6 Form Health

                                                                            Health

          Health is the most important thing for everyone. English people say health is above wealth. This proverb means that you can`t be good at your studies, you can`t work well if you are ill. If you are wealthy but not healthy you can’t be happy. People can buy different things but they can't buy their health.

           Sometimes people fall ill. For example, they can catch a cold. They have a sore throat, start coughing and sneezing. So people have to go to the doctor. The doctor examines the patient. He listens to his chest and lungs. He asks to breath in deeply and then to breath out. He takes his temperature. After that the doctor prescribes some medicine for the patient`s throat. Of course he tells his patient how many times a day to take the medicine. The patient should follow his advice and take the medicine regularly and he will feel better and recover soon.

           Nowadays people want to be strong. If you want to keep fit you should remember some good rules. First of all, get up early and go to bed early to keep fit. Then, take regular exercises. It`s a good idea to take a cold shower every morning. Of course, you should eat healthy food. Don`t forget to wash your hands before you eat. Remember that too much food makes you fat. The wrong food makes you ill. Only the right food keeps you well. Too many sweets are bad for you, especially for your teeth. If you don`t want to have bad toothache clean your teeth twice a day. Never smoke to keep fit.

            Don`t forget that our health depends on us. We should take care of our health to be strong and happy.
