What foods do you eat every day? Do you eat healthy foods? U.S. Photographer Gregg Segal goes around the world. He asks kids what they eat each week. Then, he takes photos of the kids with their food, Times reports.
Segal wants to use the photos to tell kids to eat more healthily. Eating habits form when we’re young.
How can you tell if your food is healthy or not? One quick way is to see what colors are in your food. According to Times. Usually, white foods don’t have a lot of nutrition, such as bread and sugar. But foods with bright colors do, such as broccoli, carrots and blueberries.
For packaged foods, take a look at the ingredients. Try not to eat foods with more than five ingredients.
You can write down everything you eat for one week. If possible, take photos and notes of your meals. That way, you’ll have a clearer picture of what you eat.

【推荐3】It was summertime. Donna walked into the classroom. “ Good afternoon, everybody !” That was a joke Donna told every day. Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.
Donna knew that the students didn’t like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.
Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She smiled and said, “ Okay, well. Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying participles as adjectives(分词作形容词). Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we’re just going to practice using present participles as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard.
“ The present participle tells us what kind of emotion the subject(主语)is causing. For example, when we say ‘grammar is boring’, we mean that the subject—grammar — causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting’, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far ? Is anyone confused ? ”
The classroom was quiet. Donna knew it would take some time for everyone to understand what she was talking about. After a while, Donna got a little excited because she saw looks of understanding on some of the students’ faces.

Children in Great Britain will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to children. It is now asking for public suggestions about what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC has reported.
An energy drink is a type of drink that has stimulants (兴奋剂) like caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.
However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than soft drinks. That may explain why obesity (肥胖症) rates have risen among children.
Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red Bull has about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, the Guardian noted.
In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to the government data. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges this country is facing. It is necessary that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a speech.
The ban would apply to (应用于) drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter (升). Under the ban, shops in England that sell energy drinks to children may face fines (罚款) of up to £2, 500 (22, 374 yuan).

【推荐2】While many people think of the vegetarian diet (素食) as one of the best ways to lose weight, scientists point out that a vegan diet is more effective for weight loss. A vegan diet is a diet that avoids animal products. It is stricter than a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians give up eating meat, while in a vegan type of diet, people give up not only meat, but all other animal products, including milk and eggs.
People choose to follow a vegan diet for various reasons. Some people choose it for better health. They believe that animal-based food, like red meat, is a main reason for many types of health problems. Plant-based food, however, is usually low in calories and fat, and it might prevent a few illnesses. Others pick up a vegan lifestyle because it’s better for the environment. Meat-based diets use more resources, including land, water, and energy, to produce food, while vegan diets require less farm land.
You may ask if this kind of diet can provide enough protein to keep the body healthy. Some nutritionists (营养学家) explain plant proteins can give enough energy humans need in daily life. Some of them even believe foods should be eaten without being cooked. In this way, helpful nutritions can be kept better. That makes a vegan diet a healthier lifestyle. Nutritionists also state that whichever diet one may follow, it’s important to make sure that it contains all the nutritions the body needs. Still, understanding the effects of vegan diets on health remains challenging, because research on this eating style is often put together with vegetarian or plant-based diets.
The vegan style can be difficult in practice unless people are well prepared to follow this lifestyle. It may not suit everyone as people are in different health conditions. So learn about your body well before you make any decision. In this way, you will make the best choice for yourself.

Some limited (限量的) pins, such as a series of six inspired by ancient Chinese stories, quickly sold out. The series has put Chinese fairy tales into the pattern, vividly showing the images of Pangu separating the sky from the earth, Jingwei filling up the sea, Chang’e flying to the moon, etc. Only 2,022 sets of the series were produced.

【推荐3】The Songkran Festival is traditional Thai New Year’s Day and is celebrated from April 13 to April 15. It is also called the “Water Festival” because people believe that water will wash away bad luck. Also, this festival is for rain because it is held in the hottest season.
In the past, on this day, people threw small drops of water on monks and old people to bless(祝福)them. Nowadays, besides the old tradition, people also throw water on whoever walks past their houses or walks down the street. Everyone gets wet, but it is all in a spirit of friendliness, blessing and fun—even among people who usually have great disagreements. People who get wet actually do not get angry because they know that it is a tradition.
On this day, everywhere in Thailand, people celebrate and enjoy the festival. People will carry water to the temples to soak the stone figures(石像), using brushes. They also give very good food to the monks. Chiang Mai Province, which is in the northern part of Thailand, is especially lively, and animals and birds are often set free from their cages. What’s more, people can enjoy public events, such as beauty contests and marching bands during this festival which ends on April 15.
