M: How concerned are you about health?

Every decision you make impacts your


life. Not only work, study, family or relationships, but also your health. Throughout
the day, we tend to make countless decisions, ranging from what we choose to eat
for lunch, what we are going to wear or how a situation can affect or not our mental
health. Tell me, have you thought about going to work riding a bike at least twice a
week? Do you know how badly junk food can affect our health if it persists in our
lives?
k: To be honest I don't really care about that. My car is still being new, so obviously
I don't need to biking a ride and walking to go to work either. On the other hand, I
usually eat fast food when I don't have much time to cook at home. And is
something that happens all the time. I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear that
eating junk food can be so dangerous. In the end everyone does it. Isn't that so?
M: I disagree with you. Research indicates that staying physically active can help
prevent or delay certain diseases. Not only cancers, heart disease and diabetes,
but also relieve depression and improve mood. So, one option could be go to work,
grocery or wherever you go riding a bike and by this way you can do some
exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Also, a bad eating habit can be eliminated
from your life if you want. For example, make small changes in your diet and
lifestyle to improve your health such as start each day with a nutritious breakfast or
buy some fruits to make a fruit salad in case you don't have anything for dinner.
k: That would be a good option. I remember when I tried to change my lifestyle but
it didn't go well. I used to eat pizza, hamburgers and sodas all the time for dinner. I
didn't believe our eating habits could affect my health until I came down with high
blood pressure. At the beginning I had headaches and I was exhausted all the
time. After I finding out I had high blood pressure I went to the doctor. Fortunately, I
could control it by taking some pills.
M: That must have been difficult. Why don’t you drop in on to a nutritionist? Like
exercise, your eating habits are often not good if you live and eat alone. It's
important for successful aging to eat foods rich in nutrients and avoid the empty
calories in candy and sweets. I'm not altogether sure eating vegetables and fruits
remove hunger, but it appears you can reduce the risk of suffer high blood
pressure. That's why you should make an appointment with the nutritionist.
