(Be careful to foods that is not good for you. For foods go inside the body. Don’t be late to eat. Eat
foods that are healthy like fish and vegetables and meat. But not always meat; vegetables must be
priority to eat; it is good for body. Don’t drink and smoke cigarettes, these are big headache on my
part. Those are the things that I know in order to be healthy. And before you eat, wash your hands.
That’s what I know.)
