LISTENING.
 Taking care of our bodies should be the main focus of our daily living. Health studies show that
most of the sickness we encounter are caused by improper intake of food and drinks. Carbonated
drinks such as colas contain a huge amount of sugar that can caused diabetes and kidney failure.
Drinking a lot of coffee can create hypertension and irregularities in the heart. Processed food
served in fast food and restaurants contains ingredients that trigger cancer cells. That is why it is
advised to eat fruits and vegetables all the time as it cleanses our internal organs and give us
vitamins and minerals to strengthen our bodies and minds. Drinking eight glasses of water everyday
can also help in flushing out the toxins in our bodies. And most importantly, getting enough
exercise to maintain a good blood circulation.
