Which of your ideas are mentioned? What other ideas does it suggest? Rethink Your Way to Great Health L t's face it: many of us ate not too healthy. We often take an “all or nothing” approach to health. If we can't exercise every day, follow a healthy diet, or manage our stress levels, then we give up and do nothing. However, looking after our health doesn't have to take a lot of time and effort. It just takes a little thought. Follow these simple ideas and rethink your way to better heatth! First, get moving. How much are you exercising these days? Not a lot? Research shows not exercising is really bad for your health, If you can't afford to go to the gym, 90 running. Skip the elevator and take the stairs; don’t take the bus or train all the way ~ walk. Or, try exercising while you watch TY. Second, dor’t forget to take a break from work sometimes. Our bodies can’t go, go, go all day! We need to take regular breaks. If work is stressing you out, take a few deep breaths in between tasks. Try a relaxation technique, like meditation, or take a relaxing ten-minute walk. Next, be sure to make good food choices, When you get stressed, do you reach for a cookie? Don’t snack on junk food. Plan ahead and keep healthy snacks like fruit or nuts nearby. When you go shopping, buy only healthy foods for your next meal. If you have to order fast food choose something tight, go easy on the dressings, and ad a healthy side dish like a salad ot fruit. Finally, remember to sleep well. Don't fall asleep with the TV on. When you go to bed,-make sure your room is quiet, cool, and dark, Research shows it's the best way to get a good night's sleep, With simple changes like these, you can rethink your way to great health, one choice at a time. Its up to you! Read the article again. Answer the questions. Then compare with a partner. ‘Why do some people stop exercising and eating well? What relaxation technique does the article mention? What are some examples of healthy snacks from the article? ‘What healthy options do you have when you eat fast food? What kinds of things can you do to get more exercise?
