Who Lives Longer
‘‘Who Lives Longer’’ by Patricia Skalka discusses about what you can do to live longer. In these days men tend to die younger than women because they break the rules more than women, what I mean about ‘‘break the rules’’ is that they do not follow the seven simple health practices. Another thing is that people have to be careful because stress can cause short term health and psychological issues.
Nowadays people are stressed because most of them work too hard and do not take a break. My mother is one of them, she is always working.
Something that was making my mother sick was the environment that we lived, there are a lot of crime, and the noise in the grocery beside our house in the neighborhood that I was raised. Thanks God she lives better now.
Although I do not work, I feel stressed sometimes because when I do not have class I have to take care of my little sister and brothers. My little sister is a foolish little girl, she thinks she is big, and always wants to do things that she can’t do. The things that she does, she does it on purpose to attract my attention. The three of them are always making mess, and me correcting them and cleaning the mess, that stresses me.
One thing that I do to reduce my stress is going to New York to my brother’s house, I have fun with him. I just feel peaceful over there.
