A Letter To The Editor


Dear Sir or Madam,

         I am a faithful reader of your magazine which I find really very interesting because it deals with social and health problems. Today I decide to participate with this article on the importance of health in a sane individual's social life. Although they are aware of the importance of being healthy, many people do the opposite through smoking, imbibing and eating too much junk food. They simply underestimate the fatal impact these futile habits have on their lives on the long term. Health is so precious that people have to preserve by giving up those bad habits. Moreover they have to eat and sleep well as well as taking care of their clothes.

         First of all, people shouldn't eat too much. The great amount of food never does anybody good. It is rather the good quality which is necessary for them to keep fit. Greed generally causes obesity; as well as it causes stomach-ache and many other digestible troubles. Therefore, a balanced serving is enough to protect vulnerable people from diseases. That's why a sane diet, made of vegetables and fruits, is more nutritive. They shouldn't forget that we eat to live not the opposite.

         Additionally, to sleep well is also a major factor in keeping fit. If people usually sleep and wake up at the same time everyday, they'll be safe from insomnia and other sleep troubles. Most adults need seven to eight hours sleep every 24 hours. Thus sleep is sometimes more profitable than sport and food for getting energy. A good night sleep means a lively and active day.

         Last but not least, clothes should be dealt with seriously for a good health. They should be clean, soft and warm enough to protect one from cold as well as from the heat of the sun beams. So clothes have to be regarded as an essential element in the individual's health, besides being a social need.

         Finally, I'd like to advise the readers to take care of themselves by taking care of what they eat, by sleeping well and by dressing well because their health is a gain not only for them but also for their community.

Yours faithfully
A high School Student
