    Read the text and answ

    er the questions

    The food pyramid is a good guide

     to eating a healthy diet. Carbo

    hydrates are especially 

    good for children and athletes b

    ecause they can give a lot of 

    energy and fibre. Fruit and 

    vegetables are really

    good for everyone. They can kee

    p you healthy because they are

     rich 

    in fibre, vitamins and minerals t

    hat prevent many illnesses. Fibre

     is necessary for good 

    digestion. Dairy products can hel

    p you to have strong bones and

     teeth because they are rich 

    in calcium. Proteins can help yo

    ur muscles and brain. They are

     rich in iron. Iron is good for

    your blood and brain. Fats and

     sugar are not very beneficial. 

    Some oils like olive oil is goo
    d, 

    but too much fat and fried foo

    d is unhealthy. The same with 

    sweets:

     you can only eat a few!

    1. Can you reduce illnesses eating

     fruit and vegetables?

    R//: Well, this would reduce the number of cases of diabetes, some types of
    cancer and overweight and obesity. Fruits and vegetables are the coconut of
    many.

    2. Can carbohydrates help your di

    gestion?

    R//: When we eat normally, we then incorporate simple and complex


    carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in addition to the vitamins and minerals
    contained in them.

    The digestion of complex carbohydrates begins in the mouth, through saliva,


    which breaks down starches.
    3. Does calcium help to produce s
    trong bones and teeth?

    R//:
    The mineral calcium helps your muscles, nerves, and cells to function
    normally. Your body also needs calcium (as well as phosphorous) to
    make healthy bones. Bones are the main calcium storage site in your
    body. Your body cannot make calcium. The calcium the body needs is
    obtained only through the food you eat or through supplements. If you
    don't consume enough calcium in your diet or if your body doesn't
    absorb enough calcium, your bones may weaken or not grow properly

    4. Is iron bad for your brain?

    R//: Lack of iron affects how the brain works. A study shows that
    having low levels of this mineral affects cognitive performance.
    There is no doubt that having good health is important. Maintain
    adequate levels of vitamins, glucose, etc.

    5. Are all oils bad for your body? 

    R//: Using vegetable oil from seeds, legumes or nuts is an increasingly


    common practice in kitchens around the world. Many consider them a
    "healthy" substitute for butter, as they are reputed to have fewer saturated fats
    than butter. And they are cheaper than olive oil. However, some studies have
    questioned these claims in recent years, warning that oils that are marketed as
    vegetables are not as "good" as believed. In fact, they can be harmful to our
    health, say specialists. And it is that "vegetable" is not always synonymous
    with "healthy". The fault is, mainly, the omega 6 that they contain, which can
    cause inflammation within our body, increasing the chances that we will suffer
    from diseases such as arthritis, depression or skin cancer, among others.

    6. Are sweets good for your healTh?

    R//: To survive, our bodies need a type of sugar, called glucose. "Glucose is
    the brain's main food and is a very important source of fuel for the entire
    body," reports Dr. Kristina Rother, a pediatrician and NIH expert on
    sweeteners. However, there is no need to add glucose to your diet, as your
    body can generate the glucose it needs by breaking down food molecules like
    carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
