Are you looking for a more interesting alternative to your weekly
Shop? Why not try one of the many farmers' markets which have
sprung up all over the country? With a fine selection of the very
freshest fruit and vegetables, as well as bread, cheese, meat and
honey, these farmers' markets offer the shopper both variety
and superior quality, as well as a pleasant change from a boring
trip to the supermarket.
Farmers' markets have been popular in smaller towns for many
years, and they also have a long tradition in parts of London .
Even though the majority of people prefer shopping in large
supermarkets, particularly on weekdays, shopping at local farmers'
markets is becoming a more and more popular weekend activity.
These markets offer a chance for farmers to sell fresh produce
directly to the public. This direct contact with the producers gives
customers the opportunity to ask questions about the produce they
are buying. This is exactly what appeals to the city shoppers who
frequent these markets - they want to know where their food
comes from and how it is made. They are looking for fresh, high quality produce from local suppliers, and an authentic taste of the
country. However, it isn't only city folk who are benefiting from
this boom in farmers' markets, as tourists are also keen to sample
genuine UK produce such as organic sausages and home-made
bread.
Edinburgh Farmers' Market is one of the most prestigious
markets in the UK and has won many awards for its high-quality
produce. It takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., just
below the impressive Edinburgh Castle, which provides a rather
dramatic setting. Visitors to t he market can find a wide variety of
local products, including fresh seafood. There are even cookery
demonstrations where you can learn how to really make the most of
the delicious home-grown produce. Whether you are simply doing
your weekly shopping, or looking for something special to buy,
a visit to one of these farmers' markets is always an interesting
experience.

Today healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular both with the old and the young. People have become more health-conscious. They say that the greatest wealth is health. And it’s so true. The healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live.
A healthy diet is an essential part of staying healthy. We know that we should not stuff ourselves with fast food, sweets, sausages, pastry and fat food. Due to medical research, this type of food shortens our life, it leads to obesity, heart and blood vessels diseases, diabetes, gastric problems and lots of other serious ailments. To prevent all these problems we should enjoy well-balanced home-made meals with a lot of organic fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains and seafood. We are what we eat.
Keeping fit and going in for sports is also important for our health. Lack of exercise in our life is a serious problem. In big cities people spend hours sitting in front of computers, TV-sets and other gadgets. We walk less because we mainly use cars and public transport. We certainly don’t have to be professional sportsmen, but we should visit fitness clubs, go jogging, walk much, swim, go cycling or roller-skating or just dance. Doctors say that regular moderate physical activity is necessary for our body because it protects us from strokes and heart diseases, flue and obesity.
We must understand the harm of bad habits for our health. Smoking, drinking or taking drugs mean serious illnesses and even death from lung cancer or liver diseases, for instance. Cigarettes kill about 3 million heavy-smokers every year. Drug addicts die very young. So I think there is no place for bad habits in a healthy way of life.
Taking a proper rest and getting enough sleep, from 8 to 10 hours daily, are also great healthy habits. Sleep is the food for our brain and the rest for our muscles. Moreover we should avoid getting nervous or worried for no reason.
Healthy way of life concerns our body, mind and soul. Healthy people live longer, they are more successful and they enjoy their life. I believe that it’s not difficult at all to follow these simple rules, and they are worth it.

Сегодня здоровый образ жизни становится все более популярным среди молодых и пожилых. Люди стали более внимательными к своему здоровью. Говорят, что здоровье – это самое большое богатство. И это чистая правда. Чем здоровее наш организм, тем лучше мы себя чувствуем. Чем лучше мы себя чувствуем, тем дольше мы живем.
Здоровая диета – важная часть здоровой жизни. Мы знаем, что мы не должны заполнять свой организм едой фаст-фуд, сладостями, колбасными и мучными изделиями, жирными продуктами. Согласно медицинским исследованиям, такая еда сокращает жизнь, ведет к ожирению, заболеваниям сердца и кровеносных сосудов, диабету, желудочным проблемам и многим другим серьезным недугам. Для того, чтобы предотвратить эти проблемы, нам следует наслаждаться сбалансированной домашней едой, богатой органическими фруктами, овощами, молочными продуктами, злаками и морепродуктами. Мы есть то, что мы едим.
Оставаться подтянутым и заниматься спортом – это тоже важный момент для нашего здоровья. Недостаток движения в нашей жизни является серьезной проблемой. В больших городах люди часами сидят перед компьютером, телевизором и другими гаджетами. Мы меньше ходим пешком, поскольку пользуемся, главным образом, автомобилями и общественным транспортом. Разумеется, мы не обязаны становиться профессиональными спортсменами, но нам нужно посещать фитнесс-клубы, заниматься бегом, много ходить, плавать, кататься на велосипеде или роликах или просто танцевать. Врачи утверждают, что регулярная умеренная физическая активность необходима для нашего тела, так как она защищает нас от сердечных заболеваний и приступов, гриппа и ожирения.
Мы обязаны понимать пагубное влияние вредных привычек на наше здоровье. Курение, алкоголизм и наркомания означают серьезные заболевания и даже смерть от рака легких или заболеваний печени, к примеру. Сигареты убивают около 3 миллионов курильщиков ежегодно. Наркоманы умирают очень молодыми. Поэтому, я считаю, что в здоровом образе жизни нет места для вредных привычек.
К здоровым привычкам также относятся хороший отдых и достаточный сон, от 8 до 10 часов ежедневно. Сон – это пища для нашего мозга и отдых для наших мышц. Более того, нам следует избегать нервничать или беспокоиться без особого повода.
Здоровый образ жизни затрагивает наше тело, ум и душу. Здоровые люди живут дольше, они более успешны и получают удовольствие от жизни. Думаю, что следовать этим простым правилам совсем несложно, и они стоят того.
