Unit 1. How to have a healthy diet with a busy schedule
So the next step is to go ahead and come up with a plan on how you’re going to eat
healthy.
You are a busy person, in your school, you have to plan how to get your homework done,
you’re a busy mum, and you’re busy father, you have to plan how to take care your children,
it’s the same with your diet. You have to put a plan into place.
So how do you do that is you make these foods variably available for you. So let’s say you
have consultation with your dietician and your dietician tells you that you need to eat two
fruits a day along with other, a variety of foods. But what we are going to go ahead and talk
about the fruit curve right now.
So what you want to when you go to the grocery store is to go ahead and buy all the fruit
that you need for that week, and that way, you can challenge yourself to try to get those
two pieces of fruit in every day.
These kinds of foods, the deserts and the salty they are great to have in your pantry, but if
you don’t have a plan you might go ahead and resort to these quick convenient foods when
you’re really hungry. But if you come up with the plan and have something like this meal
already in the refrigerator, maybe you prepare it the night before and go ahead with the
batch cooking and decided that you would eat it again, then you would have a nice healthy
meal for the next day.
Water is another important thing that people just don’t think about. So if you need eight
glasses of water a day, keep a cup by your bathroom and sink, and in the morning drink one
glass before you, when you wake up, and before you go to bed at night drink another glass
and enjoy/during the day, find a bottle like this which contains six, eight glasses of water.
And if you drink this throughout the day then you’ve got your eight glasses throughout the
day. And that’s the way you want to plan to be healthy.
Unit 2. Teen addiction: prevent alcohol and drug abuse
Lady:
The teen years are the time of newfound independence, as kids begin to become
adults, venturing out into the world, making their own decisions. It’s also the time many will
experiment with drugs and alcohol.
Dr. Jeff Gardere:
Experimenting with drugs and alcohol is nothing new for teens. Consider
the statistics: by the age of fourteen, forty-one per cent of kids would have at least one
drink. The average American boy would take as first sip of alcohol when he is eleven, while
American girls try a little later, by the age of thirteen.
