And what is bad?”If you are doing exercises,
If you eat salad

You are friends with a cigarette -
You won't find health that way.
You need to, you need to study in the mornings and evenings.
Wash, toughen up, boldly play sports,
Try to be healthy.
Only we need this.
1. Introductory conversation.
Over the centuries, people's ideas about what it means to be healthy have not changed. Health, as a natural state of man, is the same in both the West and the East. Doctors and philosophers of antiquity quite rightly believed that man is an inseparable part of the surrounding world.
In Russia, Catherine II understood how important it was for the younger generation to learn to take care of their health. She established city public schools, where students were already taught how to take care of their health.
What do you think health is?
In 1783, the author of the textbook wrote: “We call the health of our body the state when our body is free from all defects and diseases.” In modern dictionaries, health means one or another physical state of a person.
What expressions do you know related to the word health? (I started for health, but brought it together for peace, I wish you health, good health, etc.)
What affects our health and what does it depend on?
2. Game-competition.
Before you is the image of a sloppy, sick man. Now we will try to find out what bad habits led him to this appearance. I ask you questions, if you answer correctly, the bad habit is removed and gradually the person takes on a normal, healthy appearance.
Why shouldn't you chew the end of a pencil or pen? (Teeth will be uneven)
Why can't you smoke? (bad breath, yellow teeth, cough, lameness)
How does drinking alcoholic beverages affect your health? (Vasodilation, red nose, liver disease, stomach disease, poor memory)
How often and why should you wash your hair? (To keep your hair clean and prevent lice, wash it once every 5-6 days).
Why shouldn't you bite your nails? (Under the nails there are pathogens of various diseases, helminth eggs).
What can the habit of putting inedible objects in your mouth lead to? (You can swallow an object, pierce your palate or cheek, or become infected with diseases)
Why can’t you exchange clothes and shoes, or wear other people’s hats? (you can get infected with skin infections)
Why can’t you watch TV and sit at the computer for hours? (Vision will deteriorate)
Conclusion:
Don't take other people's dresses
Don't bite your nails either,
Don't be friends with a cigarette
You can't find health that way.
3. Creative task.
At home, you were given the task of drawing one picture each on the theme: “We are for a healthy lifestyle.” Everyone must explain the meaning of their drawing. (Discussion of drawings)
4. Quiz.
1. What common insect serves as a carrier of microbes, contaminating unsealed food? (Fly)
2. Hand washing is an elementary rule of personal hygiene. List four times when hand washing is necessary to ensure food safety. (Before eating, after using the toilet, after touching pets, after handling raw meat).
3. What plants cause allergies? (poplar, alder, bird cherry, wormwood)
4. This vegetable is very cool,
Kills everything around.
Phytoncides help
And from smallpox and plague.
And we can also cure their colds. (Onion)
5. Name the means of hardening. (Sun, air, water)
6. Why shouldn’t you pet other people’s cats and dogs? (Possible infection with worm eggs, fleas, lichen)
7. Why shouldn’t you chew the tip of a pencil or pen? (The teeth will be uneven and germs may enter)
8. Why can’t you change clothes, shoes, and hats? (you can get infected with skin and infectious diseases).
9. What can squeezing out blackheads and pimples lead to? (to the emergence and spread of infections, including death from blood poisoning)
5. Final word.
Maintaining health is regular work. Now you are young and healthy. But don’t delude yourself – you should always remember to maintain your health. And in conclusion, we will try to draw up the main provisions of the health code.
What rules should you follow to be healthy? (I hand out codes to children)
Health Code:
Do not smoke, do not drink alcoholic beverages.
Exercise.
Eat fish, vegetables, and fruits more often.
Breathe fresh air.
Drink water, milk, juices, tea.
Walk as much as possible.
Enough sleep.
Show kindness.

Everyone has heard about such a concept as a healthy lifestyle. But many view this capacious concept as something one-sided, presenting only physical exercise, healthy food and giving up bad habits. This is partly correct. However, to dwell only on these three principles means to remain silent about the other, no less important components of a healthy lifestyle. The media talks about how important it is to value and take care of your health. “Yes, living healthy is good,” people agree. But why then do only a few still adhere to a healthy lifestyle? And how much is needed for this?
