Good health habits Bad health habits-Super foods

III. Read the following text about superfoods.

The term “superfood” is a fairly new term referring to foods that offer maximum nutritional benefits for minimal calories. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. No standard criteria or legal definitions classify any food as a superfood at this time. However, most superfoods are plant-based.

They contain a high volume of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Antioxidants are natural molecules that occur in certain foods. They help neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are natural byproducts of energy production that can wreak havoc on the body.

Antioxidant molecules decrease or reverse the effects of free radicals that have close links with the following health problems: heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc.

COMMON SUPERFOODS

Studies have demonstrated that superfoods high in antioxidants and flavonoids help prevent coronary heart disease and cancer, as well as improving immunity and decreasing inflammation.

Regularly eating fruits and vegetables also has strong associations with a lower risk of many lifestyle-related health conditions and overall mortality.

The nutrients they contain help promote a healthy complexion, nails, and hair and increase energy levels.

They can also help maintain a healthy weight.

BERRIES

The higher levels of flavonoids in berries have been shown to lower the risk of a heart attack. A few commonly identified superfood berries include acai berries, blueberries, raspberries, tart cherries, cranberries, and goji berries.

SOY

Some research demonstrates that isoflavones in soy help reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

A few studies have shown that soy may prevent age-related memory loss. Soy isoflavones might also reduce bone loss and increase bone mineral density during menopause, as well as decreasing menopausal symptoms.

TEA

Tea contains few calories, helps with hydration, and is a good source of antioxidants.

Catechins, potent antioxidants found primarily in green tea, have beneficial anti-

inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.

A study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology examined the effects of

green tea, white tea, and water consumption on stress levels in 18 students.

The study suggested that both green and white tea had reduced stress levels and that white

tea had an even greater effect. Larger studies are necessary to confirm this possible health

benefit.

SALMON

The high omega-3 fatty acid content in salmon and other fatty fish, such as trout and herring, can decrease the risk of abnormal heartbeats, reduce cholesterol and slow the growth of arterial plaque.

OTHER SUPERFOODS

Some other Super Foods are leafy greens, dark chocolate, wine, grapes, garlic, turmeric, and barley.

VI. GRAMMAR TIME. Pay attention to this short lesson about ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY.

How do you use frequency adverbs in a sentence?

Hay 2 maneras de ubicar los verbos de frecuencia en una oración:

Si utilizas adverbios de frecuencia dentro de una oración que tiene los verbos To Be (am, is, are) o tiene verbos auxiliaries (verbos que van unidos antes del verbo principal), estos van DESPUÉS de los verbos.

¿Cada cuánto tiempo estudias gramática inglesa? ¿A menudo? ¿O casi nunca? Un aspecto fundamental cuando aprendemos cualquier idioma es saber concretar cada cuánto tiempo hacemos las cosas. Para ello, en inglés, igual que en español, solemos usar los adverbios de

frecuencia.

Si utilizas adverbios de frecuencia dentro de una oración que tiene cualquier otro tipo de verbos (eat, jump, read, dance, etc.), estos van ANTES de los verbos.
