Introduction

We would like to present to your attention the results of our research work on the topic “Healthy food”.

We have chosen this topic because nowadays it is very popular to keep a healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle incudes physical exercises, keeping regular hours and healthy eating. For people, who do sports it is good to control nutrition, as it allows to show better results.

The main aim of our project work is to prove or disprove the hypothesis “Healthy food can be delicious”.

Our project tasks are the following:

• to know the food habits of the pupils of our school and their attitude to healthy food

• to work with some information to the topics “Healthy food” and “Junk food” (to read texts, watch videos)

• to analyze the information

• to find some delicious recipes

• to cook dishes

Project work

This project work consists of several steps. On the first step we chose the theme. The problem of healthy lifestyle was the most interesting for us. After that we defined the aim and tasks, and formed a hypothesis.

Nowadays a lot of people go in for sports. Sport is a good way to reduce stress and improve health. A diet is also very important. We should eat regularly and choose fresh and healthy food. It is essential to eat enough fruit, vegetables, and meat. We shouldn’t eat too much sugar or consume sweet fizzy drinks. Sugar affects our hearts and can’t fill us for a long time. Nevertheless, junk food is very popular today. There are at least two reasons why people eat such kind of food:

• Hard working person doesn’t have any time to make food. Junk food is the only choice for them. It is easy to buy and easy to eat.

• Many people are addicted to fast food because it is very tasty. It’s hard to give up eating junk food.

One of the biggest mistakes is that healthy food does not taste good. Vegetables and fruit, small amount of sugar, lack of salt and fat sound like a nightmare for those, who are used to eating all these products. However, we are sure that today it is very easy to cook tasty dishes using only natural ingredients. For that reason, we decided to prove that the healthy food can be not only good for health but delicious.

During the second step we were doing our practical research work. The pupils of the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th forms answered some questions and then we analyzed their answers. You can see the questions in annex 1.

We found out that:

• 50% of pupils have a healthy diet;

• 44% should improve their diet;

• 6% eat too much junk, fatty food.

We also knew that majority of pupils from our school agree with the opinion that healthy food can be delicious. You can see the results of our research work in annex 2.

During the third and the fourth steps we were working with information (we were translating texts, watching videos). We were divided into two groups. The first group explored the issue of healthy food, the second one learned some facts about junk food.

We shared the information we found with each other on the fifth step of our project work. Then we were looking for the recipes which were tasty but healthy. Two recipes were chosen. The first recipe is chicken with cheese (it is an alternative to the pork with cheese). The second recipe is a very tasty salad. You can see the recipes in annex 3. We cooked them at home, and they were very delicious. The process of cooking was recorded. We made two videos.

Our hypothesis was proved. Healthy food can be delicious.

Conclusion

During our project work we knew the food habits of the pupils from our school and their attitude to healthy food, we learned the fact about healthy and junk food, we found some delicious but healthy recipes, cooked them, and proved our hypothesis.

It’s very important to choose the right food nowadays. Healthy and balanced diet is useful for every person. We depend on food as well as the cars depend on gas. It’s our natural fuel, which gives our body physical strength and health. 

We used to think that healthy food is not tasty at all. We usually don’t like healthy food. But that is wrong and we proved it. Everyone can eat healthy food and enjoy the meals at once.

Nowadays we use the word “diet” mainly when we mean that someone is trying to lose weight. “I am on a diet” usually means that a person doesn’t eat high-calorie food. This word has become so popular that it is often used as a marketing tool. For example, in a supermarket we can find dietary biscuits, dietary dairy products and even dietary Cola. But does the prefix “dietary” make all these products really good for our health? Of course, no. “Dietary” is not a synonym for “healthy”, as well as “diet” is not a synonym for “healthy nutrition”. In fact, a diet is just a way of nutrition, or a sum of all food products that are consumed by a particular person. A diet can be healthy or unhealthy, vegetarian, milk-free or zero-carb; it can be intended for losing or for gaining weight, and so on. The diet, which is good for one person, can be absolutely unacceptable for another one.

