How many of us think we know what is good and what is bad for
us? How much do we really know?
Coffee can make us feel anxious and keep us awake at night but is it bad
for us? Experts say that coffee isn’t bad for us and that a little coffee is
actually good for us. One or two cups of coffee a day can help to protect us
against some deseases. But coffee with a lot of cream and three spoonfuls of
sugar is not a good idea! Chocolate has a lot of sugar and fat in it but is it
always unhealthy? No some chocolate can be healthy. Dark chocolate
contains vitamins that are good for our health and can help us feel good.
Experts say that one or two squares from a bar of dark chocolate a day is
OK. Remember, not all chocolate is the same, white and milk chocolate are
not healthy choices.
Fat is always bad for us. Wrong! We need animal and vegetable fats. They
give us energy and help our bodies to absorb vitamins A, D, E and K. A
healty person gets about 30 per cent of their calories from fat,, but our
bodies can store fat so don’t eat a lot. Don’t put a bottle of salad dressing
on your lettuce or half a tub of margarine on your bread!
In conclusion then, is there any food that is really
unhealthy? Experts say that all food has some
nutritional value, we just need to regulate the
quantities that we eat – a little bad food, can
actually do us good!
