Healthy food Healthy food is very important to have a good life and a better communication for many reasons.

First of all, people who eat healthy food, they have the ability to do hard work. Second, if a person eats food which has vitamins, proteins, iron and other important nutrients, then he will be free from diseases, and he can enjoy his life. Moreover, everyone definitely likes to meet those who have a good health, so a person who is healthy, he has friends. For example, a person who looks weak and does not live healthy lifestyle will feel lonely, and he will not be happy. Finally, a good mind can be developed if people eat healthy food, and this is necessary for children. Therefore, if you want good looking, intelligent mind and make friends, you should eat healthy food. A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve health. It is important for lowering many chronic health risks, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.[1] A healthy diet involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water. Nutrients can be obtained from many different foods, so there are numerous diets that may be considered healthy. A healthy diet needs to have a balance of macronutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), calories to support energy needs, and micronutrients to meet the needs for human nutrition without inducing toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive amounts. Living a healthy lifestyle is certainly not easy. A healthy lifestyle is defined by three different categories: physical, mental/emotional and spiritual. In order to live a truly healthy lifestyle, you must balance all three categories and they must all function together simultaneously. In order to live a physically healthy lifestyle, you must learn how to balance your every day life. Doing a minimum of thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity for just three days a week, can do a myriad number of positive things for your body. Not only can physical activity extend your years of life, but it can also reduce the likelihood of getting many health related problems. Exercising is not the only important feature of being physically healthy, though. A healthy diet is key. The food pyramid is there for a reason! Statistically, America has a very high mortality rate due to obesity. Portioning your food correctly can do wonders! Along with exercise and a healthy diet, sleep is also very important! A healthy range of hours of sleep is between 7-9 hours. Once youve reached a state of balance, you will already feel that much better physically, and even mentally.

Why are good books good teachers and friends?

In fact, interesting books are a source of invaluable knowledge to those who want to master everything they havent known before. Through masterpieces all over the world we can realize the whole outstanding culture and civilization of mankind in every aspect: literature, science, sociology, anthropology, technology and economics. Nobody denies the important role of good books in developing mans knowledge. The more we read valuable books the more we become wise and experienced. By reading books, we can get rid of all prejudices and narrow-mindedness. We can no longer live in The Ivory Tower like a recluse and therefore we can get along with other people around us easily.

In summary, good books help us train our personality. They help us distinguish the Good from the Bad and they lead us to the True, the Good and the Beautiful.

The advantages and disadvantages of television

First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current affairs in the world. Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines. Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives. Our knowledge is broadened in many ways. Through language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and so on. We can become skilful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or arranging flowers through practical courses taught on television. Finally, television is a source of recreation. Humorous stories and funnyfilms bring us minutes of relaxation after a hard days work. For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international football match on television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium.

The importance of newspaper

Talk about the importance of newspaper The newspaper, today, plays a vital role in human affairs. Its importance has not been diminished by the appearance of the radio or the television. Men no longer have travel to get information. The newspaper has become the main source of information. The newspaper has become the main source of information about local and foreign affairs. Though the radio and television convey important news and messages quicker than the newspaper, they seldom give the details of an incident. The newspaper, on the other hand, gives not only more detail about a particular incident but it also contains more new items. This is greatly important today when political changes occur with rapidity unknown before. Besides, the newspaper is easier to carry and it could be read at any time during the day. Further, the permanence of the printed word helps one to refresh ones memory of certain facts and incidents reported in the past. The importance of newspaper has been increased greatly by the spread of education. Education sharpens ones curiosity about events in distant lands and also makes one conscious of the necessity to maintain ones reading habits. In both respects the newspaper appeals most, especially if one finds little time to read books.

Computers have become increasingly important and popular. Could you describe some useful ways in which computers have so far contributed to our modern life?
The most wonderful invention of the machine age, the computer, has been used since 1946. Since its appearance, the computer has contributed to mankind many useful ways in every aspect. First of all, in the accounting domain: with lightning speed and perfect accuracy, the computer can do simple calculations such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division marvelously. A computer can work 500,000 times faster than a man can do with pencil and paper. Calculations which would have taken days become a matter of minutes with computers.

Then in the study and research of scientists, historians and sociologists not only can the computer gather facts but it can also store them as fast as they are gathered and then can pour them out whenever they are needed. In this way, the computer is really a high-powered memory machine capable of answering all problems and questions. Next in the navigation and aviation scopes: with the computer, pilots and sailors can avoid all dangers on their itinerary. It helps them direct their flights and voyages from this city to another one, control airspeeds and altitudes when their planes land or take off. How could NASA solve all the problems of the space shuttles without its computers. Finally in the constructing and designing fields: besides gathering and storing information the computer can solve complicated problems that took man months to do. They have been used by building companies. From the architects original plan, the computers can derive new plans according to a new type of environment, the cost of building and so on To sum up, we dare say that there is practically no limit to what computers can do and their contributions to our modern life are boundless.

