I am interested in health. Health is very important to living a happy and interesting life. If you are sick, or unhealthy, you cannot do many of the things you would like to do. You may not have enough energy to get involved in things that interest you, to enjoy your work, or to spend time helping others that are important to you. I searched for information about exercising to keep our bodies healthy. Here are some questions about what I found out. Can you answer them?
1. What is most important for your good health? (Eating right and getting enough exercise.)
2. When should you exercise? (In the afternoon. In the morning stiff muscles could be damaged.)
3. Why should you exercise? (It keeps your heart strong, your mind alert, improves your mood, and combats illness.)
4. Who should exercise? (Any one can benefit from exercise no matter how young or old.)
5. How often should you exercise? (The recommended amount is for at least 30 min. five days a week.)
