Part 5 — True / False: Healthy living (21–24)
Write T (True) or F (False).
Healthy living is very important for teenagers because it helps them grow physically and mentally. A healthy lifestyle includes eating nutritious food, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. Teenagers should eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods instead of consuming too much fast food or sugary drinks. Regular physical activity, such as cycling, swimming, or playing sports, can improve fitness and reduce stress. In addition, sleep is essential because it allows the body and brain to recover after a busy day. Experts recommend that teenagers get at least eight hours of sleep each night. Another important habit is limiting screen time and spending more time outdoors with friends and family. Although maintaining healthy habits may seem difficult at first, the long-term benefits are significant. Teenagers who live healthily often have more energy, better concentration, and a lower risk of developing health problems in the future.
Teenagers should avoid consuming too much fast food and sugary drinks to live healthily.
