Eating for Good Health

More and more people today are choosing to take greater responsibility for their own health. We can influence our health with the help of a better diet, more exercise and reduced stress.

Your health and general wellbeing is very much determined by what you eat. Even a minor change in your diet can help to strengthen your resistance to many illnesses.

The body has a built-in alarm signal — hunger — to tell you when your supply of food, the “fuel for the body”, is low. Sometimes this signal asks for specific supplies, for example, sweet things when your body sugar is low or water when you are thirsty.

What many people fail to recognize is that their bodies have more than just one signal. Tiredness, aches and pains, stress, even chronic disease — all these can be indications of a diet that is lacking nutrition.

But we can’t see the results of a bad diet immediately. Often the effects take years to develop.

You are what you eat, and the food you eat effects the way you feel and the way you look all through your life.

Scientists now know that food and its affects are as complex as our own bodies. There are a lot of chemicals, minerals and vitamins found in a single food. Some are potential life-savers or hazards to health. It depends on how much it is consumed over time. So, you should learn how to balance your food intake. Small but well-informed changes to your diet will make a great difference to your wellbeing.

Exercise 3. Read and translate the following tables.

Table А. Содержание питательных веществ в основных продуктах и влияние их на организм человека:

Nutrient What foods have this nutrient? What does the nutrient do for you?
Minerals
Iron Meat, eggs, beans, green vegetables Helps red blood cells get oxygen.
Calcium Milk, cheese, peas, beans, green vegetables Helps build strong bones and teeth
Other substances
Carbohydrates Cereal, rice, potatoes, sugar, spaghetti, corn, peas, fruits Helps the body cells get energy
Protein Meat, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, milk, cheese, peanut butter, beans Helps build muscles, bones and teeth. Helps the body make new cells
Fats Butter, whole milk, oils, margarine, mayonnaise, peanut butter, fatty meat, cheese Keeps the body warm, gives the body energy

Table В. Количество калорий в разных продуктах питания

Turkey, light meat, without skin, roasted, 3 oz Milkshake, 8 oz
Yogurt, fruit varieties, 1 cup
Yogurt, plain, low-fat, 1 cup

Calories are used to measure the amount of energy in food. If you take in more calories than your body uses, the extra calories are stored in the form of fat. One pound of body fat is equal to about 3, 500 calories. As extra calories are stored over a period, weight is gained. This is important to remember if you are trying to control your weight. The above-mentioned table will help you do it.

Table C. Витамины и их влияние на здоровье человека.

Vitamin What food has this vitamin? What is the benefit?
Vitamin A milk, butter, green vegetables for our eyes
Vitamin В the skins of grain of all sorts for our hair and skin
Vitamin C lemons, oranges, tomato for improving our health  
Vitamin D milk, eggs, from sunlight

The vitamins are named by letters of the alphabet.

1. Vitamin A can be stored by the body.

2. Vitamin В cannot be stored. It must be supplied all the time by some of the food we eat.

3. Vitamin C is very important to the body. Without it men’s teeth become loose and their arms and legs weak.

4. There are other vitamins, but these, А, В, C and D, are the most important.

Exercise 5. Discuss the main sense of the text.

How much sugar do we eat?

Sugar is found in many different products such as soup, cereals, salad dressing, ketchup, peanut butter and baby food. You will not always see the word “sugar” when you read food labels. You might see the names sucrose, maltose (солодовый сахар), fructose or corn syrup instead. All of these add up to the same ingredient - sugar!

Sugar gives you quick energy. However, this energy lasts only a short time. Soon you begin to feel tired and sluggish (вялый, медлительный). The next time you want sugar, take a piece of fruit instead. You’ll get the energy you need without any letdown (слабость, вялость) afterwards.

Next material helps you discuss the main sense of the text

· questions: What can replace the sugar? Why is it better to take fruit instead of sugar? What sugar replacement will you choose?

· complete the sentences: The energy you get from sugar lasts … Another word for sugar is… A healthful substitute for sugar is…

Comprehensive Reading

Text A. Vegetarianism

Some people eat no meat. A meatless diet is growing more and more popular. Researchers discover the health benefits of meat-free eating.

What is a vegetarian? By definition, vegetarianism prohibits the consumption of meat or fish, but some diets are more restrictive than other.

Demi- or semi-vegetarians eat fish and sometimes chicken, but not red meat.

Ovo-lacto-vegetarians include milk and eggs in their diet but not meat or fish.

Lacto-vegetarians have milk and yogurt, as well as cheese made with vegetarian rennet, but no meat, fish or eggs.

