ANNOUNCER:Section 4.You are going to hear part of a public lecture for new students.First, look at questions 33 to 35.Now listen and answer questions 33 to 35.
John:Uh. Good morning. Good morning everyone. And welcome to our regular lecture on health issues.Um. The series of lectures is organized by the Students' union, and is part of the union's attempt to help you.The students of this university to stay healthy while coping with study and social life at the same time.So it's a great pleasure for me to welcome back Ms Diane Greenbaum.Who is a professional dietician, and who has been kind enough to give up her time, in what I know is a very hectic schedule, to come along and talk to us today.
Diane Greenbaum:Thank you, thank you very much, John.May I say it's a pleasure to be back.Now stresses at university, being away from home and having to look after yourselves, uh, learning your way around the campus.All contribute to making it quite hard sometimes to ensure that your diet is adequate.So today, I'm going to talk about ways of making sure that you eat well, while at the same time staying within your budget.
ANNOUNCER:Now look at questions 36 to 41.As you listen to the second part of the lecture, complete the notes and diagram in the spaces provided.
Diane Greenbaum:If you have a well balanced diet, then you should be getting all the vitamins that you need for normal daily living.However, sometimes we think we're eating the right foods, but the vitamins are escaping.Perhaps as a result of cooking, and anyway we're not getting the full benefit of them.Now if you lack vitamins in any way, the solution isn't to rush off and take vitamin pills, though they they can sometimes help.No, it's far better to look at your diet and how you prepare your food.So, what are vitamins?Well, the dictionary tells us they are "food factors essential in small quantities to maintain life".Now, there are fat soluble vitamins which can be stored for quite some time by the body.And there are water soluble vitamins which are removed more rapidly from the body, and so a regular daily intake of these ones is needed.OK, so how can you ensure that your diet contains enough of the vitamins you need?Well, first of all, you may have to establish some new eating habits.No more chips at the uni canteen, I'm afraid.Now firstly, you must eat a variety of foods.Then you need to ensure that you eat at least 4 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.Now you'll need to shop two or three times a week to make sure that they're fresh, and store your vegetables in the fridge or in a cool dark place.Now, let's just refresh our memories by looking at the healthy diet pyramid.OK, can you all see that?
John:Hmm. Yep.
Diane Greenbaum:Good.Well now as you see, we've got three levels to our pyramid, at the top, in the smallest area.Are the things which we should really be trying to avoid as much as possible, things like yes, sugar, salt, butter, all that sort of thing.Uh. Next on the middle of our pyramid, we find the things that we can eat in moderation, uh, not too much though, and that's where we find milk, lean meat, fish, nuts, eggs.And then at the bottom of the pyramid are the things that you can eat lots of, because they're the things that are really good for you.Uh. Here we have bread, vegetables, and fruit.So, don't lose sight of your healthy diet pyramid when you do your shopping.
ANNOUNCER:That is the end of section 4.You now have half a minute to check your answers.
