Staying healthy is important but many people neglect (忽视) their health because they don’t think they have the time to look after it. It’s not just a time issue; people think it is boring to spend time on their health. In reality you can do some simple things to get healthier and have fun.
There are some fun things that hardly seem like they are for keeping you healthy at all but they do help. The first thing you can do. Believe it or not is singing. Singing improves your oxygen(氧气) flow which in turn is good for your skin and immune system. It’s also good for your brain. Another feel-good and health-improving activity is laughing. You can watch a funny movie. Laughing is a healthy way to reduce stress and pain improve brain function lower blood pressure and protect the heart.
Laughing and singing might go together but for something completely normal that you do every dayyou should eat to stay healthy. It is unhealthy not to eat breakfast or try to work on an empty stomach. You can eat some fruit or other healty snacks instead of missing a meal.
Exercise is important to staying healthy but it often feels more like work than fun. One thing you can do to have more fun is attend a dance class. Dancing in a safe environment is good exercise as well as fun. Taking classes in kung fu can be a lot of fun as well. Kung fu can be a great way to lose weight but you should probablyconsult your doctor before starting if you are in bad health or very overweight.
