Have you ever seen blue ice cream topped with black fruits? That sounds foreign and not delicious at all! That’s the power of colors．It could either make your dinner more delicious or spoil(搞糟)the whole table．

    Scientists have found that blue may make people lose appetite．If you don’t want to eat too much at your classmate’s birthday party，put your cake on a blue plate．You’ll stop eating soon．

    Why is it that people don’t feel like eating when they see blue? It’s all in their mind．

    People relate the color of food they see with food in their memory．But where does one find blue food? There are almost no blue leafy vegetables and no blue meat．So people get a “foreign” or “strange” feeling about the food itself．

    Also，people naturally try to avoid being poisoned(中毒)．For thousands of years，blue．purple and black were “color warning signs”．Foods of these colors are most probably poisonous．

    Then what are tasty colors? Scientists say people feel like eating more when they see red and colors close to it．These fire people’s hunger neurons(神经元)and make the blood run faster．

    So what should go into dishes? You need to think it over before helping your mum with dinner．

Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty-sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal
Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest(消化)most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.
