Overeating causes many dangerous diseases. We shouldn’t snack and we should have breakfast. We should eat low-fat food, more fruit and vegetables, meat, milk products, which are rich in vitamins and proteins. We shouldn't eat at night. If you keep to a diet, you must do it carefully, because sometimes diets may be harmful.

To be healthy we should go to bed early and to get up early. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of your age should have a nine hours sleep.

Sections and take part in sport competitions. Sport helps to make people strong, brave and cheerful.

We can go in for sports in winter and in summer, indoors and outdoors. To keep fit, it is very useful to walk a lot, to play active games, to spend a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air.
