EAT ТO BE HEALTHY
Our eating habits affect our feeling during the day. What happens if I have no breakfast, or
poor breakfast? I'm likely to be glad or cross, and, of course, hungry till having lunch.
Food is a form of fuel. It gives us energy, helps us to grow, resists diseases, forms strong
teeth and bones. No single food can take care of all body's needs. Different foods do different
things for the body. Some foods are better than others in helping make strong muscles. Among
them are meats, eggs, fish, and poultry. Some foods are better than others in helping keep
bones, teeth, skin, and blood. Among these foods are fruit, vegetables, milk, and cheese.
There are so many kinds of food - fast food, snacks, junk food - that it may be difficult to
follow a healthy diet. In the past, sailors who went on long sea voyages stayed on their ships for
many months without going ashore. They did not get fresh food and so often suffered from a
disuse called scurry. Scurry is caused by a lack of vitamin C, which is found in fruit and
vegetables.
In our country, bread is an important part of our everyday food. My granny says that if
there is no bread, there is no food.
