Healthy lifestyle — топик по английскому языку с переводом на русский и полезными выражениями и словами по теме. Текст поможет обогатить словарный запас и подготовиться к ЕГЭ, ОГЭ или другим экзаменам.
Modern life is very chaothic and stressful. That’s why we should keep to a healthy lifestyle in order not to get depressed and not to feel bad. A healthy lifestyle consists of active mode of life, healthy diet, avoiding of stress and absence of bad habits.
If you are active, you feel better. You may go to a gym or a swimming pool, do some other sport or simply walk more. Sport is a good way to reduce stress and improve your state of health and gruntle you. It is also possible to exercise or walk with someone. If you train with friends, you will enjoy yourself even more.
A diet is also very important. You should eat regularly and choose fresh and healthy food. It is essential to eat enough fruit, vegetables, and meat. Don’t eat too much sugar or consume sweet fizzy drinks. Sugar affects your heart and can’t fill you for a long time.
Finally, you should try to avoid stress or at least take it easy and don’t be too nervous. Nervousness has a negative impact on our health and causes many diseases. So do the bad habits. Smoking and drinking too much alcohol can be very harmful.
Thus, it is not so difficult to lead a healthy life. It may become your good habit. As soon as you improve your quality of life, regulate your diet and physical exercises, you will see good results and feel yourself much better. You won’t have an idea of returning to your previous lifestyle anymore.
Перевод:
Современная жизнь очень хаотична и полна стресса. Поэтому мы должны придерживаться здорового образа жизни, чтобы не впасть в депрессию и не иметь плохого самочувствия. Здоровый образ жизни состоит из активного образа жизни, правильного питания, избегания стресса и отсутствия вредных привычек.
Если вы активны, вы чувствуете себя лучше. Вы можете посещать спортзал или бассейн, заниматься спортом или просто больше ходить пешком. Спорт – хороший способ снизить стресс и улучшить свое состояние здоровья и повысить настроение. Также можно упражняться или гулять с кем-то. Если вы тренируетесь с друзьями, вы насладитесь процессом даже больше.
Питание также очень важно. Вам следует питаться регулярно и выбирать свежую и здоровую пищу. Важно есть достаточное количество фруктов, овощей и мяса. Не ешьте слишком много сахара и не употребляйте сладких газированных напитков. Сахар влияет на сердце и не может насытить вас на долгое время.
Наконец, вам следует попробовать избегать стрессов или хотя бы не принимать близко к сердцу и не быть слишком нервными. Нервозность негативно воздействует на наше здоровье и приводит ко многим болезням. Так же, как и вредные привычки. Курение и употребление большого количества алкоголя может быть губительным.
Таким образом, придерживаться здорового образа жизни не так уж сложно. Это может стать вашей хорошей привычкой. Как только вы улучшите качество своей жизни, упорядочите свое питание и физические нагрузки, вы увидите хорошие результаты и почувствуете себя гораздо лучше. Вам даже в голову не придет вернуться к прежнему образу жизни.

Introduction.
“Wealth is nothing without health, Health is above wealth”.
Good afternoon dear friends!
We have to discuss “Healthy Life” today.
Health is supposed to be interesting for everybody. I think health is the first wealth.
A lot of people never exercise. They often eat the wrong food and smoke as well. These people become unhealthy.
Our project is open for every person who takes care about health and for those who studies English.
Then our project is for you — join us!!!
