1 . We always discuss about health, especially for kids. But what is health? “Health” means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let’s read the following rules. They can help us stay healthy.
Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruit and vegetables.
Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, we should drink at least three cups of milk (1,300 milligrams of calcium) when we are 9 years old or older. We should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and coca. They include a lot of added sugar. Sugar just adds calories (卡路里), not important nutrition.
Listen to our body. When we are eating, notice how our bodies feel. When our stomachs feel comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes us feel uncomfortable. If we do it too often, it can make us unhealthy and fat.
Limit screen time. What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time we spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time we spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time we spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

Many parents have to buy candy for their kids under the pressure brought by the kids who may lie on the ground to roll and cry out loudly. Just one candy bar is fine, but if the kids are not careful, they will get themselves in a hole. And the result may not be so sweet as they expect.
Do you know that sugar was used as a kind of medicine at first? Ancient people used honey and sweet fruit to treat digestive disorders (治疗消化不良). Even as late as the 18th century, sugar was still used to help people with some digestive problems.
Generally speaking, it’s OK for us to think that sugar can provide us with good energy (能量). However, this is not true. The so-called “energy” we can feel after having sugar is actually called a sugar rush. The joy caused by that sugar rush doesn’t last very long and usually leaves a person feeling tired afterward.
Eating candy can provide energy for the bacteria (细菌) in the mouth. If you don’t brush your teeth carefully, you may end up with a toothache. Also, sugar sends a message to your brain and body that it is okay to eat or drink more. Not surprisingly, people who have a lot of sugar are most likely to become fat. Sugar can also lead to serious physical problems such as diabetes (糖尿病).
Too much of a good thing can be bad sometimes. Cut down on sugar and you will find yourself feeling better! Just remember, “You are what you eat.”
