Healthy Lifestyle Choices By: Alyssa

Everyone can be healthy, but then again, you get to decide how, and when. If you start out healthy, and keep it that way then your life will most likely be easier. Some people think it is a lot easier to eat unhealthy foods, and it is, but a lot of people need to re-think that, and for the people who have already made that healthy choice, good job!

One way to keep healthy is to get exersize. One way to do so is to play outside. You can play games, like tag, basketball, soccer, football, tennis, volleball, catch, and baseball. Other ways to exersize outside are to play with your pets,(only if they are outside pets and they won't run away), take a walk, swim, hike, play at the park ,and jump on a trampoline if you have one! Some ways to exersize inside, are to play racketball, jumprope, if you have the space, and to swim in an indoor swimming pool.

Another way to stay healthy is to eat healthy foods. Some healthy foods are vegtables, such as carrots, green vegtables, apples, grapes, pomagranets, melons, cherries, bread dairy, protien, and a lot of grain. People tend to like theese foods, and they aren't the only ones that are healthy. If you eat healthy, it is okay to eat unhealthy foods every once in a while, but not constantly, and in large portions. Some of my favorite healthy foods are a favorite to a lot of people! It is also important to get antioxidents and fibers. Some foods that have theese are pomagranets, and grains. You should have 5+ servings of grain, 3 servings of dairy, 3 servings of protien, 3 servings of fruit, and 4 servings of vegtables.

The last thing you need to stay healthy is sleep. You should at the least get 8 hours of sleep. Rest and sleep are important because it gives you more energy, and lets you rest your body, so you don't feel tired all day. Sleep is also inportant because without sleep, you will, when you don't get enough sleep you will sleep longer when you do get a chance. Sleep is also important when you have had a busy day, when you didn't get a lot of sleep, or whenever you ar under stress. You shouldn't eat right before you go to sleep, because then you cant burn off the energy right away, and if you do eat right before you go to sleep, make sure it is healthy.

Sleep, exersize, and healthy foods are part of staying healthy, but there are different ways to stay healthy too, like staying away from germs, and washing your hands frequently, along with cleaning and wiping down objects that are frequently touched. You should also stay away from alcohal and drugs. Being healthy is important, and helpful. Type in the content of your page here.
