My favourite food and 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.

As for me I do not eat animal meat at all. I prefer fish and other sea products. So in the morning I usually have some cottage cheese with kefir, then I have tea with two sandwiches. For dinner I have vegetable soup, a salad and fried fish. I do not have a dessert, just a cup of tea with lemon and sugar. For supper I have some salad and then I eat fruit.

For some people food is a source of pleasure, for others - a source of energy. For me food is a pleasant source of energy. I think that pleasant food is healthy food. 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.

I’d like to point out that to get into the habit of checking the ingredients and nutritional value on the sides of packets is very important, although it 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 major factor. Culture, religion and health also play a part in what food we eat. Advertising and social factors have a great influence as well.

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 fresh juice or kvass while eating.

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 doctors say that red wine in reasonable quantities is very good for health.

I do not buy in shops ready or semi-manufactured food products, because it is unhealthy. It is better to spend some time cooking, than to have problems with overweight.

Income is also an important factor. That is why, it’s not surprising that money, rather than lack of knowledge about how to eat well, is at the heart of the problem.

Finally, there are three main rules 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 fruit and vegetables

I also prefer to have tea with bitter chocolate or home-made jams. As I do not change my daily dishes, I have stomach problems very seldom. Actually I think that the simpler the food is, the better it tastes.
