I ESSAY: Read the situation below and explain your answer in five to eight sentences. (5 points)
Cite at least four good health practices that you can do to keep yourself healthy and strong. Explain
and discuss each.

Eat well! Getting the right nutrition is the best way of ensuring your body has the adequate
amounts of fuel to keep you2 going. The main emphasis when it comes to eating healthily
should always be to get the balance on the point. The wise way to work at your best is to focus
on wholesome and varied foods that nourish you and meet your nutritional needs.
Exercise daily! Your body is much like a machine and it needs to move! Exercise improves your
cardiovascular fitness, your muscle tone, and definition, and keeps your joints and bones
strong. Exercise is also one of the best ways to clear stress and any mental/emotional
stagnation. 
Enough Sleep! The quality and quantity of sleep are very important to your health and well-
being because as you sleep your body regenerates. Ideally, most adults should aim for at least
6-8 hours1 good quality sleep each night. 
Do things that you enjoy! Sometimes you can get so caught up in daily life that you actually
put what you enjoy on the back burner. Life is about balance. Always make time in your life for
things that make you happy. All work and no play can leave you more at risk of stress and
health issues. Find time for some fun and play in your life!
Hydration! Staying hydrated is vital to your health. Your body can go for periods of time
without food but not without water. Your body is comprised of around 75% water and forms
the basis for metabolic processes, blood, body and digestive fluids, as well as being the main
component in lean muscle, fat, and bones.

 We are at our very best, and we are happiest,
when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy
on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves.
It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep.
It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.
