FOOD AND MOODS - WWW-ELLLO.ORG-
I was browsing through a bookshop today and I picked up a book on food,
which is quite usual for me cause I love food, em, but this book was a bit
different, em, it tried to make the connection between the kind of food you
eat and how it makes you feel so, for example, sometimes if I'm, if I'm a
bit sad, we’ll say, I think to myself, oh, I’d love some chocolate and that
will make me feel better, and sometimes it does, or it feels like it does anyway.
I’m not sure if that really works, but the author of this book seemed to think
that there’s a definite link between, what you, you know, what you eat and
how you feel, or how it makes you feel. She talks about things like, em, yeah,
things like chocolate and other sweet things. She says that it releases endorphins,
so that, you know endorphins are chemicals, they kind of, they make you feel good,
I think is the idea. They help you deal with stress as well as she says, so yeah, that
seems to, that seems to work, I think. One of my friends told me recently that
when she feels a bit, a bit sluggish as if she doesn’t have much energy, she’ll
go to a restaurant or go home and cook some meat cause she feels that that
gives her, gives her energy, so I was interested to read today that this author,
she mentions how sometimes the body will feel a need to, I don’t know, to be
more sharp, or to have energy and that sometimes that means that you need protein
and protein obviously would comes from meat. It seems to work for my friend
anyway, but I haven’t tried it myself anyway.
HEALTHY EATING
Young people should:
Cut down on carbohydrates, fatty food, junk food, pizzas…
Do sport regularly
Have a balanced diet
Eat 5 pieces of fruit a day: pineapple, watermelon, melon, orange,…
Vegetables: tomato, carrot, lettuce, pumpkin, courgette
Stir-frying is better that deep-frying
Stir-fried veggies are better than deep-fried.
Chips
Fried haddock
hake
It will be a good idea if you walk to work instead of driving.
It would be fantastic if you took up some sport activities, such as tennis or basketball

I still remember that time when I had some hopes that Real Madrid was a possible winner of the Spanish league.
So there was this fantastic match on TV, Barça-Real Madrid, and I was excited about it. I usually like watching matches like these in pubs.
So, I arranged to meet my friends in a pub called ‘Trastero’, just a bit before the match. I remember I was wearing jeans with a stripy T-shirt (USE ADJECTIVES TO ‘DECORATE’ YOUR DESCRIPTIONS)

BRAINSTORMING - TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS
Please be careful with pickpockets, especially in tourist places, like the main squares.
You should keep/bear in mind that some shops/museums close for the lunchtime (14.00-17.00). So it’d be a good idea if you didn’t plan any visit to places like…
Please make sure you check the timetables of museums beforehand
You shouldn’t really be shocked if we speak very loudly, or we touch each other very much. Mediterranean people are like this.
If most cities in Andalusia, there are gipsy women, who pretend being fortune tellers, offering you some rosemary to tell your future. Please, try to avoid them because if you start speaking to them, you will be lost.
You can sunbathe, even in winter
You can get a suntan
