"It is unacceptable to still have 7 million preventable deaths and countless preventable lost years of good health air pollution. That's what we're saying when we look at the mountain of air pollution data, evidence, and solutions available. Yet too investments are still being sunk into a polluted environment rather than in clean, healthy air," said Dr. Maria Neira, WHO Director, Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health.

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.

When it comes to health, we often have fitness and food goals like losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthier, or making better food choices. Losing weight could take months. Exercising regularly could take years while eating healthier and making better food choices are hard to measure.

Before we achieve these goals, we may feel discouraged and give up. To feel motivated, we can break down these health goals into smaller and more realistic steps. Here are 4 good eating habits which will definitely help us to achieve our food goals. For those of us with diabetes, these healthy eating habits will also help us to control our blood sugar.

  • Choose water: Set a goal to drink water instead of sugar-sweetened drinks.  
  • Eat slowly: It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to send out signals that you are full. Eat slowly. Take the extra time to pay attention to what we are eating and how much.
  • Eat fruit and vegetables: Set a goal to fill half your plate with fruit and vegetables at every meal. Fruit and vegetables are naturally low in saturated and trans fat, and rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Switch to whole grains: Eating wholegrain foods such as brown rice, wholemeal bread, and rolled oats can help reduce the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. They can also help with weight management because they keep you feeling full longer and reduce the need for snacking.

These 4 good eating habits take time to develop. Be patient. These changes, no matter how small, make a big difference to our health.
