A special kind of *flu (H1N1) is now *spreading in many countries, including China. So it’s important to know how to stop catching flu and cold. Here are some suggestions on how to keep away from flu.

1. Wash your hands often. The flu, as with colds, is spread from person to person. The way these *germs are spread is not by breathing them, but by picking them up on our hands and spreading them to our face where they can get into your body. So please remember: wash your hands often and don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.

2. Get enough sleep. Enough sleep is important to the health. Enough sleep will make you energetic and active again. More important than how long you sleep is when you sleep. Studies show that the best spring or summer bedtime is between 9 and 10 p.m. and the best autumn or winter bedtime is between 8 and 9 p.m.

3. Drink water every day. Water helps change food into energy. Water also helps clean out your body. After a night’s sleep, your body really needs water. So it’s important to drink some water after you get up every morning. And drinking enough water could keep your balance of salt. But don't drink water much more than you would, or should.

4. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Scientists have found out that what people eat affects their health. They advise people to keep a balanced diet and that is to say, you should eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork. You should also eat less food that is high in fat, like French fries or cookies.

5. Do more exercise. It is surely necessary to take some exercise every day. Studies show that getting lots of exercise makes the heart healthier. That’s why more and more people are becoming active in all kinds of sports and exercise. Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger. So in the morning, you can get up early, go outdoors, breathe the fresh air, and do exercises. When we exercise, our body produces special chemicals that give us energy, and exercise also helps improve our body’s *ability to fight disease.

　　Have you ever taken part in a marathon? A marathon is 42km long. It is the longest race in the world. To make the runner's body work harder, training is quite necessary. A runner should start to prepare for a marathon at least three months before. Preparation includes races many hours of running at different speeds, and changes in diet. During the training period, the runner must eat a regular and balanced diet. The diet should include a lot of carbohydrates to supply the energy needed in training.

　　In the early days of training, runners cover 80km per week. The weekly total is increased every two or three weeks and at least two long runs per week are added.

　　Two weeks before the marathon, the training program is reduced, from 100km per week down to 60 and then to 30km in the final week. On the last two days they may not run at all.

　　Breakfast should be eaten at least three hours before the race. Easily digested food such as cereal, toast and scrambled egg is best, with as much fluid as possible. Runners should drink water about half an hour before the race to keep up the body fluid levels.
