Keeping fit does not only mean healthy habits. It is also very important to avoid stress. You will be able to do it if you follow these rules.Let’s read the text and answer the questions after it.
Three rules to be healthy
Rule one. Laugh often. It is very good for your health. Of all the animals only we humans can laugh. We laugh when we react to something funny or pleasant. When we laugh so many parts of our body take pert and exercise: the face, the arms, the legs and the chest. Ancient people said “Laughter is the best medicine.” Scientists proved that laughter help to cure illnesses.
Rule two. Sleep well. Most of us need seven or eight hours of sleep. When somebody says he has been sleeping less than a couple of hours for a week, pity him. If you stay for a week, you will get hallucinations and after doctors cure you of them – you will have a long lasting depression. So try not to sleep less than you need.
Rule three. Have a hobby. Hobbies make us feel sociable, busy, interested and happy. The best pastime surely is the one when we have to exercise. If gardening or keeping a dog is not for you, grow cactuses, buy an aquarium, play the guitar or collect postcards – get pleasure from anything but food. Many people open their fridges not of hunger but because they just have nothing to do!
