1 . What’s the best thing to eat on a hot summer day? Quite a few people will say it is ice-cream. Yes, eating ice-cream with some fruit is a good way to cool down. But think before you eat. If you feel hot from playing sports, it's not the best time to eat ice-cream. If you eat ice-cream when you feel hot, it may give your stomach some problems, and you may get diarrhoea (腹泻). You can eat some ice-cream after you cool down. Just try not to eat too much at a time!
People shouldn’t eat or drink anything cold just after dinner. If you want to stay cool and healthy, oranges, bananas and pears can help.
In summer, germs (细菌) grow very fast and food goes bad easily. You should eat clean and fresh food. When you want to eat a cold dish, put in some vinegar (醋) to disinfect (杀菌) it. If you can’t finish your food and want to eat it again the next day, you should heat it enough to kill the germs in it before you eat it.

2 . In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner—a hot cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch (自带午餐) with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as vegetable soups and curries (咖喱) for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a student, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where we got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”

3 . China has fewer very overweight people compared to many other countries worldwide. The reason behind this is the traditional Chinese diet which is known for its health benefits. Let’s explore what makes the Chinese diet so good for health.
A traditional Chinese diet is heavy on vegetables. The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans. These vegetables are good for the body and can even help in fighting cancer. Moreover, vegetables are low in calories (卡路里). That means they are one of the best choices for managing the calories you take in at a meal.
Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert. Sometimes, at the end of a Chinese meal, a sweet soup, like red bean or tofu soup, may be served. However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar.
The choice of drinks also plays a role in weight control. In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular. However, in China, people have been drinking tea for more than 3,000 years, and they usually enjoy it all day long. Drinking tea can help burn extra (多余的) calories and can also provide protection against certain diseases.
Additionally, the Chinese don’t eat as much fast food as people in some other countries. This results in a lower intake of fat. In countries like America, the serving sizes in restaurants are usually larger than usual. This leads to people eating far more calories than they need. In China, however, people usually eat smaller-sized dishes, which are often shared with others.
All these points add up to the traditional Chinese diet being a healthy one. Lots of fresh vegetables, fewer desserts, a love for tea, and smaller-sized dishes all help people to stay slim and healthy.

Don’t drink too much water at once, because it’s bad for your stomach. It shows you drink enough when you feel full. Mr. King |
When you cough, you can’t eat or drink something sweet like sweet milk, cakes and sugar. You should eat something light such as vegetables and fruit, and drink hot water. Don’t eat peppers. You can’t drink or eat something cold, either. They’ll make you cough worse. Drinking some hot pear water is a good way to keep you off cough. Mr. Green |
If you have a stomachache, you can’t drink wine (酒) or eat peppers. You can’t drink thick (浓的) tea, coffee and something too cold or hot. You can eat porridge or noodles and drink soup.

7 . Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. How to decide whether a product is green? Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus. Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.
Packaging is important. We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location (地点) matters. Think about how much energy was used to get it. To us, try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmer, shop at markets and buy fruits in season.
Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt.
Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.

8 . About 80% of people do not get enough vitamin (维生素) D every day. But this vitamin is very important for your health.
Vitamin D is really important for our bones (骨骼). When we are young, vitamin D builds up our bones and makes them strong. When we are older, we still need vitamin D to keep our bones strong. Our bodies keep the vitamin D in our bones and teeth. Then we lose vitamin D as we work and exercise during the day. But our bodies can’t make vitamin D. So we have to get it from outside of our bodies.
Where can a person get this very important vitamin? Vitamin D is in foods like fish and eggs. Sometimes, vitamin D is added to bread, milk, and orange juice. Food is not the only way our bodies can get vitamin D. The sun also gives us vitamin D. If we want to be healthy, we should spend some time in the sun each day. Too much sun is not good for you, but about 15 minutes a day is usually enough. And we should be sure to eat foods that are rich in vitamin D, too.
