Do you often eat candies and desserts? Are you crazy about cola and milk tea? Do you know these snacks and drinks have a lot of sugar? Eating too much sugar causes many health problems, even leads to high blood sugar level, which could bring us diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, liver disease or even depression.
Besides sweet food and drinks, there is hidden sugar in everyday food. For example, there is much sugar in bread and yogurt. It is hard for us to avoid sugar, but do we have to stay away from it completely? That’s impossible and unnecessary. After all, sugar is one of the energy sources that we need. What we must do is to control the sugar intake.
Here are some possible ways to help you. First, get to know how much sugar we need a day. World Health Organization (WHO) suggests adults and children should limit sugar intake to 25 grams or less every day. Then, check the ingredients list and buy food with the lowest sugar. What’s more, pay attention to our blood sugar level. Jessie Inchauspe, a French bestselling writer, shares some of her ideas to balance our blood sugar level.
· Eat foods in the right order.
Eat your vegetables first, followed by eggs and meat, then rice or bread.
· Eat vegetables before each meal.
It is better to have hot or cold green salad.
· Reach for vinegar (醋) before you eat.
This is having a teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water before meals.
· Move after you eat, within 70 minutes.
It could be going for a 10-minute walk, doing a short workout, or doing some chores.
By now, you’ve already known how to improve sugar intake patterns. However, what we do is more important than what we say. Small steps can add up. Let’s begin to make changes on our own.

1.Don't touch your face.Above all,keep your hands away from your eyes,mouth and nose,all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body.
2.Wash your hands.If you have to touch your face,wash your hands,getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water before.Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses.
3.Cover your nose and mouth.When someone sneezes or coughs,liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air and land on your nose and mouth,so it's best to keep at least an arm's length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection(感染).In order to protect others,cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze,and clean your hands afterward.Viruses can live for hours,or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards.
4.Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future.Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of getting the flu viruses by as much as 80%.But it also suggests that if you don't wash hands,the mask doesn't work well.So wash your hands and use the mask,especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also useful.
