HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND LONGEVITY
As a way of living, lifestyle is everyday behaviors, activities, and diet. It involves your work, leisure activities,
food and drink consumption, and interaction with people. That is why it is important to have a healthy lifestyle.
Although it is often difficult to change your habits, reorganizing your daily activities to achieve a healthy
lifestyle is not impossible. Here are some steps you need to take to have a better life and health.
Become more active
Scientists have proved that regular exercise can help to reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.
Remember that you do not need to do too much exercise – just a 30-minute walk a day will bring health
benefits. But it is important that you do it regularly and safely. Simple things like walking or cycling to school,
using the stairs instead of the lift, doing the housework and gardening can all contribute to good health.
Moreover, hobbies such as dancing, reading, listening to music, playing chess, and solving crossword or sudoku
puzzles are also good ways to keep your body and mind engaged, and increase life expectancy. No matter
where you are – at home, at work, or at play – always look for opportunities to be more active and energetic.
Eat healthily
‘Eat to live, not live to eat’ is the advice to follow. The food and drink we consume can dramatically affect our
health. Bad nutrition based on fast food, and meals high in fat and sugar can lead to obesity, diabetes, some
types of cancer and other chronic diseases. Planning and following a healthy and balanced diet is not difficult at
all. Eat the right amount of calories to balance the energy you get from food and the energy you use. Make sure
you have a wide range of foods to receive all the nutrients you need. Remember to eat less saturated fat, sugar
and salt, and more fish, fruit, and vegetables.
Stay positive and be happy
Once you have started to be more active and eat more healthily, you can notice that you also feel happier. There
is no doubt that daily worrying and stress can damage your heart and brain. When you are under a lot of stress,
you may get angry easily. Anger and hostility have negative effects on the cardiovascular system. Recent
research has confirmed that angry, hostile people live a shorter life. Try to control your anger, always look at
the positive side of every situation and be optimistic. If necessary, practices or-e meditation and yoga to help
you to relieve your stress and anger, and enjoy life more.

JOB INTERVIEW
University graduates hoping to get a job as an investment banker in London could be disappointed
if they wear brown shoes to their job interview. A new report highlights how the investment
banking industry in the UK follows centuries-old, unwritten rules about how bankers should
conduct themselves. The study was undertaken by the British government’s Social Mobility
Commission. Researchers looked at how the industry selected people in job interviews. They found
that the industry was governed by “relatively opaque” codes of conduct. They wrote: “For men, the
wearing of brown shoes with a business suit is generally considered unacceptable…within
investment banking.”
The survey suggested that people from working class backgrounds had to change their behaviour to
fit in with bankers who were from middle and upper classes. One newly-appointed banker said: “I
felt like my accent was a bit out of place, so I changed it.” The study also said the industry
discriminated against those who did not go to elite universities. The Commission’s chairman said:
“Bright, working-class kids are being systematically locked out of top jobs in investment banking
because they did not attend a small handful of elite universities.” He added: “It is shocking…that
some investment bank managers still judge candidates on whether they wear brown shoes with a
suit, rather than on their skills and potential.”
