THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING HEALTHY

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen.. I am here to deliver my speech about the important of
health for our life. Tomorrow we will celebrate the National Health day on the twelft of
November. For that i would like to remind again why it is important to keep our body fit.

Everyone here wants to be healthy and fit, right? As we all know that health is the most
important factor in life. It is also the cheapest thing to acquire. We don’t need to buy many
expensive stuff to be healthy. With good eating habits and doing regular physical activity we are
one step closer to a healthier life. It sounds easy, but sometimes not so easy to do. With school,
homework, many school activities, and hanging out with our friends, we are too busy to lead a
healthy life. But then, if we neglect it, if we force our body to do all of those activities without
taking care of it. Then eventually, we can get sick. And when we get sick, we cannot go to
school, we cannot join school activities, and we cannot even have fun. As the saying goes, “An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It means that being healthy is much cheaper than
being sick. Because we can imagine the cost that we have to spend to go to the doctor and buy
the medicines. So which one do you prefer? Being sick or being healthy?

And while we are it, Staying healthy is an important part of growing up. Living a healthy lifestyle
also can be beneficial not only physically abut also emotionally. In puberty, we have to deal with
many problematic things in school, staying healthy can really help not to be overwhelmed.
Staying healthy physically can help us stay healthy emotionally too. Keeping a good eating habit
and taking care of our body will make our body string and help us to cope with stress. In a study
conducted by researchers at University of Indonesia it was found that exercising for 30 minutes,
three times a week can help an estimated 60% of patients overcome their depression without
using anti-depressant medications. In addition, exercise can give us the time we need to relax,
take a break and deal with the problem at hand.

The honorable Audiences, leading a healthy lifestyle can also improve the appearance of our
skin, teeth and nails and give us that certain glow that makes us look great. So we will look
good just by being healthy. We don’t need to do a certain diet to get slimmer or stronger. Our
body will automatically shaped well as we grow into adulthood.

Ladies and Gentlemen, that is why we have to live healthy. By being healthy we can have a
good life with full excitement without having to worry about being sick or about the cost of
medical treatment. Secondly, aside of physically, staying healthy also can be good for us
emotionally. It can’t reduce stress and keep us happy. And the last but not the least, leading a
healthy lifestyle will makes us look good. And for us teenagers, looking good is important, right?

So maybe that’s all from what I can deliver today. I hope we will always stay happy and live a
full and happy life. I thank you for your attention here.
