4. Read these texts. Which do you agree with?

Looking after yourself. 1. We should look after ourselves properly. We know it's dangerous to smoke, we know we shouldn't drink too much, and we know that diet is important. If we eat good food and take enough exercise we enjoy life more, and we enjoy it for longer. It's common sense.

2. It's ridiculous - people spend their lives worrying about what they eat and drink, going to the gym, and being unhappy about the way they live. And it doesn't make any difference. Eat what you want to eat, drink what you want to drink, and enjoy yourself. My granddad lived on fish and chips and Guinness, and he lived to 94.
