Overweight (超重) is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you. What's worse， overweight children turn into overweight adults (成人). If you're obese now， you probably will grow into obese adult. But here's good news. You can fight overweight.
Change your eating habits
You are what you eat. Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next， kids choose salty snacks， like chips. What's more， the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No. 11. Finally， No. 12， kids picked a healthy snack--fruit， so， think about your snack choice again.
Get outside to exercise
Jim， a player on his school football team， had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years， the heavy kid became athletic， fit and healthy.
More TV means more fat
Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day that adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV (or more Internet surfing， or more computer games) means more fat.
Eat an apple a day， walk around the house， play with your family...Do it today， and do it more tomorrow. It will help you a lot.

Foggy weather (雾霾天气) always makes people uncomfortable. When it comes to our health， it becomes more dangerous. When winter comes， we see a lot of foggy days in North China. The air is very bad for our health. The government decided to fight air pollution until the end. On December 5th， the Ministry of Environment Protection made a plan for cutting down air pollution for the coming years. According to this plan， China tries to cut the PM 2.5 pollution at least 5 % by 2015 in 117 cities. Human activities are the biggest reason of the PM 2.5 pollution， especially like motor vehicle emissions (机动车排放物).
Health experts say that smaller particles (颗粒) are far more dangerous and may get bad results on hearts and other important parts of our bodies. They can not be stopped in our nose， so they can travel into our bodies.
"The beginning of the plan is to improve air quality and solve the PM 2.5 problem. This problem has a bad result to many people，" said Zhao Hualin who works for the ministry. He added that the key point is to protect (保护) people's health.
To finish the five-year-plan， China will use clean energy (清洁能源). At the same time， the country will use more city buses and subways to control the number of new cars.
