“Wealth is nothing without health,
Health is above wealth”.
Good morning dear friends!
We have to discuss “Healthy Life”
today.
Health is supposed to be
interesting for everybody. I think health is the first wealth.
A lot of people never exercise.
They often eat the wrong food and smoke as well. These people become unhealthy.
Our project is open for every
person who takes care about health and for those who studies English.

us!!!
Учащимся предлагается прочитать некоторые
факты и ответить на вопрос.
Some
facts about life interval.
In Japan more than 15 thousand people are above 100 years
old.
Zimbabwe has the lowest life interval. Women die at 34, men
die at 37.
150 years ago the average life interval was about 40.
How do you think what is the cause of this deference? (Как выдумаете, чем обусловлена такая разница?) Учащиеся в группах
обсуждают причины низкой/высокой продолжительности жизни. Затем учащиеся
обмениваются информацией.

Групповая работа с
текстом
Учащиеся в группах читают
текст и продолжают заполнять кластер с основными понятиями.
Nowadays our
life is getting more and more tense. People live under the press of different
problems, such as social, ecological, economic and others. They constantly
suffer from stress, noise and dust in big cities, diseases and instability. A
person should be strong and healthy in order to overcome all difficulties.
To achieve this
aim people ought to take care of their physical and mental health. There are
several ways to do it. The state of your body depends on how much time you
spend doing sports. At least everybody must do morning exercises every day. The
most healthy kinds of sports are swimming, running and cycling.
Healthy food is
also a very important factor. Overeating causes many dangerous diseases. The
daily menu should include meat, fruit and vegetables, milk product, which are
rich in vitamins, fat, proteins and etc. On the other hand modern diets are very
popular especially among women. Diets may be harmful, if they are used in the
wrong way.
To be healthy,
people should get rid of their bad habits. It's necessary to stop smoking and
drinking much. Everyone should remember that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs
destroy both body and brain. Besides according to statistics most of crimes are
committed by people under the influence of drugs and alcohol. In addition it is
recommended to watch TV less, avoid anxiety and observe daily routine.
Certainly it's
hard to follow all these recommendations, but every person have to choose
between healthy life style and numerous illnesses.
1. What does a healthy way of
life mean? How do you look after your health?
People nowadays are more
health-conscious than they used to be. They understand that good health is
above wealth. To be healthy we should avoid different bad habits that can
affect our health. In my opinion, smoking, and drinking too much alcohol, is
the worst ones. It’s common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our
lives dramatically. Smoking, for example, causes a number of heart and lung
diseases, such as pneumonia, emphysema and cancer. Besides, it makes your teeth
yellow and skin unhealthy. Fortunately, in recent years smoking has received a
lot of bad publicity, and fewer people smoke nowadays. Some companies don’t
employ people who are smokers. Smoking has been banned in most public places
because everyone agrees it does harm to our health. I don’t smoke, because I
don’t want to have unhealthy skin and teeth and die young. Smoking and drinking
are joined by less dangerous habits, such as skipping meals, eating unhealthy
food, or even overeating. Of course, they are not quite as deadly as smoking or
drinking alcohol, but they also affect our health. If we eat too much, we’ll
become obese, and obesity leads to serious health problems. A lot of people
like drinking coca cola and coffee, and enjoy pizzas and hamburgers. But what
is tasty is not always healthy. Fast food makes you fat that is why Americans
are the fattest people in the world. In recent years eating habits have
undergone a change. People are encouraged to eat less fat and more fibre. Fat
is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. High
fibre and low fat foods can now be found in all shops and supermarkets. Salads,
beans, and fruit have taken the place of steak and ice cream. The fashion for
health food is growing all the time. Many people feel they are too fat, even if
their doctors disagree. And a lot of people try to improve their fitness. There
are a lot of ways to lose weight and avoid gaining it. Perhaps the most popular
of them is following a diet. If you want to lose weight, you should cut out
snacks and desserts, and cut down on fat. People have also become more aware of
calories, the energy value of food. Some people count the number of calories
they eat every day; so that they can try to take in fewer calories and lose
weight. This is called a calorie-controlled diet. Manufacturers are
increasingly producing special foods with fewer calories for slimmers. But
excessive dieting may be dangerous, too. Some people refuse to eat meat as they
consider it harmful. They say a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of cancer and
vegetarians live longer than others. I can’t agree with them, because meat is
an excellent source of good nutrition. In my opinion, it’s wrong to put down a
food simply because excessive amounts can cause health problems. Consumed in
moderate amounts, meat is perfectly good for our health. To my mind, the only
way to stay healthy and to keep fit is by going in for sports. Among the
benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, stronger bones, quicker
reaction times and more resistance to various illnesses. Besides, you can eat
and drink as much as you want because you are burning it all off. To be
healthy, it is also very important to spend a lot of time in the open air. It
is useful to go for a walk before going to bed, or to air the room.
2. Healthy Life. Nutrition
and Health.
Eating the proper food is important
to stay healthy. People need vitamins to stay in a good form. “Vita” means life
in Latin. People get vitamins from the food they eat. There a lot of vitamins
in fruit and vegetables. But you can hardly find any useful vitamins in Coke,
chips and other fast food. Each vitamin is responsible for different things in
the human body. There are about ten major vitamins. They are usually named by a
letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, D).
