How to Keep Healthy

Nowadays, more and more people know the importance of keeping healthy. Without good health, we can do nothing. For me, there are mainly three ways to keep healthy.

First, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. We should have plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday.

Secondly, it is important to do regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on.

Last but not least, it is essential to keep in good spirits. Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress.

When we make healthy habits a part of our everyday life, we are bound to keep healthy.
