Last summer, I went to a small village with my parents for vacation. The life there was quite different from that in the city. The air was fresh and the sky was clear. Every morning, I was woken up by the singing of birds instead of the noise of cars.

One day, I met an old man, Mr. Li. He lived alone in a small house near the river. I often saw him sitting under a big tree, reading or just looking at the mountains. I felt curious and decided to talk to him.

“Good morning, young man,” he said with a warm smile. “Are you enjoying your time here?”

“Yes, it's very peaceful,” I replied. “But don't you feel lonely living here by yourself?”

Mr. Li laughed. “Lonely? Not at all. I have my books, my garden, and all the animals around. They are my friends. Besides, many villagers often come to visit me. We drink tea and chat.”

He told me that he used to be a teacher in the city. After he retired, he chose to return to his hometown. “Life is simple here, but it's full of happiness,” he said. “I grow my own vegetables, read my favorite books, and enjoy the beauty of nature every day.”

Talking with Mr. Li made me think a lot. We always want more in the city—more money, a bigger house, a better car. But are we really happier? Sometimes, a simple life might bring us more joy.

Do you know how to keep healthy? Here are some good habits for you.

First, eat different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you'd better eat something different. If you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients (营养) your body needs.

Second, drink water and milk often. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the best. Try to limit (限制) sugary drinks, like soda and juice. They have lots of sugar. Sugar just adds calories (卡路里), not important nutrients.

Third, listen to your body. How do you feel when you are full? When you are eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable and can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

Fourth, limit screen time. What's screen time? It's the time you spend watching TV, playing computer games, or using a smart phone. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on screen time.
