Eating Habits - Countables and Uncountables
"
There's more truth to this saying than
we think. What you eat and
drink and what you don't eat and drink
can definitely make a difference to your health.
Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day and less saturated fat can help improve
your health and may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Have a
balanced diet, and watch how much you eat.
Many people eat carefully and exercise religiously out of fear of getting fat. They're afraid if they eat fat, they'll
get fat, and/or if they don't exercise, they'll get fat. Although both fears have a foundation of truth, keep in mind
there are many thin ( not fat) people who eat fatty foods and do not exercise. They simply don't overeat.
