We all know that health is very important to everyone. We have the World Health Day (世界卫生日) on April 7th. But do you know how to keep healthy? Here are some ways.

First, you should eat healthy food. Usually, there isn’t much nutrition (营养) in white food, such as bread and sugar. But food in bright colors like red, yellow and purple is good for us, such as the tomatoes, carrots and strawberries. We need to eat food in different colors every day.

Second, playing sports is good for our health. Because it is relaxing. We can take walks after dinner. We can play ping-pong or soccer. We need to do sports every day.

Third, being happy can make us healthy, too. When we are not happy, we can try to talk to our friends.

Remember to smile often and be happy.

Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend for it. Here are some free or cheap ways for you to enjoy yourselves.

Try a hobby

While you’re out, take pictures of things you find. Taking pictures can make you find the beauty around you. And you’ll get interesting photos. If you don’t have a camera or a mobile phone that can take pictures, you can try drawing. Drawing only needs a pencil and paper.

Get outside

Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend. Hike or ride a bicycle in a park. If you live in a city, you can also go window shopping.

Find an event(事件)

Libraries often give free public events, stop by one to find out what’s going on. And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities also give free events.

Meet a friend

Relationships (关系) are the best things in life. Whatever you do, find someone to share it with. Ask a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don’t have to cook the meal. You can sit and talk, play computer games or card games or watch a movie.

Being fit (强健的) means a person cats well, gets a lot of exercise, and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well and feels good. Here are five rules to live by, if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.

You may have a favorite food, but it is best to cat different kinds of food. If you do this, you’re more likely to get what your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, may taste better, the older you get. Try two fruits and three vegetables a day.

When you’re really thirsty, water is what you need. It’s also OK to drink some fruit juice once in a while. But not too much. And there’s a reason why you need to drink some milk. Kids need milk to build strong bones (骨骼). If you’re nine or older, drink three cups of milk every day.

What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach (胃) feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.

What’s screen time? It’s the time you spend watching TV or playing games, and using a smart phone or computer. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on screen time.

Find ways to be active every day. You might even write down a list of fun things to do, so you can use it when your mum or dad says it’s time to stop watching TV or playing computer games!

Tell your parents about the five rules. If you’re a fit kid, why shouldn’t you have a fit mum and a fit dad?
