    My personal definition of being healthy means eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, reducing anxiety, and doing exercise. First, I think it is important to eat healthy foods. According to "CSEP", they say that teens between the ages of 14 - 17 should sleep around 8 - 10 hours each night. When you sleep, your body can grow and you need some rest. When you sleep, you maintain good health. When you get good sleep, you decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other diseases. Sleep helps to mend your heart. If you do not have good sleep, you might increase the risk of heart diseases, stroke, and other diseases. Or, sometimes you have thinking issues if you can`t sleep or you cannot focus. It is important for me to eat healthy foods because according to "Canada`s Food Guide," you have to eat a balanced meal and you cannot eat too many salty foods like chips and French fries from "Mcdonald's." You could eat balanced meals like fruits and vege...

Sacraments can have real causes and they have happened in real life like when you are a baby, you are baptized. Sacraments were involved in the 5 senses by touch, taste, see, hear, and smell. Like for example, when you receive your "First Holy Communion," it requires taste because the Priest will put Jesus in your mouth. These are the 7 sacraments.
