SOME ADVICE CONCERNING HEALTH
ES2A read and learnt about health disorders and ways to prevent them.
Here is what our students say:

The best way to stay healthy is loving yourself
While it’s true that doing exercise and going to the gym is very good for you, in my
opinion, loving yourself is the best way to stay healthy.
I think it’s clear that if you don’t have self-love, you can’t be %100 happy. Loving
yourself is very important because otherwise you can have an eating disorder. An
eating disorder can make you throw up everything you eat, for example, and that’s
not healthy.
Second, I believe that self-love can influence a lot in your mental health. Mental health
is the base of everything in your body. If you compare yourself with everyone, you are
going to feel worse mentally every time.
So, not loving yourself can have some bad consequences and those consequences are
far away from being healthy.

The best way to stay healthy is to stay happy
While it’s true that many people think you have to be healthy to be happy, I think that
the best way to stay healthy is to stay happy.
One reason I think this is that when you love yourself you are happier, because you
don’t have many insecurities bugging you.
Second, in my opinion mental health is very important too, because if you are happy
you don’t have to be dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, etc. But if you’re not
happy you will have to visit a psychiatrist or a psychologist, and maybe you start eating
badly and have to go to the doctor.
For me, the third most important thing to be happy is that for example if you have a
little fever but you’re happy you may not notice it and feel nothing
Eating well and exercising are good for your health, but for me being happy is more
important in order to stay healthy.
