GOOD HEALTH

Most people would agree with the definition of good

health as being a state where you are free from sickness.
Despite this, there are many different opinions about how
a person can actually have good health. People used to
only think in their health when they were sick. But these
days more and more people are taking measures to make
sure that they don't get sick in the first place. In this article
I will describe a few of the most common things that you
can do to stay healthy.

One of the best things you can do for your body is exercise. But how much is enough? Not everyone agrees
on exactly how much people should exercise each day. Some people think that doing simple things like
cleaning the house are helpful. Other people do heavy exercise everyday such as running or swimming. One
thing experts do agree on is that any kind of exercise is good for you.

Along with exercise, having a healthy diet can help promote good health. Foods like vegetables and fruits
should be eaten several times each day. It is also important to eat foods high in fiber such as beans, grains,
fruit and vegetables. Fiber helps your body to digest the food you eat. It also helps your body in other ways
such as decreasing the chance of getting some cancers, heart disease and diabetes. Avoiding foods with a lot
of sugar, salt and fat is a good idea. Eating these kinds of foods can lead to a variety of health problems. The
main one being obesity. Obesity means having so much fat on your body that are risking your health.

In todays modern world, we all have some level of stress in our life. Different things cause stress for different
people. Money problems, work and relationships with other people can all cause stress it can also be caused
by good things like getting married or moving into a new house. The important thing to remember is that you
can never completely remove stress from your life. It will always be with you. Instead of trying
to remove stress, people need to be aware of what causes them stress and find ways to reduce the impact
that stress has on their lives.

MARATHON RACES

Many people enjoy running.  But one kind of race, the marathon, has
captured the imagination of people all over the world.  The race has
roots in ancient history.  But there is nothing ancient about today’s
modern sports and social events.
Many Americans enjoy the experience of running a forty-two
kilometer race.  Three hundred fourteen marathons were held in the
United States last year.  An estimated three hundred eighty-two
thousand runners completed these marathons.  And that number is expected to increase this year.
The biggest marathon in the nation is the New York City marathon. The runners pass famous landmarks in
America’s most famous city.  It also is a major sporting event with at least one hundred thousand dollars going
to each winner.
On November fifth, almost thirty-eight thousand people finished the race.  Marilson Gomes dos Santos of
Brazil was the men’s champion in just under two hours and ten minutes.  Jelena Prokopcuka of Latvia was the
women’s champion for the second straight year.  She finished in just over two hours and twenty-five minutes.
The most famous person in the race, however, may have been bicyclist Lance Armstrong.  The seven-time
Tour de France champion made big news by running in this year’s race.  Armstrong’s excellent physical
condition helped him complete the marathon in just under three hours.  Fewer than two percent of all marathon
runners do that.  But, after the race, Armstrong admitted that the race was "the hardest physical thing I have
ever done."