I. What does a healthy way of life mean? How do you look after your health?
People nowadays are more health-conscious than they used to be. They understand that good health is above wealth. To be healthy we should avoid different bad habits that can affect our health. In my opinion, smoking, and drinking too much alcohol, is the worst ones. It’s common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives dramatically. Smoking, for example, causes a number of heart and lung diseases, such as pneumonia, emphysema and cancer. Besides, it makes your teeth yellow and skin unhealthy. Fortunately, in recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer people smoke nowadays. Some companies don’t employ people who are smokers. Smoking has been banned in most public places because everyone agrees it does harm to our health. I don’t smoke, because I don’t want to have unhealthy skin and teeth and die young. Smoking and drinking are joined by less dangerous habits, such as skipping meals, eating unhealthy food, or even overeating. Of course, they are not quite as deadly as smoking or drinking alcohol, but they also affect our health. If we eat too much, we’ll become obese, and obesity leads to serious health problems. A lot of people like drinking coca cola and coffee, and enjoy pizzas and hamburgers. But what is tasty is not always healthy. Fast food makes you fat that is why Americans are the fattest people in the world. In recent years eating habits have undergone a change. People are encouraged to eat less fat and more fibre. Fat is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. High fibre and low fat foods can now be found in all shops and supermarkets. Salads, beans, and fruit have taken the place of steak and ice cream. The fashion for health food is growing all the time. Many people feel they are too fat, even if their doctors disagree. And a lot of people try to improve their fitness. There are a lot of ways to lose weight and avoid gaining it. Perhaps the most popular of them is following a diet. If you want to lose weight, you should cut out snacks and desserts, and cut down on fat. People have also become more aware of calories, the energy value of food. Some people count the number of calories they eat every day; so that they can try to take in fewer calories and lose weight. This is called a calorie-controlled diet. Manufacturers are increasingly producing special foods with fewer calories for slimmers. But excessive dieting may be dangerous, too. Some people refuse to eat meat as they consider it harmful. They say a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of cancer and vegetarians live longer than others. I can’t agree with them, because meat is an excellent source of good nutrition. In my opinion, it’s wrong to put down a food simply because excessive amounts can cause health problems. Consumed in moderate amounts, meat is perfectly good for our health. To my mind, the only way to stay healthy and to keep fit is by going in for sports. Among the benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, stronger bones, quicker reaction times and more resistance to various illnesses. Besides, you can eat and drink as much as you want because you are burning it all off. To be healthy, it is also very important to spend a lot of time in the open air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed, or to air the room.
2.1. Nutrition and Health.
Eating the proper food is important to stay healthy. People need vitamins to stay in a good form. “Vita” means life in Latin. People get vitamins from the food they eat. There a lot of vitamins in fruit and vegetables. But you can hardly find any useful vitamins in Coke, chips and other fast food. Each vitamin is responsible for different things in the human body. There are about ten major vitamins. They are usually named by a letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, D).
Vitamin B6 and K are necessary for human blood. You can find B6 in beans and milk; K – in potatoes and carrots.
2.1 Don’t smoke.
Don’t smoke! Do you think you are strong enough to follow this advice? It looks smart in old movies, and it seems that everybody does it. But that is just a clever form of advertising. Smoking is unhealthy.
It is unpleasant and harmful to non-smokers, too, and a serious fire risk. It is offensive in public places like cafes and schools. Any form of addiction or excess is unhealthy, whether it is tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sugary things, or money. It may be a sign of not growing up and not being able to cope.
Do you know that 16th of November is the day when people all over the world quit smoking?
Do you know that every year 3 million people die of smoking?
Do you know that your life is 25% shorter if you smoke?
Do you know that only 13% of the population smoke in the USA, but in Russia – more than 76%? 400,000 people die in Russia every year as a result of smoking. Imagine that a whole town like Ufa disappears every year.
In Britain smoking is now forbidden in many public places: on the underground, on stations, in shops, in theatres and in cinemas.
Those who smoke are weak because if they see somebody smoking they join them.
Dear Friend!
Please answer these questions. It doesn’t take you a lot of time. Please answer truthfully!
Thank you.

The results of exploration.
I had made the analysis of this exploration and came up to the conclusion: 75% of men and 30% of women are subjected to smoking.
Each of the respondents answered that the main negative consequence of smoking is the harm to health.
2.3. Sport as a Lifestyle.
If you want to feel fit you’d better go in for one kind of sport or another. I should admit that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. “You have a sound mind in a sound body” as the old Latin saying goes. The English proverb “Sickness in the body brings sickness to the mind” expresses a similar idea but from different point of view. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tell the truth I don’t do sports regularly and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to awake. Then some aerobics for myself. It puts me into the fine moods. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful river with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter, it’s rather long at our place, I should say, I prefer skiing. There is nothing like the sight of a winter forest - a real fairy-tale. I like to ride the bike and tobogganing in winter. Mum says that I’m too old to do it, why not after all? I shouldn’t call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV. Fortunately, they show different ones - football, basketball. I like tennis tournaments very much. I think, it’s a very intelligent kind of sport for clever thinking people. Also I admire skiing championships, biathlon and swimming. But what I like most is basketball. The best games are viewed on TV. I came to know that modern basketball appeared in 1891 in the USA. Since then basketball has become very popular and is spread all over the world. It is the sport of strong tall men, the sport of giants.
