So before I go on, let us see the ways to get a proper diet. Our diet
should follow the food pyramid. We should eat sufficient carbohydrates such
as rice, bread and noodles. We must eat plenty of vitamins such as fruits and
vegetables. We should also eat proteins such as fish, meat and chicken, but in
moderation. We shouldn’t eat fatty and greasy foods such as junk food, butter
and margarine. If we follow this diet effectively, we will get a lot of good and
rewarding benefits.
Another way that we should practice is eating at the right time. How
many of us have breakfast in the morning? Not many, right as we are all too
busy trying to make it to school on time? This is wrong because breakfast gives
us energy to start a fresh day. If we do not have breakfast in the morning, we
will feel very tired and sleepy. In fact, some cultures advocate breakfast as the
most important meal of the day. Without a proper breakfast, our
concentration span will also reduce, thus making us unable to comprehend
what is taught in class.
We must get enough exercise time every day. How many of us exercise
every day? I am afraid to admit that I am also one of the guilty ones who fall in
this category. We should exercise because when we sweat, the fats in our
bodies will break. If we do not exercise, we will become obese and this may
lead to various lifestyle diseases such as heart attack and diabetes. Our
exercise routine should consist of a variety of activities such as running, games
like football and basketball and also physical exercise such as tennis and
swimming so that we don’t get bored with the same activities. Make sure you
exercise and don’t say “I have exercised!” when you actually haven’t. Lifestyle
diseases are one of the easily preventable diseases which have overtaken
other communicable diseases like malaria and dengue.
