●sugar-sweetened drinks, especially sodas, energy drinks, coffee and tea, and juices with added sugars

8 . Rice and wheat (小麦) are important in our life. We eat them a lot. But do you know how they influence our health? A study has offered an answer.
In the study, researchers interviewed more than 100,000 people from Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang in northwest China. The participants (参加者) were between the ages of 35 and 74. They provided information about their medical records and lifestyles, such as the smoking habit and physical activity.
The researchers divided the participants into three groups according to how often they eat rice and wheat each week. The first group eat rice either daily or four to six times a week, and eat wheat less. The second group prefer wheat, and the third group eat both rice and wheat with similar frequency (频率). They found rice lovers may have a lower risk of obesity (肥胖), while for wheat lovers, the risk is higher.
Then the researchers looked at whether a change in eating habits would make any difference. They asked wheat lovers to start eating rice five times a week. The participants with normal weight showed a 36.5 percent lower risk of obesity in men and a 20.5 percent lower risk of central obesity (stomach fat) in women.
According to the researchers, wheat takes in less water than rice when cooked and has higher energy than cooked rice of the same weight. Moreover, rice often comes with fresh vegetables, meat and fish. But wheat lovers in northwest China usually eat a large bowl of noodles with little vegetables or meat, and sometimes even with a lot of oil. So which do you prefer, rice or wheat?

9 . 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.
