1 . 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 whether you are really hungry or not. Sometimes you are just thirsty (渴的). You need no food. You just need a glass of water.
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 snacks instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. Because of 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 most of the food before you rest for the next 8 to 10 hours.

2 . Doctors across the world tell us it is necessary to eat lots of vegetables to keep the heart healthy. But a new study in February, 2022 suggested eating a lot of vegetables may not greatly cut down the risk of heart problems.
The study is from universities in Oxford and Hong Kong, China. Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and cooked and uncooked vegetables they ate. The study actually found that the risk of dying from heart problems was around 15% lower for those eating the most vegetables, especially uncooked vegetables.
However, scientists explained that many other factors (因素) also have something to do with this 15% drop. These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables. These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink. Lead researcher Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford said, “Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.”
But does it mean that eating vegetables is futile? No. Many other scientists advise that people should still eat at least five kinds of fruit and vegetables every day. That’s because vegetables are important for keeping good health and reducing the risk of serious illnesses.
1. How many people answered questions for the study?| A．About 4,000. | B．About 1,000. | C．About 100,000. | D．About 400,000. |
①Whether we smoke. ②Where we live.
③How we get to work. ④What job we do.
⑤How much exercise we get.
| A．①③⑤ | B．①②③ | C．①②⑤ | D．③④⑤ |
| A．Bad. | B．Useless. | C．Cheap. | D．Necessary. |
| A．Eating cooked vegetables is better than eating uncooked vegetables. |
| B．Many factors are as important as eating vegetables to heart health. |
| C．Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford started the study alone. |
| D．Scientists found facts showing eating vegetables can keep heart problems away. |
| A．Vegetables are healthier than meat. |
| B．Eating too many vegetables is bad for our health. |
| C．Doctors across the world are lying about eating vegetables. |
| D．Eating vegetables may not be so helpful to keep the heart healthy. |
3 . Do you love fast food? Why? How often do you eat it? 200 people joined the survey. According to (根据) the survey result by Xinhua Research (调查) Center. Fast food is getting more popular among people. Let’s take a look at the results of the survey.
| A．14% | B．28% | C．44% | D．8% |
| A．delicious | B．cheap | C．healthy | D．convenient |
| A．All people love fast food. |
| B．Fast food makes people fat. |
| C．People eat fast food on weekends. |
| D．Some people don’t know what food is healthier. |
4 . We all know that eating vegetables is good for us. Then why do some people like them but others don’t? A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could play a part. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show dislikes for them can influence others.
A team of scientists in the UK set out to study how the facial expressions people make as they eat influence a person watching them. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli (西兰花). The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad) or look disgusted (厌恶的) by what they were tasting.
The study found that people who watched someone else with disgusted expressions while eating broccoli began to like broccoli less. The opposite was not true, however. When someone had a positive facial expression while eating broccoli, people watching them did not end up liking broccoli more.
Humans learn which behaviors, including eating, will benefit them by watching the reactions (反应) of others. Known as social modeling, it can have a strong influence on people’s eating habits. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that appears disgusting because it could help protect them from eating something that tastes bad or could even be dangerous.
Although the research focused only on adults, experts think the results could also apply to (适用) children. This means that if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either. Another study found that children between the ages of 4 and 6 were more likely to eat broccoli if they had seen videos of adults enjoying it. The team said further research is needed to find out how other people’s facial expressions influence not only how much people like a vegetable but also how much of it they choose to eat. They also hope to understand more about how the behavior of adults influences children’s enjoyment of food. This could help experts find ways to encourage young people to eat more of the foods that are healthy for them.

5 . You know that exercise is good to help you relax, but do you know balancing (平衡) your diet is also important? How to balance your diet? Let me tell you something about it.
Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of a day. If you don’t have time to sit down and have a healthy breakfast, try vegetable juice before you go to school. This is much better than coffee.
It’s a good idea to eat less salt. Foods like hot dogs have lots of salt in them. So eat less or give them up.
You should also stay away from foods with much fat (脂肪). You can eat vegetables, fruit, fish and chicken. They’re healthy for you and help you relax as well. For example, you can eat chicken hamburgers instead of beef hamburgers.
Don’t often go out for lunch. You can let your mother make lunch at home and take it to school. Eat some cabbage or salad with chicken. Drink lots of water every day.
Balancing your diet to relax is as important as exercise. I hope you have a good meal today.

