HEALTHY AND TREATMENT

Good Health Is Above Wealth
There is a good proverb in English:» Good health is above wealth». Health was valued greatly in all times and in all countries.
The ancients said: «A sound mind in a sound body». Therefore we must live a (health) life. A healthy way of life consists of physical exercises, good plain food, absence of bad habits, such as (smokе) and (drink). Our town life today gives us little opportunities for (physic) exercises and motion. We have running water and central heating in our flats, we like to sit in a comfortable armchair and watch TV on our days off. We often forget that fresh air and exercises are good for the health.
We eat much meat and sugar, but not much fruit and vegetables. The problem of food is very important for the healthy way of life. We may again remember another English proverb: «An apple a day keeps the doctor away». Doctors always advise us to eat more vegetables and fruit, because there are very many vitamins in them.
Everybody who has bad habits must try to give them up, if he doesn’t want to fall ill. Besides, it is not very (use) to sit up late at night before a TV-set and sleep till noon the next day. And another English proverb says: «Early to bed, early to rise makes the man healthy, wealthy and wise».
A person is healthy when he is free of illness. But if you are ill or have sharp pain you have to go to the doctor immediately. He will listen to your lungs. Then the doctor will take your blood pressure and feel your pulse. If you have a bad cold, а high temperature and hacking cough, when you have a sore throat, it will be difficult for you to swallow and to breathe.
Perhaps the doctor will ask you to buy the medicine and to stay in bed for some days. If the doctor (prescribe) a medicine for you, you should take it (regular). You will drink warm milk if you have a (run) nose. You will recover (early) if you stay in bed.
People all over the world are fond of sport and games. Sport makes people healthy and swimming-pools, skating rinks, football fields.
In general, our people are fond of sport and games, but many of them watch football, hockey and basketball on TV, lying on a comfortable sofa.
If you want to keep fit you must go in for one kind of sport or another.
Sport, healthy food and absence of bad habits help us to live a healthy life. It can help us to relax and to keep fit, to make new friends and to plan our life, to develop our mind and body and to be strong.
