HEALTHY LIVING

In wealthy countries around the world, the number of overweight people is increasing. This is because, in modern
society, lots of people eat too much junk food and do very little exercise. Being overweight can lead to health
problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Improving your eating habits is a great way to stay healthy. There’s no need to cut out all the foods you enjoy, but
make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet. This means eating lots of fruit, vegetables and grains, moderate
amounts of dairy products, fish and meat and only small amounts of sugary foods like cake and chocolate.
Regular workouts are also essential for a healthy life. Experts recommend 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times a
week. Some ideas include jogging, cycling, swimming, going to the gym, or even taking your dog for a quick walk.
Just don’t do too much at once because you could hurt yourself.

11 There are more overweight people in rich countries than in the past. ………
12 Junk food is the only reason why there are more overweight people. ………
13 People who want to be healthy need to stop eating the kinds of food they like. ………
14 To eat a healthy diet you don’t need to stop eating all sugary foods. ………
15 Walking your dog is the best form of exercise. ………
