If you gave a survey on how many people want to be healthy and live a long life, you will
almost always find that everyone says yes. If you read this article and stick to these steps, you may
have a healthy and happy life.
Wash your hair at least three times a week. When you don't wash your hair, your hair will
become dirty. Sometimes you may need to adjust the times you wash your hair. Depending on your
hair type, you may need to wash more or less. Shower/Bathe at least five times a week. If you don’t
shower at least five times a week, you will start to smell. Brush your teeth and floss twice a day. If
you have braces, you need to brush even more. Generally, you brush in the morning and before bed,
and if you have braces you need to brush and floss after EVERY eating, even snacks. Wash your
hands before eating, and after using the restroom! If you don't wash your hands before eating, the
germs that are on your hands will go into your mouth and make you sick. Eat right and exercise!
It's the most important part of a healthy lifestyle. As for exercising, this doesn’t mean _▲_ out an
expensive gym membership. Get moving in all sorts of free ways. Dancing to the radio, walking the
dog, jogging round the block, and even doing housework are all great ways to make you healthy
easily.

If you need to call your parents but your smart phone is not with you, can you remember their
numbers? To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. However, because of the smart phone, many of
us are losing this ability(能力). A report says that Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their
smart phones every day. Many students are addicted to playing with smart games. It's true that
smart phones make people's life easier. But many scientists think people spend too much time on
their smart phones, and this is bad for their studies and work. We should try to change that. An app
called Forest lets users plant a seed. The seed can grow into a tree over the next 30 minutes. But
during the half hour, users can’t use their smart phones, or the tree will die. A restaurant in Los
Angles gives people a 5% discount(折扣) if they don’t check their smart phones during a meal. The
owner Mark Gold hopes it can help to give people a way to enjoy their meals and talk with their
friends and family in person.
The smart phone is smart. But it may not make its users smarter.
