Exercise 2. Read and translate the text:

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, are the worst ones.

Smoking and drinking are joined by less dangerous habits, such as 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.

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..

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.I think it is very important to be fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health.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 have a perfect health. And if your health is good, you are always in a good mood. You have “A sound mind in a sound body”, as the old Latin saying goes.

" DISCUSSING NUTRITION PROBLEMS"

but I don't yet understand why there is so much talk about nutrition

as a growing science

Tom (his American friend): Americans want to be healthy. But most

of us have no understanding of nutrition problems.

Simon: Whenever I see my family doctor, he advises me to stick to a low cholesterol diet.

Tom: And do you follow his advice?

Simon: It's hard to stick to a diet with my busy schedule.

Tom: For your health it's very important to get a balanced diet.

Simon: What is a balanced diet?

Tom: Adults can get a balanced diet by including foods from the four main groups. These are the milk group (milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy foods); the meat group (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and meat alternatives such as beans, lentils, and nuts); the bread group (bread, cereals, noodles etc.,); and the vegetable and fruit group.

Simon: Can people who don't eat meat or fish stay healthy?

Tom: Absolutely; by eating enough dairy foods and meat alternatives people can get essential proteins.

Simon: What about the nutritional value of canned vegetables that we buy at the supermarket?

Tom: The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are prepared than on whether they are bought fresh or canned.

Simon: I am amazed how knowledgeable you are. You could become a professional dietitian.
