A lot of thing can keep us healthy: Sleep, Exercise, Fresh Air, Friends, Healthy Food. Eating healthy food means not eating too much and not eating the same thing always. Our food is composed of three components: fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Carbohydrates like sugar and starch, are present in potatoes. We also need vitamins and minerals, such as salt or calcium, to stay healthy. We need to brush our teeth often and keep ourselves clean to keep away the bacteria and remain healthy.
Why are vitamins necessary in diet?
Vitamins assist the body in utilizing the nutrients. They are not suppliers of energy like fats or carbohydrates, but help the body in absorbing minerals such as calcium, magnesium, or sodium contained in salt and transporting them to required places. Vitamins also help in the correct functioning of enzymes that help convert food into components useful for the body. Since the body cannot synthesize vitamins, they need to be supplied from outside.
What happens when we eat too much?
If we eat more than what we really need, our body converts the excess food into fat and we become bulky and heavy. The skeleton and joints are not designed to carry too much continuous load; hence, at some point of time the back and joints begin to ache. Any kind of fast movement becomes tiring and strenuous for the heart and the circulatory system. We got out of breathe very easily.
Fat people are often the butt of people's jokes. Although they can get in shape again through training and eating healthy.
Why must we brush our teeth every day?
When we eat, small particles of food get stuck between the teeth, giving rise to bacteria. They reproduce and create dental problems. At first, these are only holes in the enamel of the teeth, but as they become deeper they can be very painful. Chewing becomes difficult with bad teeth, and the jaw look deformed if some teeth are missing. If the bacteria are not removed, they can enter your body through the mouth.
The writings of a Greek doctor Hippocrates are a proof that the connection between hygiene and disease was known 3000 years ago.
How can we protect ourselves against bacteria?
We do not need to protect ourselves against all bacteria. Some live inside our body and are even very important to us, such as the intestinal bacteria. We fall sick only if there are too many bacteria or some harmful bacteria unknown to the body comes from outside. These can happen easily via cuts and bruises on the skin or when our bodies are week.
Antibiotics (but now a days many bacteria have already become 'resistant ' to them) help against bacterial infections. The best way to remain healthy is to strengthen our own immune system. A diet rich in vitamins, i.e., fruits and vegetables and exercise in fresh air helps in keeping us fit.
Is playing sports healthy?
#OF COURSE# Why the heck I am saying this??? Is it necessary to write on this??
You know the answer very well. Now a days children's are busy on mobile, laptops, TV etc,. But it is very necessary to play. Playing a sport is healthy because it trains the muscle, improves blood circulation, and increase the supply of oxygen to the body cells. Improved oxygen supply to the brain improves concentration and physical movements excites the nerve paths in the brain.
We therefore become mentally more efficient. Sometimes played sports may cause excessive strain on the body, but leisure sport (Ludo, Chess, Carrom) that are fun can strengthen our immune system and are necessary for our well being.
