ACTIVITY N°42 Healthy
Our Health " Eating the Best Lifestyle READING
PURPOSE: To identify relevant and complementary information from the text and promote good eating
habits to change the lifestyle using simple present.
Activity 1.- Read the article.
Healthy Eating
Food keeps us healthy and help us grow. Food provides us with energy to be able to function throughout the day. By
eating a balanced diet, your body obtains the fuel and nutrients it needs to function properly. Your body needs minerals to
make hormones, build bones and regulate your heartbeat. Water flushes out toxins, transports nutrients to cells and
performs other vital bodily processes.
Carbohydrates
Bread, rice and potatoes are examples of carbohydrate rich foods. These foods give us plenty of energy. You should try
and eat a lot of carbohydrates each day. As well as energy, carbohydrates provide us with fibre, iron, B Vitamins and
calcium.
Fruit and Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables provide us with vitamins and minerals essential for keeping us healthy as well as fibre which is
important for digestion. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Try to eat
at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Remember that potatoes do not count as a portion of vegetables
Dairy
1. Dairy products are great sources of protein and calcium and are found in milk, cheese and
yogurt. Protein helps our bodies to grow or repair themselves. Protein builds, maintains, and replaces the tissues in your
body. Your muscles, organs, and immune system are made up mostly of protein. Calcium helps to keep our bones and
teeth strong. We should eat between two or three portions of dairy foods a day.
Meat, Fish, Eggs and Beans
These foods are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet. These foods help the body to grow and repair
itself and keep hair, skin, muscles and nails strong. We should eat some of these foods a day.
Foods High in Fats and Sugar
These foods provide the body with energy, warmth and insulation around vital organs. Too much fat in your diet can raise
cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart disease. A small amount of fat is part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a
source of essential fatty acids such as omega-3 because the body can’t make them itself. Fat helps the body absorb
vitamins A, D and E. To be healthy, nutritious food is needed to provide energy for the body. A variety
of food is needed in the diet because different foods contain different substances that are needed to keep you healthy.
Activity 2.- Answer the following questions;

a- Why is a balanced diet important
A balanced diet is important because it provides the body with the necessary fuel and nutrients to function
properly. It helps the body make hormones, build bones, regulate the heartbeat, and flush out toxins, ensuring
overall health and growth.
b- What is the function of protein?
The function of protein is to help our bodies grow, repair tissues, and maintain muscles, organs, and the
immune system. Protein builds, maintains, and replaces the tissues in the body.
c- Can you give examples of foods that we should try and avoid eating excessive amounts of?
Why should we limit our intake of these foods?
We should try to avoid eating excessive amounts of foods high in fats and sugars, such as cakes, fried foods,
and sweets. These foods can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. Although fats are
necessary for energy, warmth, and vitamin absorption, too much can be harmful to our health.