Doing sports a man become strong, healthy and gay. He begins to take care of his health.
“Good health is better than wealth”, you know. It’s true, I should say. In our school we have a nice gym. Sports and games are popular among pupils.
2.4. Keeping fit.
To keep fit most people do sports. Some of them join a sports club. The most popular individual sports are walking, swimming, cycling and aerobics.
People work hard. They come home late and are busy at weekends. They have no time to go to a sports club or sports centre which isn’t quite near their homes. They can hardly do sport seriously. They just want to relax.
People of all ages and types do exercises at home to improve their health and to keep fit. In the morning they switch on TV and follow fitness classes at home or go jogging in the park in the evening. To jog or not to jog? On the one hand, every one should think about a healthy way of life… But on the other hand – getting up early at the weekend? Never! And what about swimming? What real pleasure is there in the pool? The warming up before swimming helps you to feel great. And quite good music. These 15 minutes of aerobics and 30 minutes of swimming work wonders. Very refreshing. After that you feel ready for the next week’s marathon. Instead of swimming or jogging you could go on a cycling tour. This kind of sport also does people a lot of good, and the morning air smells wonderful.
But I also believe beauty has to be physical and spiritual. What do I mean when talking about spiritual beauty? I mean the beauty of the inner world of a person: kindness, responsibility, willingness to help, friendliness and other traits of character.
Such person will give warmth to the people that surround him or her. In my opinion, a truly beautiful person must combine physical beauty with good traits of character.
Conclusion.
I think it is very important to be fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health. Being fat, in fact, can cause real problems. It is harder for fat people to get a good job, or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. That’s why I go in for sports on a regular basis. I have been doing aerobics for three years and I feel great. I am not enthusiastic about strict dieting, but I try to eat only low-fat food, and fruit and vegetables which are rich in vitamins. Personally I believe that regularity in life promotes our health. Sleeping eight or nine hours, getting up early, regular meals, a healthy diet and going in for sports is really a good way to live.

Scientists say that in the future people will live longer. With healthier lifestyles and better medical care the average person will live to 90 or 100 instead of 70 and 75 like today. When the human genome is decoded, we'll probably live up to 150. Incurable diseases will be cured and "bad" genes replaced.
But that's tomorrow. And today, we continue to stuff ourselves with fast food — chips and pizzas, hamburgers and hot dogs. We are always in a hurry. We have no time to enjoy a home-cooked dinner with family and friends. We want to eat now and we want to eat fast. What is tasty is not always healthy. Doctors say that chips and pizzas are fattening, cola spoils our teeth and coffee shortens our lives.
If we eat too much, we'll become obese, and obesity leads to heart disease, diabetes and other serious illnesses. But the world today is getting fatter and fatter. America is the world's leader in obesity, but Europe is quickly catching up.
Lack of exercise is another serious problem. We spend hours in front of our computers and TV-sets. Few of us do morning exercises. We walk less, because we prefer to use cars or public transport. Research shows, however, that young people who don't take enough exercise often suffer from heart attacks.
It's common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives dramatically. Cigarette-smoking, for example, kills about 3 million people every year. Many of them die from lung cancer. Some aren't even smokers. They are people who live or work with heavy smokers. Yet many young people smoke and drink. Why? One answer is that tobacco and drinks companies invest enormous sums of money in advertising their products. For them cigarettes and alcoholic drinks mean money. For us they mean disease and even death.
We all know that the healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live. So why not take care of ourselves?
Ученые говорят, что в будущем люди будут жить дольше. Ведя здоровый образ жизни и с улучшением медицинского обслуживания, в среднем человек будет жить до 90 или 100 вместо 70 и 75, как сегодня. Когда человеческий геном декодируется, мы, вероятно, доживем до 150. Неизлечимые болезни будут вылечены, а "плохие" гены заменены.
