Two main theories:
According to this theory, the power of the body is due to the blood, which is continuously formed from nutrients through a complex process of unknown nature, similar to the fermentation.
The ancient theory of nutrition
Text in here
The theory of a balanced diet.
Тhe theory was based on the observance of basic principles:
- The balance between incoming energy from food consumed by man;
- Meeting the needs of the body in a certain amount and ratio of nutrients;
- Observing the diet and the time.
Energy value:
Proteins are needed to build our body .
Fat is necessary to lay the body nutrient reserves for a long term and to produce hormones.
Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy helping to work our muscles.
Food pyramid:
Food pyramid is a very flexible practical nutrition guide which everybody can rely on.
American food:
As American as apple pie
At the same time, pupils in the states like to think of some kinds of food as especially American. They like to think of «Mom» as
the best cook in the world, even if their own mother never
did much cooking.
American food:
- An enormous fast- food industry gives hungry Americans the snacks they want when they want them. Best known, perhaps, is the McDonalds hamburger business.
British food:
English breakfast
Typical English breakfast is a bacon and eggs, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans and tea and toasts .
Lunch
Popular lunches are: a salad or a sandwich; a baked potato; beans or toasts.
British food:
Dinner
Dinner is usually the main meal of the day and consists of two courses – meat or fish and vegetables followed by a
dessert or pudding. 60% of
British homes use a microwave
oven for cooking.
Afternoon tea, high tea
Afternoon tea is a small meal, not a drink.
Experimental part
- 1.Working with the scientific literature and Internet resources.
- After reviewing the literature, I learned that for the normal development of the students proteins, fats and carbohydrates are necessary in the following amounts(everyday):

Experimental part
2. I applied practices.
I conducted a study of students in grades 9-11. And with the Quetelet index revealed overweight and underweight. Body mass index is calculated as:
Body Mass Index
16 and less
Conformity between the mass of the person and his growth
6—18.5
Severe underweight
Lack (deficiency) of body weight
18.5—25
25—30
Norm
30—35
Overweight (pre-obese)
35—40
Obesity is the first degree
Obesity is the second degree
40 and more
Obesity third degree (morbid)
Results of the study:
- Applying the Quetelet’s formula, I found out.

After some investigation and the results which I have, I learned that most of the children have probably the wrong idea about how to eat to be healthy.
Conclusion.
"To prolong life, reduce the diet."
Benjamin Franklin
After studying literature and online resources, I realize that our eating habits affect our feel during the day. Food is a form of fuel. It gives us energy, helps us to grow, resist disease and form strong teeth and bones. No single food can take care of all body’s needs. Different foods do different things for the body.
- There are some many kinds of food – fast food, snacks, junk food – that it may be difficult to follow a healthy diet. Fresh food and vegetables are important for a healthy diet. There are certain sayings about foods from long ago. “Fish is brain food”, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away", "A man is what he eats”.
Recommendations:
1. The food should be varied.
2.Eat smaller portions.
3.Concentrate on your food.
4.Drink a lot of water-at least 1.5 liters.
5. Have healthy snacks.
6.Don’t eat after 7 p.m.
Have your last meal at least 2 hours before you go to bed.
