Describe something important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. v. 1
Describe something important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You should say: what does healthy lifestyle mean to you what important aspect you have in your mind how it is important and explain why this is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Sample Answer 1: A healthy lifestyle is something we all talk about but only a few of us follow the rules to maintain it. I thank you for this wonderful topic and would like to talk about the importance of a balanced diet for having a healthy lifestyle. It is often said that 'what we eat defines what we become'. It is indeed true and in my opinion, healthy living greatly depends on someone's eating habit. Having a balanced diet means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions, and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. A healthy lifestyle is a combination of a sober and prudent living style with the soundness of body and mind. Both physical and psychological well-being is important in order to have a healthy lifestyle. It does not depend on someone's economic status or geographic location. Rather it is the willingness to lead a good life with some fundamental good habits. A balanced diet has a paramount importance to remain fit both physically and psychologically. Biologically, a person is a living organism who needs food to survive like any other living organism on this planet. As a superior creature, we have plenty of food items to choose from and in a way, this has made our food habit quite complex. Fast food, for example, in no way a good choice for us and yet we have become dependant on it. Obesity, for instance, is rare among people who have a good eating habit. Overweight has become one of the reasons people these days suffer from various diseases. Scientific research has proven that more than 30 percent health-related complexities could be avoided by having a good eating habit. The modern era is highly competitive and we are so busy these days than the past generations. However, this does not mean that we should not be aware of our health. We have got only one chance to live and some easy-to-follow rules like following a balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining personal hygiene etc. can make a huge difference. A sound mind lies on a sound body and a body needs calories to properly function. As an intelligent species, we should not act foolishly. We should provide our body with the right combination of food that provides necessary vitamins and calories to remain healthy - not more, not less and nothing harmful to our body and mind.   Sample Answer 2: Healthy lifestyle refers to the living in a planned way when someone will be fit, both mentally and physically, and free of almost all types of diseases. So, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, one should take balanced diet and have some sort of physical exercise. This is really an important issue to discuss. Many of us do not have the idea about a healthy lifestyle. Often people believe that having a good food means they are getting healthy. But they are living in a wrong conception. In fact, only having some good foods will not make you healthy rather you need to have something more for your health. To be healthy in all terms refers that one should also be free of diseases that may weaken them at any time of the year. Hence, the term a healthy lifestyle focuses on having regular physical exercises in line with having a balanced and nutritious diet. I believe that the importance of a healthy lifestyle is great and it is only achieved when an individual can have a combination of a nutritious food, moderate exercise and a life filled with happiness. Actually, a healthy lifestyle depends on how people are leading their daily lives. If they only eat rich foods and start believing that they are getting healthy, I think they are in the wrong way. To have a healthy lifestyle, one should also have to follow some other externals issues. I think taking exercises regularly is an important aspect of this issue. Having regular physical exercises help to build a healthy mind and accordingly the lifestyle becomes healthier.   This is really important for a good health. In fact, this is almost impossible to attain a good health without some sort of exercise. This is the key to everything. For instance, you need to burn your calories that come with your foods. If you do not burn the calories, they will make you overweight. And definitely, we do not prefer overweight. Rather, we should be fit and be able to do anything we want to do. But if we are unable to do the things we like due to the excessive healthy status of the body, it points that we are not healthy actually. The importance of physical exercise lies here. Often it is said that health is wealth. We are accustomed to the saying and realise the statement best after we fall ill. So, this is a precondition for a good health and a healthy lifestyle, I believe. Everything is its detrimental impacts. And the lifestyle is not an exception. If someone is absorbed in an enriched living style, surely s/ he will suffer for that in some stages of life unless they are taking any preventive measures. Unluckily, most of the people are unaware of the matter that they need to have some sort of physical movements to live healthily. When the living is healthy, I think the lifestyle becomes healthy as well. Therefore, this is important to have at least 30 minutes of exercise or other types physical movements for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card topic: Topic: Describe something important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 1. I think a healthy lifestyle means to take the right foods to get protein and other necessary food ingredients. I believe by following a balanced diet, one can have a healthy lifestyle. This is important because we cannot live without food. But it should be taken in a limited and balanced way. We need nutrients to get the energy to complete out tasks. 2. A healthy lifestyle is a way of living according to a routine. It appears to me that without following a routine, none can get the proper way of living. This is very important as everything should be balanced. This is important to me because, without a routine, someone cannot get the desired things. There will be lack of coherence among all the other thing that will make life complex. So, I firmly believe that a routine is necessary to get a healthy lifestyle. 3. Living without stress and tension is the best way to a healthy lifestyle, I think. This is an important aspect to consider to get a healthy lifestyle. Relieving stress is important as it destroys the inner peace of a soul. Unless some are relieved from stress, they are unable to lead a peaceful life. And life with stress is not considered at all as a healthy lifestyle. So, this is highly important to get a healthy lifestyle that someone should try relieving stress from life. 4. It may sound weird to many but I think having the right amount of sleep is the definition of a healthy lifestyle. I believe that without a proper sleep, someone is unable to focus on their daily activities. It is important because having a perfect sleep helps people t get necessary energy, complete their tasks efficiently and life becomes easier. Sleeping is also important because it helps to get relaxed and get new energy which people can invest to solve their workplace troubles. 5. A healthy lifestyle means to get the right amount of exercise every day. In fact, every person needs to get exercise in different forms to make them active and remove the laziness. It is important because when someone takes part in the exercise, they need to move their limbs and other organs. Following this way, they become and remain active. Exercise is important for a healthy lifestyle as it keeps people energetic. They can complete the tasks on time and consequently can enjoy their life.

