Obese peoplefeel depressed and there is more likely for them to eat to curethis depression than to run or swim. So, the key in avoidingobesity is to have an organized life program, respect your body,to exercise everyday, to try to eat healthy and to avoidtobacco, alcohol or drugs.
It’s very important to teach yourself to eat only what’s goodfor your health, because, after all, you’re eating to stayalive, not staying alive just for the taste of food. Even thoughyou’re not a sporty person, you should try to find an activitythat you enjoy to mix it somehow with a bit of sport. Forexample, if you feel to relax yourself, take the bike and go toyour favorite place: a lake, a forest, a park instead ofwatching TV and being tempted of eating in front of it. Spendmore time outside, in the nature rather than staying at thecomputer, playing some game that instead of relaxing you, willmake you more tired.