What is a healthy lifestyle?
Health is our happy life, our wealth. By approaching your health one-sidedly, it is impossible to be sure that this health will last until old age. By sometimes eating raw vegetables and fruits or taking a “health” trip to the seaside once a year, taking alcohol “only” on holidays and taking vitamin tablets, some believe that they adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle. Still, this is by no means a guarantee of health and problem solving. The concept of a “healthy lifestyle” is multifaceted and has many important components, without which our life cannot be called harmonious, fulfilling, healthy and happy.
We are too accustomed to our way of life. We are too busy, too lazy, too afraid to change anything in our lives. Bad habits and unhealthy food have tied our will and dictate theirs. We consciously submit to this process, and only when we encounter a serious illness do we reproach ourselves for our mistakes and habits. So why not change your life? Health is God's priceless gift to man. An amazingly fine-tuned person often does not appreciate what has been given to him for free. He wastes his health on temporary “life celebrations,” neglecting his health and depriving himself and his loved ones of a long, productive, happy life.
What is a healthy lifestyle? Why is it needed? Is it possible to live a healthy life today? Or is a healthy lifestyle not the key to good health? A healthy lifestyle is the key to a new interesting life, new joy and new health. By accustoming ourselves to new, useful habits, we move forward step by step - towards a happy and harmonious life.
Eight Keys to Health
It pays to be healthy. But how? There are eight basic factors essential to life that form the basis of the philosophy of health. What are they? Proper balanced nutrition, exercise, drinking enough water, friendship with sunlight, fresh open air, proper rest, abstinence and giving up bad habits, faith - these are the eight keys to health. Is it simple or not? It is worth answering the following questions: why is it “unfashionable” to drink water today? Why have regular water been replaced by sugary soft drinks, coffee, tea, beer or bottled sparkling water? Why is food today turning into a cult, and almost no holiday feast is complete without alcohol? Why do you want to be healthy, but at the same time you don’t want to do anything for it? Why is life so inexpensive?
Today's life is like a race; people rush, fuss, strive for new acquisitions, entertainment and pleasures, calling this a chance to live better and more interesting. Hurry sets the modern rhythm of life. Today it is common to have a snack at home and at work, at school, in transport and while walking. Well-organized family lunches and dinners have become a rarity. Hastily eaten sandwiches, heated fast food - and all this without stopping from work - this is the real situation. Hence, indigestion, bloating, heartburn and other gastric problems. Why do thoughts about healthy eating appear only after terrible diagnoses? After all, it has long been no secret that many diseases are associated with nutrition, that fresh, well-prepared, varied plant foods provide the body with all the fats, proteins, fiber and other important substances it needs. Vegetables, fruits, root vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts - a real pantry of tasty and healthy foods. Tastes are not given to a person from birth, they come with time and are cultivated. They can be changed. And every good habit we choose needs to be repeated again and again with persistence, patience, conviction, until it becomes a way of our life.
Speaking about physical activity, we cannot help but note the fact that today we are too lazy to move. Modern children do not run outside, climb trees, skate or play hide and seek. TV and computer now take up precious time. A sedentary lifestyle weakens body functions and is the shortest path to premature death. We want
live, have and maintain good health, energy, ability to work, live an interesting life. At this point, the desires end, because moving has become boring. But it is physical exercise that gives us a feeling of vigor, gives us a good mood, strengthens the heart, helps overcome depression and fights many diseases, increases our ability to work and maintains normal weight. Walking, running, swimming, cycling, gardening, climbing mountains and skiing help make life long and interesting. Sunlight strengthens the immune system, and fresh air calms and eliminates irritability, headaches and insomnia.
