Go Out, Get Fit, Be Happy!

Sick, tired, stressed? Maybe you should go out. Spending time in the countryside, or green areas like parks, has
many health benefits.
A ______________
Even small amounts of exercise can build muscles and help your heart - the most important muscle of all.
Research suggests that doing no exercise can shorten your life by three to five years. It can be as bad for you as
obesity or smoking.
One 2011 study found that people who exercised outdoors move faster and felt less tired than those who exercised
indoors - perhaps because they enjoyed it more. What can you do outdoors in your area? For instance, if you were
lucky enough to live in a good area, you’d be able to skate, cycle, climb or simply walk in the park.
B ______________
Our body makes vitamin D when the sun shines on our skin. Studies suggest that we need vitamin D for strong
bones. It can also help us to get better more quickly when we get a bruise or sprain a muscle. However, too much
sun can cause skin cancer, so you shouldn’t stay outside for more than a few minutes without sun protection, and
you should try to avoid getting a sunburn.
C _________________
Some people think we should stay indoors in winter to avoid getting colds and other illnesses. That isn’t true. We
don’t get colds because we feel cold. We get colds from tiny viruses. These often spread more quickly in winter
because we spend more time close to other people indoors. Perhaps if you’d spent more time outdoors last winter,
you’d have felt healthier.
D _________________
When you breathe in fresh air, more oxygen enters your lungs. This travels around your body in your blood until
it reaches your brain. When your brain has extra oxygen, it makes a chemical called serotonin. This is sometimes
called the ‘feel-good chemical’, because it makes us feel good. Going outdoors may also help you to relax. In one
South Korean study, researchers studied people’s brains while they were looking at different pictures. They found
that looking at pictures of cities produced more stress and worry, while trees or mountains inspired positive
emotions and happy memories.
E _________________
Did you spend a lot of time studying indoors before your last exams? Perhaps you should have gone out more.
One study by the University of Michigan found that people’s memory and concentration improved by 20 percent
after they’d spent just an hour outdoors. Could going out help you get better grades? Why not test the idea
yourself!

III. Read the text, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Discover How Laughter Can Work for You!
You’ve probably heard the expression “Laughter is the best medicine”. Scientists and medical doctors
now agree that laughter can help people to deal with stress and anger. Research has shown that people who feel
happy and relaxed are healthier and have better relationships.
Laughter Yoga is a series of exercises. Laughter Yoga teaches you to laugh for no reason. You don’t have
to have a sense of humour, or understand funny jokes. You just have to laugh.
When you do Laughter Yoga in a group, you laugh and do yoga breathing, so that you increase the amount
of oxygen in your body. Soon the laughter exercises turn into real laughter. After a laughter yoga class, you feel
calm and relaxed, but also full of energy and happy.
Laughter Yoga was developed by Dr. Kataria, a doctor from India. Laughter Yoga classes started in
Mumbai in 1995 with just five people, and now there are over 6,000 laughter clubs in sixty different countries.
Julie Whitehead was one of the first people in the UK to become a Laughter Yoga teacher with Dr. Kataria. She
says, “Yoga has been a part of my life for thirty years, but in 2002 my life changed when I discovered Laughter
Yoga. I am particularly interested in health and well-being.”
She is a member of Laughter Network, a group of professionals who want to bring more laughter, health,
and happiness into people’s lives. They run Laughter Yoga classes and workshops in the UK, and Julie runs
Laughter Yoga holidays in Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Morocco.
Laughing is good for the body and the mind. When we laugh, we breathe more oxygen into our body,
which helps to keep us healthy. Endorphins, or happy chemicals, are released in the body, and you feel more
relaxed and happy. Laughter also brings people together to share some fun. Companies who have run Laughter
Yoga workshops find that they have advantages for both employers and employees. People who are happy at
work are more hard-working and make more money for the company. Also, people who laugh together
communicate more successfully. In general, people do better at work when they feel happy and relaxed.
If you’re not sure about Laughter Yoga, remember this, children laugh 300 - 400 times a day, but adults
only laugh around fifteen times a day.
Get more laughter in your life - you can feel the change in you, and when you change, the world changes.
Laughter is really the best medicine. You can get more information about Laughter Yoga on its website at
[email protected].
