　　The Best Way to Stay Healthy

　　    Nowadays, the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do, staying healthy is always important. Different people come up with different views. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.

　　    To begin with, keeping a good quality of psychology can reduce the pains. According to some surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others. So they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to release their spirit to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good quality of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot. As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.

　　     Keeping a good quality of mind and keeping a sense of humor are really good. Even if you are 80, you’ll never be old.
