How healthy are you? To have a healthy lifestyle you

need to have a good diet. Its interesting to find out
that many people do sport or other exercise two or
three times a week. So, maybe it isnt surprising that
we drink on average 2.5 liters of water a day! But
many people, about 45 percent of people love
drinking any type of soda. Also, lots of people love
biscuits, and other kind of sweets, but only two of us
never eat them. Its not so good that all of us like
chocolate. Eighty five percent of people eat at least
one piece of chocolate a day. Maybe were not as
healthy as we think.
