READING PRACTICE

Specialists in any field should be healthy to be useful for the society.

Healthy way of life of students (the way how they live, study and rest) has always been very important. When students organize their daily routine they should take into consideration the main principles of healthy lifestyle, such as: healthy eating and sleeping habits, active way of life, avoiding unhealthy habits and learning how to overcome stress.

Unhealthy sleeping habits breakthe immune system. Systematic sleepless nights lead to serious physical and mental diseases. Doctors say we need full night sleep ( not less than 8 hours). To be fit young organism needs to keep to a well-balanced diet: to eat 4-5 meals during the day; drink 8 glasses of water daily; eat fresh fruit and vegetables, milk products, meat and fish; and avoid fat, sweet, salty and fried foods.

Unfortunately, student’s life gives little chances for healthy eating habits. Many students live far from home and don’t have a possibility to eat regular home meals. Some of them prefer fast foods (like hamburgers, chips, hot dogs and pizzas), although everybody knows that it is rich in calories and poor in useful elements.

In the era of modern television and internet passive way of life has become a reality of our life. But fortunately, it’s not about students.

They go skiing and skating in winter and go on toursabroad and around Belarus during summer vocations. Many students visit theatres, picture galleries and art museums.
