Modern life is very chaotic and stressful. That’s why we should keep to a healthy lifestyle in order not to get depressed and not to feel bad. A healthy lifestyle consists of active mode of life, healthy diet, avoiding stress and absence of bad habits.
If you are active, you feel better. You may go to a gym or a swimming pool, do some other sport or simply walk more. Sport is a good way to reduce stress and improve your state of health. It is also possible to exercise or walk with someone. If you train with friends, you will enjoy yourself even more.
A diet is also very important. You should eat regularly and choose fresh and healthy food. It is essential to eat enough fruit, vegetables, and meat. Don’t eat too much sugar or consume sweet fizzy drinks. Sugar affects your heart and can’t fill you for a long time.
Finally, you should try to avoid stress or at least take it easy and don’t be too nervous. Nervousness has a negative impact on our health and causes many diseases. So do the bad habits. Smoking and drinking too much alcohol can be very harmful.
Thus, it is not so difficult to lead a healthy life. It may become your good habit. As soon as you improve your quality of life, regulate your diet and physical exercises, you will see good results and feel yourself much better. You won’t have an idea of returning to your previous lifestyle anymore.
Перевод:
Современная жизнь очень хаотична и полна стресса. Поэтому мы должны придерживаться здорового образа жизни, чтобы не впасть в депрессию и не иметь плохого самочувствия. Здоровый образ жизни состоит из активного образа жизни, правильного питания, избегания стресса и отсутствия вредных привычек.
Если вы активны, вы чувствуете себя лучше. Вы можете посещать спортзал или бассейн, заниматься спортом или просто больше ходить пешком. Спорт – хороший способ снизить стресс и улучшить свое состояние здоровья. Также можно упражняться или гулять с кем-то. Если вы тренируетесь с друзьями, вы насладитесь процессом даже больше.
Питание также очень важно. Вам следует питаться регулярно и выбирать свежую и здоровую пищу. Важно есть достаточное количество фруктов, овощей и мяса. Не ешьте слишком много сахара и не употребляйте сладких газированных напитков. Сахар влияет на сердце и не может насытить вас на долгое время.
Наконец, вам следует попробовать избегать стрессов или хотя бы не принимать близко к сердцу и не быть слишком нервными. Нервозность негативно воздействует на наше здоровье и приводит ко многим болезням. Так же, как и вредные привычки. Курение и употребление большого количества алкоголя может быть губительным.
Таким образом, придерживаться здорового образа жизни не так уж сложно. Это может стать вашей хорошей привычкой. Как только вы улучшите качество своей жизни, упорядочите свое питание и физические нагрузки, вы увидите хорошие результаты и почувствуете себя гораздо лучше. Вам даже в голову не придет вернуться к прежнему образу жизни.
Полезные слова и выражения:
Active mode of life – активный образ жизни
Healthy diet – правильное питание
Absence of – отсутствие чего-либо
To gruntle – повышать настроение
To consume – (у)потреблять
Fizzy drink – газированный напиток
To affect – воздействовать, влиять

Text №1 «Influence of Food»
Food we eat also influences our health. Nowadays people are very busy and they often eat in fast food restaurants as they don’t have time to cook. Fast food is unhealthy. It is very rich in calories (fatty) and has a lot of additives. This food gives a lot of energy. But if you don’t work it out (израсходовать), it becomes fat in your body. The same is with chocolates, cakes and sweets. They have much fat and sugar.
People should get rid of a habit of eating fast food and get into a havit of eating organic food such as fruit, vegetables and fish.
There are other bad habits, which can ruin our health. It is smoking, drinking alcohol and using drugs.
Text №2 «Our Health»
Our health depends on many things: our physical activity, the food we eat and our good and bad habits. Although a lot of people are interested in staying healthy, not many people do very much about it. Modern way of life when people have little physical activity, use cars instead of walking, watch television and work on computers for many hours is quite dangerous for their health. People’s health also influences their mood.
There are many opportunities to stay healthy and be fit and one of them is going in for sports. But you needn’t be a professional sportsman. Just simple regular exercises give you energy and help you feel and look better.
Exercises that involve repeated movements such as are walking, jogging or swimming are the best. Bending and stretching which are practiced in aerobics or yoga make your body flexible and light. The cheapest and most popular sport is jogging. If you don’t have time for it, make small changes like using stairs instead of the lift or walking or cycling instead of taking the bus and it can help you to improve your health and make you a more active person.
Also it is very important to get rid of bad habits. The worst ones are smoking and drinking alcohol. Smoking doesn’t only causes heart and lung problems but also makes your teeth yellow and skin unhealthy.
Food we eat also influences our health. A lot of people like drinking Coca-Cola and coffee and enjoy pizza and hamburgers. But what is tasty is not healthy. You should avoid eating in fast food restaurants and make it a rule to cook meals at home using organic food as much as possible.
Only a healthy man can enjoy his life, work well and be happy. There are proverbs “Health is better than wealth” and “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”.

