I prefer active and healthy lifestyle, but in fact it is very difficult to be determined only on one way... there are many situation in witch people are weak, and try something from the other lifestile. But i think it isn't something wrong. If we can keep everything in balance we can eat what we like, and be health
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I don't have to according rules healthy lifestyle. I like sometimes eat hamburger in MacDonald and pizza, a like coca cola and sometimes watch tv for all night. But I like eat wegetables and friuits and another healthy "ingediens" our live, My live is just balanced: some unhealthy and some halthy.
ReplyDeleteI my family house, my parents prefer healthy style of life- healthy eating and doing some kind of sport so I'm used to it. I usually try to eat healthy- a lot of vegetables and fresh things but still I have some little addictions like coke! I love coke and I'm drinking it a lot! I'm maybe not the biggest fan of sport but I'm rather active person- I'm dancing all year long, swimming in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. These are the most popular and pleasant ways of spending active time.
ReplyDeleteWell I know lots of healthy lifestyle but I sometimes don't have time and strenght to do it :).I'm trying to be an active person- I dance and practice yoga. Living on healthy way is the thing we can learn but it's better when we are used to this from our family home, when we see how our parent, sibling are living like that.

I try cooking in the house, but sometimes I eat hamburger in MacDonald, pizza or kebab. I drink not much alcohol. I`m not active person, but I want change it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be a healthy and fit person but it is really hard to find the time and be consistent. I try to do some sports, including climbing, table tennis and cycling and they make me feel happy and more content. However, I can’t be on a diet because I love polish food that contains many fats and carbohydrates.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to stay healthy but we shouldn’t forget that the most important is to be happy. And if it is connected even with the junk food we shouldn’t avoid things that make us happy.
I think the lifestyle is not only what we're eating. Lifestyle is a term a lot more general and our diet is only one of numerous things. I, the term of lifestyle immediately associate with the style of wearing, looking and (which is the most important) behaving. It describes who we are, who are our friends and frequently whrere do we come from. Often the lifestyle is connected to the music we're listening, mainly it concerns teenagers. They choose a music genre and they identify them with the leaders of music groups. However, as they grow up their way of thinking changes, they watch more critically and the're capable to create their own lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI think that ther is many way of lifestyle and to choose right everyone should make own idea of lifestyle. In that way we can adjust exercise and food to our possibility. Of course with any doubt we could consultation with expert.
ReplyDeleteI prefer a healthy lifestyle, because then I feel good, I keep fit and I like low-fat food. I love friuts and vegetables.Free - four days in week days in the evening I do exercise and go jogging. Sometimes I go to swimming pool or play volleyball.
ReplyDeleteOf course everybody want to keep fit and live in a healthy lifestyle but we are up to the eye in work, we live in hurry all time and it's not easy. However, healthy lifestyle is popular now, more and more people find some time for going to the gym, swimming pool or they practice at home. I also noticed that there is coming in to being many places when you can eat healthy meals - made from fresh vegetables and fruits. And what is interesting queue to this bars are getting gradually bigger than queue for kebab,
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it is hard to say which style of life I prefer. I have no addictions and I like doing sports (especially: riding a bike, swimming, jogging and skiing). But sometimes I can’t deny oneself to eat something in fast food restaurants or to can’t afford myself to eat some sweets or too much chocolate. Anyway I’m a big fun of healthy lifestyle and I would like to have more motivation to always behave in accordance with my believes.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I like more, doing sport or lying on the bed with pack of krisps. I want to keep fit but usually I don't have time on it. I try eating healthy food like vegetables or fruits, but it is really difficult because I very like candy and fast food! When I have free time I go by bike or play volleyball. I think that today it's really difficult to keep healthy lifestyle. We don't have enough free time and we have too much stress!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very difficult to keep healthy lifestyle. In healthy lifestyle it's important to do physical exercises,
ReplyDeletedrink only water or juice, eat slowly and healthy without hamburgers from Burger King (and other fast food but B.K. is
the best !;) and sleep well (I mean 8-9 h, not 12 h ). Nowadays it's nearly impossible. We sleep not to much and eat quickly and unhealthy.
Everyone should to care about health, it doesn't matter how many hours is spending with computer and documents, even it doesn't matter if we are tired - healthly eat and a lot of move, sports are the only way to be alive and healthly ;) I love healthly lifestyle (mainly because I do very much sports) such as special diet, trainning and a lot of things, which makes me healthly and glad ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with opinion what kind of lifestyle I'm leading but I think that is some kind of mixed lifestyle. I do exercises, raiding a bike and a horse(when I have a free time)generaly I love move and I hate sitting in the same place without it but sometimes I also like reading a book or watch some good film. I try eatting healthy food like fruits, vegetables or fish(I hate fish)but it is realy difficult beacouse I love pizza. In my opinion it is really diffcult to lead authentic healthy lifestyle!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's really hard to life healthy but I think that I can frankly say that my lifestyle is healthy. I always try to eat healthy food- especially fruits and vegetables. I also don't smoke and drink alcohol. But I have to admit that I I`m not active person, but I want change it.
ReplyDeleteI try to lead consistent lifestyle: I avoid for example confectionery (besides I don't like, I run twice a day, drink almost always water. I think it's a matter of habit. I fell with it better and it's not a problem or sacrifice for me.

ReplyDeleteHealthy lifestyle is very good. People should to practice any sport and eat only healthy food. But unfortunately today people don't have time for it. We prefer relax after work then thinking about our lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI try to lead a healthy lifestyle. I try to use a healthy diet, or 5 meals a day instead of sweets, dried fruits and halvah or sesame. Of course, not always me that goes, but in general I can say that nourishes consciously. I sleep always min. 8 hours, I run and I practice every day (or every other day:) My problem is, however, coffee and cigarettes, I know that cigarettes are especially enemy health.
