HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY FOOD
Healthy food is good food that has all the essential nutrients and elements for our bodies to stay healthy. If we do not have enough essential nutrients, it may lead to poor health and diseases. Healthy food contains all the vital vitamins and minerals. The examples of healthy food are vegetables and fruits, yogurt, meat, fish and eggs, nuts and berries.
Unhealthy food (it can be also called "junk food") has only one thing about it – it is its taste. The taste is created using many artificial things such as excess fat, simple carbohydrates, and processed sugar. These foods are often high in calories but they have little or no nutritional value. Eating this kind of food can lead to poor nutrition, poor health, and weight gain. And if a person is overweight, he or she might have health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes.
As you see, we need to avoid eating unhealthy food and remember to drink plenty of water.
Здоровая и нездоровая пища
Здоровая пища - это полезная пища, в которой есть все необходимые питательные вещества и элементы для нашего организма, чтобы он оставался здоровым. Если нам не хватает необходимых питательных веществ, это может привести к ухудшению здоровья и болезням. Здоровая пища содержит все жизненно важные витамины и минералы. Примерами здоровой пищи являются овощи и фрукты, йогурт, мясо, рыба и яйца, орехи и ягоды.
Нездоровая пища ("вредная еда") имеет только одно достоинство - вкус. Вкус создается с использованием многих искусственных веществ, таких как жиры, простые углеводы и обработанный сахар. Эти продукты часто содержат много калорий, но имеют небольшую пищевую ценность или не имеют ее вообще. Употребление такой пищи может привести к неполноценному питанию, ухудшению здоровья и увеличению веса. А если у человека избыточный вес, то у него могут возникнуть проблемы со здоровьем, такие как болезни сердца и диабет.
Как видите, мы должны избегать употребления нездоровой пищи и не забывать пить много воды.
