Exercise 8: Read the text, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
These are some easy habits that help you stay healthy and live longer.
Go for a jog
Exercise is key to good health. Aerobic activity, like running, is crucial for getting your blood
pumping and your heart working. A recent study showed that people who run have 25 to 40 per cent
reduced risk of early death, and live about three years longer.
Get more sun - but not too much
The “sunshine vitamin” – vitamin D, that is – has been shown to fight to disease, improve bone
health, and prevent depression. Concerns over skin cancer are well-founded, and sunblock is generally
a good idea. But getting 15 to 30 minutes of sun exposure a day should be adequate for vitamin D
production.
Stress less
The impact of stress on our overall health is huge, so reducing stress is one way to lower our risk
of many deadly diseases.
Eat more fruits and veggies
If you want to live longer, eat more fruits and vegetables. The vitamins, minerals, and most
importantly, the fibre help control satiety so you do not need to eat much of the animal foods. High
fibre diets promote lower cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancers such as
colon cancer.
1. One of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to exercise.
2. Vitamin D comes from the sun.
3. Getting too much sun can be harmful.
4. Stress doesn’t impact on your health.
5. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and fibre.
6. A high fibre diet can cause heart disease and colon cancer.
Exercise 9: Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
Everyone suffers from the common cold at some time or other. It isn’t a serious illness, but people
spend a lot of money on medicine. The medicine can only relieve the symptoms. That is, it can make
you cough less, make you feel better, and stop your nose running for a while. So far, there is no cure
for the common cold and no medicine to prevent it. People also drink a lot of hot water with sugar,
lemon juice. It helps provide them with a lot of vitamin C.
