Eating Healthy
We live in a world where people are always in a hurry and don’t have enough time to eat healthy. Eating in a hurry can be harmful for the body. Buying every desired product is also risky. There are lots of products today which are genetically modified. It means that they weren’t grown in their natural environment and conditions. If we want to follow a healthy diet, we should avoid such products. Eating healthy is very important for every person. Wise people say, “Health is above wealth”. And, indeed, what can we do properly if we don’t eat. It is our natural source of energy, so it’s better to chose it carefully. For example, our body needs more vitamins and minerals but it doesn’t need much cholesterol. That’s why, it’s better to avoid using fat-containing products. We also need less sodium, which is found in salt and less sugar. I now try to eat less sweets and cakes. First of all, it can make me overweight. Secondly, it’s not good for health. Eating lots of vegetables and fruit is healthy. Other healthy and nutritious products include fish, seafood, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk products, lean meat, eggs, beans, seeds and nuts. However, a lot depends on every person’s body and its needs. For example, some people are highly allergic to nuts. In this case they need to cut this product out of their daily diet. Another problem is the increasing number of fast-food chains. People want to eat quickly but they don’t realize that fast-food is unhealthy. The regime of eating is also important. It means we need to eat at certain hours during the day. For example, breakfast at 8 am, lunch at 1 pm, snack at 4 pm and dinner at 6 pm. Along with eating healthy, we should try to keep fit by doing exercise, cycling, spending less time in front of the TV and not smoking.

 

Long, long ago, in the days when magic was still in some use, an old Wicked Witch put a King's son under a spell.

She shut him in a great iron Chest.

Then, with the help of her magic she hid the prince, Chest, and all in the middle of a lonely forest.

Noone knew what became of the Prince.

The Prince's father sent his men far and wide, but they could not find him.

Year after year the Chest stood there in the great wild forest.

It so happened that a King's daughter had lost her way in that forest.

She had been walking for nine days and suddenly she saw some strange Chest standing in front of her.

She also heard the Chest speaking.

The Chest wanted to know where the girl had come from and where was she going.

She answered she had lost her way.

The voice from the chest said it would help the girl if she promised to come back and marry him.

She agreed.
