When it comes to feeling better about yourself,nothing will help you like healthy eating.Controlling what you eat is a big factor (因素) in how you look and feel.If you think about it,so much of how we behave,how we feel,and how our bodies perform is based on what we put into them.
The old saying “You Are What You Eat” is actually true.The problem is that a lot of mainstream diet books you might find in your local bookstore or online are trying to sell you diet plans that don’t work and that might even make you sick.
Healthy eating is great for your body.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.Many people don’t realize just how good healthy food is for them.By eating great foods that are natural and healthy,you can lose weight.You can also have a lot more energy.So you shouldn’t just think of healthy eating as a way to burn fat,but you should also think of it as a way to get your life back in order.
You can spend more time with your family and get more work done because you will have more energy.You will be impressed by how much better you’ll feel by putting nutritious,natural foods into your body.Your look will be better.You’ll have more energy,and you’ll be happier.
The important thing to remember when it comes to eating healthy is to not fall for any tricks.There are a lot of people out there looking to make quick money.They will tell you just something so they can sell a book or a video.What you need is to trust a diet plan that is right for your body.Educate yourself about your own body type.Find out what kinds of foods are best for you.If the diet book you trust doesn’t teach you these important factors,then you might be reading bad information.

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him,he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this,I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me,ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her.I asked her if she would try to get him to play,and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this,she could do that,she could try this idea,she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixyearold can,and said,“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone,silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off,hand in hand,happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment,about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid,little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think,how to approach problems,and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us,the teachers,as well as our kids.
