But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Lets read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy. Eat a variety of food, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite food. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important.

You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of sugar. Sugar only includes calories (热量), not important nutrition.Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels fortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel unfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.Limit screen time. Whats screen time? Its the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies and playing puter games.

Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He announced the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.16.
