1 . Have you ever bought Genki Forest（元气森林）sparkling water because it’s advertised as “sugar-free? It’s popular among students. The company recently apologized for a misleading advertisement.
The company said the drinks are “sucrose-free”（零蔗糖）, but this is not the same as “sugar-free”. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles.
In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar, such as fructose（果糖）（糖醇）, are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar are used as sweetener（甜味剂）. They offer little energy, but also avoid taking in too much sugar.
However, studies find that the sweeteners might make people eat more. When you eat sweet-tasting things, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”! Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food.
According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to obesity（肥胖）and type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. It’s time for you to think twice about the diet drink trend.

3 . Do you have trouble remembering where you put your erasers? Doing puzzles may help keep your mind sharp, but diet can make a big difference too.
According to many studies, some foods may help to improve your memory. Why not try them?
Scientists have found that sufficient (足够的) amounts of vitamin B2 can improve your memory. It’s found in common things like milk and dark green vegetables.  | You can add a banana to your breakfast. It will be easier for you to focus on what the teachers say.  | Studies have shown that eating fish once a week produces a 10 percent slower decline (衰退) in memory.  |
Try a cup of tea. Not only does it keep your brain working right, it also helps to relax and fight against mental tiredness.  | We know that eggs are full of vitamin B12 which helps to fight against brain shrinkage (收缩).  | To improve your intake of zinc, you can eat more whole grains. Whole grains help your brain work well.  |
If you’re really serious about improving your memory, don’t forget to make time for a good breakfast. A study found breakfast helped people score better on memory tests. And when kids eat a morning meal, their exam scores improve. “You are what you eat.” A well-balanced diet is of course great for your bodies. What’s more, junk foods like cola, fried chips and candies are bad for your health and memory. You should try to keep away from them.

4 . While many people think of the vegetarian diet (素食) as one of the best ways to lose weight, scientists point out that a vegan diet is more effective for weight loss. A vegan diet is a diet that avoids animal products. It is stricter than a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians give up eating meat, while in a vegan type of diet, people give up not only meat, but all other animal products, including milk and eggs.
People choose to follow a vegan diet for various reasons. Some people choose it for better health. They believe that animal-based food, like red meat, is a main reason for many types of health problems. Plant-based food, however, is usually low in calories and fat, and it might prevent a few illnesses. Others pick up a vegan lifestyle because it’s better for the environment. Meat-based diets use more resources, including land, water, and energy, to produce food, while vegan diets require less farm land.
You may ask if this kind of diet can provide enough protein to keep the body healthy. Some nutritionists (营养学家) explain plant proteins can give enough energy humans need in daily life. Some of them even believe foods should be eaten without being cooked. In this way, helpful nutritions can be kept better. That makes a vegan diet a healthier lifestyle. Nutritionists also state that whichever diet one may follow, it’s important to make sure that it contains all the nutritions the body needs. Still, understanding the effects of vegan diets on health remains challenging, because research on this eating style is often put together with vegetarian or plant-based diets.
The vegan style can be difficult in practice unless people are well prepared to follow this lifestyle. It may not suit everyone as people are in different health conditions. So learn about your body well before you make any decision. In this way, you will make the best choice for yourself.

7 . During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐).
Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. TCM helps to do that Quit especially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.
For example, it is common to eat on the way to school at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”
Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

People love to share things on social media (媒体) like Weibo and WeChat. They show oflf things like foods and drinks. Stars have many social media followers. Many of them build ads into their posts (帖子). So do other famous people.
Nancy, a 17-year-old teenager did a study into social media ads. She wanted to see if people share unhealthy foods and drinks. Nancy made a list of famous people on social media first. She picked 100 actors, 100 singers and 100 influencers (网红). She looked for posts about foods and drinks. Then, she gave a grade for each of them. The grade showed how nutritious the food or drink was.
Nancy found that influencers shared the most foods and drinks by far. They also shared the most sweets which had an unhealthy grade. Nancy was surprised. She thought influencers would share healthier things. Fruits, vegetables and water were least shared by all three groups. Influencers often shared soft drinks. So did the singers.
Influencers are often friendly and seem close to us. So young people are more likely to believe them. Many users are under 18 years old. “They should be kept away from unhealthy ads,” Nancy says.“There should be new rules.” Nancy has unfollowed some people. They were pushing unhealthy habits. Users need to choose who they follow in a smart way.

9 . One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals. In this lab, the scientists are studying the relationship between diet and health. They are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy food. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group is eating three cups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are little thinner. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running and playing with one another. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.
The second group of mice is receiving more than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating and sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists though about a year and a half. But they are not healthy. They are sick more often than the other two groups.

10 . If you go to a fast-food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eating unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a right meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over 2/3 of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and they didn’t like to eat fruit. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血压）in the future.
★ Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.
★ Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.