Vegans do not eat any animal products at all, banning meat, fish, milk and eggs from their diets.

Fruitarians exclude pulses and cereals from the diet as well as allfoods of animal origin. Fruitarians eat only fruit, honey, nuts and nut oils

Macrobiotic followers have a diet consisting of ten different levels which become progressively more restrictive. At first, animal foods are excluded, then fruit and vegetables as well. At the final “purist” level only brown rice is eaten.

The Health Benefits. On the whole, vegetarians follow current healthy eating guidelines. Because they don’t eat meat, a prime source of saturated fat, vegetarians take in less total fat, as well as more fibre, in the form of fresh fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals. These foods are also good sources of beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, which are antioxidant nutrients and may protect the body from disease.

A research team at Oxford University has collected information on the health and mortality of more than 6, 000 vegetarians and a control group of more than 5, 000 meat-eating individuals. The study revealed significant differences between the two groups. For example, in contrast to meat-eaters, vegetarians have a 39 percent lower risk of dying from cancer. The study’s research team also found that the risk of heart disease was 24 per cent lower in vegetarians and 57 per cent lower in vegans than in regular meat-eaters.

 

Task One. Подберите русские эквиваленты к следующим английским словосочетаниям и выражениям: a meatless diet, health benefits, meat-free eating, by definition, consumption of meat or fish, ovo-lacto-vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians, exclude pulses and cereals, healthy eating guidelines, wholegrain cereals, good sources of beta carotene, antioxidant nutrients, the risk of heart disease, regular meat-eaters.

Preparing for the Party

A mother and her daughter are cooking dishes for the party.

I need your help badly, Mary. There is so much to do for tonight’s party — to prepare a salad, to bake various pies and cakes, to roast a goose and to cook a lot of other things. Please take the mincing machine and mince this bit of meat. I will scrape and slice the carrots.

Will you peel these potatoes and onions? I’ll make some potato chips and you set up the rest of the potatoes to boil. When they are soft, mash them with butter and hot milk. Now, wash and cut the potatoes and cucumbers, put them on the dish but don’t dress with the mayonnaise, we’ll do it later.

I think that it’s time to get out the goose from the oven. Then we’ll bake a layer cake and a pie with jam filling. I’ll beat the eggs for the dough. Look, the rice is boiling over, turn the gas down a little. Now, be a good girl and whip the whites of these eggs. Here is some powdered sugar to mix with the whites when you are through...

Now will you help me in laying the table? The guests will come in an hour. We’ll be twelve altogether, so lay twelve places. Take the dishes for refreshments from the sideboard and put them on the table. Now fetch the wine glasses — one for each cover.

We don’t uncork the bottles, but get the corkscrew ready. Please open these tins. Here is the tin opener for you.

 

Answer the questions:

1. What is the mother with her daughter going to do with the potatoes?

2. How do they usually prepare mashed potatoes?

3. What salad is the daughter preparing?

4. What is the mother going to bake?

5. Who will beat the eggs for the dough (тесто)?

COMPREHENSIVE READING

Corn (Maize)

Corn or maize was domesticated and cultivated by the native people of the New World when Christopher Columbus first reached its shores.

The cultivation of corn was of primary importance to the daily diet of the Indians, who used it in making a sort of bread, the tortilla.

Columbus took the seeds back to Spain in 1493, but the cultivation of corn began in Europe only around 1520. It was regarded primarily as a garden plant, but in the 16th century it became a culinary fixture and was used to make white and sweet bread — polenta. It was cooked in a mass, then cut with a wire into large, thin slices and arranged on a platter with cheese or with butter. Corn was extensively consumed by poor people because they were primarily concerned with filling their empty bellies.

In the United States, the cereal is almost always called corn, while in Britain it is called maize. Maize, variously spelled, is the cereal’s proper name in all European languages. The word is derived from the Spanish maize, taken in turn from the Indian maize. Polenta eventually replaced all of the other cereals and provided nourishment for many generations of poor working people in the countries of the Mediterranean Basin, the Balkans, Africa and Asia.

Nowadays there are a lot of different kinds of polenta and other dishes made with corn in recipe books.

My Profession Is a Cook

If you study for example, at the Cooking Department, you will be a cooking and catering professional: a cook or a technologist.

Every school year you will do practice work for 2—3 months. Let's study the practice at a restaurant. It will be a large restaurant and it will be open 24 hours a day.

There are three departments within the main shop there — a cold shop, a hot shop and a pastry-cook’s shop. Salads, snacks, sandwiches, cuts of cold meat and fish and desserts are made in the cold shop. Soups, hot meat and fish dishes and sauces are prepared in the hot shop. In the pastry-cook’s shop they make tarts, patties, fancy cakes, etc.

