There’s a lot of discussion about healthy kids. Parents want to know how to help kids be healthy.
Being healthy is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of exercise, and has a healthy weight. If you’re healthy, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like running around with your friends.
Here are five rules to live by, if you’re a kid who wants to be healthy.
Do not be picky about food. What you like eating doesn’t mean they are healthy. If you eat many kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.
When you’re really thirsty, cold water is the No. 1 for you. Kids need calcium to build strong bones, and milk is good to do that.
What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and, over a period of time, can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Do you know the blue light? It’s a kind of light that comes from the screens of many electronic devices, like TVs, computers and smart phones. Too much blue light can stop you from getting sleepy and you will sleep badly.
Besides watching TV or playing computer games, why not go out to exercise and do some sports? So when your mom or dad says it’s time to stop staring at the screen, put down your iPhone, pick up your basketball and enjoy some games outdoors!
Tell your parents about these rules. If you’re a healthy kid, why shouldn’t you have a healthy mom and a healthy dad?
| A．Do Sports |
| B．Don’t Stay Up Late |
| C．Don’t Eat Too Much |
| D．Spend Less Screen Time |
| E．Drink Water and Milk Most Often |
| F．Eat Different Kinds of Food |

Teenagers need to eat food that is good for their bodies while they’re still young so that they will grow up to be healthy adults. So it is necessary for school cafeterias （食堂）to provide nutritious and healthy food. With this in mind, the government has introduced a new food safety rule that will improve nutrition and health standards in schools.
The rule came into force on April 1, 2019. It requires the heads of primary and middle schools to eat with students in their cafeterias. Schools will also be required to make information about food sources and suppliers（供应商）public.
The rule also suggests that parents should eat with students at school in order to provide advice on food safety and nutrition. Schools must try to find food safety problems and solve them in a timely manner.
If a school is caught buying low-quality food or failing to report food safety incidents（事件）, the head of the school will be warned, fired or handed over to law enforcement（执法机关）, the rule says.
Parents across China have become angry about food safety incidents in schools. The most recent example happened in March at the Chengdu No. 7 High School Development School. Parents posted videos and photos of moldy（发霉的）food that was served in the school cafeteria. Finally, the head of the school was fired. In October, the head of an international school in Shanghai was fired after health and education authorities found moldy tomatoes and onions in the school’s kitchen.
What do other schools do?
Schools in other countries have many ways to ensure food safety. For example, many parents in Australia volunteer in their children’s school cafeterias. These parents do their best to see that their children are served nutritious food.

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but wrong ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others believe that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more:
I’ll never lose weight—I come from a fat family
Wrong! It is true that fatness runs in families and genes (基因) might play a role in it. However, the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.
I am fat because I burn calories (热量) slowly
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people burn more calories that thin people, they fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary on diet can help you find out how many calories you take in every day.
Exercise is boring
Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it again and again. The key is to develop a balanced (平衡的) program of different kinds that’s fun as well as helpful. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, choose a different road. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Yes, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may feel a little uncomfortable as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body getting used to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the pains should be gone very quickly. If you don’t, rest and look for medical advice.

8 . It’s 1:45 A.M., and 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important exam. To stay awake, he is drinking a cup of coffee — one that has two to three times the amount of caffeine as a same sized can of soda. Many students like Murphy, as well as runners, and airline pilots, get energy from one of humankind’s oldest stimulants: caffeine.
Caffeine is in many foods or drinks, but is it really good for us? Charles Czeisler, a sleep expert, believes that caffeine causes us to lose sleep. We consume caffeine to stay awake, which later makes it impossible to get the rest we need, says Charles.
Health risks have also been connected to caffeine consumption. Over the years, people have believed caffeine consumption could cause certain kinds of cancer and bone illness. But no studies show that caffeine causes these illnesses.
Roland Griffiths, a professor, believes that using caffeine too often causes physical dependence. He says, “Heavy caffeine users’ motive change from high to low, or they feel tired or sad when they can’t have a coffee, a cup of tea. To stop these feelings, users must consume caffeine.”
Although there are these worries, caffeine is not dangerous when consumed properly. Actually, a lot of research suggests that it has health advantages. For example, studies show that caffeine can help lessen muscle pain. As a stimulant, caffeine can help improve one’s mood. Research has also shown that some caffeinated drinks — certain teas — have illness-fighting chemicals that can help the body fight many illness-fighting chemicals that can help the body fight many illnesses.
What’s more, caffeine increases alertness, memory, and reaction speed. Because it fights tiredness, it helps people do better while driving, flying, and studying. And while it is true that caffeine can increase blood pressure, the effect doesn’t last long, so it won’t cause heart trouble. Moreover, although it’s used all over the world, caffeine has hardly been overused. “With caffeine, overuse will stop itself,” says Jack Bergman, a specialist at Harvard Medical School. “If you consume too much, you get... uncomfortable, and you don’t want to continue.”
Caffeine effects are real, but most often not serious. Whether it’s a student drinking coffee before class or a businessperson enjoying tea with lunch, humankind’s favourite stimulant is at work every day, all over the world.

10 . Parents ask us not to drink water during dinner, because it may make our body sick. However, some researchers think differently.
“If you drink a full cup of water, you can still digest the delicious food well.” said Deborah B. Proctor. According to her book called The Medical Assistant, it takes only a few minutes to digest water. It’s too short to make any difference.
Drinking water does good to our health. We should drink water when we are thirsty. It is our body’s need. It may be in the middle of the meal. Our body asks for some water when the food is oily, or too salty. Don’t refuse just because we don’t know anything right about drinking water.
Even if we would like to drink water, make sure we know how to do it right. The water should be at the room temperature. Cold water is bad for our health. Moreover, don’t take too much water when you’re thirsty. Drinking water makes you feel full. When a feeling of fullness comes, make sure if you take enough food to make your body healthy.
