Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

“A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.”

In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich (富有……的) in it, but chicken and meat are not.

“The best time to exercise is early in the morning.”

No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.

“If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.”

The fact is that you must have some water during breaks (休息时间) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired.

“Exercising every day is quite important.”

Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for our health. You need to give your body a day of rest.

An English traveler spent a few weeks in Sweden(瑞典). When he was about to return home, he found that he had only enough money left to get a ticket to come back to England. Thinking the matter over, he decided that he could get home without eating anything as it was only a two-day sailing. So he bought a ticket with that money he had and went on board.

He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinner time came, he refused to go down to the place where people had their dinner, saying that he did not feel well.
