HEALTHY EATING
T a s k O n e. Read, Translate and sum up the main facts from the article below.
It is commonly assumed that eating a healthy diet is rather expensive. This might mean that eating healthily could prove difficult
for people who need to live on a budget, such as low income families or students. The rising food prices, but also the rising costs of
other items such as fuel, can aggravate the situation in many households. The costs of some food items are up to 20 per cent higher
than a year ago. And this trend seems to continue.
However, eating a healthy diet doesn’t have to be expensive. There are many ways to reduce the cost of food. Here you can find
some top tips that can help you eat a healthy diet even with limited resources.
What is a healthy diet?
A healthy diet…
is based on starchy foods such as bread, pasta or rice – choose whole meal variants whenever possible – includes plenty of fruits
and vegetables – try to include one or two portions of vegetables or fruit with each meal, so that you reach at least 5-a-day, includes
moderate amounts of protein sources such as fish, lean meat, pulses, eggs, includes moderate amounts of dairy products – choose the
low fat alternatives where possible, includes small amounts of fats – the quality of fat is very important, choose fats that are low in
saturated and high in unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. margarines, plant oils such as olive oil, sesame seed oil, sunflower oil etc.), should
contain only small amounts of foods with a high content of fat, sugar and/or salt.

Smart food shopping tips for a healthy diet
Here are some tips how to eat a healthy diet without exceeding your weekly budget.
1. _____ for the whole week, make a list and stick to it. This will stop you making impulse buys of things you don’t need. Also,
planning what you’re going to eat during the next couple of days will limit the amounts of food wasted because they’ve gone off.
2. _____ ingredients at home. This will help stop you from spending money on take-aways or food delivery services. Foods
such as pasta or canned and frozen vegetables, fish or pulses last a long time and are perfect for keeping in stock.
3. _____ by special offers such as 3-for-2. Special offers can only help to save money if the item is on your list. If it is not on
your list you probably don’t need it.
4. _____ Shop around and compare prices to find out which shops offer the best value for different products. Try nt to rely on
"corner shops" too often as these may be more expensive. Fruit and vegetables are often cheaper at markets than in supermarkets, as
farmers can sell their products directly.
5. _____ in batches and freeze them. This tip is particularly useful for single households or students. It can often be expensive
buying small packets of ingredients, and if you are only cooking for one or two people there is a chance that left over ingredients may
go to waste.
6. _____ fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables that are not in season in the UK are often transported over long distances and
so can be rather expensive. Try to buy local fruits and vegetables that are in season – this is cheaper and also better for our
environment. In winter, frozen, dried and canned fruit and vegetables are a good alternative – and they also count towards our
recommended 5-a-day. Just try to avoid vegetables that are canned in salted water and fruit canned in syrup.
7. _____ on so-called "super foods". It is important to eat a whole variety of fruit and vegetables; but no single fruit or
vegetable is superior to the rest. Foods labelled ‘super foods’ are often expensive, and it is not necessary to eat lots of these to eat a
healthy diet.
