While there is life there is hope, says an English proverb.

But to live long and happy life we should have a good … health.

Health is the highest value of human life.

Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Health is above wealth.

Health is not valued till illness comes.

He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.

One can buy a doctor, but not health.

Prevention is better than cure.

                                                                                                                                    HO3

Tissues –  ткани                                                 Consumption – употребление

Brain – мозг                                                        Heart muscles contraction – сокращение сердечной

Adrenal glands – надпочечники                                                                       мышцы                                                                                

                                                                             Liver - печень                                                   

Heart rate –  сердечній ритм                             Stomachelining – слизистая оболочка желудка

Blood pressure – кровяное давление                Kidney - почка

Arteries – артерии

Fatal consequences – фатальный исход

Smoking and drinking cause stressful changes to the body and its organs and tissues.

When smoking the brain is stimulated and sends signals to the adrenal glands to release norepinephrine (норадренопочечники) which raises the heart rate.

Carbon monoxide (угарный газ) enters the blood in place of oxygen.(кислород)

The nicotine, present in the smoked cigarette, raises the body’s blood pressure.

Atheroma (опухоль) builds up and blocks arteries which if totally blocked, increases the heart’s workload (нагрузки) sometimes with fatal consequences.

The consumption of alcohol causes intoxication.

Alcohol makes the heart beat ubnormally and decreases the force of heart muscles contraction.

Cirrhosis of the liver is caused by access alcohol.

And alcohol also inflames the stomachlining.

Increased water loss from the kidney, leading to the hydration (гидратация), is also the effect of alcohol.

BAD HABITS

Smoking

Smoking is one of the worst things kids and adults can do to their health.

Cigarettes kill 50.000 people every year.

Each cigarette shortens your life for five minutes.

Smoking wastes your time and empties your pockets.

Smoking people have many chances in their appearance.

They smell like an old ash tray, their teeth and fingers getting yellow, their breath is stinky (неприятный)

Smokers not only ruin their own health, but also the health of other people.

We have to inhale (вдыхать) the poisonous (ядовитый, отравленный) air they blow out.

Heavy smokers are more likely to develop certain illnesses when they get older.

They are lung (легкие) and throat cancer (pak), heart disease, emphysema and others.

According to the World Health Organization tobacco-related illness will be the world’s leading killer by the year 2020, responsible for more deaths than alcohol, drugs, AIDS (Acquired Deficiency Syndrome), tuberculosis, road accidents, put together.

                                                                                                                                                               HO5

BAD HABITS 

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol is a very old and wide spread danger.

The health risks of alcohol are great.

It is the third greatest cause if death after cancer and heart disease.

Alcohol travels fast to the brain (головной мозг).

From the brain it travels to other important organs  such as the liver (печень) and the kidneys (почки).

The increases of it in blood makes one feel more energetic by giving the feeling of a lift, but in fact you get slow reaction and loss of memory.

Many people use alcohol to become more sociable and confident in dealing with others, but they make enemies.

They think alcohol help to relax and forget about immediate problems, but get health problems.

Many experts feel that smoking and alcohol are so common and so dangerous that they can be called epidemic.
