7. Health and healthy way of life

The best way to stay fit and healthy is to have a healthy lifestyle – we should practise some sport, sleep enough and eat healthy foods with lots of vitamins – we should avoid smoke and drink less alcohol. It is also important to visits out doctors regularly. I visit my dentist twice a year, or more if I have a problem. People are vaccinated compulsory against various illnesses such as tuberculosis, tetanus. When people don’t feel very well they usually take painkillers, go to the doctor, take some vitamins, they eat more fruits, they squeeze lemon, prepare hot tea and stay in bed. Personally I prefer natural remedies like herbal tea. Health care in CR is provided for free, but there are some fees like for emergency. There are enough hospitals and our health care system is on high level. Nowadays I think I am not so ill like before when I was child. I have head ache sometimes, cold, sore throat. I consider modern lifestyle heathy bc there are lots of people who do sports a lot and they try to keep themselves fit and heathy. On the other hand a lot of people are in the rush, they are busy all the time, they work hard and also there are many fast food restaurants and people don’t have enough time to cook food by yourself, so they attended these restaurants a lot.

Health is the most important thing in our lives – everyone knows it, but when we are healthy, we usually don´t appreciate it – we realize it when we or some of our close relatives is ill. We have illnesses minor and serious. Minor illnesses are flu, sore throat, stomach ache, headache, backache and serious illnesses are cancer, pneumonia, heart disease, dry skin, stroke – cancer is incurable.

The best way to stay fit and healthy is to have a healthy lifestyle – we should practise some sport, enough sleep and healthy foods with lots of vitamins – we shouldn’t smoke or drink much alcohol.

Prevention is very important and plays a big role in our health – everybody should go to a regular check-up every year.

It is also important to visits a dentist regularly, at least twice a year – school children are invited by the school dentist – but adults have to plan their visit individually.

Small children are regularly vaccinated against various illnesses such as tuberculosis or other childhood diseases which can be very dangerous when they grow up.

Next is addiction. People can be addicted to some things, for example chocolate, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, candies and I don´t think that addictions on something is good for people. It is unhealthy too. People who are addicted to a chocolate can be fat and this is not good for a body. The we have people who are allergic. Allergic can be to pollen (pyl), dust (prach), hair of animals and this is really dangerous sometimes. People have runny nose or they can choke. When we are unhealthy we must go to the doctor for check-up. Doctors give us some prescription to tablets or pills and we must go to pharmacy with prescription and this tablets buy. The we go home and we must stay in a bed with hot tea with ginger and honey and relax. Some people are disabled ant his mean that they cannot use their body completely. We can suffer from various illnesses beginning with common childhood diseases such as: measles (spalničky), chicken-pox (plané neštovice) or mumps (příušnice). But we can have much more serious diseases like a cancer or AIDS. Many people died of cancer and AIDS every year.
