good health is the most valuable possession (财富) a person can have, but one can't take health for granted. there are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat the right foods, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. your body cannot function well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”. avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat. eat plenty of foods that are high in protein (蛋白质), like lean meat, fish, beans, and nuts. vegetables and fruits are especially important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. however, don't overeat. it is not healthy to be overweight.
getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. if you don't get enough sleep, you will feel tired and have no energy. over a long period of time, a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. be sure to allow yourself seven to nine hours of sleep each night. if you do, your body will feel strong, and your mind will be sharp.
