Healthy Eating
 Food
Announcer:
Welcome to "Sheila's Kitchen." Today's program is about salads. Good
morning, Sheila.

Sheila:
Hello, Mike. And good morning to all our listeners. When I was young, we ate
green salads - lettuce or cucumbers - with some salt and a little lemon juice. My
mother served the salad with meat, chicken, and fish. But today, salads can be
your meal. Salads are healthy summer foods. And for dessert, some people like
a fresh fruit salad. And now, a few words about Durelle plates and dishes. You
can cook in them, bake in them, and freeze food in them, too. Buy Durelle
products and enjoy them in the kitchen and on your table. They are strong
enough for cooking. They are pretty enough for guests. Now let's return to our
salads.
 Dieters Are Feeling Great!
Idea principal
Kim Fit, the famous woman basketball player, introduced her "Fit Feels Great"
diet book three months ago. Thousands of people are already losing weight.
"They feel wonderful! This diet is healthy and safe. You don't need to buy
special foods. Anyone can use my diet!"

David Meals is a 42-year-old businessman. He's doing the "Fit Feels Great"
diet. "Before, I only ate a piece of cake for breakfast. Now I understand that
breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The body needs energy after a
long night without any food," he explains. Mr. Meals now eats some bread and
some fat-free cottage cheese for breakfast.

Rock singer Maxi is doing Kim Fit's diet, too, and she feels terrific. Now, she
never eats fried foods. She eats a lot of turkey and chicken; they have less fat
than ham and steak. Maxi also doesn't use much salt. "I look ten years younger,
don't I?" the superstar says.

WRITING

Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with

physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight,
reduce your risk of chronic diseases. Some examples are vegetables, they are
ver important in our lifestyle. Before the diet, I ate fried potatoes and grilled
chicken every day but now I'm on diet. I drink two gallons of pure water and I
eat vegetable salads with olive oil. I lose weight and I feel great.
