READING
8 Read the article. Match sentences A–G with gaps
1–5 in the text. There are two extra sentences.
Healthy body, healthy mind?
We all sometimes feel sad or depressed – life can be
stressful and there are often lots of challenges with study,
work and relationships. But did you realize that you have
more power to change your mood than you think? Here are
some suggestions on how to beat the blues!
Healthy snacks
It is well known that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is
good for your physical health, but the latest research
suggests that it might be good for mental health, too.
Scientists in Australia have found that the more fruit and
vegetables you eat, the better you feel. 1 ___ In both
studies, researchers measured people’s sense of life
satisfaction. The results suggest that one way to improve
your mental health could be something as simple as having
a salad with a meal every day. 2 ___
How you feel inside has a direct effect on mood and
concentration. So, a quick change in what you snack on is
an easy way to start feeling better!
This sporting life
Sports and fitness activities are a great way to lose weight,
build your muscles and feel stronger. They are also very
important in improving mood. Team games have a powerful
impact on well-being, as they are social as well as physical
activities. 3___ This is because you tend to work together
towards shared goals. But don’t worry, if you like being on
your own when you do sports, you can still get that feel-
good effect. How about climbing? People who climb use
a lot of concentration – they have to decide where to put
their hands and feet to be safe. Although this sounds
mentally challenging, this detailed focus on a physical
activity actually makes you relax! Studies show that training
programmes where you pay attention to your movements
can be as calming as yoga!
Many people, however, prefer to be on the move. 4___
But you don’t need an athletics track to train regularly.
In fact, trail running on uneven ground such as hills or
woodland has a big effect on how you feel mentally. There’s
a bit more challenge running somewhere where you might
trip, sprain an ankle or wrist or even break a leg. 5___
This can help you forget other worries in life, and clear your
mind.
So remember, if you’re concerned about your mood, think
about following a healthier diet or putting on some trainers.
You might just start to feel a bit better.

D This has been confirmed by UK research which involved
more than 40,000 participants.
E It proves that taking part in team games helps improve
your speed and strength.
F This is because fruit and vegetables contain many
nutrients which are good for the bacteria living in your
body.
G However, there is an increased risk of injury during this
kind of activity which limits the benefits.
