An Ounce of Prevention

by Willie

The expression, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,"applies very much to health care. It is much better to prevent a disease or injury than it is to treat it after it occurs. It is also better to find a disease early, when it is easier to treat. There are many things that we can do to help prevent health problems or injuries from occurring and to find health problems early. The ones that I feel are important are watching what you eat, wearing your seat belt, and exercising.

One important thing that we can do to help prevent health problems is watching what you eat, and how late you eat. There are so many ways you can do this. Here are a couple things that you can do. You can watch how many calories that you eat per day. Another can be just simply watching what you eat, meaning deciding if it's healthy or not. Examples are stuff that's not greasy, and things of that nature.

Another important thing that we can do to help prevent health problems is wearing seat belts when driving motored vehicles. Doing this can very well prevent injuries, or even death. Wearing seat belts saves lives every day.

An additional thing that we can do to help prevent health problems is exercise. You want to exercise at least three times a week. A few activities that you can do are running, riding a bike, or lifting weights. All of these activities are very good for preventing health problems.

I feel that the things that we can do to help prevent health problems or injuries from occurring and to find health problems early are watching what you eat, wearing your seat belt, and exercising. There are many other ways to prevent health problems, but I feel that these are very important ones.

Exercise

by Anthony

Exercise is very important. Some people don't believe so or they are just too lazy to do so. Exercise is good for your physical appearance and health. Exercise can also help with weight loss.

Exercise can help with your physical appearance. It can build and tone the muscles. For instance, a body builder is in excellent physical shape because of exercise. Not only can exercise get you in shape, it can make you very popular with the women.

Exercise can also help with your physical health. Exercise helps with cardio (breathing), blood flow, and keeps your brain thinking constantly. Exercise can help prevent heart attacks. Exercise keeps your heart rate steady.

Last, exercise can help you with weight loss. If you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet, you can lose weight. Also, you can keep a healthy metabolism, which helps with weight loss, too. Weight loss can also prevent heart attacks.

In conclusion, exercise is very important to the human body. Exercise helps with a lot of different things: physical health, physical look, and many different other things as well. If you want to stay fit, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet.

What Is Health?

Health is a very important part of life. If you have bad health, it can lead to diseases, sickness or even death. When you are in good health, you are more likely to live a better longer life. There are few things I consider about health: my diet, weight and regular doctor visits.

If you have a bad diet, there are many complications that can follow later in life. Heart conditions are caused by many sources. If you eat lots of fatty foods or sweets, you may become obese or even have a stroke because of all the fat around your arteries. Also, you may weaken your body's self defense system, which helps you fight off sickness. One way to prevent this is by eathing healthier foods and/or make an eating chart.

Another factor is weight. It is appropriate for you to be at a weight for your age and height. If your weight is not enough you may develop anorexia. That's a disorder where your body does not have enough nutrients and may eventually shut down. Another factor is being too heavy, where you may have shortness of breath, get asthma or heart disease. You much maintain a healthy lifestyle without damaging your body or just do certain activities without stressing yourself.

The last thing is maintaining regular doctor visits. By doing so you will find out more about your body that you may not know. Your doctor can give you advice on helping you stay healthy. They can also do tests to find out if you have any disease or special conditions that need to be treated. By doing this you will stay on top of your health.

If you do these three things you will insure your overall health to be better. Your diets controls what you are able to do. Your weight will be how easily you can do things. Seeing your doctor will insure your wellness. Once you have all of this down-packed you will be much happier.

It's a small idiom that has a very big and nice meaning in our life. Health is a very important part in a human's life. Taking care of life is our first responsibility. First healthy eating grows healthy minds and healthy bodies. We need healthful food. Basic exams of the body are very helpful. It is important for health. Different fruits, vegetables, and meats have very helpful vitamins. After an exam, we know about our health. Some conditions need medicine, and sometimes we take care of ourselves by vitamins and fresh juices. If we can take care of our health we will have a good long life with good health.
