건강에 대한 생각 변화 Changing Views on Health

저는 상당히 건강한 편이었습니다. 면역력이 강해서, 감기도 잘 안 걸렸어요. 남편이 말하기를 , 자기가 알고 있는 운동을 안 하는 사람 중에 제가 가장 건강하다고 할 정요였어요.
I used to be quite healthy. I had a strong immune system, so I rarely caught a cold. My husband even said that I was the healthiest person he knew who didn't work out.

그런데 작년부터 감기에 더 주자 걸리기 시작했고, 잘 낫지도 않았어요. 그러면서 체력과 면역력이 정말 중요하다는 것을 깨닫고 있습니다.
But starting last year, I started catching colds more often. I also found that it took longer to recover. I've come to realize how important stamina and immunity really are.

요즘은 특히 '먹는 게 그대로 건강으로 간다.'라는 말에 크게 공감하게 됩니다. 건강에 더 신경을 쓰면서, 좀 더 건강하게 먹으려고 노력하고 있습니다. 균형 있는 식단을 따르는 것이 건강 유지에 매우 중요하다고 생각합니다.
These days, I can really relate to the saying, "What you eat directly affects your health." As I pay more attention to myhealth, I'm trying to eat healthier. I believe that a balanced diet is crucial to maintain good health.

운동은 좋아하지 않아서, 따로 챙겨서 하고 있지는 않아요. 하지만 산책이나 계단 오르기 등 일상생활 속에서 할 수 있는 가벼운 운동을 시작해 보려고 합니다.

I don't like exercising, so I don't make it a point to work out. However, I'm considering doing light exercises that I can incorporate into my daily life, like taking a walks or climbing stairs.
