Our health is the only thing we really have in the world. Someone can take away our money, our house, or our clothes and we can still survive. If our health is taken away, we will die. That is why I eat fresh food, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life.

Eating healthfully is important for maintaining one’s health. I try to avoid food containing large amounts of fat, like French fries or cookies. I also try to limit the amount of animal protein I consume. I never eat more than a few ounces of fish or chicken a day and I rarely eat meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit, which are full of fiber and vitamins. It is important to know how to cook these foods so that the nutrients are not lost in the process.

Your muscles must continue to be strong to support your body as it grows older. Exercise helps the bones build density and helps you maintain your posture. A regular exercise program of cardiovascular and weight training is an important part of keeping you healthy.

Friends are an important part of one’s health. Studies have shown that people with many social contacts get fewer colds and have fewer complaints compared to those who don’t. Laughing is also an important part of good health. I like to laugh with my friends and I always feel better when I am with them than when I am alone.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can maintain an appropriate weight and stay healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind and body in good condition. It’s all part of my recipe for healthful living.
