2. Food in our life

Food is a very important thing in our life. We eat to support our body in good
condition. Food shortage leads to exhaustion of organism together with
mental problems such as depression and apathy.
However, overeating doesn’t bring benefit either. Excess weight can do even
more harm than underweight. The reason of it is that a stout person mainly
takes heavy and greasy food neglecting completely the rules of healthy
nutrition. Overweight people can’t proud themselves on good health. In
general they are prone to different kinds of diseases: from heart and
vascular diseases up to chronic ones.
So, first of all we have to learn the basic rules of healthy eating. It’s very easy.
Food that is rich in calories is allowed only in small quantity. So to speak,
one must know when to spot. Alcohol consumption to excess is also
forbidden.
Then what foodstuff should we buy when shopping? First and foremost dairy
products and vegetables (as well as fruits). In addition we have to consume
greens, cereals (porridges) and boiled meat, particularly chicken-meat.
Moreover, general calorie intake is not less important. For an ordinary person
this number shouldn’t exceed 2000 for females and 2500 for males.