Но это завтра. А сегодня мы по-прежнему продолжаем запихивать в себя фаст-фуд- чипсы и пиццы, гамбургеры и хот-доги. Мы всегда торопимся. У нас нет времени, чтобы насладиться домашним обедом с семьей и друзьями. Мы хотим есть, и мы хотим есть быстро. Но то, что вкусно, не всегда здорово. Врачи говорят, что чипсы и пицца полнят, кола портит зубы, а кофе сокращает нашу жизнь.
Если мы едим слишком много, мы страдаем ожирением, а ожирение приводит к болезням сердца, диабету и другим серьезным заболеваниям. Но мир сегодня становится все толще и толще. Америка является лидером в мире по ожирению, но и Европа быстро наверстывает упущенное.
Недостаток движения еще одна серьезная проблема. Мы часами сидим перед нашими компьютерами и телевизорами. Мало кто из нас делает утреннюю зарядку. Мы ходим меньше, потому что мы предпочитаем использовать автомобили и общественный транспорт. Исследования показывают, однако, что молодые люди, которые не делают достаточно упражнений, часто страдают от сердечных приступов.
Всем известно, что курение и употребление алкоголя может привести к сокращению нашей жизни. Сигареты, например, убивает около 3 млн человек в год. Многие из них умирают от рака легких. Некоторые из них даже не курят. Это люди, которые живут или работают с тяжелыми курильщиками. Однако многие молодые люди курят и пьют. Почему? Ответ заключается в том, что табачные изделия и напитки компании инвестируют огромные средства в рекламу своих продуктов. Для них сигареты и алкогольные напитки- это деньги. Для нас это означает болезнь и даже смерть.
Мы все знаем, что чем здоровее мы становимся, тем лучше мы себя чувствуем. Чем лучше мы себя чувствуем, тем больше мы живем. Так почему бы не позаботиться о себе?

Nowadays our life is getting more and more tense. People live under the press of different problems, such as social, ecological, economic and others. They constantly suffer from stress, noise and dust in big cities, diseases and instability. A person should be strong and healthy in order to overcome all difficulties.
To achieve this aim people ought to take care of their physical and mental health. There are several ways to do it. The state of your body depends on how much time you spend doing sports. At least everybody must do morning exercises every day. The most healthy kinds of sports are swimming, running and cycling.
Healthy food is also a very important factor. Overeating causes many dangerous diseases. The daily menu should include meat, fruit and vegetables, milk product, which are rich in vitamins, fat, proteins and etc. On the other hand modern diets are very popular especially among women. Diets may be harmful, if they are used in the wrong way.
To be healthy, people should get rid of their bad habits. It's necessary to stop smoking and drinking much. Everyone should remember that cigarettes, alcohol and drugs destroy both body and brain. Besides according to statistics most of crimes are committed by people under the influence of drugs and alcohol. In addition it is recommended to watch TV less, avoid anxiety and observe daily routine.
Certainly it's hard to follow all these recommendations, but every person have to choose between healthy life style and numerous illnesses.
1. What does a healthy way of life mean? How do you look after your health?
People nowadays are more health-conscious than they used to be. They understand that good health is above wealth. To be healthy we should avoid different bad habits that can affect our health. In my opinion, smoking, and drinking too much alcohol, is the worst ones. It’s common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives dramatically. Smoking, for example, causes a number of heart and lung diseases, such as pneumonia, emphysema and cancer. Besides, it makes your teeth yellow and skin unhealthy.

Besides, you can eat and drink as much as you want because you are burning it all off. To be healthy, it is also very important to spend a lot of time in the open air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed, or to air the room.
2. Healthy Life. Nutrition and Health.
Eating the proper food is important to stay healthy. People need vitamins to stay in a good form. “Vita” means life in Latin. People get vitamins from the food they eat. There a lot of vitamins in fruit and vegetables. But you can hardly find any useful vitamins in Coke, chips and other fast food. Each vitamin is responsible for different things in the human body. There are about ten major vitamins. They are usually named by a letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, D).
Vitamin A is in green and yellow vegetables, milk and eggs. It’s necessary for seeing in the dark.
Vitamin B1 is in meat, porridge and bread. B1 is responsible for the nervous system. Lack of this vitamin leads to serious illnesses and even death.

Vitamin B6 and K are necessary for human blood. You can find B6 in beans and milk; K – in potatoes and carrots.
