Points)
Read the following article and then answer the questions that follow:
1. Without question, the most important positive action you can take to prevent illness and disease is exercise.
Exercise prevents a long list of diseases that can cause chronic or severe illness, disability, and even death,
including cancer, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and
osteoporosis. Exercise also prevents mental health illness and disease disorders, including depression,
anxiety, and stress. While some of these disease processes can be reversed with exercise and healthy life-
style, some cannot. Preventing them from starting is the number one goal.
2. The most negative lifestyle behaviour is smoking. Smoking contributes to the development of almost all
diseases, notably cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and asthma.
Smoking has the following negative health effects: lowers immunity, making you more likely to get
bronchitis, colds, and other infections; interferes with breathing by causing wheezing and asthma; causes
snoring and sleep apnea; impairs fine motor skills, leaving you shaky and unable to control your hands.
Athletes who smoke have decreased endurance and are more likely to suffer from exercise-induced asthma.
3. If you quit smoking before the diseases becomes chronic, you can reverse most of the effects smoking has
on the body breathing, snoring, immunity, and risk of cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure all
improves. Problems exist, however, if smoking has done permanent damage. Severe smoking-related
diseases, including cancer, emphysema, and coronary artery disease, are permanent.
4. Because doctors and health professionals are trained to recognize, treat, and prevent illness, following their
advice is recommended. Each person has different risks of diseases based on genetics and other health
history; therefore health recommendations can be slightly different for each individual.
5. The health benefits and risks of foods have been and will always be a source of excitement, controversy, and
research. Although it might seem that dietary recommendations change frequently, the consistent findings
are that getting adequate sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants through foods are the best way to
stay healthy. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and moderate in everything else, has been
consistently found to be most beneficial. A general rule is that the darker the colour of the fruit or vegetable,
the more nutritional value it has.
