Essential Healthy Living Vocabulary
Learning to talk about health in Spanish starts with mastering key phrases that you'll use constantly. Una vida sana (a healthy lifestyle) is your go-to phrase for this entire topic.
The good habits are straightforward to remember: hacer deporte frecuentemente (do sport frequently), dormir ocho horas al día (sleep 8 hours a day), and beber agua frecuentemente (drink water frequently). You'll also need comer más frutas y verduras (eat more fruit and veg) for any healthy eating discussion.
On the flip side, the unhealthy habits follow similar patterns: comer comida basura (eat junk food), tomar drogas (take drugs), beber alcohol (drink alcohol), and fumar cigarillos (smoke cigarettes). Notice how comer and beber appear in both positive and negative contexts.
Quick Tip: Remember that más means "more" and menos means "less" - these words are essential for comparing healthy vs unhealthy choices.
