Imagine(想象) that your body is like a factory. It takes in “materials(材料)” and puts out “goods”. If you start with poor materials, your goods won’t be probably very high-quality(高质的). But if you use better materials, your goods will come out much better.

What does this mean in real life? It means getting the right amount(量)of sleep, eating food that is good for you, and exercising. You might not think about this much as a student, but believe me—as you get older, it becomes very important.

It’s good to start building a better factory at a young age. Getting into the habit of living healthily can help you in many ways. If you get enough sleep (not too little, not too much), you’ll be able to focus(集中注意力)better on your studies. Eating healthy food helps your body grow strong and fight off sickness. And exercise can help you stay fit both in body and in mind.

This sounds like a lot to do. So start small—try to go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time as well. Find time to eat a single apple each day—they say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Try to exercise just a little bit each day, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. Doing these little things will help you build a great “factory”.

Today, people want to do sports and exercise to keep healthy. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

The best meal before games should have carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich (富含……的) in it, but chicken and meat are not.

No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be good for you. If an afternoon or an evening is better for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthy, then you can exercise at that time. So choose any time to exercise!

You must have some water when you exercise. And after exercising, you also need to have some water. If you don’t drink any water, then you may feel tired.