The radio
The outline: 1. How popular it is 2. How it is used by the police 3. Why it is important 4. Why it is popular 5. The end The radio is so popular today that it is found in almost every home. It is indeed a wonderful invention of man. It brings a voice from the distance not only to inform but also to entertain. Today, the radio plays a very important part in conveying news. The police use it to send messages to the remote corners of the country and to warn people against danger. They also use it to capture criminals. The radio is also used to inform people about the latest events of the world. If a war breaks out anywhere, news about it is sent to all the countries of the world. Thus, all the countries are informed almost at the same time. Further, the radio is an important means of entertaining people in all parts of the world. Music played in one country can be heard in another country thousands of miles of away. In this respect, the radio is superior to television. Even a man driving a motor-car can listen to beautiful music if he has radio in his car. But it is not possible to watch television inside a motor vehicle while one is driving. The importance of the radio is therefore not difficult to realize.

Health Problems If you spend all of your free time playing video games and skip meals or lose sleep because of your excessive game play, a video game addiction can negatively impact your health. The Mayo Clinic notes that children who spend more than two hours a day in front of a television or video games in lieu of participating in physical activity may suffer from childhood obesity. In addition, the University of Texas at Dallas notes that the addiction can lead to such medical issues as backaches, headaches, eyestrain and carpal tunnel syndrome--pain and numbness that you may feel in your wrists, hands, shoulders and elbows. Suffering Relationships Relationships with friends and family members may suffer if you're spending more time gaming than you are talking to or going out with loved ones. The On-Line Gamers Anonymous website notes that gaming may be negatively affecting your life if you only want to talk about video games, lie to cover up the amount of time you spend playing, forgo intimacy with your spouse in lieu of gaming or argue with loved ones over your excessive gaming. Increased Aggression Video games that feature violent actions and scenarios may lead addicted players to be desensitized to the violence. Richard Gallagher, director of the NYU Child Study Center's Parenting Institute, states that players who become engrossed in first-person shooter-style video games, for example, may adopt a detached view of society or develop aggressive thoughts and tendencies. Poor Performance Long hours playing video games can negatively affect your performance in school or at work if you're preoccupied with video games or failing to work at your optimum level because you're exhausted from a late night of video game playing. The Mayo Clinic notes that children who devote more than one or two hours a day to television or video games may have trouble falling asleep, have problems paying attention and have lower test scores than children who don't spend as much time in front of a television or video game console. Childhood Obesity One major effect of fast food on children is carrying excess body fat. Weight gain can occur when a child eats fast food, since many fast food meals are very high in calories, and a child can easily eat more calories than her body burns in a day. Over time, this caloric surplus leads to weight gain and eventually obesity. The Penn State Children's Hospital recommends preventing and treating childhood obesity by providing your child with sweets and fast food in only moderation, encouraging your child to eat breakfast each day to avoid overeating in the afternoon, and providing healthy snacks to sate hunger. If your child already suffers from childhood obesity, consult with a physician to determine an appropriate plan of action to address the health concern.

Insulin Resistance Feeding children a diet rich in fast food can also lead to insulin resistance. Colorado State University explains that insulin typically helps control blood sugar -- the release of insulin from the pancreas encourages your child's cells to take up sugar in their blood, lowering overall blood sugar levels. Following a poor diet, such as one rich in fast foods, can decrease cells' sensitivity to insulin, so the release of insulin is no longer sufficient to lower blood sugar levels. This insulin resistance can act as a precursor to other diseases in adulthood, including type 2 diabetes. Limiting your child's fast food intake and improving his diet may help improve insulin responsiveness and help prevent the development of diabetes in the future. Difficulties at School Eating a diet rich in fast foods can also affect your child's performance at school. The brain relies on proper fuel as a source of energy, as well as a range of nutrients that facilitate learning and memory. A fast food diet may lead to nutrient deficiencies, meaning your child's brain does not have the tools to learn effectively. Virginia Tech recommends packing a nutritious lunch for your child -- and offering an alternative to a cafeteria fast food lunch -- since a healthy lunch composed of proteins, dairy products, grains, fruits and vegetables can increase a child's attention span and positively affect her academic performance.

Why People Prefer to EAT Fast Food:

Fast food is ready-to-cook and we are so busy that we cannot make something rather we prefer to eat readymade food. Fast food is tasty to eat and our taste buds like them because either they have loads of salt and spice or else sugar. They are usually presented in colorful and presentable packaging which increase the appetite.

