Staying healthy includes a balanced diet, staying clean, getting lots of exercise as well as staying away from drugs. People will keep healthy for many years if they eat healthily and exercise often. Let’s see, how can we be sure to get a balanced diet? The information below will be very helpful for you.

★Variety means you should have many different kinds of foods because no one single food can give you all the nutrients (营养) that your growing body needs. It is the best to eat foods of all colors because you will get more kinds of nutrients from foods of different colors.

★Balance means you should eat foods of different groups each day. Rice, fruit, vegetables and meat are all important for you. You will get all the nutrients you need for the right growth and development.

★Moderation (节制) means you should be careful not to eat too much of any kind of food.

Healthy eating does not mean giving up your favorite food; just learn to balance the food choices that you make. You can enjoy snacks and meals while still keeping yourself in good health.

    Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us like to have sweets and ice-cream ,but a lot of us don’t eat meat or rice. Sweets and ice creams are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals , it may take away our appetite( 食欲 ).It is important for us to eat our food at the same time each day.  When we feel hungry , it is a sign(迹象) that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.

A long time ago in England, some judges（法官） decided if a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread . If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the truth. A man who is worried has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because of his worry, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
