We shouldn’t eat too many snacks which are full of additives（添加物），sugar, salt, oil and other unhealthy stuff. Second, we should drink plenty of milk and water. Third, we should have meals regularly and had better not be particular about food. Each food has its nutritious value. Many adults skip breakfast which is the most important meal in a day. Thanks to my mom, my breakfast is always great. I eat a lot of vegetables now though I used to hate them. I eat fruit and drink milk every day. I drink enough water as well. Of course, I love junk food like most children do, but I don’t eat it often.6…How to lose weightIf you want to lose weight, you should firstly pay a ttention to your diet.

I hope soon you’ll have perfect weight.7…Health and wealthHealth is far more important than wealth. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our life.

That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.8…No Smoking in public places (该阅读可以和规章制度这个话题相结合)Smoking is not allowed in public places any more. As we know, smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to the environment. Smoking can lead to many diseases, such as lung cancer. Smoking affects non-smokers more than it does smokers. In public places, the harm of smoking is greater. Therefore our government bans smoking. It’s a measure to protect our health and the environment.Some people say that it takes away some of our freedom. I think it is a one-sided view. If one wants to smoke, he may smoke in private, not in the public places. In fact, smokers still have the freedom of smoking. But, I think, smokers had better give up smoking. It’ll be beneficial to all of us.。