They are easy to carry along because of the packaging. Eating fast food is still regarded as fashion in some societies. Some people do not have knowledge of the negative effects of fast food on our health. Fast food is marketed everywhere and fast food restaurants are readily available in every locality that is why people go for it.

POLLUTION EFFECTS
Nowadays pollution is a big problem in the world. Many people and many companies are searching and creating new programs and strategies for avoiding pollution. Also the goverment is trying to find a solution. So it is iportantto know what we are doing with our world. The effects of pollution are a lot but the main ones are the ozone pollution, the death of the nature and then illnesses. Ozone pollution is the biggest problem. Ozone pollution is really an increase in the concentration of ozone in their air at uv ground level. Because the sunlight has a critical role in its formation, ozone pollution is principally a daytime problem in the summer months. Ground-level ozone is produced when sunlight combines with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide, two compunds produced by cars, trucks, factories, and power generating plants and found wherever gasoline,diesel or natural gas are combusted. So these gases are going to affect our life. Another effect is that the nature is dying. Some air pollutants harm plants and animals directly. Other pollutants harm the habitat, food or water that plants and animals need to survive. When air pollution causes acid rains, plants that rely on rain water to live and grow are endangered. However all these pollutants are causing changes to the places where plants and animals live around the world. The next effect are illnesses. People have no choice but to breathe the air around them. When it is polluted, they breathe in ozone, particles, and harmful gases that can hurt their lungs, heart and overall health. Air pollution can cause burning eyesand breathing problems, such as asthma or severe bronchitis. Also ultraviolet radiation causes skin cancer. In conclusion, pollution is really a big problem in the world beacuse it is causing ozone depletion, nature dying and many different illnesses. People are creating new projects that will be good for the humanity. But If we dont take conscience about these problems, maybe in the future we will have more problems. So we need to try to avoid pollution.

Smoking has become a trend in todays world, even though people know how harmful it is. Smoking causes are obvious it will ruin your health and give you series of health issues. In America 85% teenagers first start smoking from the age of fifteen and sixteen, smoking tobacco is really addicting. Smoking causes heart diseases, blood pressure, series of cancers such as, lung cancer, mouth cancer and throat cancer. I have noticed that many people in my relatives who smoked all their youth quit smoking in their forties after experiencing heart attacks. Some of the people dont even quit after they realize they are having health issues. This is all because of being addicted to nicotine. There are several brands of cigarettes and people assume some different brands will affect them less. The fact is whether you smoke the lights or the regular brands, it will affect your health either ways. The most health ruining cigarette is the menthol brands which not only gives you health problems like regular cigarette but also can cause a man impotency. Smoking does not only cause health issues, but in depth it makes you look bad in front of many people and own families. Smokers can

cause themselves as a bad image human being since it represents their personality and make them smell bad. A husband who smokes while being with his wife and kids may cause them serious breathing problems. Second hand smoke is what also smokers cause to their surrounding people, which is more awful than first hand smoking. Quitting nicotine is never easy but its not impossible, will power is all smokers need and sake of their beloved ones and quit on nicotine, there are several anti-nicotine classes and seminars all over the world so that smokers can know the bright side of quitting nicotine. Smoking yet also causes people to stay away from smoker, public views a smoker as bad person and probably will want to maintain distance from smokers.

EFFECTS OF SMOKING
Do you smoke? If you do, it is really important to know some things about the damage done in your body by smoking. In our days is very common to see people smoking and sometimes under age people. Smoking a lot causes some effects like lung and mouth cancer, ulcers and also the passive smokers can be damged by people who smoke. One of the effects is lung cancer and also mouth cancer. Those kinds of illnesses are very pitiful. Cancer is considered like a slow death. The lung cancer is the effect of smoking, is when you lose the capacity to breath right. The lungs lose their capacity of expansion, the expansion that they need to work right. So, when people have lung cancer is really difficult to breath for them. So, they have to recieve special attention in the hospital, they have to be conected to an artificial breathing. So, as I said, it is a slow death. Another effect caused by smoking and thats cause a lot of damage are ulcers. This kind of illness is produced by smoking. Cigarette smoke produces serious damages in the stomach. Ulcers are a cause of death if they are not detected on time. So all smokers have to be careful if they feel frequent stomachaches. Nobody pays attention to this kind of symthomps, but if you have an ulcer you coul be in risk of dying. Many people result damaged by cigarettes, but this kind of people smoke indirectly. The passive smokers recieve damage by people who smoke next to them. In many cases passive smokers have many deseases produced by smokers. Passive smokers sometimes never know the effects of breathing cigarette smoke. To conclude, smoking is bad for your health, because it produces a lot of damage and in extreme cases: the death. Smoking is like a slow death, so if you are smoker, you are in risk, you are dying, so be careful with that.
