A balanced diet
We know that the food we eat affects our whole life. For example, there is sugar in many kinds of food. It adds taste to food. Sugar is not an unhealthy food. We need sugar to live. In moderate amounts, it is good for you. It gives you energy and you feel less hungry.
But we must remember to eat sensibly. We should have a balanced diet. We should:
Eat a moderate amount of fatty food and sugar.
Eat some body-building foods, like meat and dairy products.
Eat plenty of cereals, fruit and vegetables
What does a “balanced diet” mean? It means you eat a variety of foods without eating too much of anything. Moderation is very important. Eat the food you enjoy, but don’t have too much. This will help you stay fit and healthy. Don’t forget about exercise either! We all need exercise. Follow these guidelines and enjoy the food you eat – that is the key to a healthy lifestyle.
