Obesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Children obesity is also at an all-time high.

    Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much body-fat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored (储存) as fat by your body.

    The following are the major factors (因素) that increase the risk of obesity.

    What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fattening food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.

    If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.

    The chances of your being obese are greater if your parents are obese.

    There are many psychological (心理的) factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.

    Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight.

    Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.

Everybody knows that healthy eating habits are very important. Here are five good eating habits for you. I'm sure you will live a healthy and happy life if you follow them. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Drink about 8 cups of water every day. You may need even more water when you do exercise. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You will have more energy（能量）after you eat breakfast. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Don't eat junk food or food that has much fat for lunch. They are bad for your health. If you don't have enough time to have a health y lunch, bring some bread with you for a quick lunch. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Fruit and vegetables should be a necessary part of your food. You can have a vegetable salad for your lunch. If you don't like eating vegetables, you can eat some fruit. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Try to have dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. Your body needs time to digest（消化）most of the food. 

Do you like listening to mom？You may say no. Lately，scientists know the reason for it. They find that kids' brains （大脑） enjoy their mothers' words. But when they get older，they like listening to friends' words. 

A scientist named Danel Abram scan （扫描） students' brains （ages from 7 to 16）. When they listen to mothers' words，their brains are active. Students aged 7-12 years answer mom's words more actively. But starting from ages 13 to 14，students talk more with friends. 

Why is this？First，when we grow up，we have more time to study and play with friends，so we think what other people think is more important. Second，this is a time when we think and see the world in our own eyes. 

Next time，when your parents feel sad about this，you can share your feelings and tell them reasons. Anyway，we are sure to grow up and say goodbye to our yesterday's life. 

In this coming winter vacation, the Students' Union will hold some activities in and out of school: If you want to join them, take a look at the notices and make your own decision.
