Two friends are describing their favorite
snack.
Tika : What’s your favorite snack?
Tami :
Oh, My favorite snack is popcorn. I love
to eat while watching TV
Tika : I’ve always wanted to know how to make it. Can you tell me how
you make it?
Tami :
Sure. It’s really easy. First, put a little oil in a pan. Then heat the oil.
When the oil’s hot but not too hot, put in the kernels.
Tika : Ok. And what’s next?
Tami :
Next, when you see they’re starting to pop, cover the pan. Shake the pan a
little until the noise stops. After that, pour it into a bowl. Finally,
sprinkle a little salt over it and enjoy!
Tika : It sounds very easy to me
Many professional sports
team have recently added a new member to their organization-a nutritionist.
That’s because athletes have become aware that food affect performance. You
don’t have to be an athlete to notice this effect. If you’ve ever skipped breakfast
and then tried to clean the house, you know that you need food for energy. Here
are some tips about eating to increase your physical performance:
Eat enough food. Your body
needs a certain number of calories each day. If you’re too thin, you’ll often
feel tired and you’ll be more likely to get sick
Avoid eating foods that
are high in simple carbohydrates, that is, sugar. A chocolate bar will first
give you energy, but then it will leave you feeling even more tired.
