There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources are acid
rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills.
Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine
with water vapour in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in
the rain and make it acidic. Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution problem of all. It has harmed water
life by turning many lakes into lifeless bodies of water.
Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous. In big cities, the
exhaust fumes build up and cause a health danger to human beings. Therefore, today some large cities have to
ban cars from the city center to wipe out smoke and limit the emission of poisonous gases to solve the problem
of air pollution.

Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In spite of all
the information available about diets, Scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple. There are
several basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in carbohydrates, which are the
starches in grains, legumes (beans and peas), vegetables, and some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit
salt. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, which are high in vitamins.
A healthful lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness, irritability,
and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding and
swimming, and muscle-strengthening exercices, such as weight-lifting.
Good health is acquired by saying no to bad habits such as smoking, drinking and overeating and by
avoiding situations that are constantly stressful. People can take their lives and their happiness into their
own hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step.