3. Don’t smoke.
Don’t smoke! Do you think you are strong enough to follow this advice? It looks smart in old movies, and it seems that everybody does it. But that is just a clever form of advertising. Smoking is unhealthy.
It is unpleasant and harmful to non-smokers, too, and a serious fire risk. It is offensive in public places like cafes and schools. Any form of addiction or excess is unhealthy, whether it is tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sugary things, or money. It may be a sign of not growing up and not being able to cope.
Do you know that 16th of November is the day when people all over the world quit smoking?
Do you know that every year 3 million people die of smoking?
Do you know that your life is 25% shorter if you smoke?
Do you know that only 13% of the population smoke in the USA, but in Russia – more than 76%? 400,000 people die in Russia every year as a result of smoking. Imagine that a whole town like Ufa disappears every year.
In Britain smoking is now forbidden in many public places: on the underground, on stations, in shops, in theatres and in cinemas.
Those who smoke are weak because if they see somebody smoking they join them.
4. Sport as a Lifestyle.
If you want to feel fit you’d better go in for one kind of sport or another. I should admit that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Good health is better than the best medicine. “You have a sound mind in a sound body” as the old Latin saying goes. The English proverb “Sickness in the body brings sickness to the mind” expresses a similar idea but from different point of view. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong and to keep ourselves fit and healthy. To tell the truth I don’t do sports regularly and it is not an essential part of my daily life. In the morning I do some exercises just to awake. Then some aerobics for myself. It puts me into the fine moods. In summer I go swimming as there is a beautiful river with pure water where my Granny lives. In winter, it’s rather long at our place, I should say, I prefer skiing. There is nothing like the sight of a winter forest - a real fairy-tale. I like to ride the bike and tobogganing in winter. Mum says that I’m too old to do it, why not after all? I shouldn’t call myself a sports fan. Of course, I like to watch sports competitions on TV. Fortunately, they show different ones - football, basketball. I like tennis tournaments very much. I think, it’s a very intelligent kind of sport for clever thinking people. Also I admire skiing championships, biathlon and swimming. But what I like most is basketball. The best games are viewed on TV. I came to know that modern basketball appeared in 1891 in the USA. Since then basketball has become very popular and is spread all over the world. It is the sport of strong tall men, the sport of giants.
Doing sports a man become strong, healthy and gay. He begins to take care of his health.
“Good health is better than wealth”, you know. It’s true, I should say. In our school we have a nice gym. Sports and games are popular among pupils.
5. Keeping fit.
To keep fit most people do sports. Some of them join a sports club. The most popular individual sports are walking, swimming, cycling and aerobics.
People work hard. They come home late and are busy at weekends. They have no time to go to a sports club or sports centre which isn’t quite near their homes. They can hardly do sport seriously. They just want to relax.
People of all ages and types do exercises at home to improve their health and to keep fit. In the morning they switch on TV and follow fitness classes at home or go jogging in the park in the evening. To jog or not to jog? On the one hand, every one should think about a healthy way of life… But on the other hand – getting up early at the weekend? Never! And what about swimming? What real pleasure is there in the pool? The warming up before swimming helps you to feel great. And quite good music. These 15 minutes of aerobics and 30 minutes of swimming work wonders. Very refreshing. After that you feel ready for the next week’s marathon. Instead of swimming or jogging you could go on a cycling tour. This kind of sport also does people a lot of good, and the morning air smells wonderful.
But I also believe beauty has to be physical and spiritual. What do I mean when talking about spiritual beauty? I mean the beauty of the inner world of a person: kindness, responsibility, willingness to help, friendliness and other traits of character.
Such person will give warmth to the people that surround him or her. In my opinion, a truly beautiful person must combine physical beauty with good traits of character.
Conclusion.
I think it is very important to be fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health. Being fat, in fact, can cause real problems. It is harder for fat people to get a good job, or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. That’s why I go in for sports on a regular basis. I have been doing aerobics for three years and I feel great. I am not enthusiastic about strict dieting, but I try to eat only low-fat food, and fruit and vegetables which are rich in vitamins. Personally I believe that regularity in life promotes our health. Sleeping eight or nine hours, getting up early, regular meals, a healthy diet and going in for sports is really a good way to live.
Choose any element and explain your choice. Make a short report about it. For example. Diet is very important to keep your health, because…
