Today, due to (由于)numerous medical and scientific advances, people are living longer than ever before. But you have to be good to your body, mind, and soul. The following tips(小建議) are a good start for getting you on your way to living a long and healthy life.
Eat a balanced diet (飲食平衡)― one that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber and low in saturated(飽和的) fat, trans fat, and cholesterol.(膽固醇) A well-balanced diet can provide your body with the essential nutrients needed to achieve and maintain optimum （的） health.
Be physically active ― try to incorporate(并入) 30 minutes of activity into your day, every day. The options are endless; start walking on the beach in the mornings, try jogging (慢跑)with a friend, or go for a bike ride in the afternoons. Make sure you choose activities that you enjoy, that way you’ll be more likely to make them a habit.
Get regular preventive (預(yù)防)check-ups (體檢)― see your doctor regularly; remember your doctor is your partner in health care. By having regular check-ups, you may be able to catch small problems before they become big ones.
Be safe ― use common sense (常識)and be streetsmart (適應(yīng)都市生活的). Don’t put yourself in situations that are questionable. Always wear your seatbelt (安全帶)and bike helmet. Don’t go for a run, walk, or jog at night by yourself. Keep your home well lit and free of things that could make you fall.
Stay in touch with family and friends ― get to know your neighbors. Take the time to be involved with your community. By creating a strong social network, you will not only have friends to celebrate with when good things happen, but also a support system in difficult times.
Keep a positive attitude (積極的態(tài)度)― studies have shown that people who have a positive attitude tend to live longer, and lead healthier and happier lives. Try to find the humor in life. And remember to laugh.
