Healthy Living

    Good morning , my teachers and school friends. I would like to express my gratitude for being given the opportunity to speak to you today. The topic that I would like to draw your attention to is all bout the ways to live a healthy life.

    Asstudents, we face many challenges and have to cope with such things as lessons, exams, extra-curricular activities and social events. Many of us tend to forget about our health in our aim to accomplish as much as possible within a short span of time.

    In order to stay healthy, we must eat well. Our bodies need sufficient nutrition to sustain our activities. Eating the wrong food  is the main cause for the ill health. We need to have a balanced diet. We should resist the urge to indulge in fast food and carbonated drinks.

     We should stay away from cigarettes and alcohol. Many youngsters experiment with these substances only to find taht they have become addicted to them. In order to avoid succumbing to peer presure, we should not hang out with those who indulge in drinking alcohol and smoking.

    We must also partake in some form of exercise, such as sports, aerobics or just plain walking or jogging. We must make it a point to execise for half an hour at least three times a week. Exercise is also a good way to relieve stress.

    Lastly, we must avoid unhealthy lifestyles such as late night partying. We must ensure that we get proper rest and sufficient sleep so that we can wake up energised the next day.

    In short, we are responsible for own well-being. I hope that my speech has enlightened you on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. Thank you.
