1 . ① Some people decide to stop eating meat and begin to accept a vegan (素食) diet because of health reasons. This way of eating avoids all animal products, including meat, fish, milk, eggs and even honey.
② Making the change can be a challenge for people who often have dairy and meat in their diet, according to Dena Champion, a dietitian, an expert on diet and nutrition (营养学), from Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She added that starting a vegan diet could change your body in certain ways. It might even offer some health benefits.
③ Reduced body weight. Instead of high-fat proteins (高脂肪蛋白) like bacon and beef, vegans get their protein from plant-based sources such as tofu, beans, soy milk, and so on. “This can lead to losing weight. Considering that two-thirds of Americans are overweight, this can have a positive effect on body shape and health”, says Kailey Proctor, a dietitian at St. Joseph Hospital in California.
④ Improved blood sugar control. Because being overweight is a major risk for developing diabetes (糖尿病), losing weight can lower that risk. There was one study from some experts published in the magazine Nutrients in 2018. The experts chose some overweight people with no history of diabetes to switch to a vegan diet. Then they followed them for 16 weeks. Improvements and better effects are seen in those people in controlling blood sugar levels.
⑤ Reduced cancer risk. There’s also the chance to reduce your risk of developing cancer. “Vegan diets, when planned correctly, are also very high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These plant-based foods have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer.” says Proctor. We should always focus on consuming whole, fresh foods as much as possible. It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients for your health.

2 . Nowadays, people always make resolutions (下决心) to give up sugar, but they always end up with failure. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it?
Many sugar cravings (渴求) come from a blood sugar imbalance (血糖失衡). When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body let insulin (胰岛素) out to lower it to a safer level. But if the insulin brings your blood sugar level too low, your body will want more food to raise it and increase your energy. You are on a blood sugar roller coaster (过山车) that is hard to get off.
Some sugar cravings are from your brain as a result of lifestyle. Always being stressed is like begging for trouble. For example, if you are too stressed, you will be thirsty for sugar to cheer yourself up. Besides, poor sleep can also lead to overeating sugar, because you need energy to free yourself from tiredness.
Sometimes we experience cravings that are nothing but a habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even you are not hungry at all. Or you may have spent years eating sweet food like chocolate or ice cream to reduce sadness.
The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released (释放). Healthy fats and protein (蛋白质) are good choices. Eating plenty of healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil, can help your body get its energy elsewhere. Protein helps you feel satisfied, which can cut down hunger. When you feel energized and full, you may not want more food with high sugar. Making a plan to change your life into a healthy one also helps.
You may find it is hard to give up sugar totally. But once you start to deal with it, you may find yourself more energetic and can enjoy a smoother ride on a flat road. So, hopefully, you can beat sugar and have a healthy life.

5 . My name is Dave. I’m from the UK and now I’m in China with my parents.
In the UK, students like going to the fast food restaurants (餐馆) with their friends. They can eat hamburgers and ice-cream there. Their favorite food is ice-cream. But fast food isn’t good for students’ health. For me, I don’t like fast food because I don’t want to be fat.

6 . Do you have good teeth? We brush our teeth to keep them clean and healthy. In fact, having good eating habits is also helpful for the health of our teeth!
Eating too many sweets is the worst thing you can do to your teeth. When you eat candies, for example, the bacteria (细菌) in your mouth will produce some acids. These acids can damage your teeth and the tooth problems would appear. You can try eating sugar-free things instead of sugary ones. Chewing (咀嚼) xylitol gum, for example, can help reduce the bacteria in your mouth.
More or less, eating leaves food debris on your teeth. If you chew more while eating, the friction between your mouth and tongue will help you to better clear out the food debris. People often chew more when they eat high-fiber (高纤维的) foods, such as cabbage. When they eat low-fiber foods, such as white bread, they chew fewer times. Therefore, it’s a good idea to eat more high-fiber foods.
You may think it’s okay to eat ice cubes (冰块) because they’re just water. ▲ These cracks (裂缝) can then weaken (弱化) your teeth. While it may feel good to break up ice cubes with your teeth, it’s better to let them melt in your drink.
All in all, in order to have a brighter smile, you should improve your eating habits as well as brush your teeth twice a day. Also remember to floss (用牙线洁牙) and make sure to visit your dentist often!
