Many people drive long ways to work. They sit for a long time. They also eat too much bad food from factories. This causes heart problems and diabetes. Doctors say we should eat fresh vegetables and natural food.

許多人通勤距離很遠，長時間坐著。他們也攝取過多工廠生產的劣質食物，導致心臟問題和糖尿病。醫生建議我們應該食用新鮮蔬菜和天然食物。

People do not see the sun and do not sleep well. This is bad for the heart. You should go outside for two hours every week. You should also eat with other people. This helps your mind and your body.

人們缺乏陽光照射且睡眠不足，這對心臟不利。您每週應該到戶外活動兩小時，並且與他人一同用餐，這對您的心靈與身體都有幫助。

In winter, people stop moving. This makes them more sick. You must exercise every day. You can do short exercises for a few minutes. You can also go to a gym when it is cold outside.

冬天時，人們會減少活動，這使他們更容易生病。您必須每天運動，即使是進行幾分鐘的簡短運動也可以。天氣寒冷時，您可以前往健身房。
