Eat less fast foods, fried food, candy, cookies, desserts, cheese, burgers and ice cream. Eat whole grains and fresh vegetables. Walk or do another exercise you like for one-half hour (or more) each day. The best diet/exercise programmes work over a long period of time. Crash diets do not work.

Regular sleeping patterns help reduce stress in your life. If your mind and body are tired, you will probably sleep better, so stay active during the day. Quiet activities in the evening, such as reading or watching television, help to relax your body before bedtime. Don’t take naps during the day or you may not feel sleepy at bedtime. If you miss a few hours of sleep, don’t worry. Try to keep your sleeping hours regular most of the time.

Could I have the bill, please?  (Pode trazer a conta, por favor?) May I ask you a question?  (Posso fazer uma pergunta?) Can you turn on the TV, please? (Posso ligar a televisão, por favor? Will you answer the phone, please?  (Atende o telefone, por favor.) Would you sign this document, please?  (Poderia assinar este documento, por favor?) Would you mind closing the door?  (Você se incomodaria em fechar a porta?)
