Diet & Exercise
1) Diet
I think that diet is sometimes good for health, sometimes bad for health. Because, for example, if we eat only high-calorie food such as the fast food almost every day, we suffer from the metabolic syndrome to say in the world and are very unhealthy. In other words if eat the food which is good for health every day, we don't suffer from disease like the metabolic syndrome. Today, generally speaking, a healthy food is Japanese food. Above all, it is said that plum pickles and Japanese green tea are good for health. Plum pickles have a lot of effects. For example, it can remove physical fatigue, fix the condition of the stomach, cure a hangover early and be alleviation of fever. Japanese green tea has been drinking for old days, and most of Japanese long-lived drink it. There are antibacterial action and well oxygenation to Japanese green tea. Recently, it is said that Japanese green tea has effective in the cavity prevention, and attracts attention abroad.

Laughter !!
1) About laughter
I think that laughter is important for us. Because laughter makes me happy and fun, forget becoming tired and bad things, possible to be amused sincerely. Laughter has been taken in Thailand with an endless violent crime for the stress easing of the police officer. So, laughter is important for us.
2) Water Boys
I think that the movie of Japan called “Water boys” is very funny. The story of “Water boys” is very simple. Some high school boys begin to do synchronized swimming. Isn’t it funny that high school boys begin to do synchronized swimming? In addition to, the reason boys begin to do synchronized swimming is very impure is also funny. The reason they begin synchronized swimming is various. One parson wants to attract attention from girls and one parson is only interested in synchronized swimming. Their cause is really humorous and simple. Although it is the story at which it can laugh truly, it is also a movie describing the youth of the boys who tackle to one earnestly. However most stories still occupy laughter, it is a recommended movie to give up and laugh.
