1/ Slash (v):
Negative meaning: cut something by knife violently
Positive meaning: reduce something by significant amount
To slash the risk of something
2/ Premature (a): earlier than expected or natural time
Pre = before, mature = to be ready
3/ Run for your life: move as fast as possible away from danger
Negative way: get out of/ move away from dangerous situation
Positive way: doing helpful something now, the good result will come in future.
A slow 50- minute jog a week is very effective to help live longer. It can not only slash the risk of health issues but also the premature dangers. Thus, we keep doing exercise to run for our life!

I think that those who simply can't run, or have difficulties to do it, have obviously a bad health, so they die earlier.
But in another point of view, those who run often, will not stop being able to run, if they like it. So they will carry on their health to remain able to run.

Hi I've got one question about this video here. When they were explaining the word slash, Neil said that he would not say 'Rob needs to slash......'. And Georgena agreed. However, that sentence is shown in the slides as an example. mmmm... I feel a little bit confused.

If you want to run for your life , you should slash bad eating habits and keep daily running. That would stop the premeture death from happening. Thanks for BBC learning.

What a pity that not everyone who speaks english, do it clearly and with good pronunciation as you do! Everything would be much easier!
