In other words, food that contains something from each of the 3 main groups of food. These groups are protein, carbohydrate and fat. Proteins are very important for building our bodies. They help us to build new cells as old ones die. Meat and made products are major source of protein, but not the only ones. We can also get protein from fish, eggs and beans. Carbohydrate and fat are important to enable us to store energy. They provide fuel for the body. Carbohydrate are found in sugar and then cereal such as rice, maize and wheat. Fat are found in vegetable oil in butter and nuts. Our bodies also need minerals, such as island calcium and vitamines.

Fish, vegetables and milk contain most of the minerals we need. Vetamines are found in fresh vegetables and fruits.

Dialogue 3:

How can I lose weight, doctor? I seem to get fatter even when I just no eat food?

Well, Jim. It is a combination of how much you eat, the type of food you eat, and when you eat your meals.

I never eat breakfast though.

That's a big mistake, you should always have a good breakfast. You will not run your car without fuel, and as well you won't expect your body to work without food.

I never thought about it that way.

I bet you eat a large evening meal, then sit and watch TV or read a book. Then instead of burning off your energy, your body stores it as fat.

Oh doctor, I feel so foolish.

Well control is really using common sense when you plan your eating habits.

I know doctor, thank you so much.

That's ok. It's important for all people to take care with their diet. A good diet can improve the lank of your life. And what just is important a good diet can improve the quality of your life. We all know the benefit of a balance diet with a lot of fruit and vegetables, a little meat, some grains and some milk. Three small balance meals every day are better for us than one huge meal. Certainly we can not all be fashion models, that will be silly. But if we watch our diet, and become exceptive of our body shape, we can all live longer and happier.