5. Is sport popular in your family? Do your parents do sports regularly?
6. Why is it important to exercise every day?
7. What bad habits do you know? Why are they dangerous?
Today healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular both with the old and the young. People have become more health-conscious. They say that the greatest wealth is health. And it’s so true. The healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live.
A healthy diet is an essential part of staying healthy. We know that we should not stuff ourselves with fast food, sweets, sausages, pastry and fat food. Due to medical research, this type of food shortens our life, it leads to obesity, heart and blood vessels diseases, diabetes, gastric problems and lots of other serious ailments. To prevent all these problems we should enjoy well-balanced home-made meals with a lot of organic fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains and seafood. We are what we eat.
Keeping fit and going in for sports is also important for our health. Lack of exercise in our life is a serious problem. In big cities people spend hours sitting in front of computers, TV-sets and other gadgets. We walk less because we mainly use cars and public transport. We certainly don’t have to be professional sportsmen, but we should visit fitness clubs, go jogging, walk much, swim, go cycling or roller-skating or just dance. Doctors say that regular moderate physical activity is necessary for our body because it protects us from strokes and heart diseases, flue and obesity.
We must understand the harm of bad habits for our health. Smoking, drinking or taking drugs mean serious illnesses and even death from lung cancer or liver diseases, for instance. Cigarettes kill about 3 million heavy-smokers every year. Drug addicts die very young. So I think there is no place for bad habits in a healthy way of life.
Taking a proper rest and getting enough sleep, from 8 to 10 hours daily, are also great healthy habits. Sleep is the food for our brain and the rest for our muscles. Moreover we should avoid getting nervous or worried for no reason.
Healthy way of life concerns our body, mind and soul. Healthy people live longer, they are more successful and they enjoy their life. I believe that it’s not difficult at all to follow these simple rules, and they are worth it.
Перевод
Сегодня здоровый образ жизни становится все более популярным среди молодых и пожилых. Люди стали более внимательными к своему здоровью. Говорят, что здоровье – это самое большое богатство. И это чистая правда. Чем здоровее наш организм, тем лучше мы себя чувствуем. Чем лучше мы себя чувствуем, тем дольше мы живем.
Здоровая диета – важная часть здоровой жизни. Мы знаем, что мы не должны заполнять свой организм едой фаст-фуд, сладостями, колбасными и мучными изделиями, жирными продуктами. Согласно медицинским исследованиям, такая еда сокращает жизнь, ведет к ожирению, заболеваниям сердца и кровеносных сосудов, диабету, желудочным проблемам и многим другим серьезным недугам. Для того, чтобы предотвратить эти проблемы, нам следует наслаждаться сбалансированной домашней едой, богатой органическими фруктами, овощами, молочными продуктами, злаками и морепродуктами. Мы есть то, что мы едим.
Оставаться подтянутым и заниматься спортом – это тоже важный момент для нашего здоровья. Недостаток движения в нашей жизни является серьезной проблемой. В больших городах люди часами сидят перед компьютером, телевизором и другими гаджетами. Мы меньше ходим пешком, поскольку пользуемся, главным образом, автомобилями и общественным транспортом. Разумеется, мы не обязаны становиться профессиональными спортсменами, но нам нужно посещать фитнесс-клубы, заниматься бегом, много ходить, плавать, кататься на велосипеде или роликах или просто танцевать. Врачи утверждают, что регулярная умеренная физическая активность необходима для нашего тела, так как она защищает нас от сердечных заболеваний и приступов, гриппа и ожирения.
Мы обязаны понимать пагубное влияние вредных привычек на наше здоровье. Курение, алкоголизм и наркомания означают серьезные заболевания и даже смерть от рака легких или заболеваний печени, к примеру. Сигареты убивают около 3 миллионов курильщиков ежегодно. Наркоманы умирают очень молодыми. Поэтому, я считаю, что в здоровом образе жизни нет места для вредных привычек.
К здоровым привычкам также относятся хороший отдых и достаточный сон, от 8 до 10 часов ежедневно. Сон – это пища для нашего мозга и отдых для наших мышц. Более того, нам следует избегать нервничать или беспокоиться без особого повода.
Здоровый образ жизни затрагивает наше тело, ум и душу. Здоровые люди живут дольше, они более успешны и получают удовольствие от жизни. Думаю, что следовать этим простым правилам совсем несложно, и они стоят того.

There are a few things you have to do to start living your life in this way, i.e., the healthy way. This means doing some amount of exercise daily, such as jogging, yoga, playing sports, etc. Adding to this, you must also have a balanced and nutritional diet with all the food groups.

Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising daily, and sleeping well are essential parts of a healthy lifestyle. But feeling happy is also a big part of a healthy lifestyle.

These habits are harmful to not only you but for all the people around you, as addiction causes unhealthy attitudes and behaviors. Other unhealthy practices include skipping meals and eating junk food.
The benefits of a healthy lifestyle are manifold: living a healthy life allows you to live longer, which means that you get to spend more time with your family. Exercising daily will enable you to release endorphins and helps you feel happier. Regular exercise also improves the health of your skin and hair, bettering your appearance as well. Healthy lifestyles also primarily reduce your risk of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. and also reduce your susceptibility to cardiac arrests.
Overall, living your life in a healthy way only has benefits, and that’s why it is recommended that you do everything you can to have a healthy lifestyle. So, eat three nutritional meals a day, avoid unhealthy junk food, go for a run or jog in the morning, get your full 8 hours of sleep, and avoid bad habits like drugs, alcohol, and smoking. A healthy lifestyle is the best thing that you can do to your body, and you will be thanking yourself for following a healthy lifestyle in the later years of your life.

Speaker A. What is something that really troubles me? Well, like everyone else these days I worry about earning enough to pay my monthly bills, my rent and all the other current living expenses. I’ want to be secure for the future and make sure I will have everything I need and maybe start saving some money. I am so afraid of losing everything I own.
Speaker В. What do I worry about? Oh, about a lot of different things — money, politics, the weather. But my greatest concern is my mum and dad. I have a good job with a foreign firm and I am living overseas at the moment. I am so worried about them. I’m afraid they won’t be able to deal with all their problems. If anything happens to them when I’m away, I won’t be able to come back home quickly enough to help.
Speaker С. I think my biggest worry today is my career. I’m 26 now and I’ve spent the last few years travelling. Most of my university friends have settled down. They work hard and have made a good start to their careers. So I began to worry that when I go back home I will be too old for companies to want me. What shall I do then? That’s a tough question. I do not want to be unemployed.
Speaker D. Every time I look in the mirror I feel nervous. I am afraid of getting fat as I love pizza and hamburgers. I like shopping a lot and always buy sweets. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it. Like any other woman in her thirties, I am really afraid of gaining extra kilograms.
But I just can’t say “no” to cakes and sweets. Who can?!
Speaker Е. What am I afraid of? Well, recently I visited a friend of mine in Shanghai and she made a comment that I thought was very interesting. She said I look as though I have plenty of money. I don’t, but compared to ordinary people in the street I look like I have a lot of money. I am really afraid of someone thinking that I have a lot of money and trying to rob me, especially if they have a gun. I have a little bit of paranoia about guns and robbers.
Speaker F. I guess I worry about the usual things, like getting in shape for the summer or being healthy and fit. I think being healthy is the most important thing. So I exercise regularly and watch what I eat. You know it’s all about getting the right amount of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. I need this body to last at least another fifty years.

(Man aged about 30): My guest today on The Morning Show is Jennifer Spright who is here to talk about gap years and a few problems that people have had while doing them. Welcome, Jenny.
(Woman aged about 23): Sorry, but I prefer to be called Jennifer. Only my family call me Jenny.
Man: Sorry, Jennifer. Tell me about these problems.
Woman: Well, as you know, a lot of young people nowadays take a gap year between school and university. Some work, some travel and a lot combine the two by volunteering abroad. The problem is that there are a lot of places which take advantage of these volunteers. They have official looking websites but almost all the information on them, apart from the country the volunteers will go to, is often false.
Man: Can you give some examples?
Woman: Yes, I can. I did my gap year when I was eighteen. As I was interested in animal conservation and had been accepted by a university to study zoology the following year, I chose a position on what was described as an animal sanctuary in Central America. It turned out to be a zoo. I came home after one month. It was an expensive lesson.
Man: Expensive?
Woman: Yes, I paid two thousand pounds for my six months placement. I didn’t get any of it back, of course. The price included my flights, a place to stay, which was a small, dirty hut with no bathroom, and food.
Man: I guess that wasn’t very tasty!
Woman: Actually, it was. I’m a vegetarian and almost all the food consisted of beans and rice with spicy sauces. I sat and ate on my own and read a lot. There was no-one to talk to. They were all really unfriendly.
Man: So what happened after you returned?
Woman: Well, I had a lot of free time before I started university so I decided to set up a website with advice for volunteers. I didn’t have much time for it while I was at university but I kept it going and, since I left university, it’s been a full time job.
Man: It must be very useful.
Woman: I hope so. Interestingly, I’ve started noticing older people coming to the site for advice. More and more retired people who are still fit and healthy are doing voluntary work. Also a few well-off, middle-aged people, often married couples whose children have grown-up and left home. Although young people still make up the majority of volunteers, they only account for about fifty percent of the people using my site. I think this is because they have access to more advice at school and from people they know whereas older people are on their own.

Speaker A. (A boy aged about. 20) Everyone I talk to seems to eat rubbish. I can’t understand it. When I ask them if they learned about health and nutrition at school, they say they did. We are all students so we have plenty of time to cook. One of my friends eats fried chicken every day. When I tell him how unhealthy it is, he just smiles and says: ‘I know, but it’s delicious’!
Speaker В. (A woman aged about. 40) Why do people eat so badly in this country? I think it’s a lack of knowledge. I know schools try to teach their pupils about health but schoolchildren are too young to care and they forget these lessons later in life. There should be someone in Parliament who could organize cookery lessons for adults. Then we could tax fast food and use the taxes to pay for the lessons.
Speaker С. (A man aged about. 50) My parents ate very healthily and I enjoyed cooking when I was younger. I still do, and I love trying new recipes from countries that I’ve visited. So why do I eat fast food or frozen meals so often? I’m not poor and I can afford to buy high quality ingredients. The problem is that I’m a politician and I get home, exhausted at about 9pm. If I had to cook, I wouldn’t get to bed until about midnight.
Speaker D. (A girl about. 18) I’ve heard a lot of people complaining that supermarkets are forcing us to buy packaged food and that there are too may fast-food restaurants. I’ve heard people blaming schools for not teaching cookery anymore but why? There are thousands of websites with cheap, healthy recipes from all over the world on them. It’s not difficult to change your diet. Just do it and don’t expect others to do everything for you.
Speaker Е. (A man aged about. 30) Jamie Oliver is right. We can’t blame poverty. We can’t blame politicians and we can’t blame a lack of time. I know Britain doesn’t have a long history of healthy food but we live in an Internet age now. We can get recipes from anywhere in the world. A lot of people in the world have a lot less to live on than even the poorest people in this country but they don’t eat badly. Let’s start looking to them for ideas.
Speaker F. (A woman aged about. 30) People say that poor people eat badly in this country. They say that, in other countries, people buy cheap vegetables and eat healthily. They ask why we don’t do the same. Well, I had great cookery lessons at school but I can’t afford to cook healthy meals. Why? Because fresh fruit and vegetables are very expensive here. Not only that but most of the recipes I know need a lot of cooking time which means higher gas and electric bills.

Woman: Welcome to Talking Point, the daily radio show that discusses the stories you may not have heard about. On this morning’s show, my guest is government minister, Jonathan Pelham, who is heading a campaign to reintroduce national service in this country. Welcome.
Minister: Thank you.
Woman: Before we look at why you want to reintroduce national service, can you remind listeners of what it was and when it came to an end?
Minister: Of course. After the Second World War, the national service act forced every healthy young man between the ages of 17 and 21 to spend a year in the armed forces. The time was later increased to two years and the only people who were able to avoid national service were those in essential occupations such as mining or farming. The last year that people were called up to do National Service was 1960.
Woman: And you’d like to reintroduce this again.
Minister: Yes, although with a few differences.
Woman: Such as?
Minister: Firstly, there would be a choice between joining the armed forces or doing a kind of community service. Those joining the armed services would not be sent to war zones. They would benefit from army discipline and training but in a safe environment. Young people doing community service would work in hospitals, schools, with the unemployed or homeless. I believe they should be given a range of tasks to do. This would ensure that they would work with a variety of people and find out more about the needs of the community in which they live.
Woman: Do you think your ideas are popular?
Minister: Amongst young people? No! No-one likes to be told that they have to do something for two years. However, I think that when they realise what they are gaining from the experience, they will begin to appreciate it and understand the importance of it. They will feel valued, which young people often aren’t at the moment. Of course, after a few years, it will become natural and accepted and then there won’t be so much resistance to doing it. In my opinion, national service will also reduce youth unemployment and, hopefully, reduce anti-social behaviour.
Woman: I know there is one more big difference between your idea and the original
National Service.
Minister: Yes. My idea is for this to apply to everyone, male or female, at the age of eighteen. I would also ensure that no-one could avoid doing it, whether rich or poor. For those going to university, it would mean that they would start their studies two years later. This would be very beneficial in my view as students would be much more independent and mature than they are now. National service would be a wonderful opportunity to allow people from different parts of the country, different ethnic backgrounds and different religions to learn to get on with each other and to understand each other. That can only be a good thing in a society such as ours where most people tend to interact socially with people of similar backgrounds to themselves.
Woman: Well, good luck. Do you think you have a chance of seeing your idea happening?
Minister: To be honest, it’s doubtful. People don’t like to take backward steps, even when it may be a good idea. However, I haven’t given up and anything is possible.
Woman: That’s true. Well,… (fade)

The top secret of being physically fit is adopting a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise, a healthy diet, taking good care of self, healthy sleep habits, and having a physically active daily routine. Lifestyle is the most prevailing factor that affects one’s fitness level. A person leading a sedentary lifestyle has a low fitness level whereas living a healthier life not only makes a person fit but also extends life. Good health has a direct impact on our personality. A person with a good and healthy lifestyle is generally more confident, self-assured, sociable, and energetic.
A good and healthy lifestyle allows one to relish and savor all the pleasures in life without any complications. Even all the wealth is less valuable when compared to sound health. Having all the luxuries in the world does not fulfill its purpose when one is continuously ill, depressed, or suffering from a significant health complication. A healthy person has a clear and calm perception of everything without prejudice. His actions and decisions are more practical and logical and are hence more successful in life.
Good Habit
A good habit is a key factor for a healthy lifestyle. To maintain a stable body and mind, one needs to inculcate good habits. Waking up early in the morning, regularly exercising or a good morning walk helps to keep our body energetic and refresh our mind.

A man without discipline is a ship without a rudder. Discipline needs self-control. One who cannot control himself can seldom control others. The level of discipline and perseverance largely determines a person’s success. Self-discipline is the act of disciplining one’s own feelings, desires, etc. especially with the intention of improving oneself. It strengthens our willpower. The stronger our will power the positive will be our decision. It enables us to conquer our own self.
Punctuality
Punctuality is the habit of doing things on time. It is the characteristic of every successful person and everyone must observe punctuality in order to win success in life. Punctuality is necessary for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It should become a habit with us. A punctual person is able to fulfill all his responsibilities and hence is treated with respect in society. It is needed in every walk of life.
Diet
Diet is an important component for overall fitness and works best in combination with exercise. A balanced diet and exercise regularly help to maintain good health. It is necessary to reduce weight if one is overweight or obese, failing which one cannot be physically fit for long. For people with obesity, more exercise and a strict regime are necessary, preferably under guidance. There are many ways of making the diet healthier.
