Read the texts, match choices. There are two choices you do not need to use.
Which method...?
A Good Diet
The Greek diet is famous as one of the healthiest in the world; it isn`t just a diet, it`s also a way of life! Vegetables are prevalent in Greek cooking, but it`s a balanced diet, which also includes plenty of olive oil, fish and chicken, so it`s high in protein and unsaturated fats. Also, it isn`t unusual for people to enjoy a glass of wine with their meal. As for snacks, a Greek diet allows for fruit, nuts and yoghurt, which all help with healthy digestion, and also the occasional sweet treat - as long as you don`t eat too much!
Massage
Thai massage goes back thousands of years. It isn`t regarded as an occasional pleasure. It`s part of a routine that is supposed to heal a number of different ailments, including headaches, stress and depression. It is also thought to boost energy levels and improve blood flow around the body. The aim is to relax the whole body using gentle pressure and stretching techniques. Thai massage practitioners use a system that is very different from other types of massage. Where many of us are used to lying still, in Thai massage you participate actively in the process.
Cycling
People in the Netherlands are dedicated cyclist: cycling is part of their life, whether they`re getting to work, school or just doing a bit of shopping. 27% of all journeys are made by bike, and a 2015 study found that, due to the health benefits of cycling, around 11,000 deaths are prevented each year. Moreover, the study also found that Dutch people live on average half a year longer than other Europeans due to their more active lifestyle. Towns and cities in the Netherlands make biking safe and easy with clearly marked cycle lanes, parking spaces and bike racks.
Ayurverda
Ayurverda is a healing system which developed in India more than 5,000 years ago. It is concerned with treating the whole person - the mind, body and spirit, because these are thought to affect each other. The system of Ayurverda claims we can stay healthy and live for a long time by balancing three forces in ourselves: Vata (wind/air), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (earth/water). Vata people are thought to be imaginative, but also impulsive and anxious. Pittas are self-confident and well organized, but can be impatient and angry. Kaphas ae sympathetic and kind but can be lazy and tend to suffer from depression. According to Ayurverda, understanding what type of person you are can make you healthier and happier.
Work-Life Balance
The World Happiness Report places in the top three happiest countries out of 155 countries that were surveyed. In Denmark people pay high taxes, but they believe they are investing money in a better quality of life. Education - from kindergarten to university - is free. Hospital treatment is free. Daily care for the elderly at home is also free. With a 37-hour working week, Denmark is also getting the work-life balance right. Many people leave work early to pick up their children. Childcare is much cheaper in Denmark than in many other countries, and almost all mothers of younger children are able to work if they want to.