- Vitamin A is in green and yellow
vegetables, milk and eggs. It’s necessary for seeing in the dark.
- Vitamin B1 is in meat,
porridge and bread. B1 is responsible for the nervous system.
Lack of this vitamin leads to serious illnesses and even death.
- Vitamin C is in every fruit and
vegetable. You can find this vitamin in black currants, strawberries,
oranges and grapefruits, onions, cabbages and green peppers. Vitamin C is
important for building bones and teeth. It helps to prevent colds.
- Vitamin D is in eggs. People can
also get it from sunlight. It makes our bones strong.
- Vitamin E is necessary for skin
and body. It’s in wheat and nuts.
Vitamin B6 and K are
necessary for human blood. You can find B6 in beans and milk; K – in
potatoes and carrots.
3. Don’t smoke.
Don’t smoke! Do you think you are
strong enough to follow this advice? It looks smart in old movies, and it seems
that everybody does it. But that is just a clever form of advertising. Smoking
is unhealthy.
It is unpleasant and harmful to
non-smokers, too, and a serious fire risk. It is offensive in public places
like cafes and schools. Any form of addiction or excess is unhealthy, whether
it is tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sugary things, or money. It may be a sign of not
growing up and not being able to cope.
Do you know that 16th of
November is the day when people all over the world quit smoking?
Do you know that every year 3
million people die of smoking?
Do you know that your life is 25%
shorter if you smoke?
Do you know that only 13% of the
population smoke in the USA, but in Russia – more than 76%? 400,000 people die
in Russia every year as a result of smoking. Imagine that a whole town like Ufa
disappears every year.
In Britain smoking is now forbidden
in many public places: on the underground, on stations, in shops, in theatres
and in cinemas.
Those who smoke are weak because if
they see somebody smoking they join them.
4. Sport as a Lifestyle.
If you want to feel fit you’d
better go in for one kind of sport or another. I should admit that everyone
must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine.
“You have a sound mind in a sound body” as the old Latin saying goes. The
English proverb “Sickness in the body brings sickness to the mind” expresses a
similar idea but from different point of view. All kinds of physical exercises
are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and
healthy. To tell the truth I don’t do sports regularly and it is not an
essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to
awake. Then some aerobics for myself. It puts me into the fine moods. In summer
I go swimming as there is a beautiful river with pure water where my Granny
lives. In winter, it’s rather long at our place, I should say, I prefer skiing.
There is nothing like the sight of a winter forest - a real fairy-tale. I like
to ride the bike and tobogganing in winter. Mum says that I’m too old to do it,
why not after all? I shouldn’t call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to
watch sports competitions on TV. Fortunately, they show different ones -
football, basketball. I like tennis tournaments very much. I think, it’s a very
intelligent kind of sport for clever thinking people. Also I admire skiing
championships, biathlon and swimming. But what I like most is basketball. The
best games are viewed on TV. I came to know that modern basketball appeared in
1891 in the USA. Since then basketball has become very popular and is spread
all over the world. It is the sport of strong tall men, the sport of giants.
Doing sports a man become strong, healthy
and gay. He begins to take care of his health.
“Good health is better than
wealth”, you know. It’s true, I should say. In our school we have a nice gym.
Sports and games are popular among pupils.
5. Keeping fit.
To keep fit most people do sports.
Some of them join a sports club. The most popular individual sports are
walking, swimming, cycling and aerobics.
People work hard. They come home
late and are busy at weekends. They have no time to go to a sports club or sports
centre which isn’t quite near their homes. They can hardly do sport seriously.
They just want to relax.
People of all ages and types do
exercises at home to improve their health and to keep fit. In the morning they
switch on TV and follow fitness classes at home or go jogging in the park in
the evening. To jog or not to jog? On the one hand, every one should think
about a healthy way of life… But on the other hand – getting up early at the
weekend? Never! And what about swimming? What real pleasure is there in the
pool? The warming up before swimming helps you to feel great. And quite good
music. These 15 minutes of aerobics and 30 minutes of swimming work wonders.
Very refreshing. After that you feel ready for the next week’s marathon.
Instead of swimming or jogging you could go on a cycling tour. This kind of
sport also does people a lot of good, and the morning air smells wonderful.
But I also believe beauty has to be
physical and spiritual. What do I mean when talking about spiritual beauty? I
mean the beauty of the inner world of a person: kindness, responsibility,
willingness to help, friendliness and other traits of character.
Such person will give warmth to the
people that surround him or her. In my opinion, a truly beautiful person must
combine physical beauty with good traits of character.
Conclusion.
I think it is very important to be
fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health. Being fat, in
fact, can cause real problems. It is harder for fat people to get a good job,
or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. That’s why I
go in for sports on a regular basis. I have been doing aerobics for three years
and I feel great. I am not enthusiastic about strict dieting, but I try to eat
only low-fat food, and fruit and vegetables which are rich in vitamins.
Personally I believe that regularity in life promotes our health. Sleeping
eight or nine hours, getting up early, regular meals, a healthy diet and going
in for sports is really a good way to live.
Choose any element and explain your
choice. Make a short report about it. For example. Diet is very important to
keep your health, because…
