4 . If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many young kids are overweight, and this may be 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 (超出) fast food. Many teenagers find it difficult to eat healthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a survey at one school, scientists found that over 60% of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. Nearly half of the students didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. 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 (导致) high blood pressure in the future.

Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits 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.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. It is good for their body and minds.

6 . Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice (建议) about healthy eating.

Eat with other people. 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 good and delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water. Sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important (重要的) meal of the day. If you don’t have the habit of eating breakfast, you’ll be tired easily.

Eat healthy snacks (零食) 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 an ice cream for a meal.

Don’t eat dinner late. Eat dinner at least (至少) 3 hours before you go to bed.

7 . Jack’s friend Sally isn’t fine these days.

One day she asks Jack for help. And she tells (告诉) Jack about her eating habits. For breakfast, she always eats some bread. For lunch, she always has some chicken. She likes eating ice­-cream and a hamburger in the evening.

“They’re not healthy for you, Sally,” Jack says.

“I know, but I like them,” Sally says.

“What about vegetables? Do you like eating carrots?” Jack asks.

“No, I don’t,” Sally says.

“Sally, don’t eat ice­-cream. You must eat some vegetables and fruit. They are good for you,” Jack says.

“I think you’re right,” Sally says.

In the next days, Sally always eats vegetables and fruit. And she is well now.

9 . Walk 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)?

A 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.

According 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.

To 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.

By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods 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.

Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits (益处) 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.

Speaking 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.”

10 . If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers (青少年). Today, many teenagers are becoming fat, and 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 don’t have a good eating habit. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a healthy meal for lunch. In a recent survey (调查) at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t like a healthy diet (饮食). They didn’t like vegetables and many of them didn’t like fruits. They liked to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat better.

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 (骨骼) grow.

Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day. This is good for their bodies and mind.
