B Read the article. Which of your ideas are mentioned? What other ideas does it suggest? ‘Articles sometimes start with @ problem (for example, Les face it: ‘many of us are not too healthy.) and then continue with possible solutio: (exercise, etc), Rethink Your Way to Great Health t's face it: many of us are not too healthy. We 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 cant 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 can't go, go, go all day! We need to take regular 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 ruts 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 steep 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, cone choice at a time. It's up to you! C Read the article again. Answer the questions. Then compare with a partner. Why do some people stop exercising and eating well? What relaxation technique does the article mention? What are some examples of healthy snacks from the article?

OF course, during a 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.
