Health and Illness
To keep in good health you must try to lead a healthy life. You have to eat
healthy food, that is, little fat and sugar and lots of vegetables and fruit. You
must do some sports regularly.
In Hungary perhaps influenza is the most common disease but there are a lot
of people who suffer from different kinds of allergies. The most common
causes of death are cancer and heart attack.
I think people should go to the dentist twice a year, and of course whenever
there is problem with their teeth. The dentist fills the tooth or pulls it out. Our
school has a school dentist and all students go to see him twice a year. He
examines our teeth and gives advice on what to do with them. Some students
need braces to correct the position of their teeth.
Smoking is very harmful. It’s bad for your lungs and teeth. In Hungary it is
forbidden to smoke in public places. There are separate rooms for smokers and
non-smokers in most restaurants. Second hand smoking is also dangerous
because non-smokers breathe in smoke from smokers’ cigarettes.
More and more young people try drugs. They think that if they don’t try it, they
will become outsiders. They don’t have enough information about the dangers.
But giving up drugs is very difficult because they are addictive. It’s enough to
try drugs only once or twice to get addicted.
