DO NOT SMOKE! A long time ago, you could find cigarettes in most of the places. They were even sold in hospitals!!!!!!! Although, people still smoke today, it is now forbidden in many places. The cigarette companies are not allowed to use TV adds and many magazines to announce their cigarettes. Plus, it is obligatory to announce in the cigarette box all the bad consequences that tobacco has. Smoking is not healthy for the people around you. They breathe the smoke that your cigarette is letting out. Should innocent people get sick because of you just lighting up a cigarette? Think about it. Smoking is not at all helpful with your Respiratory system! Each time you breath in clean air with a cigarette in your mouth it gets ruined! The bad smoke gets into your body and sends tar to your poor lungs! Each time, your lungs get tighter and tighter and it gets harder to breath. If you have asthma problems, and you smoke, it will get worse. The healthy cells in your body, slowly go away being replaced by cancer cells. Smoking can also damage all systems. Another one of them is the skeletal. When you smoke, your bones start to get weaker and weaker. When it comes to broken bones, they heal in longer time. Tobacco sends bad chemicals directly to your bones. You will not be able to move that easily. If you race a non-smoker, they will probably win. Their bones are healthier, besides, their physical condition too because of how they are able to oxygen their bodies. Smoking can hurt numerous things. Other than all the systems in some way. Your breath starts to stink. You get paler and tons of other things. A lot of heart attacks are because of smoking. In the USA 1 out of 5 deaths are due to smoking. If you still don't smoke, then you are lucky, don't even think of starting. The question is.... Why do people all over the world still do it???

EXERCISE A LOT! Doing exercise can help all the systems. But, most importantly, it makes you feel good. Your muscular system can get a lot healthier if you follow this tip. Have you ever done push-ups or carried weights??? Those are the type of exercise that help you strength your body. Specially the muscles. When you do something like that, your muscles start to work even harder than before! Have you ever experienced a sore leg after you run quite a bit? Well, if you have, then it was probably a muscle! As I was saying, each time they are getting stronger and stronger! The muscle starts to get used to the exercise and each time capable of doing heavier things. For some adults and teens, the muscles might get bigger. There is also another type of exercising though, it is called aerobic. Aerobic exercise requires you to use oxygen. Such as running, swimming, biking, etc. This type of exercise helps you a ton, when thinking about the respiratory system. When you do such thing, lets say running, you start to breath more air and faster. Your lungs and body start to need even more oxygen than before. You start breathing deeper! This makes them stronger. The same thing happens with the circulatory system. Hour heart delivers the oxygen through your veins to different parts of your body. When you do aerobic exercise, your body needs more oxygen and so the heart starts to pump harder. Just, like the lungs, it gets stronger! Exercise is a great way to keep your body healthy!

EAT HEATHY! Eating healthy is an important part of many systems. One system, that having a balanced diet, helps is the digestive. Have you ever seen the food pyramid? As you may have seen, it has 6 different colors, each with a different thickness. The thicker it is, the more you should try to eat of that type of food. You should try to eat a little of each every day. First comes grains, then vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats and proteins and finally are the fats and oils, which are the only ones that you should try to avoid. When you eat good foods that have vitamins, then they are easier to digest for your body. While in the other hand, if you eat junk food, then your digestive system is going to have a hard time to digest. Your body will only digest what is necessary for your body. The extra stuff, will soon turn into fat. Eating healthy, may also help the circulatory system. You may have heard, that food turns into oxygen for your body. But, only good food. Oxygen usually flows through your blood vessels. So what happens to them if you eat bad food? Well, the extra fat that you have, bit by bit, starts to block the blood vessels, which are like little tubes. Since blood flows trough them, your heart starts to pump harder. Many heart attacks are because of that. People should eat healthy every day. If you follow this tip, then you will even feel proud of yourself.



SLEEP WELL! Every living creature, needs to get some sleep. Even animals need to rest. Sleep is used as a time for your brain and body to have a rest at the end of the day. Kids need about 8-12 hours of daily sleep. It really depends on each kid. Have you ever heard your mom say... "Hey you need to get some sleep, you don't want to get sick for tomorrow." That is because not sleeping well, can damage your immune system. This system in particular, helps you to prevent you from getting sick. So if you don't sleep well, then that system will get weaker, the germs will get easier into your body and you will get sick. Another system that sleeping enough time is helpful for, is the nervous system. When you don't sleep enough, you might feel cranky, angry, and find it difficult to think. That is because some scientists say that sleeping is a time where our brain sorts all your thoughts out. Others believe in different things. Besides whatever that reason is, while you sleep, you brain can rest for a while. Sleeping is a very important and helpful way to keep your body healthy and fit. Next time your mom asks you to go to sleep... do it! BREAKFAST EVERY DAY! Did you know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day? It mostly helps you when you talk about the digestive system. This is a bit related to the eating healthy tip. When you eat your first meal, you should try to eat at least some protein. Tt can help you to get energy for the rest of the day. What happens if I don't get enough breakfast? Well, your body always needs some food to keep for energy. If you only have a little, then your body automatically keeps that little food for energy because it detects that it will not be getting the right amount of food. So now, you get the anxiety to eat more each time because the little breakfast was not digested properly. For many overweight people, this is their case. And then all this goes back to the eating healthy tip! So now you know how important it is to have breakfast. . DRINK LOTS OF WATER DAILY! Why is water so important? Well, more than 50% of your body weight is made of water. Your body has lots of important jobs and and most of them are water related. For example, the veins and circulatory system carry oxygen through your body. If you don't get water, then you don't get oxygen. Human beings need oxygen to survive! This is only one of the many things that can happen to your poor body if it doesn't get enough liquids. Of course if you get thirsty and don't want water, then there is a vairety of choices! But, water is even better. your thirstiness goes away, it has no calories, no sugars, and it cleans the fat and things you don't need in your body! Talking about clearing the extra stuff of your body... it totally connects to the digestive system! Mainly because there is water needed to digest. So that is how you go to the bathroom. But, it also helps you get rid of your extra fat and calories that your body couldn't digest. Water is also in lymph, a liquid that is supposed to be part of your immune system which keeps you away from getting sick. Drinking this wonderful thing, is also the main part of sweat. Water will also help many other things. It is recommended that you drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Drinking water is a super important part of your healthy living!
