Exercise 3. Read and answer the questions.

HEALTHY DIET

      There are two important matters in eating. First is eating enough food. If people eat too little food or wrong food, they will not have enough energy. If they eat too much, they are easy to get overweight. Secondly is eating right food. It means we need to eat correct quantity of each type of food. For example, it is not good to eat too much food in high-calories group and too little fresh and vegetable. So, how do we have a right and balance diet?

      Firstly, we need to reduce the amount of high-calories food. Fat in that type of food may lead you to heart disease.

      Secondly, you also should not eat too much sugar. You can completely get energy from other food. Eating sugar is bad for your teeth.

      Thirdly, it is good to have a rich-fibre diet. We can find fibre from rice, bread, etc. It is nutrients. It can give you lots of energy, but it does not contain much calories, so you are not afraid of getting overweight when you eat much fibre.
