Healthy Living - example of written text
I am going to write about healthy living, because health is very
important to people.
If you want to be healthy, you have to follow some rules. I am going
to write about them.
The most important things for a healthy life are exercise, healthy
food and sleep.
If you want to keep a good shape you should do exercise three times
a week and you can choose what type of exercise you like: riding a
bike, playing football, playing basketball, rollerskating, etc.
Food is very important for our life because it is the fuel we need to be
able to have energy. You should eat six times a day: breakfast,
morning snack, lunch, two afternoon snacks and dinner.
You should eat different types of food: fruit and vegetables, meat or
other proteins, like fish, grains and some sugar and fats. You should
avoid fast food because it's dangerous for your health, but now there
is the Slow Food movement, where people eat traditional food and
they eat slowly.
Sleeping is very important and we should sleep at least eight hours
every night for our body to recover energy that it spent during the
day.
