Always learn a word with its collocation (the words that go with it) and one example sentence. Then use it in your own practice writing until it feels natural.
IELTS Vocabulary: Health
Use these high-frequency health words with their natural collocations. Learn each word with its example so you use it accurately — accuracy scores higher than rare “big words”.
| Word / phrase | Common collocation | Example sentence |
|---|---|---|
| sedentary lifestyle | lead a sedentary lifestyle | A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of disease. |
| mental well-being | support mental well-being | Exercise supports mental well-being. |
| life expectancy | raise life expectancy | Better healthcare has raised life expectancy. |
| preventive care | invest in preventive care | Preventive care reduces long-term costs. |
| obesity | tackle obesity | Governments are struggling to tackle obesity. |
| balanced diet | maintain a balanced diet | A balanced diet is key to good health. |
Accurate every time. One misused “advanced” word hurts your Lexical Resource score more than a simple word used correctly.
