31、thy foods and trying to eat fresh food as much as possible. Check and revise After noting down what I have eaten over the last three days, I can see lots of healthy and nutritious things on the list, such as fish, eggs, fruit, and salad. Put simply, most of my diet contains food that is good for my
32、body. The fruit and vegetables that I eat are full of vitamins and minerals. And they contain much more nutrition than processed foods. Fresh food is also lower in sugar, salt, and fat. Check and revise However, I do have some bad eating habits. There are some foods that I should not eat too much of
33、. For example, rice and bread are healthy, but eating too much can create too much unused energy and cause you to gain weight and feel tired. I also really like eating pre-made steamed buns and tomato soup from the store, but I now know they contain far too much sugar, salt, and fat Check and revise
34、 Also, some types of meat contain a lot of fat, so I should be careful with how much I consume. The same goes for the pancakes I buy on the street. They are delicious, but they are by no means healthy, and I should be careful with how often I consume them. Check and revise In addition to the above,
35、I also sometimes find myself too busy and forget to eat. I also have a hard time refusing sweets from others, even though I know they are bad for me. Check and revise I should improve my bad eating habits by always taking the time to eat, even if Im busy. I should have set times every day when I sto
36、p working and just eat. I could prepare some healthy dishes in advance that I can eat when Im too busy, because this will give me more control over the sorts of things I eat. I should also avoid eating in front of the TV, as it is too easy to eat too much that way. And, of course, I also need to say
37、 no to sweets! Check and revise After reading the article entitled “Healthy Eating”, I now better understand how to eat more healthily and improve my food choices. I hope to follow a balanced diet, without too much or too little of any one thing. I think this is a key tip for healthy eating. And I think healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude. It is up to me to make the right decisions about my diet, and I have decided to be healthier and happier. Homework Revise your essay.
