Conditional sentences are used to talk about events that may happen only under certain circumstances. Conditional sentences have two parts: an if clause and a result clause. When we use Simple Present Tense in the if clause, and Simple Present Tense in the result clause, we call it the Zero Conditional. We use the Zero Conditional to talk about facts or things that are normally true. · If you freeze water, it turns to ice. · If you don't water the plants, they die. · If I feel sick, I don't go out. We also use the Zero Conditional to talk about causes and consequences, or to give advice based on a certain condition. · If I don't sleep well, I get a headache. · If you feel sick, go to see a doctor. Notes: · We often use When instead of If: When I get up late, I miss the bus. · When the result clause goes before the if clause, we do not use a comma to separate the two clauses. a) visit your doctor. b) you get digestive problems. c) don't eat sugar. d) visit a nutritionist. e) you usually get a headache.

Do you try to eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner at a certain time every day? 4. Are obesity and diabetes a great problem where you live? If so, why? Eating Healthy SPEAKING READING g. Read the text as you listen to it. Then, complete the chart. (Track 11) LISTENING Complete the chart with information from the article you've just read. Food is really important in our lives, after all, it’s the fuel of our body. It's important for people to eat as much as they need to give them energy. The problem is when we eat more of what we really need according to our lifestyle. If we eat too little food or the wrong food we don't have enough energy. If we eat much more of what we need, we gain weight. When we eat the correct quantity and quality of food according to our daily activities, that is what we call energy balance. Fat, for example, has a lot of calories. That’s why we shouldn’t eat too much butter, bacon, or any kind of oil. Experts say that if we eat too much fat, we can get a heart disease. Sugar is another thing that isn't good for the energy balance. Sugar has no nutrients, it only gives us energy. But, if we eat too much, we can have some serious health problems, such as diabetes. Too much sugar is not good for our teeth either. Try to avoid candy bars, ice-cream, sodas, and all those sugary treats. Fiber, on the other hand, is something that we can eat in big amounts. We can find fiber in fruits, vegetables, and grains. If we eat enough fiber, our digestive system works much better. Milk and dairy foods, such as cheese and yogurt, are good sources of protein. They also contain calcium, which helps keep our bones and teeth healthy. Proteins are essential for our bodies to grow and repair itself. Meat, fish, eggs, nuts and legumes are also great sources of protein. We must keep in mind that if we eat what our body needs, it stays healthy and we feel much better.
