"HEALTH IS WEALTH"
No one can deny the fact that healthy man live happily. Money or wealth
cannot give a person all the happiness of life as health can. A person may
have wealth, cars, servants at his service and a big house to life in cannot
enjoy all these blessings without a good health. Where as a person with small
income, with no servant for work and small house to live in but a healthy body enjoy a fuller
life in the world.
For good health and for looking younger and living longer one must follow few good
principles of life. To remain healthy we should eat balance diet. Take little exercise every
day. Let not worries crowd our mind and shake our nervous system. We should not allow ill
thoughts bring agony to our mind. We should live in clear and neat surrounding. We must
become early risers and never go to bed very late.
Good health is a precious thing and every step must be taken to guard it. Early to bed early to
rise makes all men healthy, wealthy and wise

We need to own this issue because the stakes are high.
What does it matter if we try to increase our scores in math and reading,
If scores are dying before their time because they got fatter and fatter.
Healthy students make wealthy earners not to mention better learners.
The choices you make every day have the biggest impact in the biggest of ways.

AIDS.- THE EPIDEMIC OF FEAR
(PASSIVE VOICE.- REINFORCMENT)
AIDS was first diagnosed in 1981; Since it was a new disease little was known about it and many
people were dying of it. As a result, lots of myths and misconceptions were created and spread quickly,
which caused another epidemic besides AIDS, and that was the Epidemic of FEAR.
The Mass Media also helped spread wrong ideas about AIDS. This is what they told me then: (Rewrite what
you were told then).-
AIDS
AIDS spreads through the air.
AIDS is a gays disease.
You may get AIDS next to someone at work, at
school on a bus or elsewhere if that person is
infected
You may get infected touching or shaking
hands.
One may get AIDS by sharing food, plates,
cups or utensils.
If you receive a blood transfusion
you risk being infected.
AIDS symptoms are easily perceived.
If a mosquito bites you, it could infect you with
AIDS.
All kind of drugs taking was a serious risk of
getting AIDS.
There were babies who got the HIV, passed to
them by their mother through breast-feeding.
Having the HIV always implies developing
AIDS.
A simple blood test right after the sexual
intercourse or intravenous drug use can detect the
HIV.

THE LAST SONG, BY ELTON JOHN
CHORUS
`Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son

MEN AND SMOKING. FICTIONS AND FACTS.
MOST GUYS SMOKE
No, they dont! The majority of UK men alive today have never smoked. Many others are ex-smokers.
Fifty years ago 3 out of 4 men smoked. Today just over 1 in every 4 men smokes.
WHATS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT? MY GRANDFATHER SMOKED 30 A DAY UNTIL HE WAS
84
He was lucky! Smoking kills one in two of its users and half of these will die before their time, many in
middle age and younger. Every year, over 80,000 UK men die from diseases caused by smoking.
IM A YOUNG HEALTHY BLOKE AND I ONLY SMOKE ABOUT 15 A DAY. WHERES THE
HARM?
15 cigarettes a day are too many! Every puff of tobacco smoke gives you a very nasty cocktail of over 4000
chemicals including tar (as in roads), nicotine, carbon monoxide (as in exhaust fumes), ammonia (floor
cleaner), arsenic (rat poison), formaldehyde (preserving fluid) and butane (lighter fuel). 60 of these
chemicals are known to cause cancer. Cancer of the lungs, throat, mouth, pancreas, kidneys and bladder are
all caused by smoking and there is an increased risk of other cancers too including cancer of the penis!
Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. It increases your heart rate, constricts the blood vessels and puts
up your blood pressure.
Tar coats your lungs like it does the roads and it damages the hairs that clean the lungs and it inflames the
small air sacs. The mucus builds up and results in the smokers cough. Eventually it causes bronchitis and
emphysema.
Carbon monoxide robs your brain, heart and muscles of oxygen. Carbon monoxide combines with
nicotine to thicken the blood. This can cause heart attacks and strokes, blood clots in the limbs and
amputation. Three out of four deaths from heart attacks in younger men are due to smoking.
IM FIFTY TWO AND IVE SMOKED SINCE I WAS TWELVE . THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
Its never too late to stop smoking! The benefits of stopping smoking are almost immediate at any age.
Within just 20 minutes after stopping smoking your blood pressure and heart rate return to a level close to
normal. Within 8 hours the level of carbon monoxide in your blood is halved and after 24 hours the oxygen
levels return to normal.

AFTER 2 WEEKS your chance of a heart attack decreases and your circulation improves. Your energy
levels and concentration improve. Your breathing improves.
BY 3 MONTHS your taste and smell will improve and the smoker's cough will go. At one year the risk of
a heart attack is cut to half. And the longer you stay off cigarettes , the lower the risk of lung cancer, heart
disease and lung damage. .
However, .
Irreversible Health Effects of Smoking: smoking and health problems can be long-lasting. It has been
shown that smoking for as little as 5 years can lead to some irreversible health effects.
Some permanent health effects can be to the lungs, heart, eyes, throat, urinary tract, digestive organs, bones,
joints, and skin.
This is not to discourage people from quitting smoking. It has also been shown that over time many health
effects are reversed or improved greatly by stopping smoking

LA SALUD
INTRODUCTION
Podramos definir la salud como el estado en que una persona no padece ninguna enfermedad seria o
malestar constante.
BODY
En el curso de nuestra vida la gente pasa por diversas enfermedades, especialmente en la infancia, tales
como: sarampin, varicela, paperas, anginas, etc. Gracias a las vacunas estas enfermedades no son tan
nocivas para los seres humanos.
Por otra parte, muchas personas adquieren enfermedades que producen una calidad de vida muy negativa o
incluso la muerte: cnceres, problemas de sangre, rganos vitales daados, huesos, etc.
Actualmente la medicina y la ciencia han desarrollado muchos medicamentos y tratamientos que ayudan a
las personas enfermas a tener una vida ms saludable y menos dolorosa.
Aunque todo el mundo est de acuerdo en que es imposible ser feliz sin tener salud, hay muchas personas
que adoptan hbitos poco saludables, a sabiendas que estn perjudicando su cuerpo: fumar, beber alcohol,
tomar drogas, etc, son malos hbitos contra los que mdicos y expertos en salud nos advierten.
CONCLUSION

no nos damos cuenta qu afortunados somos hasta que ya no podemos disfrutar de una vida sana.
