Student Nutritionists Educate on Healthy Foods 学生营养学家的健康食品教育

As unhealthy food and sedentary lifestyles become more and more widespread, it’s vital that students and adults alike are aware of ways to stave off unhealthy habits and the consequences that they bring. As part of a recent project, a group of Year 10 IGCSE students took it upon themselves to promote the message of healthy eating to Year 3 YCIS Beijing students, educating them on healthy and unhealthy foods to help ensure they make the right dietary choices when they’re older.

现如今，越来越多的人拥有不健康的饮食习惯和久坐不动的生活习惯，学生和成人们都需要知道如何避免这些不健康的习惯和它们所带来的后果。作为课程项目的一部分，一组IGCSE十年级的学生承担起责任 ， 向北京耀中三年级的学生们推进宣传健康饮食的信息，教育他们区分健康和不健康的食物来帮助确保他们长大之后能够做出正确的饮食选择。

A selection of our Year 10 students gave us some valuable insight into what foods we should try to cut out of (or at least limit in) our diet.

在这一节十年级学生给我们上的课中，我们知道了有哪些食物应该在日常饮食中严格控制或者去掉。

Breakfast Foods: Many of these foods aren’t as healthy as most people think. Foods like cereal, granola, dried fruits, and juice, all examples of what many would consider to be healthy, all contain high levels of sugar. Cereal like corn flakes that don’t seem overly sweet or harmful turn out to offer little to no nutritional value.

早餐食物：很多早餐食物并不像人们想象的那么健康。比如说麦片、水果干和果汁，这些被大家认作是健康的食品，其实含有过高的糖分。像玉米麦片这样的并不很甜，看起来对健康没有害处的麦片，实际上它也没有什么营养。

Soft Drinks: This isn’t groundbreaking news, but most single cans of soft drinks contain more sugar than you’re supposed to consume in one day. Many of our classmates who drink soft drinks often so you can imagine just how much excessive sugar they consume in a day!

软性饮料：这已经不是什么突破性的新闻了，但是很多饮料一罐中所含的糖分就高于每人每天应该正常摄取的量。对于那些经常喝饮料的同学，你可以想象到他们每天要喝进去多少糖了吗？

Excessive Oil and Carbs: In China, this is an increasingly huge problem that is directly tied to the rising obesity rate in the country. Living here, we need to be very careful about how much white rice, mantou, and other Chinese baked goods that we consume.

过多的油和碳水化合物：在中国，这个越来越严重的问题和持续增长的肥胖率息息相关。生活在这里，我们必须十分警惕每天摄入了多少中国的白米饭、馒头和其它面食。

In the end, we learned that what’s really important is to know what’s in the food you’re eating. Don’t just assume that something is healthy because you think it is or someone told you it is!

在最后需要认识到的是，我们要知道我们吃的食物里含有什么是非常重要的，千万不要自己认为或者听到别人说就觉得什么食物很健康。
