2 . Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it. “A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.”
In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not.
“The best time to exercise is early in the morning.”
No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.
“If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.”
The fact is that you must have some water during breaks(休息时间)when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired.
“Exercising every day is quite important.”
Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for your health. You need to give your body a day of rest.

6 . ①Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon (碳)? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet (日常饮食)?
②A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based (基于植物的) foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.
③According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.
④To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion (一份) of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.
⑤By using this method, the study found that red meat was the most unfriendly food to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane (甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.
⑥Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.
⑦Speaking to the Guardian, Tim Benton of Chatham House said, “If we can give people reasonable official advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place.”

7 . 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 if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
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 chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With 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—10 hours.

9 . Most people know how to keep their body healthy, but not many people think about how to keep their brain (大脑) healthy. Brain health is very important. It can help to make your brain work better and to stay away from some brain problems, such as strokes (中风).
Our reporter Judy is speaking to Dr. Fida Cortez, professor of psychiatry about brain health.
Dr. Cortez: We must eat healthily. One of the best ways for the brain to get energy is from whole grain foods, like bread and rice. They can keep the brain working hard for longer.
Judy: Is fat important? What kind of fat should we eat?
Dr. Cortez: The brain needs fat to work well. Fatty acids (酸) are healthy fats found in fish and nuts. Fat from fast food like hamburgers is not good for the brain; it stops the brain using the fatty acids well.
Judy: People talk about berries a lot. Are they a “super food”?
Dr. Cortez: Yes, berries are very good for the brain. Blueberries, strawberries and blackberries are full of something called antioxidants. They help the brain to stay healthy.
Judy: What about sleep?
Dr. Cortez: Sleep is important. It is difficult for your brain to work well if you haven’t had enough sleep; too much sleep is also bad. It can make you feel tired.
Judy: We know exercise is good for our bodies. Is it good for our brain?
Dr. Cortez: Yes, exercise is another good way to take care of the brain. It makes the blood move to the brain more easily and quickly.