The kitchen staff begin their work at 7 o’clock. Student cooks will have to come to the restaurant at 10 o’clock. Each of them will be told to go to one of the shops. There they will be given some tasks for the working day. Usually student cooks prepare sandwiches, fruit salads and canapes for breakfast. They cut bread, ham, sausage and vegetables to put on canapes. Student cooks also decorate, them with herbs and little figures made of carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. Breakfast is usually served from 8 till 12. At 11 o’clock students begin to help the cooks by preparing dishes for lunch. Student cooks are usually trusted to cut vegetables and make sauces for desserts: strudels, ice cream, tarts and puddings.

All day student cooks have to carry out cooks’ instructions. The kitchen staff are very experienced there. The chef should be a very skilled cook. The main part of his job is to plan the menu for the day and manage the staff in the kitchen.

At the end of the practice time student cooks usually have to take an examination. They must prepare three courses: soup, a main course and dessert.

The practice gives a lot of useful information, it provides student cooks with an experience. You can realize that you have made the right choice.

Interview

If you look for a job, you will be asked some common questions by your future boss. Here are some hints for you. The most asked question on the interview is “Tell me about yourself”. Don't tell your life story, the interviewer is interested in your education first of all.

“Why do you want this job? ” If I were you, I would tell about the organization (shop, cafe, or restaurant), its customers, its products … as much as possible.

“What are your expectations (about salary)? ” This question is always a tricky one and a dangerous game to play in an interview. It is a common mistake to discuss salary before you are hired. If you know about the salary from the ad (advertisement), you will have an opportunity to tell a little bit higher.

“Do you have any questions for us? ” It is the best time to ask about your future work hours and holidays or vacation, the possibility to get extra payment, the tips, your responsibilities and rights.

There are some more things about which you can be asked. They are your hobby, your strong and weak points, your attitude to working under pressure, two-three most important for you things in a job. Try to be ready for all these questions? Do your home task.

For my 30th birthday party, my friends took me out to a steakhouse for dinner. We had onion rings and shrimp cocktails as appetizers. Everyone ordered T-Bone steaks, but I had a filet-mignon. Most of us ordered our steaks well done, but two of my friends asked
for rare. I thought it looked gross, but they said it was delicious. For dessert, the waitress brought a beautiful cake with candles on top, and everyone sang, “Happy Birthday.” We were so stuffed from the meal that we couldn't finish eating the cake. All throughout the dinner, the waitress was very kind and attentive to us. The service was wonderful, so we gave her a big tip. I had a great time. Even though the food was delicious, my favorite part of the night was just being with my friends on my birthday.

Eating for Good Health

More and more people today are choosing to take greater responsibility for their own health. We can influence our health with the help of a better diet, more exercise and reduced stress.

Your health and general wellbeing is very much determined by what you eat. Even a minor change in your diet can help to strengthen your resistance to many illnesses.

The body has a built-in alarm signal — hunger — to tell you when your supply of food, the “fuel for the body”, is low. Sometimes this signal asks for specific supplies, for example, sweet things when your body sugar is low or water when you are thirsty.

What many people fail to recognize is that their bodies have more than just one signal. Tiredness, aches and pains, stress, even chronic disease — all these can be indications of a diet that is lacking nutrition.

But we can’t see the results of a bad diet immediately. Often the effects take years to develop.

You are what you eat, and the food you eat effects the way you feel and the way you look all through your life.

Scientists now know that food and its affects are as complex as our own bodies. There are a lot of chemicals, minerals and vitamins found in a single food. Some are potential life-savers or hazards to health. It depends on how much it is consumed over time. So, you should learn how to balance your food intake. Small but well-informed changes to your diet will make a great difference to your wellbeing.

 

Vocabulary:

responsibility – ответственность wellbeing – самочувствие supply – запас fuel – топливо tiredness – усталость hazard – опасность intake – потребление to influence – влиять to reduce – уменьшать, сокращать to determine – определять to strengthen – усиливать(ся) to lack – испытывать недостаток to affect – вредить, отрицательно влиять

Answer the questions:

 

1. How can we influence our health?

2. Do you agree that our health and general wellbeing are determined by what we eat?

3. What alarm signals do our bodies have to indicate that our diet is lacking nutrition?

4. Can we see the results of a bad diet immediately?

5. How does the food we eat affect our life?

6. Why should everyone learn how to balance our food intake?

7. And what about your eating habits? Do you always eat healthy food? Do you often overeat? How many times a day do you usually eat? Can you balance your food intake?
