Tapescript:
TV host: Good evening! I’m Oliver and you’re watching “Teen Life”, where we answer questions
from young people. This week we have received a lot of health questions, so today we have Katherine
Jones, a food expert, to talk about healthy eating for teenagers and how food can affect their health.
Welcome and thank you for joining us, Katherine.
Katherine Jones: Good evening, and thank you for inviting me. Well, when people want to improve
their health and fitness, they often think of expensive health products and fitness programmes. But in
fact, we can solve many health problems if we just eat healthily. For example, a lot of teenagers
suffer from acnes, pimples or other skin issues, and often look for expensive skincare products. This
is not necessary because they can simply change their diets for better skin. Food with a lot of sugar
is not very good for your skin, so you should cut down on it. By contrast, brown rice, yoghurt,
watermelons, and green vegetables are great for healthy skin. Moreover, green vegetables can
improve brain health and memory, and help teens concentrate. Teenagers are still growing so they
also need food for building strong bones and muscles. Research shows that eggs, fish, butter, carrots
and sweet potatoes can help make them taller and stronger. Although food can’t replace exercise,
eating a balanced diet with all the nutrients you need, will definitely help improve your muscle
strength.
TV host: I guess “you are what you eat” after all. Thank you, Katherine.
