‫We're now going to move on to eight alt's essential pieces of vocabulary for health and fitness.
‫Let's take a look at your vocabulary list now.
‫We have physique, nutrition, workout, diet, obesity diagnosis.
‫Infection and therapy, so these are just sort of eight really important words and pieces of vocabulary
‫that I think you must understand in preparation for your ELT's test.
‫Let's take a look at our first word, which is physique.
‫Physique simply means the well-being of your body, how it looks and how well it is.
‫Is it sick?
‫Is it feeling strong?
‫Let's take a look at the example.
‫Sports people work hard to have a strong physique and perform at the top of their game.
‫And I've added this phrase at the top of their game, at the top of your game, at the top of my game.
‫It's a phrase that describes someone who is performing at the very best of their ability.
‫For example, you could say Cristiano Ronaldo played at the top of his game.
‫And let's take a look at the next example sentence, I feel that swimming and running are the best activities
‫to build your physique, and that's a common verb used alongside physique.
‫It's a collocation.
‫You build physique, you don't grow your physique.
‫You build it often use when people are exercising, for example, with weights.
‫Let's take a look at our next piece of vocabulary, which is nutrition.
‫And nutrition is a word used to describe how well someone is eating.
‫Are they getting the correct nutrients or is it a healthy diet?
‫This person is eating or we are eating.
‫Here are some examples.
‫Having a balanced diet and getting the right nutrition are very important for our health.
‫Now, I haven't highlighted this phrase balanced diet, but it's a very common collocation to describe
‫a diet that has all the right kinds of food.
‫Equally as important as exercise, nutrition is beneficial to our health.
‫OK, work out.
‫So when we use this word workout, it means that we are often going to the gym or performing an activity
‫to improve our health.
‫I try to work out at least four times a week.
‫During summer months, more people from Sheffield work out than during winter workouts often used when
‫people are talking about going to the gym.
‫I'm going to go and work out.
‫Diet, this very simply means what you are eating.
‫You can have a bad diet and you can have a good diet.
‫My brother has tried numerous diets, although none really worked for him in this example, we are saying
‫there are lots of different types of diets.
‫Some diets are to lose weight.
‫Some diets are to build muscle.
‫Some diets are to build energy.
‫I'm trying to add more fresh fruit to my diet to be more healthy, that diet is a very common topic
‫in media and in English and in adults as well.
‫Obesity and obesity is a problem that is a growing issue, especially in Western countries where many
‫people are very or highly overweight, so overweight, they are sick, they are obese.
‫In many Western countries, obesity has become a grave concern, and I've highlighted the phrase grave
‫concern, a grave concern is a phrase used to describe something that is highly worrying.
‫And obesity is, to many governments, a grave concern.
‫Fast food and sugary snacks are all a cause of obesity.
‫Diagnosis, a diagnosis is given usually from some kind of doctor.
‫If you are not feeling well, you get a diagnosis to describe what is wrong with you.
‫Sometimes getting the correct diagnosis can take a lot of time and frustration.
‫My doctor informed me the diagnosis looked good and I could go home very soon.
‫So there are some examples for diagnosis, and next up, we have infection and infection is an illness
‫that could get potentially could get worse.
‫And we often go to the doctors if we have a cut that is infected, it has an infection.
‫There is some kind of possible disease there.
‫The rise in infections from water supplies dropped in the last three years.
‫On my last vacation, I caught a pretty nasty infection from a small cut, nasty infection are words
‫that are often paired together.
‫That's a nasty infection.
‫And here we have therapy.
‫Therapy is where you go to see a specialist doctor of some sorts and they try to help you either physically
‫or mentally as well.
‫My doctor suggested therapy to help build strength in my knee.
‫Our therapy is something that usually happens over an extended period of time.
‫And next up, after suffering from depression, I have been going to therapy for the last two months,
‫so in this example, we're talking about depression.
‫So this is some kind of mental therapy.
‫This isn't physical therapy.
