Getting Fat or Keeping Fit !!!

Some people want to get fat -Japanese Sumo wrestlers , for example. Their typical meal is called

chankonable , a mixture of rice , meat , vegetables . It's healthy, but it has a lot of calories .

It's difficult to throw a very heavy man to the floor ! This is why Sumo wrestlers eat a lot of

food and go to bed straight after eating . Some Sumo wrestlers weight 250 kilograms, a few of

them even 280 kilograms.

But most people want to keep their weight down . In Britain and the USA , doctors are

worried that a lot of teenagers are overweight.

They often eat unhealthy food and spend a lot of time sitting in front of the television or the

computer .

HERE'S SOME ADVICE :

* Have some vegetables or some fruit in every meal. Tomatoes are great !

* Eat five small meals a day instead of two or three large meals .

* It's a good idea to eat snacks , but don't eat a lot of sugar. Have some bread , an apple , some

grapes or carrot.

* Don't eat fried food very often . Have some rice or some pasta instead.

* Drink a lot of water. If you want a sweet drink , have some fruit juice.

* Do some exercise every day. Exercise burns off the calories and makes you fit .

So come on - get up and ride your bike , swim , run , go to walks !

* Finally, remember -there's no need to be skinny ! Enjoy your food and have fun when you're exercising.
