Monologue: Healthy life

I've been asked to talk about healthy life.

To start with, it is important to define what we understand for healthy life. A healthy life is a way of living which improves your health and so, it can help you to extent your life and also it can improve its quality.

And having good health means being in good physical and mental condition. Therefore if you are leading a healthy life, you will be doing things in order to improve your physical and mental condition.

Some things you can do to lead a healthy life are:

- Reducing or even removing consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol and tobacco are the cause of many health problems.
- Choosing a diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products. This type of feeding provides needed vitamins, minerals, fiber, and carbohydrates, and it is generally lower in fat to help you maintain a healthy weight.
- Using sugar in moderation, sugar has many calories and few nutrients and it can contribute to tooth decay.
- Using salt in moderation too, this helps lower your risk of high blood pressure.
- Doing exercise on a regular basis. It can help you maintain a healthy weight, and it lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. Also you can include exercises to raise your flexibility, it will give you greater range of motion in your joints and it will reduce your chances of injury.
- Reducing stress. Your body responds to everyday stress with a release of hormones that prepares you to react. If you don't relieve this state through relaxation, the effects build up and they can create muscular pain, headaches, sleep disturbances and other symptoms.
- Sleeping seven to nine hours. The body's self-repair takes place when you are asleep.

In conclusion, healthy living is a combination of many things, including good feeding, regular exercise and a positive attitude. For a longer and more comfortable life, design your plan for a healthy lifestyle and live according to it.