6 . You are what you eat. How does eating meals right benefit your health?
Do you have a balanced diet? Nutritionist (营养学家) Lambert believes it’s more important what you eat than when you eat. “Your nutrition has more meaning than a time schedule or a number of meals. The foods you choose to consume (摄入) will have an effect on your whole health,” she says. A balanced diet, Lambert adds, should include a handful of carbs (for example, rice, pasta), an outstretched handful of protein (chicken, tofu), two handfuls of vegetable, and a thumb-sized part of fat (olive oil for cooking), but how many meals you choose to eat and their size depend on personal preference, lifestyle, and health goals. If, for example, someone wants to lose weight and sits all the time in the evening, Lambert suggests that a smaller part at dinner than lunch would make sense.
When did you last eat? “Timing is a key factor,” says Hyde, nutritional therapist. “Looking at the best times to eat can not only help you control weight, but also reduce inflammation (炎症) and help you sleep better.” Intermittent (间歇性的) fasting (禁食) has become popular over the years, meaning that you can consume food within a 10-hour time window and fast for 14 hours overnight. Then, consider the time between your last bite and going to sleep. Another nutritionist Mark says, “You should stop eating two hours before going to bed.” Different lifestyles can make this difficult. If you’re getting home late, and therefore don’t have that two-hour window before bed, Mark suggests a smaller, lighter dinner, such as a bowl of soup.
The sounds you make while chewing (咀嚼) have an important effect on the amount of food you eat, a new study has found. Researchers carried out an experiment, and the results suggest that people are likely to consume less if they can hear themselves eating. So Elder said, “Chew each mouthful, enjoy it and think of the taste, then you will start to realize when you’re full. So take your time and you won’t have chocolate afterwards.”
In a word, whether you try to control the food you eat or the time you eat it, you should choose the most suitable eating style that can continue, rather than it being an instant return.

8 . Cars need petrol (汽油). Horses need hay (草料). You need breakfast.
| Do you go without breakfast on some or most days? Studies show that people who don’t have breakfast are more likely to snack on junk food before noon *be overweight * get mad *do worse than they could at school work *die younger than those who eat a good breakfast every day. Those who don’t eat breakfast think slower. They take in information more slowly in their working memory.

9 . Taking better care of yourself takes a while and doesn’t happen overnight. However, if you want to do something, you’ll improve your personal well-being, good health, and confidence sooner or later. Here are some useful tips.
 | Get plenty of sleep. Sleep is a key point. You need at least seven to eight or nine hours of sleep. Put yourself to sleep early every night. Take a nap after you finish your lunch, but remember the sleep should be within 30 minutes. |
 | Do regular exercise. 60% of our readers said that the most satisfying and useful way to practice self-care was through exercise. This not only helps you to stay in shape, but clears your mind for thinking straight. Work out, but do not do too much, or you’ll get hurt next day. Start jogging or lifting weights slowly. |
 | Eat healthy food. Eat vegetables, fruits, anything that doesn’t make your stomach hurt a lot. Choose according to your needs. Try to make food for yourselves. Cooking food for yourselves is relaxing. It also helps the food choices you make are healthy. |
 | _______________ When many people expect you to do things for them, it can become challenging and stressing. You may feel as if you never say what you really think.

10 . Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? It probably depends on what you’re doing for the rest of it. Before the industrial revolution, most people had leftovers or nothing for breakfast. Edward Bernays created a marketing project in the 1920s that made eggs and bacon a common breakfast choice. But in today’s world, fewer people work physically challenging jobs, so is it still necessary to begin the day with a protein-rich meal or a bowl of porridge? Does it matter if you don’t—and might there actually be health benefits to breaking your fast later in the day?
First, let’s hear from the breakfast supporters. Some studies suggest that breakfast-skippers have a risk of heart disease and high blood sugar, across a range of populations around the world. At the same time, other studies show breakfast-skippers are more likely to choose poorer foods throughout the day—which makes sense, as skipping breakfast seems to keep levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin (饥饿激素) high, while the satiety hormone leptin (饱腹感激素瘦素) stays suppressed.
Breakfast eaters often have healthier habits, but not always. What if some people really care about their health but choose to skip breakfast? Well, actually...
“Skipping breakfast can be described as a kind of time-restricted feeding’ (限时进食), as you reduce the ‘window’ when you can eat,” says the nutritionist (营养学家) Drew Price. “If I was working with someone who wanted a breakfast-skipping-type plan, then I would be paying more attention than ever to what they are eating to make sure they get enough protein, healthy fats and other beneficial nutrients. However, skipping breakfast isn’t suitable for everyone, especially those people with disordered eating, certain health conditions, and those who are young or elderly, for whom balanced energy intake is important.”
What should you do then? Just eat in the way that lets you make the healthiest choices, most long-lastingly. If that means a couple of fried eggs and some vegetables at 7 a.m., great, but if all you need to make it to 11 a.m. is a strong cup of coffee, don’t worry about it too much. Oh, and if a bowl of porridge can help guide you away from your basic needs, then go for it—we can all use a bit of help in the morning, after all.
