There goes a saying "Every human being is the author of his own health or disease." To be healthy or not depends on you and if you choose to stay healthy, there are many ways to do so: exercising daily, eating well and not smoking or drinking alcohol.

Firstly, daily exercise is important for good health. There are many different forms of exercise one can do. For example, you can go to gym to lift weights or swim. You can run or jog in your neighborhood. You can take a long walk or ride a bicycle. You do not have to do a lot of exercises. If you are consistent and if you exercise even a little bit every day, you will keep good health.

Next, eating a good diet is necessary to stay healthy. A good diet should consist of bread

and grains, dairy products, fruit, vegetables and protein. For instance, a good dinner might consist

of pasta with tomato sauce, bread and butter, a fresh salad a pear and a glass of milk. If you eat well

at every meal and be sure to include food from the major food groups, you will stay healthy.

Finally, don't smoke or drink! Smoking is very bad for your health. Studies show that smoking causes cancer. Not only that, smoking can give you bad breath and can ruin your teeth. In addition, drinking alcohol is also bad for your health. Alcohol has only empty calories. It does not benefit your body at all.

To conclude, there are many ways to stay healthy. Three good ways are to exercise every day, eat well and not to smoke or drink alcohol. It is important to maintain your health for a long time.
