Section C
(25 marks)
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
1

Many of us may not realize or admit that we have unhealthy and even dangerous eating habits.
Undesirable eating habits are eating fewer food that have limited nutritional value, food that is
over processed or that contains inordinate amounts of fat, salt, sugar, artificial ingredients and
chemical preservatives. Replace them with good eating habits such as eating more real food.
This is food that is not overly processed and is close to its natural state such as fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, plain dairy products and fish. Making such a change will not require you to drive
miles out of your way to search for organic product in obscured health food stores. Real food is
found in any grocery store and most restaurants.
Here are some guidelines on how to eat sensibly. Make a concerted effort to reduce the
amount of over processed and junk food you eat. Always consider the quality of food that you
eat. Start reading the labels of the food to avoid buying processed food that is more artificial than
real. When reading the ingredient list, check to see if sugar, fat or salt is among the first three
ingredients. If they are, the food has more of those ingredients than anything else because
ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Now, look at the number of fat grams. For
every five grams of fat in a serving of food, you are eating the equivalent of one teaspoon of fat.
So, if one serving of a dish has twenty grams of fat, you are eating the equivalent of four-and-ahalf teaspoons of fat. Avoid eating at fast-food outlets because most of their products are deepfried or very high in fat, salt and sugar. If you do order fast-food meals, do your homework by
studying the nutritional guide available at most of these restaurants and choosing the healthiest
food on the menu.
When eating at restaurants, remember that size matters. You should not order meals with
words that indicate meals that are even larger than the standard ones; namely, combo, jumbo,
king-size and supreme. Instead, order the smallest burger on the menu. Super-sized burgers with
all the toppings such as cheese and special sauces often contain half the calories and all the fat
you should eat in a day. Avoid all-you-can-eat buffets for you are likely to overeat to get your
moneys worth. If the people you are with insist on buffet dining, opt for fresh fruits, salads with
low-fat dressings, and steamed fish. Resist the temptation to go for seconds.
A healthy diet has these two keywords: moderation and balance. You can eat a variety of
food. Varying your diet provides a greater range of nutrients. Eating the same food every day
supplies your body with the same vitamins and minerals to the exclusion of others. Watch the
portions you eat. When it comes to food, you cant have too much of a good thing. Two servings
of a low-fat food can contain as much or more fat as one percent of your total daily calories.
Consume lean meat such as skinless white-meat poultry, fish and low-fat dairy products. Limit
your intake of vegetable oils, butter, salad dressings and fried food.
Keep your cholesterol consumption low. Cholesterol is found only in food made from
animal products such as meat, dairy foodstuffs and egg yolks. Eating such food in reasonable
portions can help keep your cholesterol within healthy limits. Eat the right kind of carbohydrates.
Eighty percent of your total carbohydrate intake should come from complex carbohydrates such
as fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, barley, oatmeal and rice.
Choose lean sources of protein. The leanest sources include skinless chicken breast, egg
white, skim milk, low-fat cheese, beans, fish and bean curd. Add vegetables to almost everything
you eat. When you cook with fat, use the monounsaturated kind. Olive oil, peanut oil, and corn
oil are high in monounsaturated fat that helps lower blood cholesterol. Avoid excess sugar.
Besides contributing to tooth decay, sugar is a source of calories that can contribute to weight
gain.
Eating sensibly is not enough to ensure healthy life. Over the years, numerous studies
have shown that exercise can protect against diseases and early death. Research suggests that as
little as thirty minutes of daily workouts such as walking, cycling or swimming can make a big
difference to our health. Moderate exercise is good enough. Survival gains achieved by going
from sedentary to moderately active are greater than those achieved by going from moderately
active to very active. Walking two miles per day can prolong life. So with the combination of
healthy eating and regular exercise, we are likely to live a healthier and longer life.

Gazing at the dew drops
Or enjoying the fragrance of flowers

to be thinking of you
in the hazard of you
my younger brothers unemployed and desperate
my people disunited by politics
my friend slaughtered mercilessly
this world is too old and bleeding
