Doctors say, we need to have six meals a day.

Nowadays, it is possible to find fresh fruit at

the supermarket. Usually they are organised

by colour. You can find yellow fruit, for example,

orange, tangerine and papaya; red fruit, for

example, cherries and strawberries; green fruit,

etc. So, it makes it simple for you to select from

a range of colours.

People have different opinions about how

much is required. Some people drink just one

glass with their meal, others drink six glasses

throughout the day, and other people drink it

all day long. The truth is that we drink much

more water than what we think. Water is

everywhere, in fruit, in soups, in vegetables.

The only important thing is to give your body

one litre a day.

You may be surprised to learn that your body

does not need sugar. In fact, it is not good for

your body. Especially when it is artificial. The

sugar you find in fruit is natural and your body

processes it in a different way, but the sugar

that comes from sweets, chocolates, and sodas

is not good. Do you know how much sugar there

is in a glass of soda? The answer is between

four to six spoons, so think twice the next time

you feel like a cola or a bar of chocolate.
