Dịch bài đọc:
Đúng là việc duy trì sức khỏe sẽ có lợi cho sức khỏe của một người theo nhiều cách khác nhau Trong nhữngnăm gần đây, điều rõ ràng hơn là một số lượng lớn người càng ngày càng ít tập thể dục và điều này hiệnđang gây ra nhiều căn bệnh nghiêm trọng, từ đó gây nhiều áp lực cho các bác sĩ và bệnh viện Tuy nhiên,một số chuyên gia tin rằng tập thể dục quá nhiều có thể gây ra thiệt hại nhiều như lợi ích của nó vậy
Mặc dù sự thật là tập thể dục vừa phải như đi bộ có thể rất có lợi cho sức khỏe của một người, nhưng đókhông phải là yếu tố duy nhất giúp chúng ta khỏe mạnh Chế độ ăn uống cũng cực kỳ quan trọng và tôi sẽtranh luận rằng nó có lẽ còn quan trọng hơn cả tập thể dục, mặc dù lý tưởng là để cả hai yếu tố này hoạtđộng cùng nhau Dường như với tôi rằng nhiều người không sẵn lòng nỗ lực để trở thành người giỏi hơn
Trang 11Tuy nhiên, tập thể dục quá nhiều cũng có thể gây ra vấn đề Vì vậy, mọi người được khuyến khích tập thểdục vừa phải và ăn uống cân đối, lành mạnh thay vì bắt tay vào chế độ ăn kiêng và tập luyện khắc nghiệt.Trong rất nhiều trường hợp, những người cực kỳ khỏe mạnh đã bị đau tim hoặc chết đột ngột.
Nói chung, các chính phủ cần tìm cách thúc đẩy mọi người chịu trách nhiệm về sức khỏe của chính họ Mọingười cần nhận ra rằng ăn thực phẩm lành mạnh không hề đắt đỏ, và cũng không khó để tự chuẩn bị bữa ănlành mạnh Mọi người cần được giáo dục tốt hơn về sức khỏe của họ
