Food
Food Eating is fun, especially when you are hungry. Most people have a favourite
food. Some people enjoy eating sweet things like chocolate, cake and ice cream.Other
people enjoy savoury foods like cheese and meat. Food helps us to keep warm. It
also gives us the energy to walk talk, run, and the other things we do. Food helps
us to grow and to stay healthy.Some food is grown in this country, for example
potatoes, apples ect. But food can also come from other countries, as oranges,
bananas, olives and ect.Our body needs energy to work, to play, to move and to
talk. We also use some of this energy to keep our bodies warm and we must give
our bodies the right kind of fuel. This is food.In our bodies food is slowly burned.
Scientists call the food which gives our body energy, carbohydrates and fat.Most
of the carbohydrates we eat come from plants. These carbohydrates are mainly starch
and sugar. Cakes, jam, potatoes and bread contain a lot of carbohydrates and they
are foods which give us plenty of energy. Fats give us even more energy. Fats
can come from animals or plants. Margarine, butter and cooking oil are fats.The
body can make its own fats. It does this when we eat more food than we really
need.Then our body stores this extra food as fat. Some of this fat is useful because
it keeps us warm. Some of this can give us energy if we haven´t eaten for
a long time. But when you have too much fat in our body your heart has to do extra
work to allow us to carry this fat around.We also eat proteins when we eat lean
meat, fish, nuts, beans and peas. Proteins help your body to repair damaged parts
and it makes it possible that muscels and bones can grow.Proteins keep our body
strong and give it some energy.All people say you have to eat vitamins when you
are ill. But why? Like minerals salts, vitamins keep us healthy. Our body needs
vitamins in tiny amounts. Some people buy pills or tablets that contain vitamins.
But this isn´t really necessary, because most of us eat vitamins and salts
in (with) food. Vitamins help all parts of the body to work properly and to stay
healthy and some vitamins help keep our eyes ,skin healthy and make our blood
vessels strong. In fresh fruit and green vegetables you can find Vitamin C. This
vitamin keeps our skin and gums healthy. Fish, milk, butter ,cheese, margarine
contain Vitamin D. This is only a vitamin we can make for ourselves when the skin
get enough sunshine. Vitamin D helps your bones to grow stong and hard.Our body
need water as well as solid foods. People have survived for a month or more without
food. But we cannot stay alive without water. A large part of your body is made
up of water. About two-thirds (66 %) as your body is water. We lose water when
we go on the toilett, breath or sweat.Then you feel thirsty. If you want to stay
healthy, you must drink as much water as your body loses. We find water in food
that we eat and in milk that we drink. All other drinks are mostly water but many
drinks that we buy in bottles or cans are just water with a little sugar and flavouring.
Most food have some mineral salts in them. Some of these minerals are used, together
with proteins, to build our bones and other are used to help build our muscles
and nerves or other mineral salts are used for teeth and blood. All parts of our
body are in need of mineral salts.Some of the most important mineral salts are
calcium salts that we can find in milk, butter, cheese, yoghurt, bread, cabbage
and many other foods. Calcium salts are used by your body to make healthy bones
and teeth. Another important group of minerals or iron salts. Iron salts, are
needed for healthy red blood but we don´t have to eat nail or screws to
keep our blood red. To do this in fact would make us very ill. We need only tiny
amounts of iron salt that we can find in liver, corned - beef ,sardines, eggs,
bread and baked beans.We learn that we must to eat foods because we get power
from food, but it must be the right food. Chips, Pop corn, lollies, bonbons, chocolate
and other sweet stuff we don´t need firsttime they aren´t good for
our teeth and secondtime you get too much sugar when you eat them.But apples,
bananas, pears, oranges, melons, carotts, tomatoes, peas all vegatables and fruits
are good for your body. And we can feel lucky that we have enough to eat.Translations:
