Each
of us has different habits. However, we sometimes try to do our best and do sth
for our health.
For example Martin:
I generally try to have a healthy lifestyle. I think about a sensible diet,
sport (doing regular exercises), not smoking cigarettes and not drinking plenty
of alcohol.Each member of my family usually eats what my mum makes. We aren’t fussy. There
are different meals: from really healthy ones to some sort of junk food. Nobody
smokes and takes drugs. Of course, as far as I know about that ;)What about sport?? My dad goes running every day. However, my mother and sister
don’t follow his example. Although we care about our health, we frequently have too little time to choose
what is appropriate for us. In the end… An old proverb says “a healthy mind is in a healthy body”. I truly believe
that.
Paul
does push ups and goes jogging almost every day. He also eats with his
whole family. His mother is a great cook. In addition, her meals are really
healthy. Both his mum and dad don’t smoke cigarettes and don’t drink a lot of
alcohol. However, Paul doesn’t follow their example and sometimes gets blind
drunk ;)
As far as Christopher is concerned he also eats healthily. He cares about his
figure. So, he often does exercises. Guess what his results from the physical
test were?? It’s obvious that he passed that “exam” with flying colors. His dad
and mum sometimes even train with him. Nevertheless, he isn’t fond of
vegetables. He eats plenty of sweets instead of them. His family also eats meals
together and takes delight in delicious and nutritious food.
And here is some information about Martin's habits once again:
Since I
have a sweet tooth I often eat loads of cakes and other sweets during some
parties. Another drawback of my lifestyle is that I’m extremely busy and I hardy ever take a rest.
I realize that it’s harmful, but I this like way of life. I do not always do my best and prepare
healthy meals. From time to time I make junk food dishes because it’s quite
fast.
I’ve scored 48 points from a healthy lifestyle test. On the other hand, I gained 65 points
so I’m quite satisfied with the results. My strongest points as far as sport is
concerned are my determination and condition. I like jogging so I really
enjoyed the Copper test.
On the other hand, I sometimes have problems with some activities and tasks that
require good dynamics and agility. I did
the worst in the flexibility test.
I’m perfectly convinced that sport is extremely significant in our life. And
that test confirmed it. We all noticed that if we want to be satisfied with
ourselves we must do our best to keep fit as how we feel physically affects the
way we feel mentally.
