“Health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, – a blessing that money cannot buy.” – Izaak Walton
Introduction Fighting Fit
Food and fitness
How much do you know about keeping fit? Do this quiz with a partner. Read the following statements and say whether they are true or false.
If you take more exercise, your appetite will increase and keep you from losing weight.
Exercise changes fat into muscle.
A good way to lose weight is to take exercise which makes you sweat heavily.
Vitamin pills can give an extra burst of energy.
Physical exercise is not necessary for losing weight. Dieting alone is enough.
To burn up the calories contained in a 4 oz (approx. 110 g) bar of chocolate you must walk for over 2 hours at 4 m.p.h. (approx, 6.5 km.p.h.).
A high protein, low carbohydrate diet is ideal for losing weight.
People who do not eat meat, fish or poultry are not as healthy as those who do.
When dieting you should avoid starchy foods such as bread and potatoes.
Eating between meals is bad for you.
A large lunch will not cause you to put on as much weight as a meal of the same size eaten in the evening.
If your diet is varied you must be getting proper nourishment.
A glass of wine or a glass of scotch will help you sleep well.
Most people need eight or nine hours of sleep a night.
Sleeping less than five hours a night shortens your life expectancy.
Laughter helps you keep fit.
How did you score?
If you answered all 16 questions right, you know all about keeping fit.
If you have more than 12 right answers you have quite a good idea about keeping yourself in top shape.
If you have less than 12 right answers you are the victim of quite a few common misconceptions and may well not be as fit as you could be.
