Nutrition and Healthy Foods

Dear students,

We have been learning a lot about nutrition, different kinds of food and healthy diet.


I have found some videos on the Internet for you. All of them are about healthy foods and nutrition in general. All of them contain a lot of suggestions and advise for you about good nutrition and healthy ways to eat. It does not mean you have to follow all of them, but it's a good idea to watch them, make some notes and think about what they are talking about. I'm sure you can find a lot of good and healthy tips for yourselves.


Watch carefully and think if whatever they're talking about makes some sense to you. Then you can decide for yourselves if you need and want to follow these suggestions. Anyway, this information is useful and helpful for everyone.

Here is the 1st video. Please, take notes. Write the names of the recommended foods and write how they affect our bodies. In this way you'll learn and remember a lot useful tips about food. Later we are going to talk about it. So, please, watch the video carefully.


If you didn't understand everything completely or still have some doubts, please watch the video again. Here is the 2nd video. Take notes again. It will help you understand everything much better. What are these 10 foods? What do they do? Are they useful for us or not? Is there any kind of food that you’re not agree with? Why? Think about it and get ready to answer this question. 



Now I'm offering you the 3rd video. Reading the title of the video, you can think it is only for women, but it's not! Even men should know simple things about healthy and beautiful skin. So, watch this video and write what kind of foods they recommend in these video? What do YOU think about it?



Now here it the next video. I think it contains a lot of information about different foods - fruit and vegetables.



Write the names of these foods for yourself or at least, write the name of those foods you like or would eat. It will help you to have different ideas what you should eat to stay healthy. Here is one more video - How to feed your family Healthy Meals on a Tight Budget. It might help you to manage you budget and not overspend money on healthy food.


Here is a link to a different ESL site. Click on it and read the article about Healthy Food. It'll give you additional information about how to eat right.

Now, think about everything you've watched and heard. Do you get the whole idea about good nutrition and healthy foods? Do you understand that this is very important? Do you have a plan how you and your family need to eat? Put everything together and try to chose what you think is good, healthy and affordable for you. This is the 1st step to your good eating. 

Congratulations!

Next week we're going to talk about this topic, so remember useful information and save your ideas for this discussion with me and your classmates.
