01. The heading of each paragraph has been removed. Match each heading with the correct
paragraph (A – D)
If you’ve been listening to the news you already know about our national obesity levels rising by the
day. It has never been more important to watch what you are eating and to get an adequate amount
of exercise and sleep to keep yourself fit and healthy. Though it may feel like really hard work at
first, once you adopt an exercise, routine and start to adapt to a new situation you’ll forget you ever
did things differently.
( ) Sleep is huge and almost a third of the US population doesn’t get near enough to staying
physically and mentally healthy. If you are sleep deprived, try changing your habits in order to get a
full eight hours every night
( ) Look at your diet and what you’re eating now and make changes. If you are susceptible to
snacking, keep a piece of fruit or a few nuts at hand. The key is to eat small meals throughout the day.
Reduce portion sizes, take out white bread and replace with whole grains and make sure each meal
contains at least one portion of fruit and – or vegetables. Healthy food doesn’t have to be expensive
in the least bit and you can get an abundance of low priced fruit and veggies, like apples, bananas,
potatoes and peas.
( ) Take a look at your current lifestyle and make a small list of everything you do that is not good
for your health. This could be anything, from eating too much junk food or drinking too much caffeine.
Start the process of breaking these habits one by one. Some will be easy, while others may take
months or maybe years to get rid of and eradicate completely from your life but the sooner you start
fighting, the better.
( ) We all should be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise, 3 to 4 or more times a week, to maintain
good health and keep fit. This can be pretty much anything that is physical, like walking, cycling,
running, swimming to weightlifting, etc. This too does not have to be expensive, and you can get a
great work out without joining any costly gyms. Most of these exercises are inexpensive, and just doing
a cardiovascular exercise, like walking, jogging, or walking on a treadmill a few times a week will do
your body (and heart) good.

A. CASHEWS
Gold-medal winning Olympic sprinter Kelly Holmes says she ate a bag of these wonder nuts after every
race to help her recover. They’re packed with zinc – brilliant for your immune system.
B. PISTACHIOS
Tony Blair’s favourite, these cut cholesterol and are rich in vitamins B and E – great for glowing skin.
C. BRAZIL NUTS
A study from the University of Illinois suggests Brazil nuts might help prevent breast cancer, thanks
to their high selenium content. They give you an energy buzz, too.
D. ALMONDS
These are real heart savers, as they are rich in a form of vitamin E called alphatocopherol, which lowers
your risk of cardiac disease.

University of Hawaii found that people who ate high-fat macadamias had the same cholesterol levels
as those on a low-fat diet.

much harder to manage and control and can be a significant cause of stress. Stress is now recognised
as a medical problem and as a signficant factor in causing coronary heart disease, high blood
