3 . In school, we are told to drink water between classes. Our parents ask us to bring our water bottles to school and we’re reminded by experts that water is good for our skin and helps control our weight. But how much should we actually be drinking?

For many years, people have followed the advice of drinking eight glasses of water, eight times a day, known as the “8×8 rule”. According to Jessica Brown, this seems to have partly come from a misunderstanding of old advice that was published almost 80 years ago. In 1945, a study advised drinking one millilitre (毫升) of liquid for each calorie (卡路里) of food. This is about two litres of water a day, or eight glasses per person. But, Jessica says, the reality is that different people have different needs. Weight, age and activity level all play a role in how much water someone should drink.

Then do we need to control how much water we drink? It’s not that important, according to Dr. Stanley Goldfarb from the University of Pennsylvania. He says our bodies are good at telling us when we need water. When we are thirsty, it means our bodies need more water. Our kidneys (肾脏) help us keep the water we have, even before we feel thirsty.

There are, of course, benefits to drinking water. It helps our bodies stay at the right temperature. It helps us keep away bad things in our bodies. It helps us digest (消化) food. It protects our joints (关节).

So, next time you feel thirsty, reach for a glass of water. But don’t worry if you don’t drink exactly eight glasses a day. Your body knows what it needs.

Nutritional grade labels (营养等级标签) A, B, C, or D on packaging are used to mark the percentage of sugar (含糖量) and saturated fat (饱和脂肪) in the drinks. The labels are from A to D. The more sugar and saturated fat a drink has, the less healthy the drink is.

5 . For most of us, it takes a long time to learn how to make something tasty. But not for Remmi Smith, still a teenager, she’s already creating fantastic dishes. She’s also becoming well known for her Italian salad dressing, which is delicious. And with her knowledge of social media (媒体), she’s making sure that everyone knows she’s here!

Remmi, who was born in China, now lives in the USA. She is just 16. She has already starred in two shows on cooking and her book of healthy recipes (食谱) has recently come out. From the age of four, Remmi helped in the kitchen by preparing vegetables. By the age of seven, Remmi was a real food love r who could cook complete meals for her family. Remmi began making videos for fun. Her mother videoed her while she was cooking and put the videos online. A local TV station broadcast (播放) them. They then asked Remmi to create another show.

That show is mainly about Remmi’s interest, which is getting teenagers to take healthy eating seriously. She believes that when young people make their own food, they care more about what they eat. Remmi works with a company in the USA which shows her videos in school dining halls. About 3.5 million students watch her every day!

Remmi believes that young people can create a healthy meal for their family which doesn’t cost a lot. Her delicious recipes include vegetable paella and strawberry kebabs. In fact, strawberries, which are Remmi’s favorite food, appear in other recipes, including strawberry sandwich!

Her latest idea is a healthy-snack service. For a monthly subscription (订购), you receive snacks, which include fruit sticks and popcorn, and fun cooking activities that help you develop a healthy lifestyle.

7 . There are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. Studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken can cause health problems.

However, fast food restaurants are still attractive. The most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff are friendly and very smart-looking in their tidy and bright uniforms. Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people often pass by. It is so easy to just grab a burger and eat on the way to work.

Fast food is often so conveniently packed that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads have made them the coolest places, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.

Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast-food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food? As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date sooner or later.

Therefore, instead of saying no to fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade them to change their men. If they could join healthy food together with their speed of service and delicious tastes, that will be the next best thing on Earth for people!

10 . Snack Rules

Probably you grew up with a stop-snacking mom. That is a mom who tells her kids that snacks are bad. They will make you fat. They will hurt your teeth.

Well, Mom may be right about most things, but she isn’t right about all snacks. There is actually a healthy way to snack.     1     The right snacks can keep you from eating too much at dinner and keep you from getting fat.

The first rule about snacking is to make your own.     2     Most of those snacks have too much sugar and salt in them.

    3     Things like bread and crackers are processed quickly by your body. Have some cheese or yogurt to go along with some bread, and you’ve got a winning snack.

The third rule about snacking is to remember water. Especially when you are working, it is easy to mistake being tired for being hungry.     4     Your body might just be trying to tell you to drink some water. Have a bottle of water before you pull out another snack. That might be all you really need.

With one or two snack breaks during your day, you will probably find that you eat less at lunch and dinner. Smaller meals will help you cut down the amount of food you eat during your day. And eating less is a great way to start losing weight.