Today's times, no matter how difficult they may be, are wonderful to live in! A little optimism and a positive attitude towards life will also strengthen the body's defenses and its immune system. Scientists have found that if negative emotions - fear, anger, resentment, indignation, hatred, sadness, jealousy - accumulate for a long time, this can lead to a decrease in the number of “warrior cells” that protect the human body. None of this is new. King Solomon teaches us: “A merry heart does good, ... but a depressed spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
New start
Health is not everything. But without him everything is nothing. In the stressful, challenging modern life, people so often experience stress, disappointment, pain and hopelessness that they are tempted to trade their health and even their lives for anything that will bring them even temporary relief. But the joy of life and peace in the soul are not sold at the pharmacy. This secret is revealed in faith, in
in truth, in love. Hope exists through personal faith, and faith is synonymous with mature trust. Such hope in our lives is like the promise of spring. Faith is the greatest guarantee of health; it is not a psychological device that prevents you from touching solid ground. Faith is questions, doubts, and the search for answers. If the answers make sense, then faith is not a leap into the unknown, but the attainment of a state of increasing love and unity. One of the questions that faith asks is: “What is the purpose of life and where do we come from?” Discovering a new truth will be life's greatest achievement.
We represent great value. God created us for health and prosperity. Therefore, it’s time to go to the start, a new start in life, which will lead us along a healthy, truly kind route towards happiness. There is an exit. And this solution is in our conscious choice to lead a healthy lifestyle! On your marks! Attention! March!

Competition "The most compelling argument"
Team captains need to make the most convincing argument for the need for a healthy lifestyle within a minute.
The jury sums up the results of the competition.
Information lecture hall
1. Components of a healthy lifestyle
a) Correct breathing.
It is very important to always breathe through your nose. In the nasal passages, the air is purified, warmed, and moistened. In the health-improving gymnastics called “yoga,” it is generally accepted that “just one generation of people breathing correctly will revive humanity and make diseases so rare that they will be looked at as something extraordinary.”
Of course, it is also important that the air we breathe is clean.
b) Balanced nutrition.
Famous Russian publicist and literary critic D.I. Pisarev assured: “Change a person’s food, and the whole person will change little by little.” Human health is largely determined by the quantity and quality of food and diet. The modern diet of most people is characterized by a high consumption of foods containing a lot of carbohydrates. The result is overeating and obesity. “Moderation is nature’s ally,” said the ancient Greek physician, father of medicine, Hippocrates. Yes, nutrition should be moderate, but varied and nutritious.
Food must contain vitamins! Fresh vegetables and fruits, honey, dried apricots, nuts, raisins, buckwheat, oatmeal, millet - these are foods that increase the vital functions of the body. You need to include them in your diet. And bread made from finely ground flour, pasta, sausages, sausages, and fried potatoes are devoid of most biologically active substances. Such a diet reduces the vital activity of the body. It is also important to remember that products that contain various preservatives, sweeteners and dyes are not healthy and even dangerous to health.
c) Physical activity, physical education and sports, positive emotions and hardening.
It should be added that components of a healthy lifestyle also include physical activity (at least 30 minutes a day). It improves the functioning of all vital organs. Without physical activity there can be no health. “If you don’t run while you’re healthy, you’ll have to run when you’re sick,” said the Roman poet Horace.
The most useful and accessible sports: swimming, cycling, gymnastics, hiking.
Positive emotions are also necessary for a healthy lifestyle: joy, happiness, life satisfaction, kindness.
Negative emotions that destroy health: anger, fear, resentment, anxiety, melancholy, suspiciousness, greed. Try to avoid such emotions and protect the people around you from them.
2. Factors negatively affecting human health
a) Tobacco smoking.
It is often classified as a bad habit, but it is one of the dangerous diseases called chemical dependency. According to global statistics, about 2.5 million people die prematurely from smokers every year. There are about 400 components in tobacco smoke, 40 of which have a carcinogenic effect, i.e. can cause cancer. The most dangerous radioactive polonium-210.
