sentence, write 85-100 words.
Speaking of today's generation, almost most people like to have a healthy life,
starting with a responsible diet, getting up early, doing exercise routines,
hydrating well, and being orderly with their things. On the other hand, there are
people who do not like that side of life, suffice it to say that some of them do not
even get to breakfast, perhaps because they are already badly used to it or
because they get up too late and time passes, they spend all day watching
television or playing on the cell phone, instead of that time investing in something
good for your health, such as exercising. Well, finally, let's propose to always be
active, forget bad habits and do it for our own health.
