5.1 Read the text and list seven bad habits. Name good health habits. What is a healthy diet?
We have different bad habits. Few of us will die of pride, envy or anger. There are, however, modern health habits which are in fact far more dangerous.
Two of them, obesity and physical inactivity, are known from ancient times. They are joined by the modern bad habits: smoking and drinking too much alcohol, and the surprising ‘danger’ of sleeping too much or too little, eating between meals and skipping breakfast. In combination, these poor health habits could double the chance of dying or lead to different diseases for those who survive.
Of course, sleeping too much or too little, snacking and skipping breakfast are not quite as deadly as smoking, obesity and drinking. But they are indicative of dangerously chaotic lifestyles.
Regularity in life promotes your health. Sleeping seven or eight hours, getting up early, eating breakfast, a healthy diet and regular meals is really a good way to live.
5.2 Go about the classroom and ask your groupmates about their health habits using the prompts. Decide which of you cares about their health.

| a) sleep too much b) sleep too little c) eat between meals d) skip breakfast | e) smoke or drink alcohol f) do any sport g) have a balanced, healthy diet h) attend any club |
