Nowadays more and more people in the world are getting fatter, which troubles them a lot. In the past 25 years, the number of the people with obesity （肥胖症）in Europe has grown fast. Experts say that it has a lot to do with our eating habits.
Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body.①Most of us prefer eating sweets and ice cream to eating meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite（食欲）.
②It's important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth.A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.
