Health and Diet
 
 
Nowadays health plays an important role for people because most of them care about health and how can they be healthy. So they have to follow some steps that will help them to be in the condition they want. First, food and drinks, which most people and scientist who care about health agree plays a big role in the health because it has big effects on health in good and bad ways. Secondly, regular exercise also has an effect on our health. However, relaxing is another step that helps the body to build and be healthier. Also, there are big differences between the past and todays life style because many things change such as life style, food, work etc.. So from that we can understand that being healthy is what most people are looking for. In this report I will describe about the healthy life by applying these steps and also I will talk about the sports and leisure in the UAE in the past and now.  
Food and drinks are very important for keeping health as I mentioned before because there is healthy and unhealthy food. Healthy food plays an important role to keep our body healthy because it has important vitamins and proteins which help the body to build and keep on a diet. Examples of these foods are fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, etc. So rich vitamins and proteins keep the body healthy. Also, drink a lot of water and fresh juice such as orange juice because it will help the body to be on the safe side because it helps the body to burn a lot of fat from the body. In particular drink 



water on the morning. Unhealthy food really is a bad and big problem nowadays because it's spread everywhere and is easy to get. Unhealthy food contains a lot of fat which leads to obesity and diabetes. Examples of unhealthy food are many and I will mention some of them; the first one the fast food such as burgers and hotdogs which are easy to get from different places such as cafeteria. Secondly the chocolate which contains a lot of calories that affects the body to gain weight and lead to the obesity which many children face it. Also, soft drinks like coke and Pepsi affects our health because most people like to have it during the meal. However taking the snacks between the meals makes the body gain weight. 
    


As I said before the exercise also plays an important role in the health because it helps to burn the fat and also to build the muscles. There is an argument about the exercises from Edward Smith Stanley which is "those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness." The




benefits from the exercise are very important especially for the young people because it helps them in the future by keeping them fit and strong. Doing exercise regularly has several benefits for the body and health. It controls your body from gaining weight which will prevent you from being obese. Also it fights disease such as blood pressure and also the pain from the back and head. It keeps your mode and power on the safe side because every time you do exercise you save and build something new in your body. Also, it helps you to spend your free time having fun especially with friends and you learn and do new activities. In addition, it will keep your face and body looking better and also help you get better sleep. Also, it helps you to release strain and pressure after work or stressful days that you have. In the end they advise everyone to walk for one hour four times a week to protect our health from disease. So from all that we can understand and know about the importance of regular exercise and the good effects that you will have after doing it.

Relaxing is one of the most important things that affects the health because it helps the body to relax after applying the following steps especially sports. Also you have to sleep at least 7 hours daily and avoid sleeping late because it has bad affects on the body and mind. However, doctors and scientists agree that sleeping about 4 hours at night is better than sleeping 10 hours a day. On the other hand changing the daily routine by going to the beach and swimming and relaxing there will help our health to change because the fresh air and changing weather will improve our health.   
 
In the past, there were no clubs or centers and experience about health in the United Arab Emirates.  People were working in different things by themselves in different jobs such as farms, sea and in the desert so they were moving around to save their lives and provide the money and food for their family. As I hear from my grandfather they were eating too much before but they are working which lead them to burn the fat and the sugar that they were taking during the day. Also he mentioned to us that they spent their own time searching on the mountains for the honey and collecting wood or plants which they could get benefit from. He said there weren’t any clinic or hospitals around them; all things were far from them so they didn't know that much about health and what food could affect their health so nowadays most of our grandparents and parents face the diabetes, obesity and blood pressure. But nowadays it is very different from past because the country is developed and many things are improved. They build clubs and health centers which help the society to care about health and how and where they can spend their own time. Also the government cares about the old activities which are camel and horse racing and diving so they make festivals about them to let people and the visitors know and don’t forget our traditional customs. Finally, the life is very different from the past because of the rapid development of the country.
