Healthy Eating
One of the0biggest problems facing doctors today is the fact that people are eating1_______________
much food and the wrong type of food. Many people in developed societies are2_______________ , some
dangerously so. It’s a good idea to be aware of what you put into your mouth from a very early age. Healthy eating is important if you want to live a long life and avoid getting some serious3_______________ . The
first step to a healthy4_______________ is to start thinking about water and exercise as types of food. If we
don’t drink5_______________ water to clear out the waste products, we can suffer from tiredness,
headaches and low energy. And we need to exercise to use up all the energy we are storing by eating our food.
Fruit and vegetables are the basis of any healthy diet because they have few6_______________ but are full
of vitamins and7_______________ . The most colourful fruit and vegetables have the highest levels of
important nutrients. Green vegetables, for example, are full of8_______________ (also found in dairy
products), magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc and vitamins A, C, E and K. We also need9_______________
to provide energy. The best sources are beans, fruit, vegetables and whole grains, but try to avoid white flour, refined sugar and white rice, which are not good for you. We also need to eat fats and there are some good and some bad fats. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids found in fish like10_______________ , herring,
mackerel and sardines are very good for our brains.
