Explanation
A healthy lifestyle is a set of everyday habits that protect our health. First is personal hygiene: we wash our hands with soap before eating, after coming in from outside, after the toilet and after playing with animals; we brush our teeth morning and evening; we wear clean clothes. Second is proper nutrition: we eat varied meals, fruit and vegetables, slowly. Some people are allergic to certain foods, and they follow a doctor’s advice. Third is movement: sport, dance, active games and morning exercise make the body strong and improve mood. We also pay attention to keeping our back straight.
Worked examples
“After school”. After school Mohira washed her hands with soap, then had lunch with an apple and yogurt. At four o’clock she skipped rope with her friends in the yard. In the evening she sat with a straight back to do homework. Her mother said: “Today you followed all the rules.”
Class activity
“Healthy habit”: children take turns acting out one healthy habit (washing, jumping, eating fruit) and the others guess it.
