Health experts suggest that ……[<1>]….... healthy and happy, it’s important to keep our lives in balance.
Chinese philosophy, which has spanned thousands of years, uses the principles of yin and yang to

balance in ……[<3>]….... of living. Today health experts agree that it’s important to have a balanced life.
For example, they’ve said it’s necessary to have a balance between work and rest and to have a
balanced exercise program. ……[<4>]…...., I’m sure you’d agree that in our busy world, it’s not always
easy to get and keep balance in our lives.
……[<5>]….... business or study deadlines, many people work to excess, leaving little time at the end of
