COMPREHENSION :***TEXT(1) ***EATING HABITS***





Many popular nutritional habits are giving way to new healthier eating ones, which aimed at cutting down on the high rate of heart disease and some kinds of cancer in Britain.
A report, produced by the British Ministry of Health says that factory-made foods as baked beans and grilled fish, for example, can be less harmful and less fattening than lamb chops or beef steak. Red meat, in fact, is no longer considered an essential part of the daily diet .Protein in the form of fish or poultry, both lower in fat and calories than meat, is preferable. High fibre foods such as peas,beans,potatoes and bread are also held to play an important part in healthy eating. And smaller meals are recommended as a vital contribution in the battle against obesity. The report recommends that we eat more fibre, fruit and vegetables, but especially less fat, sugar and salt. The rate of heart disease in Britain is currently among the highest in the western world and much of it is due to much fat intake in our diet.
But the report emphasises that being in good health goes with altering our diet. Revised eating habits should be part of an overall change in lifestyle including more exercise, less alcohol and smoking.
