      Health

      Doctors talk to their patients every day about health.  Patients learn that they should all get enough rest and reduce stress.  Doctors say that most people need eight hours of sleep every night.  Doctors also say that it is important to eat three healthy meals a day.  Exercising every day is important too. We should see the doctor every year for a checkup or a physical.  Finally, doctors say that smoking is NOT a good ideal.  So, to be healthy, we need to get enough sleep, reduce stress, eat well, exercise, see the doctor, and we should never smoke.