В наши дни мы используем слово «диета», в основном, когда подразумеваем, что кто-то пытается похудеть. «Я на диете» обычно означает, что человек не ест калорийную пищу. Это слово стало настолько популярным, что его часто используют в качестве маркетингового инструмента. Например, в супермаркете мы можем обнаружить диетическое печенье, диетические молочные продукты и даже диетическую колу. Но делает ли приставка «диетический» эти продукты по-настоящему полезными для здоровья? Конечно, нет. «Диетический» – это не синоним слова «полезный», точно так же, как и диета — не синоним правильного питания. На самом деле, диета – это всего лишь способ питания или совокупность всех продуктов, употребляемых определенным человеком. Диета может быть полезной и вредной, вегетарианской, безмолочной или безуглеводной; они может быть предназначена для похудения или набора веса, и т.д. Диета, которая подходит одному человеку, может быть абсолютно неприемлемой для другого.

There are some diets that are well-known and widely used in different countries of the world. Probably, the most renowned of them is a vegetarian diet, which suggests full or partial abstinence from any food of animal origin. Vegetarianism in a broad sense is not just a diet; it’s a style of life. Some peoples can not eat meat for religious reasons, others – for moral compulsion. And still others just believe that it is good for their health. It should be noted that there are several kinds of vegetarian diet Исправлено: kinds of a vegetarian diet. Thus, the vegans don’t eat any animal food including fish, eggs or dairy products. The lacto-vegetarians drink milk, consume milk products Исправлено: eat milk, milk products and eggs, but do not eat meat and fish. Finally, the semi-vegetarians can eat fish, seafood and poultry but don’t consume animal meat. In general, a vegetarian diet can be rather healthy. Vegetarians are less subject to obesity, coronary heart disease and heart attacks; they suffer from high blood pressure more rarely. But the right vegetarian diet must include all vital ingredients: proteins, fats, carbs, minerals and vitamins. Otherwise, lack of amino acids, calcium, iron, and B-group vitamins can cause bones brittleness, loss of hair and teeth, anemia, and other health problems.

Некоторые диеты хорошо известны и широко используются в разных странах мира. Наверное, самой известной из них является вегетарианская диета, которая предполагает полный либо частичный отказ от любой пищи животного происхождения. Вегетарианство в широком смысле – не просто диета, это стиль жизни. Некоторые люди не могут есть мясо по религиозным причинам, другие – из моральных соображений. Ну а третьи просто считают, что это полезно для здоровья. Стоит отметить, что существует несколько видов вегетарианской диеты. Так, веганы не употребляют вообще никакой животной пищи, включая рыбу, яйца и молочные продукты. Лакто-вегетарианцы употребляют молоко, молочные продукты и яйца, но не едят мясо и рыбу. Наконец, полу-вегетарианцы едят рыбу и птицу, но не едят мясо животных. В целом, вегетарианская диета бывает весьма полезной. Вегетарианцы менее склонны к ожирению, коронарной болезни сердца, инфарктам и реже страдают от высокого давления. Но правильная вегетарианская диета должна включать все жизненно необходимые ингредиенты: белки, жиры. углеводы, минералы и витамины. В противном случае, недостаток аминокислот, кальция, железа, витаминов группы В может вызвать хрупкость костей, потерю волос и зубов, анемию и другие проблемы со здоровьем.

Another popular diet is a low-carb or zero-carb diet. Virtually, it is an analogue of a high-protein diet. Within the framework of this nutrition pattern you are allowed to eat as much protein food as you want, but high-carb food consumption is strictly limited. This diet is especially popular with sportsmen and bodybuilders. What is the best protein food? It is low-fat meat and by-products, fish and seafood, milk, cheese and eggs, nuts, leafy vegetables and non-sweet fruit and berries. So, keeping this diet you won’t stay hungry. At the same time, full abstinence from carbs can cause metabolic disorder, problems with memory, headaches and other diseases. So, a low-carb diet allows some bread (ideally — wholegrain), cereals and vegetables. But “unhealthy” carbs, such as sugar, sweets, cookies, white flour and starchy products are strictly forbidden. An important moment: keeping a high-protein diet, you should drink much water in order to avoid metabolic problems.

