How to live a healthy life

I guess everybody wants to live a healthy life. But what can we do to encourage healthy living?

One really important aspect is food. Vegetables and fruits contain important vitamins our bodies need. The perfect amount of vegetables and fruits one should eat per day are 4 to 5 portions. We have such a wide range of healthy food we can choose from and it really helps our bodies to stay fit. Of course meat and eggs and also carbohydrates are really important for our health, but only in limited amounts.

To keep our bodies alive we need to drink a lot. What drinks are healthy? The best thing we can drink is water. Water is the most important thing for our bodies, because about two thirds of it consists of water. It is healthy because it doesn’t contain sugar and it stops thirst. Especially while doing sports it is important to drink water,  becuase we sweat and lose water.

Why can’t we drink juices instead of water? Juices contain a lot of sugar and other chemical ingedients. Of course it is okay to drink a glass of juice a day, but the majority of what we drink should be water.

The next aspect of living a healthy life I would like to address is sport. To keep your body fit and young it is important to do sports. There are thousand of different sports you can do and most are even fun! A lot of people go running or keep themselves busy in the fitness center. Others play soccer or bascetball. It doesn’t matter what you do , it is just important that you move your body everyday. Instead of watching TV and eating chocolate you could go running for only thirty minutes – that’s enough.

The last thing I want to talk about it sleep. Especially for younger people it is important to sleep nine to ten hours per day. Also for older people it is important, but the necessary amount is then only seven to eight hours.

These are four really important tips to live a healthy life and I hope it helps you to stay alive.
