HEALTH TALK

Get in the habit!

We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much of a difference these habits
can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people
about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived.

The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.
These habits are:

1. eating breakfast every day
2. avoiding snacks between meals
3. keeping an ideal weight—not too heavy or too thin
4. exercising regularly
5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night—not more or less
6. not smoking
7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day

The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three

or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another
33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34
who practiced only one or two of the habits.
But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week
and be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.

B According to the article, which things are good for your health (+) and which are bad for your
health (—)? Which are not mentioned (x)?

1. ____ having only coffee for breakfast 6. ____ sleeping 7 or 8 hours a night

2. taking vitamins i being very skinny

3. going for a walk every day 8. swimming three times a week

4, eating ice cream as a snack LỄ _ seeing your doctor every year

ù. ___ drinking a few glasses of wine with dinner 10. ___ having cereal and toast every
morning

2 powerful — b. connected

3. realize — c. exactly right

4 avoiding_ d. things you usually do
