My favorite food. healthy eating
All food is made up of nutrients which our bodies use. There are different kinds of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats» vitamins and minerals. Different foods contain different nutrients.
First of all I do not eat animal meat at all. I prefer fish and other seafood. So in the morning I usually have some cottage cheese with kefir, then I have tea with two butterbroads. At dinner I have vegetable soup, a salad and fried fish. I do not have desserts, but only tea with lemon and sugar. For supper I have just a salad and then I eat fruit.
For some food is a source of pleasure, for others - a source of energy. For me food is a pleasant source of energy. To my mind healthy food should be quite simple. I eat complicated dishes only in restaurants. My daily meals consist of the same dishes every day.
The best way is to get into the habit of checking the ingredients and nutritional value on the sides of packets although this isn't always easy to do. Another thing to know is, for example, that we do need fat to live, it's an essential part of our diet and physically we couldn't exist without it.
The food we eat depends on lots of things. Taste is a big factor. Culture, religion and health also play a part in what food we eat. Advertising and social factors also have a big influence.
So I love all kinds of milk products, especially kefir, cheese. I prefer cheeses from Russia and Germany. I like different kinds of salads, dressed with olive oil or sour cream. I also love all kinds of potato dishes. I usually drink down food with natural juices or kvass.
Well, of course, on weekends I want to try a new dish. If I have free time, I try to invent a new salad or find an interesting recipe. On weekends I let myself have good red dry wine. Well, many say that red quantities are very good.
I do not buy in shops ready or semi-manufactured food products, because this is unhealthy. It is better to spend some time cooking than to have problems with overweight and heart.
Income is also an important factor.
Finally, there are three main messages to follow for healthy eating:
- First, we should eat less fat, particularly saturated fat.
- Secondly, we are to cut down on sugar and salt.
- Thirdly, we must eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
Also I prefer to have tea with bitter chocolate or home-made jams. As I do not change my daily dishes, I very seldom have stomach problems. Actually I think that the simpler food is, the better is its taste.

It's best to get in the habit of checking the ingredients and energy values listed on the packages themselves, although this is not always easy to do. We also need to know that we really need fats, this is an important component in our nutrition for the functioning of the body, and physically we cannot exist without them.

So, I love all kinds of dairy products, especially kefir, cheese. I prefer cheese from Russia and Germany. I love different types of salads dressed with olive oil or sour cream. I also love all kinds of potato dishes. Usually I wash down food with natural juices or kvass.

I don't buy ready-made or convenience food from stores because it's not healthy food. It is better to spend time cooking than to have health problems later.
Income is also an important factor.
Finally, there are three main points that you need to follow in order to eat right:
- first, we should eat less fat, especially fat that is high in saturated fatty acids;
- secondly, we must reduce our intake of sugar and salt;
- thirdly, we should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Food plays an important role in our lives. Often people have different preferences and tastes. Someone likes hot and spicy dishes, while others prefer softer tastes. For many people, a very important role plays the usefulness of the food. And there are those who prefer to eat only vegetarian food. In general, everyone has different tastes. As the wise saying goes – “Every man to his own taste”
Everybody in our family is fond of cooking. My mother cooks more often than others. And I like to help her. However, we often experiment with recipes, because we love the variety. We use recipes from all around the world. We like Italian food. We often cook pizza, lasagna and pasta. More we like Japanese cuisine – a variety of rolls and sushi.
And recently, we decided to try the traditional British cuisine and cook the famous cottage pie. At first we were a little bit confused by the ingredients. But in the end it came out very tasty
and satisfying.
In my opinion, cooking is a true art. Food should not only bring satiety, it should be tasty and useful.

There is a good proverb that I like very much: “We eat to live, but do not live to eat.” I think this is true because food is something that we need to stay alive. Food is a source of energy. Nevertheless I like eating tasty food even though I am not much into it. So, for some people food is a source of pleasure, too. But the food that we eat should also be healthy.
I eat similar food every day. It is usually very simple. My daily meal consists of light breakfast, lunch (at school), dinner and supper.
In the morning I usually have some tea with cheeseburgers or hamburgers, some porridge or cottage cheese with sugar or jam.
I like tea with toast and homemade jam. I have a sweet tooth, so I like chocolate and different cakes, sweets very much.
I usually have lunch at school - it's juice or tea and sandwiches that I take from home. I can also go to a canteen.
For dinner when I come home I have vegetable soup. Actually I don't like soup. But I have to eat it because it's healthy. But when I come to my granny I can't stop trying her specialty - borsch or shi. Soup with meatballs that my mom cooks is my favorite. I can also have a salad or fried fish. I usually don't have desserts. Maybe some green or black tea with lemon.
For supper we usually have different kinds of potato dishes or pasta. I like meat very much. But I also like fish and other sea products - shrimps, squids, salmon and mackerel.
Vegetables are also what I love! Different vegetables are always on our dinner table. My mom makes tasty salads. I love different salads with dressings. I don't eat much mayonnaise. Our salads usually have olive oil or sour cream as a dressing. We buy different fruits as well. My favorite fruits are bananas and tangerines.
I also love all kinds of dairy products like milk, yoghurt, kefir, cottage cheese and cheese.
While eating I usually drink juice or tea.
I think fast food (like McDonalds) is very bad for our health. Ready-made food like pelmeni, hamburgers and so on is also not very good. So, we try to cook at home. It is better to spend some time cooking than to have health problems.
Well, of course, my family likes to try new dishes. So my mom always invents a new salad or cooks a new an interesting recipe if she has time on weekends.
I try not to eat just before I go to bed.
