How to stay healthy
|
Kim: I missed the health show last night. What was it about? Max: It was about the four principles of staying healthy. They were introduced by the guest speaker, Dr Quan, a Vietnamese traditional medicine doctor. Kim: Sounds interesting. What are these principles? Max: Well, the first one is relieving stress. Stress may weaken your immune system. Dr Quan said if you practised meditation every day, you could keep your mind stress-free. Kim: Do you agree with him? Max: He might be right … I'm not sure. Kim: OK. What's the next one? Max: We should consume healthy food such as brown rice, fresh fruit and vegetables. We should also eat more fish and less red meat.

Kim: I agree with him. Yesterday I read an article on the Internet, which claimed you could increase your life expectancy if you ate brown rice, fruit and vegetables. But why less red meat? I don't understand … Max: He said red meat is high in fat, which increases the risk of developing heart disease. Kim: I see. What's the third principle? Max: Dr Quan advised viewers to exercise regularly Kim: You mean … do a workout every morning? Max: Working out every day is great, but there are other ways to exercise and stay healthy. He suggested playing sports when you're young, or practising yoga and t'ai chi when you reach middle age. Kim: OK, his first three principles make sense to me. How about the last one? Max: When you're feeling unwell, try natural remedies first. Take prescription medicine only when other methods fail. Kim: Oh, really? Natural remedies? What are they? Max: Um, things like a massage, acupuncture or even a hot shower. Kim: A hot shower! Are you joking? Max: Well, you can watch the show tomorrow if you want. It'll be repeated at 8 in the morning. Kim: OK, I will. |