Еще одна популярная диета – это низкоуглеводная или безуглеводная. По сути, это аналог белковой диеты. В рамках этой схемы питания можно есть сколько угодно белковой пищи, тогда как употребление углеводов строго ограничено. Это диета особо популярна у спортсменов и бодибилдеров. Что является лучшей белковой пищей? Это нежирное мясо и субпродукты, рыба и морепродукты, молоко, сыр и яйца, орехи, листовые овощи и несладкие фрукты и ягоды. Так что, придерживаясь этой диеты, голодными вы не останетесь. В то же время, полный отказ от углеводов может привести к метаболическим нарушениям, проблемам с памятью, головным болям и прочим болезням. Поэтому, низкоуглеводная диета иногда позволяет хлеб (в идеале — зерновой), крупы и овощи. Но «вредные» углеводы, такие как сахар, сладости, белая мука и крахмалистая пища строго запрещены. Важный момент: при белковой диете следует пить много воды, чтобы избежать проблем с обменом веществ.

A low-fat diet, as the term suggests, limits fats consumption. It is particularly important for people of ripe years, especially for those prone to obesity. This diet is aimed at reducing blood cholesterol level, which, in turn, lowers the risk of ischemic heart disease. In the framework of this diet, fatty meat products are substituted with lean ones. Besides, consumption of pork, mayonnaise, egg yolk, butter, cream and whole milk is forbidden or strictly limited.

Диета с пониженным содержанием жира, как следует из названия, ограничивает потребление жиров. Она особенно важна для людей в возрасте, особенно для тех, кто склонен к полноте. Эта диета направлена на понижение холестерина в крови, что уменьшает риск ишемической болезни сердца. В рамках этой диеты жирные мясные продукты заменяются постными. Кроме этого, употребление свинины, майонеза, желтка, сливочного масла, сливок, цельного молока запрещено или строго ограничено.

The so-called South Beach Diet allows “good” carbohydrates and fats and restricts consumption of proteins. As the authors of this diet believe, good carbs are contained in wholegrain bread and brown rice. These high-fiber products are good for digesting, contain a lot of vitamins and don’t cause obesity. As for “good” fats, they are contained in fish, seafood, nuts, seeds and alligator pear. These products are enough to satisfy the human need in fats. At the same time, “bad” saturated fats contained in butter, fatty meat, margarine, sweets don’t have any value, and so, they must be excluded. Such approach has a fair amount of sense, though it is controversial, because proteins contained in meat include amino acids, which can hardly be substituted with anything else.

Так называемая «диета Южного Пляжа» разрешает «хорошие» углеводы и жиры, и ограничивает потребление белков. Как считают авторы диеты, «хорошие» углеводы содержатся в цельнозерновом хлебе и буром рисе. Эти продукты с повышенным содержанием клетчатки хорошо влияют на пищеварение, содержат много витаминов и не вызывают ожирения. Что касается «хороших» жиров, то они содержатся в рыбе, морепродуктах. орехах, семечках и авокадо. Этих продуктов достаточно, чтобы удовлетворить потребность человека в жирах. В то же время, «плохие» насыщенные жиры, содержащиеся в сливочном масле, жирном мясе, маргарине и сладостях, не имеют ценности, а значит, их надо исключить. Такой подход не лишен здравого смысла, хотя и является противоречивым, так как белки, содержащиеся в мясе, включают аминокислоты, которые сложно заменить чем-то другим.

Of course, there are a lot of other diets, apart from the described ones. All of them have their pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages. One should choose a diet taking into account personal requirements of his body, depending on age, weight, gender, way of life and other aspects.

Конечно, существует еще много диет, помимо описанных. Все они имеют положительные и отрицательные стороны, достоинства и недостатки. Человек должен выбирать диету, принимая во внимание индивидуальные потребности организма, в зависимости от возраста, веса, пола, образа жизни и других аспектов.
