Dear Jimmy,
How are you? I hope that you are fine there. My family and I are fine

I write this letter to tell you how to stay healthy and keep fit. I got the
information from a magazine.
Firstly, you eat healthy food. The examples of healthy food are fruits,
vegetables, rice and bread. Remember, fast food like burgers and instant
noodles are also not healthy. Please do not eat fast food because it contains too
much fat.
Secondly, you should avoid junk food because junk food contains too much
salt and sugar. The examples of junk food are sweets and crackers like super
ring, twiesties and potato chips.
Thirdly, you should eat balanced diet. The food that we eat must contain
carbohydrate, proteins, vitamins, mineral and fat. If you want more
information about a balanced diet, you can refer to a food pyramid.
Next, you should exercise regularly. You should exercise three times a week.
You should take at least twenty minutes every time you exercise.
Other than that, you should have enough sleep. You should sleep at least
seven hours every night.
Finally, you should drink enough water. You should drink at least eight
glasses of plain water every day.
