Are you a couch potato?Many people take good care of their bodies and have a healthy life. They eat well, keep fi t, sleep well and have a good rest after work. They have an active private and professional life.There are also a lot of people who do not really care about their health. They say that they feel tired after school or work and they are bored because they cannot fi nd anything interesting to do in life. This is when they become couch potatoes.A couch potato is a child or adult who spends most of his or her free time at home. He or she sits on a couch or lies on a sofa, eats snacks and drinks cola. A couch potato watches lots of TV and often changes the programme to fi nd something better or more interesting. They also watch DVDs or play video games. Sometimes they play the same games all the time.People who are couch potatoes can look ten years older than people who are healthy and active. Couch potatoes are often overweight because they dont get any physical activity. They only get up from the sofa for something very important. They also get backache because they sit on the sofa for a long time and do not move. Sadly, it is often diffi cult for them to change their couch potato lifestyle.
