Everybody knows that sport is healthy. It helps to keep fit. But what is about professional sportsmen. Are they healthy?
On one hand, professional sportsmen are full of life strong people with good health. But on the other hand, the main part of their life is the professional traumas. Everybody knows a story of one boxer, named Muhammad Ali. He was the winner of the Olympics in 1960. He won 51 out of 56 combats. He was the real master of boxing. But the price for that was very high - he got Parkinson disease at the age of 40.
Another problem is dope. Sportsmen use it to win the first places and gold medals. But they don’t know if it will bring no harm in future .For example, body builders use the steroids to gain muscles. But is it very harmful for them. They can have problems with health in future.
Sportsmen are forced to retire young. To be sportsmen is not meant to be healthy. It is a hard job. You can be popular, you can win a lot of medals, you can be rich but what you will have in future nobody knows.
- Hello Mary! How are you? I have not seen you for ages!
- Hello Kate. I am fine, thank you. I am not too good because of this weather.
- Yes, you are rifgt. We never used to have weather like we have these days.
- No, I know. There doesn't seem to be any satbility any more. It's cold when you expect it to be warm and warm when you expect it to be cold.
- They say it's a lot to do with the greenhouse effect.
- I have heard about that. Doesn't it come from all the carbon gasses we're putting into the atmosphere?
- Not to mention central heating and air conditioning. The gasses stop the sun's heat escaping into space, just like the glass in a greenhouse does.
- So, the heat is trapped in the atmosphere making it hotter and hotter. It may be all for plants, but not for us. I think it is scary.
