Four Mistakes about Eating

How do we eat? It seems to be a ridiculous question. As we know, eating is closely related to health. Eating is easy, but healthy eating is rather difficult. In fact, most people can not eat in a correct or scientific way. In general, there are four mistakes about eating. 
The first mistake is about breakfast. Many people, especially office workers, do not have breakfast. It is harmful to our health. Breakfast provides nutrition and energy for activities of a whole day. Some people skip breakfast in order to lose weight. But scientists tell us if we do not have breakfast for a long time, there are high risks for us to get obesity. In other words, when we eat lunch with an empty stomach, we tend to eat too much fatty and high-calorie food. Therefore, do have healthy breakfast every day. Healthy breakfast should include defatted milk or yoghurt, oats or bread, and fruit. 
The second mistake is about soup and water. People are suggested to drink adequate water everyday because water helps with the balance of body liquid. However, it is not scientific to have rice and soup at the same time. When people eat rice and soup at the same time, they tend to swallow them without much chewing. Such an action would load heavy burdens on the stomach. Moreover, the soup would dilute saliva and digestive juice so that indigestion would occur from time to time. 
The third mistake is related to carbohydrates. There exist two types of carbohydrates in the world. One type is called simple carbohydrates, which provide sugar for the human body. They are alos rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers. Food such as sugar, honey, jam and carbonated drinks contains this type of carbohydrates. The other type is named complex carbohydrates, which mainly offer starch. They make people feel full quickly, but they are not nutritious at all. Food like bean, potato, corn and wheat supplies complex carbohydrates. A healthy diet should provide people with sevens kinds of carbohydrates, and 10% of which should belong to the first type. But in reality, people would like to eat rice and ordinary bread instead of whole-wheat bread. Consequently, diseases, such as heart diseases, cancer and diabetes trouble people a lot. 
The fourth mistake is that many people do not pay attention to the balance of diet. Food of different colors contains different nutrition. For example, red food usually provides lycopene, while green vegetables supply a large amount of chlorophyll. Our diet must offer vitamins, folic acid, minerals and fibers at the same times. Therefore, experts advise us to eat at least five kinds of vegetables and fruit each day. A healthy diet helps people prevent cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
