HEALTHY EATING
There is much debate nowadays as to ①what makes up a healthy diet.For example,scientists have insisted for years ①that a big enemy of health is fatty food.However,there is increasing evidence ①that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food,as it is sugar.Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans.And in America,people ②who receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from

heart disease than people ②who receive less than 10% a day (Journal of the American Medical Association,2014).This is true regardless of ①how healthy the rest of their diet might be.Put more simply,③while people continue to argue over ①whether or not fatty food is dangerous,we already know ①that sugar is a killer.
Much of this extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.The average American gets 1/3 of his or her sugar through sweet drinks alone.The American Heart Association recommends ①that we limit ourselves to less than 100—150 calories a day from sugar,②which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar.In other words,③if you want to be healthy,you have to cut down on desserts,and cut out sweet drinks altogether.
Beyond this,you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods,especially fruit and vegetables,②which are full of vitamins and fibre,rather than processed foods.Processed foods often contain less nutrition,and have higher quantities of sugar,salt,and fat than fresh ingredients.Besides this,④it is also important to have some meat,beans,or dairy products in your diet,③as they provide the necessary protein for strong bones and muscle growth.As with everything in life,moderation is key.The ideal diet is a balanced one,without too much or too little of any one thing.
Finally,a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly.④It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body ①that you are full.①What this means is ①that people ②who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry.Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better,and will allow you to enjoy your food more.In addition,studies show ①that consistent eating habits,for example,taking three meals a day at the same time each day,are better for our health.④It is also better to eat a modest amount of food each time,rather than to eat a lot in one meal,and then a little in the next.
There is no one trick to healthy eating.Rather,healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude towards food.One question you can ask yourself is,“Do I eat to live,or live to eat?” ③If you are using food mostly

for nutrition,then you are on the right track with your diet.However,③if food has become the centre of your life,you might be on the road to bad health.④It is up to you to decide ①how you want to live,and to make the right decisions about your diet.
