UNIT 2. HEALTHY LIVING READING I. Read the passage and choose the best answer to the questions. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle involves avoiding certain habits. Unfortunately, many people today spend excessive amounts of time on their mobile phones, computer screens, or watching TV. This habit is detrimental to our health and can cause eye strain and back pain from prolonged sitting.

Assessing one's health is important to maintain a healthy body. Consider whether you have a healthy diet, exercise regularly, drink at least eight glasses of water daily, get enough sleep, and lead a healthy lifestyle. Taking care of your body is essential because life is beautiful, and we do not want to burden ourselves with unhealthy problems. Even if your body is functioning well today, it may not be the case tomorrow. In addition to healthy eating and exercise, maintaining a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle are crucial aspects of good health. Stress is a major problem that affects many people, not just at work or during studies, but also due to bad habits such as excessive gaming and TV watching.
