Today in China, we are beginning to see more and more health problems because of poor diet and little exercise. It's high time that something should be done about this. Parents must remember that their children need to eat plenty of healthy foods. This does not include most snacks, as they are high in salt and/or sugar. This is also true of such unhealthy food that comes from fast food. People that need to watch their health should go on a green diet. This means that there is much more vegetables than meat or sugar products. They should mind these eating do's and don'ts in order not gain weight. It is much easier to not to gain weight than it is in trying to get rid of it. Sleeping and rest are also essential to having a healthy lifestyle. This allows your body to readjust and gain energy for the next day. In addition to food and rest, a regimen of proper sports must be injected in order to strengthen the body and lose weight. Exercises which are more intense 1 such as aerobics 2 should be done if this is the goal. If you want to gain muscle, then resistant 3 exercises as with weights should be done. The proper thing that you should remember when going on a diet is that a diet is not a temporary change in what you eat and whether you exercise. A diet, to be affective, must be a life change. This requires the proper mind-set of wanting to stay healthy and pushing yourself in order to achieve this goal.

在当今的中国，我们可以看到由于不均衡的饮食和缺乏运动所引发的越来越多的健康问题。我们需要采取行动来解决这一问题。父母应该谨记他们的孩子需要吃足够的健康食品。所谓的健康食品并不包括大部分的零食，因为它们的含盐或含糖量太高。快餐中的不健康食品也是如此。需要关注健康的人们应该坚持吃“绿色饮食”。这意味着要多吃蔬菜，少吃肉类和高糖食品。他们应当注意吃什么不吃什么的问题，这样才不会增肥。不增肥比减肥要容易得多。睡眠和休息对于健康的生活方式也是十分必要的。这使你的身体得以调整，并为第二天的工作储备能量。除了饮食和休息外，为了增强体质和减肥，人们还需要进行适当的体育锻炼。如果确定了目标，人们应该进行更为激烈的运动，比如做有氧运动。如果你想获得肌肉，那么进行负重的对抗训练是必需的。当你减肥的时候，你要知道减肥不只是短时间内在吃什么或者做什么样的运动上做一些改变就可以了。有效的减肥需要做终身的改变。这需要有渴望保持健康的信念，也需要为了达成这样的目标而进行自我督促。