Smoking has a particularly detrimental effect on a woman’s body. If a woman smokes during pregnancy, the likelihood of miscarriage increases, the weight of the fetus decreases, and premature birth may occur. The child of such a woman gets sick more often. If a woman smokes while breastfeeding, the child becomes weak, sickly, and lags behind in development. Smoking is very harmful for children and adolescents, boys and girls. After all, it is during adolescence that the body is finally formed, which should serve for the rest of its life. Smoking is dangerous not only for the smoker himself, but also for the people around him. So-called “passive smoking,” when a person is forced to inhale smoke while in a smoky room, has the same negative effect on the body as smoking itself.
b) Alcoholism.
“Alcoholism causes more devastation than the three historical scourges combined: famine, plague, war.”
W. Gladstone
In ancient times, people became acquainted with the unusual, cheerful effect of certain drinks. The most common milk, honey, fruit juices, after standing in the sun, changed not only their appearance and taste, but also acquired the ability to excite, instill a feeling of lightness, carelessness, and well-being. It didn’t take long for people to notice that the next day a person was paying with a headache, fatigue, and a bad mood. Our distant ancestors had no idea what a terrible enemy they had acquired.
The main component of most alcoholic drinks is ethyl alcohol. Taken orally, after 5-10 minutes it is absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body. Alcohol is poison for any living cell. Burning quickly, it deprives tissues and organs of oxygen and water. Under the influence of alcohol, almost all physiological processes in the body are disrupted, and this can lead to serious illnesses. Alcohol has the fastest and most destructive effect on brain cells; the tissue of the kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and liver is degenerated.
Under the influence of alcohol, blood vessels first dilate, and blood saturated with alcohol rapidly rushes to the brain, causing a sharp excitation of the nerve centers - this is where the overly cheerful mood and swagger of a drunken person come from. Following the increasing excitation in the cerebral cortex, a sharp weakening of the inhibition processes occurs. The cortex ceases to control the functioning of the (lower) subcortical parts of the brain. Therefore, an intoxicated person loses control over himself and a critical attitude towards his behavior. Losing his restraint and modesty, he says and does things that he would not say or do in a sober state. Each new portion of alcohol paralyzes the nerve centers more and more, as if connecting them and not allowing them to interfere with the chaotic activity of the sharply excited lower parts of the brain.
The famous Russian psychiatrist S.S. Korsanov described this state as follows: “An intoxicated person does not think about the consequences of his words and actions and treats them extremely frivolously... Passions and bad impulses appear without any cover and encourage more or less wild actions. But in a normal state, the same person can be well-mannered, and modest, even shy. Everything in his personality that is restrained by his upbringing, his habits of decency, seems to come out. In a state of intoxication, a person can tell any secret, loses vigilance, and ceases to be careful. It’s not without reason that they say: “What’s on a sober man’s mind is on the drunken man’s tongue.”
Beer is not as harmless as it sometimes seems. It is made from a healthy product - barley. This drink contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats and even vitamins. But in the process of making beer, fermentation microbes destroy all useful components, so there is little benefit from it, to put it mildly. In addition, 0.5 liters of beer corresponds to 60-80 g of vodka. According to the observations of the German psychotherapist E. Kraepelin, 45% of his patients became alcoholics as a result of drinking beer regularly and a lot. In addition, do not forget that this is a very high-calorie drink. Regular beer consumers quickly get fat.
c) Drug addiction.
Often the first step towards drugs is made out of curiosity. Up to 60% of drug addicts “tried” drugs this way. Drug addiction develops very quickly, its process is so rapid that at the age of 30-40 a drug addict is already a very old man. It only takes 2-3 months from psychological addiction to physical dependence.
Drugs have an extremely pronounced effect on the human body. Nerve cells seem to burn out, and the body’s protective functions sharply decrease. The defenseless body is attacked by many diseases. All organs and systems of the body suffer: the heart muscle is affected, gastritis, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis, liver cirrhosis, cholelithiasis and kidney stones, pneumonia, pleurisy, hepatitis, AIDS occur.
All types of metabolism are disrupted: protein, carbohydrate, fat. Personality changes are expressed in progressive degradation, often turning into dementia.
