Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment(营养). The old saying “An_apple_a_day_keeps_the_doctor_away.” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form(丸剂), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing(有营养的) food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn't need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?
In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw away the good habits and throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.
Chinese diet is generally considered to be the healthiest in the world. It contains balanced nutrients as well as fibers. It's not right to eat too full or take in too much fat, salt or sugar. Remember: Healthy diet combined with regular exercise is the recipe for a happy life.
