My Paragraphs For Our Presentation

A healthy diet prevents diabetes, heart disease and various types of cancer. 1 out of 10 cancers can be linked to diets that can help our body. Healthy diets maintain weight, improves mood, helps you look younger and helps you live longer “It’s your choice.”

Firstly the digestive system includes : Mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, gall bladder and anus. Esophagus-connects the throat to the stomach. Pancreas-a large gland behind the stomach. Cells organize and form tissues that organize and form organs. Without nutrients cells can die or fail to function like they should. Your body needs antioxidants to function properly.

Secondly junk food is an example of a bad diet or what not to eat. Junk food is processed junk, the way you can tell it’s processed is that it's packaged food. Junk food slows down the digestion when you eat it, it makes the stomach swollen Your food absorbs by the intestine which needs fiber and water to separate.

You need to check what’s in season because some foods could be horribly out of season and I could upset your digestive system if you eat foods that are out of season.  

So now you’ll understand about the differences between an unhealthy and healthy diet is, it may be scary for you but it all adds up at the end. Just remember that some healthy diets can prevent you from getting different diseases like heart disease, various types of cancers and diabetes.

Plan for Project

What can diets do to our eating system ?

• Why is a diet a diet ?
• How do diets help us ?
• What’s so important about a diet that is so important for our body ?
• What things are good to have in a diet ?

We are making a slideshow and printing out the slides so we can stick it on a poster board.

WOW factor gives us 10 extra points.

We need to figure out what tools we need to use for our presentation like,

Poster board, colourful pens/felts/pencils, slides to print, we need to have something that will give us the wow factor, sticky notes,

We need to keep notes of what we eat.

So that we can take a picture of it and put it on the presentation board.

Are diets good or bad for you?

It depends what kind of diet you're having. Some are good and some the opposite.

What an diets help us with?

Diets help you have a smaller chance at having heart disease, cancer and other diseases. They help us with lots of things like weight and just even if you want to eat healthy.

What are different types of diets are there?

There are:

- Vegetarian Diets

- Detox Diets

- Weight Control Diets

And way more!

What is a diet?

A diet is when you go off normal food for a period of time and (above) choose your diet, then you only have that source of food for that time e.g. if you had a no-sugar diet for 7 days you would eat no sugar for a week!

What diets make you most hungry?

I would say mostly detox diets because they give you only 1 source of food like if you have a lemon detox that would mean that you would only drink lemon juice for a week or so. That's why that makes you hungry because you have no food for that particular diets

Are you a couch potato well know for a fact that i’m not, i’m just too active for that, I do lots of different types of things to keep active like sport. I eat healthy (well most of the time), I have a very good appetite and I always eat big dinners I drink loads of water. I am pretty active I reckon more active than my parents were at the age that I am at now.

I play more sports than my parents did when they were at my age because I do lots like Gymnastics, Netball and I do PAL’s as well. I used to do way more than what I do now. I really enjoy these sports because it allows me to get more fit by running and reffing games in PAL’s. Running around in gymnastics is fun and doing 50 chest passes in netball. I just love sport and try to make it to every event so I can participate.

I eat healthy (Well most of the time) My parents also ate round about the same amount of nutritious food as what I am eating at the moment. I eat healthy food to absorb the nutrients and to keep active for when I get older. Nutrients is just like fibre lots of fruit and vegetables have nutrients inside it and I try to keep down on dairy food like cheese. My parents and I eat around the same amount of nutritious foods, I think Mum  ate just maybe a little healthier because every night she had like meat and vegetables when she was younger, they were not allowed to leave the table unless all there food was gone.

I drink roughly about the same amount of water as my parents did. As a sporty family we like to keep up the fluids. We love to play sports and now that we have my uncle living with us we love to play rugby. Me and my Mum we do shots at the netball goal at home and I practise gymnastics everywhere I can. I drink water to keep up with the sports I do and as in gymnastics I just recently moved up to level 5. Without keeping hydrated it makes me feel really sick, down and grumpy. I found out that 55% of the average human body should be water. You always sweat when you exercise the sweat is released water from your body so if you sweat too much you will get dehydrated.

Were you or your parents more active when they were your age, well that’s up to you to figure out. I definitely think that I was more active just because I keep up with my sport.

Little White Lies

Too terrified to look. Too afraid to peep. As I heard noises coming from that hole the builders made in our kitchen wall.  As I crept down the dark gloomy hallway I saw the staircase getting bigger and bigger as I got closer. I tiptoed down the stairs, I was scared that it would be a monster but I knew it wasn’t. There was a feeling inside me that reached into my brain and took every emotion except fear. I’m not a little kid any more, I have to be brave.

I snuck into the light and it was just my cat Candy, it was making weird noises scratching at the cover dad put over the hole. I saw the mess and saw all the bubbles from the dish soap flying everywhere from mum doing the dishes. “Mum, I heard a monster!”

“Come on Dan, it was just the insinkerator we were putting the food scraps from supper in the disposal.” I thought to myself it was just the disposal how was I afraid of that.

As I carried Candy back upstairs I heard Mum coming up stairs to tuck me up in bed again, I held Candy tighter as Mum left the room. Mum was in her bathrobe and I knew that that would be the case of her about to get in the shower.  As I drifted off to sleep I thought, “Tomorrow will be annoying because of the incident that happened last week at school…”  The morning came.   I woke up, got up, opened my curtains, put my bathrobe on and headed downstairs for breakfast. The cupboard creeked open as I turned the light on in the pantry and grabbed my fruit loops off the shelf. I sat at the kitchen counter and ate my breakfast. Before I knew it I was at school, I had to take the bus today because mum had an appointment at the salon for her hair.

As I walked through the gates to my school I had that memory of last night going through my head. The mean kid Jerry was standing right next to the gate and it looked like he was waiting for me. He was standing right next to the trash, there were flies all over him. It looked like he went dumpster diving. In class I could not stop thinking about the noises of last night they just seemed scarier than Candy scratching at the cover, “I have to go home and put Candy outside before she makes me scared again. So I raced home it felt like I got there faster than a heartbeat. Anyway I got back to class I was so late it was morning tea break…
