One really important part of staying healthy is looking after our lungs. Our lungs help us breathe, and breathing is what keeps us alive!
One way to look after our lungs is by regularly doing physical activity. When we run, jump, or play sports, our lungs must work harder to keep up with all the action. Our lungs breathe in clean fresh air that is then used by the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood around our bodies to make them stronger and healthier.
Another important thing we can do is make positive health choices. This means eating lots of colourful fruits and vegetables, eating plenty of lean protein and carbohydrates, drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep each night. When we take care of our bodies by giving them the right fuel and enough rest, we’re helping to keep ourselves healthy and happy.
But sometimes, we might come across things that aren’t so good for our bodies, like vaping or smoking. These are things that can hurt our lungs and make it harder for us to breathe. When we choose not to vape or smoke, we’re not only protecting our lungs from aerosols (气溶胶) and smoke and our brains from addictive nicotine (尼古丁), but we’re also setting ourselves up for lifelong health benefits. By taking care of our bodies now, we’re helping to make sure that we stay healthy and strong as we grow older.
So, whether it’s by playing outside with friends, eating yummy fruits and vegetables, or saying no to things that aren’t good for us, there are lots of ways we can keep our bodies fit and ready to play. And by making these healthy choices, we’re not only taking care of ourselves, but also setting ourselves up for a lifetime of health and happiness. So, take a breath and get plenty of fresh air, ensure you get at least eight hours of sleep each night, physical activity each day, keep making smart choices — and keep being awesome!
