[江西上饶中学2020高一期中]Over the past few years,nutritional trends have grown in numbers,as more and more people are becoming aware of the positive advantages that a healthy and balanced diet can have. So it should come as no surprise that the phrase“clean eating”has been added to the Collins Dictionaries. 1
“Clean eating” is the trend that has become popular on the Internet,especially among health and fitness fans. It is a type of diet where people avoid processed(加工过的)foods,such as bacon and white sugar. 2 No chemicals are used to grow organic foods,so they are kept in their natural state and are considered“clean”. Above all,“clean eating”encourages not only a more conscious type of eating but also a lasting change in lifestyle,such as regular exercise.
The trend became more popular when the World Health Organization released its report on processed meat in 2015. 3 It links processed meat such as hams,bacon and sausages to cancer. So now many people are feeling anxious.
4 Dietitians(营养学家)have noticed an increase in the number of women becoming weak and getting anaemia(贫血症). Some of these women are having a“clean eating”diet. They lack nutrients that come from some processed foods. Experts suggest not only eating a balanced diet of more“clean food”but also taking in a small number of processed foods. 5 It is necessary that people should not feel guilty(惭愧的)if they sometimes have the food that may not belong to“clean food”.
A. But what exactly is “clean eating”?
B. But how is the phrase added to the dictionary?
C. Processed foods made with organic ingredients become more popular.
D. Instead, people mostly eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and organic foods.
E. The report says eating processed foods can be really harmful to a person’s health.
F. In addition, what is important is that people should have a healthy attitude toward foods.
G. Some people say“clean eating”helps them control their weight and stay energetic, but not everyone thinks it is a great idea.
