Exercise 2. Read and translate the text:

P eople nowadays are more health-conscious than they used to be. They understand that good health is above wealth.To be healthy we should avoid different bad habits that can affect our health. In my opinion, smoking and drinking too much alcohol, are the worst ones.

Smoking and drinking are joined by less dangerous habits, such as eating unhealthy food, or even overeating. Of course, they are not quite as deadly as smoking or drinking alcohol, but they also affect our health.

To my mind, the only way to stay healthy and to keep fit is by going in for sports. Among the benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, stronger bones, quicker reaction times and more resistance to various illnesses..

To be healthy, it is also very important to spend a lot of time in the open air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed, or to air the room.I think it is very important to be fit and healthy, and it is necessary to take care of your health.Personally I believe that regularity in life promotes our health. Sleeping eight or nine hours, getting up early, regular meals, a healthy diet and going in for sports is really a good way to have a perfect health. And if your health is good, you are always in a good mood. You have “A sound mind in a sound body”, as the old Latin saying goes.
