Rethink Your Way to Great Health Jy eee ey samt tn le often take an “all or nothing” approach to health If we can't exercise every day, follow a healthy diet, or manage our stress levels, then we give up and do nothing. However, looking after our health doesn’t have to take a lot of time and effort. It just takes a little thought. Follow these simple ideas and rethink your way to better health! First, get moving. How much are you exercising these days? Not a lot? Research shows not exercising is really bad for your health. If you can't afford to go to the gym, go running. Skip the elevator and take the stairs; don't take the bus or train all the way - walk. Or, try exercising while you watch TV. Second, don't forget to take a break from work sometimes. Our bodies cant go, go, go all day! We need to take regular C Read the article ag breaks. If work is stressing you out, take a few deep breaths in between tasks. Try a relaxation technique, like meditation, or take a relaxing ten-minute walk. Next, be sure to make good food choices. When you get stressed, do you reach for a cookie? Don't snack on junk food. Plan ahead and keep healthy snacks like fruit or nuts nearby. When you go shopping, buy only healthy foods for your next meal. If you have to order fast food, choose something light, go easy on the dressings, and add a healthy side dish like a salad or fruit. Finally, remember to sleep well. Don’t fall asleep with the TV on. When you go to bed, make sure your room is quiet, cool, and dark. Research shows it’s the best way to get a good night's sleep. With simple changes like these, you can rethink your way to great health, one choice at a time. It’s up to you! ‘Answer the questions. Then compare with a partner. 1. Why do some people stop exercising and eating well? 2. What relaxation technique does the article mention? 3. What are some examples of healthy snacks from the article? 4.

NEW YEAR'S EVE In Mexico, people celebrate the start of the new year by getting together with friends and family. (On New Year's Eve, they have a special dinner. Then, when the clock strikes midnight, everyone starts eating grapes — one for each month of the next year. A sweet grape means the month is going tobe a good one. Ifa grape is sour, then the month is not going to be so.good. ~ a “ BIRTHDAYS: In China, there's an interesting birthday tradition for infants. A baby is one year old on the day he or she is born. One year later, friends and relatives get together for the baby's second birthday. They put several objects in front of the baby, such as some money, a doll, and a book. ifthe baby picks up the money, it means he or she is, going to be wealthy. Reaching for the book means the baby is going to bea teacher, and picking up the doll means the baby is going to havea lot of children one day. = BEAM University Press 2016 Look at the photos.

Of course, during wedding ceremony, couples promise that they will always love and take care of each other. However, in Venezuela, the bride ‘and groom don't always say their promises ~ sometimes they sing them. Later, during the reception, the bride and groom sneak away. If no one sees them leave, it means they are going to have good luck in their marriage.
