HEALTHY LIVING
1 ________

In wealthy countries around the world, the number of overweight people is increasing. This is
because in modern society, many people eat too much junk food and do too little exercise. Being
overweight can lead to health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.

2 ________

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 diary products, fish and meat, and small amounts of
sugary foods like cake and chocolate.

3 ________

Regular workouts are also essential for a healthy life. We recommend 30 minutes of exercise 3-5
times a week. This can be 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 might hurt yourself.
