1. Pizza

Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the United States and is, in fact, a genuine American invention despite its close association with Italy. A pizza is basically a round piece of dough, covered with a layer of mild cheese and spicy tomato sauce, along with one or more top­pings such as sliced fresh mushrooms, sausage, olives, and onions. It is freshly baked, cut into pie-shaped wedges with a sharp knife and served hot. Each person helps himself to a piece and eats it with his fingers.

2. Hot Dog

It is a small sausage of finely chopped and seasoned meat. Through the years, the Hot Dog has become a favourite with grown-ups and children in America. Its great popularity is due to the convenience in its preparation. Without much effort this tasty meal can be prepared for large crowds at big sport events or at sidewalk food stands. This sausage is served hot in a long, soft roll, with mustard, relish, etc.

The Hot Dog was originally called that by the U.S. cartoonist Tad Dorgan in 1909. As the story goes, he was covering a baseball game in New York City. Deadline was approaching, and Dorgan needed a car­toon idea. He watched shivering fans snap up hot sausage sandwiches. Suddenly he had an inspiration. He drew a cartoon of barking sausages wrapped warmly in rolls. He wrote: "hot dogs". The name caught on. Now hot dogs are one of the nation's most popular foods.

Food! Glorious food!

TIP 1

If you eat junk food day after day - like hamburgers and pizzas - you won't feel satisfied (and you won't be as healthy)! Our nose and mouth are extremely sensitive to flavour, the smell and even the temperature the food we eat. We need to stimulate all these senses by eating a wide variety of really tasty foods. So, start experimenting! Instead of your usual boring junk food, why don't you try a crisp mixed salad, with a blue cheese dressing? Or a spicy vegetable soup with fresh bread? [1] Whatever you choose, the important thing to try something different and give your taste buds a treat.

TIP 2

Always make time to sit down and eat you meals at the table instead of gobbling them down on your way from A to B. This way, you won't eat so much. Even the way you chew your food is important. If you eat in a hurry and don't chew your food properly, you often end up eating more than you really need. Your mouth has lots of nerve endings that send message to your brain. [2]

If you eat your food too fast, your brain misses the signal, it doesn't realize that you've eaten anything. As a result, you'll want to carry on eating.

TIP 3

Cut out sugary snacks like biscuits, sweets and cake -they're bad for your mind and your body! Your body absorbs sugar very quickly, so eating sugary foods can give you an immediate sense of energy and well-being. But it doesn't last long, unfortunately. [3] So why eat foods that will make you feel high and then low? Just give them up! Instead, have a piece of fresh fruit when you need to increase your energy level quickly. You’ll feel much better. Jane Clarke also advises eating more foods that contain protein, like fish, chicken and eggs, and strongly recommends pulses, such as beans and peas. Protein-rich foods are satisfying and nutritious and can give you the same happy feeling as sugar.

TIP 4

Take more exercise! When you start exercising, you'll need to eat the right food at the right time to help you keep going. Jane Clarke warns: “We're often tempted to fill up on foods that are full of carbohydrates, such as pasta, bread and rice. [4] The problem is that these foods make you relax, which is fine if you only eat a little bit. However, if you eat too much, you'll end up feeling sleepy. And this is definitely not a good idea if you're going for a jog!

TIP 5

When you exercise, you need to be wide awake and alert. The best plan is to eat lots of protein along with fibre-rich fruit, vegetables or salad. [5] And when you've finished your workout, eat carbohydrates to get back the energy which your body used up during exercise.