Sample Answer 1:

A
healthy
lifestyle
is
something
we all
talk
about
but
only
a few of us follow the
rules
to maintain it. I thank you for this wonderful
topic
and would like to
talk
about the
importance
of a
balanced
diet for
having
a
healthy
lifestyle.

It is
often
said that 'what we eat defines what we become'. It is
indeed
true and in my opinion,
healthy
living
greatly
depends on someone's
eating
habit.
Having
a
balanced
diet
means
eating
a wide variety of
foods
in the
right
proportions, and consuming the
right
amount of
food
and drink to achieve and maintain a
healthy
body
weight.

A
healthy
lifestyle
is a combination of a sober and prudent
living
style with the soundness of
body
and
mind
. Both
physical
and psychological
well
-being is
important
in order to have a
healthy
lifestyle
. It does not depend on someone's economic status or geographic location.
Rather
it is the willingness to lead a
good
life
with
some
fundamental
good
habits.

A
balanced
diet has a paramount
importance
to remain fit both
physically
and
psychologically
.
Biologically
, a person is a

needs
food
to survive like any
other
living

Fast

we have

The modern era is
highly
competitive and
we are
so
busy these days than the past generations.
However
, this does not
mean
that we should not be aware of our
health
. We have
got
only

and
some
easy-to-follow
rules
like
following
a

exercise
,
maintaining

make
a huge difference.

A sound
mind
lies on a sound

and a

needs

Sample Answer
2: Healthy
lifestyle
refers to the
living
in a planned way when
someone
will
be fit
, both mentally and
physically
, and free of almost all types of diseases.
So
, to maintain a
healthy
lifestyle
, one should take
balanced
diet and have
some
sort of
physical
exercise.

This is
really
an
important
issue to discuss.
Many
of us do not have the
idea
about a
healthy
lifestyle
.
Often
people
believe
that
having
a
good
food
means
they are getting
healthy
.
But
they are
living
in a
wrong
conception. In fact,
only
having
some
good
foods
will not
make
you
healthy
rather
you
need
to have
something
more for your
health
. To be
healthy
in all terms refers that one should
also
be free of diseases that may weaken them at any time of the year.
Hence
, the term a
healthy
lifestyle
focuses on
having
regular
physical
exercises
in line with
having
a
balanced
and nutritious diet.

