“Early to bed，early to rise”makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. It's good for the body.
This is an old saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
That is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have enough sleep，or they can't do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!
The body also needs exercise: walking, running, jumping, swimming, playing games and all other exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood to move around inside the body.
