II. Reading.

Read the text.

It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning biochemical factors. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 per cent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating.

Obese people have a keener sense of taste and desire more flavourful food than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and immensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and they eat much more food. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen with average-weight people. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin in our brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satisfaction, and hunger for carbohydrates.

Common Cold

Common cold is the most frequent infection in all age groups. A strong immune system is the best defence against all infections colds included. The best way is eating well, not smoking, and drinking plenty of water every day. Minimize contact with people who have colds, and don’t share towels and other things with them. Cold viruses often survive for hours on doorknobs, money, and other surfaces, so wash your hands frequently.

When you have a cold, stay at home for the first two days. When you sneeze, it can carry your cold virus up to 4 metres away, so always cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.

Regular, moderate exercises (such as walking for 45 minutes, five times a week) strengthen the immune system and make you less likely to get colds and other infections. Saunas may also help. Swedish researchers have evidence that taking at least two saunas each week can keep you from catching a cold.