I
believe
that the
importance
of a
healthy
lifestyle
is great and it is
only
achieved when an individual can have a combination of a nutritious
food
, moderate
exercise
and a
life
filled with happiness.
Actually
, a
healthy
lifestyle
depends on how
people
are leading their daily
lives
. If they
only
eat rich
foods
and
start
believing that they are getting
healthy
, I
think
they are in the
wrong
way. To have a
healthy
lifestyle
, one should
also
have to
follow
some
other
externals issues. I
think
taking
exercises
regularly
is an
important
aspect of this issue.
Having
regular
physical
exercises
help
to build a
healthy
mind
and
accordingly
the
lifestyle
becomes
healthier.
 
This is
really
important
for a
good
health
. In fact, this is almost impossible to attain a
good
health
without
some
sort of
exercise
. This is the key to everything.
For instance
, you
need
to burn your calories that
come
with your
foods
. If you do not burn the calories, they will
make
you overweight. And definitely, we do not prefer overweight.
Rather
, we should
be fit
and be able to do anything we want to do.
But
if we are unable to do the things we like due to the excessive
healthy
status of the
body
, it points that we are not
healthy
actually
. The
importance
of
physical
exercise
lies here.
Often
it
is said
that
health
is wealth. We
are accustomed
to the saying and
realise
the statement best after we fall ill.
So
, this is a precondition for a
good
health
and a
healthy
lifestyle
, I believe.

Everything is its detrimental impacts. And the
lifestyle
is not an exception. If
someone
is absorbed
in an enriched
living
style,
surely
s/ he will suffer for that in
some
stages of
life
unless they are taking any preventive measures.
Unluckily
, most of the
people
are unaware of the matter that they
need
to have
some
sort of
physical
movements to
live
healthily
. When the
living
is
healthy
, I
think
the
lifestyle
becomes
healthy
as
well
.
Therefore
, this is
important
to have at least 30 minutes of
exercise
or
other
types
physical
movements for
maintaining
a
healthy
lifestyle

Topic

Describe
something

. 1. I

a

means
to take the

to
get
protein and
other
necessary
food
ingredients. I
believe
by
following
a

. This is
important
because
we cannot
live
without
food
.
But
it should
be taken
in a limited and
balanced
way. We
need
nutrients to
get
the energy to complete out
tasks. 2
. A
healthy
lifestyle
is a way of
living
according to a

. It appears to me that without
following
a

, none can
get
the proper way of
living
. This is
very

important

because
, without a

,
someone
cannot

make

So
, I
firmly
believe
that a

is
necessary
to
get
a

.
Living
without
stress
and tension is the best way to a
healthy
lifestyle
, I
think
. This is an
important
aspect to consider to
get
a
healthy
lifestyle
. Relieving
stress
is
important
as it
destroys
the inner peace of a soul. Unless
some
are relieved
from
stress
, they are unable to lead a peaceful
life
. And
life
with
stress
is not considered at all as a
healthy
lifestyle
.
So
, this is
highly
important
to
get
a
healthy
lifestyle
that
someone
should try relieving
stress
from
life. 4
. It may sound weird to
many
but
I
think
having
the
right
amount of sleep is the definition of a
healthy
lifestyle
. I
believe
that without a proper sleep,
someone
is unable to focus on their daily activities. It is
important
because
having
a perfect sleep
helps
people
t
get
necessary
energy, complete their
tasks
efficiently
and
life
becomes
easier. Sleeping is
also
important
because
it
helps
to
get
relaxed and
get
new energy which
people
can invest to solve their workplace troubles.

5. A
healthy
lifestyle
means
to
get
the
right
amount of
exercise
every day. In fact, every person
needs
to
get
exercise
in
different
forms to
make
them active and remove the laziness. It is
important
because
when
someone
takes part
in the
exercise
, they
need
to
move
their limbs and
other
organs.
Following
this way, they
become
and remain active.
Exercise
is
important
for a
healthy
lifestyle
as it
keeps
people
energetic. They can complete the
tasks
on time and
consequently
can enjoy their
life
.
