Chocolate is good for you

A study carried out in Germany has found that chocolate may be good for your heart. This is fantastic news for all chocolate lovers. The extensive research was conducted over eight years. The research team followed the chocolate-eating habits and health of almost 20,000 people. They compared how much chocolate was in their diet to the number of heart attacks and strokes people had. Lead researcher Brian Buijsse said: "The good news is that chocolate is not as bad as we used to think, and may even lower the risk of heart disease and stroke." Mr Buijsse said his team found that dark chocolate was the healthiest kind to eat: "Dark chocolate exhibits the greatest effects, milk chocolate fewer, and white chocolate no effects," he said.

The German study showed that people who ate the most chocolate (at least one bar per week) reduced their risk of having a heart attack by 27 per cent. The risk of suffering a stroke was cut by as much as 48 per cent. Nutrition experts believe that natural compounds in chocolate called flavonols are good for our heart. Flavonols also help reduce blood pressure. They are found in cocoa beans so dark chocolate (which has more cocoa) contains more of them than milk chocolate (which has more fat). Buijsse warns people not to suddenly eat lots of chocolate: "Eating higher amounts will most likely result in weight gain. If people start eating small amounts of chocolate, it should replace something else, preferably other high-calorie sweets or snacks."

Casually Explained: The Food of the World

Read the text and express your own opinion as for food traditions in America.

AMERICAN FOOD

What is American food? Hamburgers and hot dogs? Fried chicken and giant steaks? Well, yes. But spaghetti and pizza are American too, and so is sweet and sour pork. The fact is that Americans eat every kind of food imaginable. There are, for example, more than 1,000 Chinese restaurants in New York City alone.

AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE

At the same time, people in the States still like to think of some kinds of food as especially American. They like the idea of the American family sitting around the table eating turkey at Thanksgiving. They like to think of ’Mom’ as the best cook in the world, even if their own mother never did much cooking. ’As American as apple pie’, and ’Like Mother makes it’ are popular expressions.

The truth is, though, that families in the US eat together less often than they used to. Instead of meeting at the dinner table, families often meet in the kitchen, around the refrigerator. There’s no time for old-fashioned cooking. Quick snacks all through the day have taken its place. And to save trouble, people eat wherever they like, in the street, in front of the TV, or at their desks.

An enormous fast-food industry gives hungry American the snacks they want when they want them. Ice cream, popcorn, and hot dogs are on sale everywhere. Best known, perhaps, is the McDonald’s hamburger business.

But if more and more Americans eat fast food, more and more Americans also worry about it. Fast food makes you fat, and Americans are the fattest people in the world. They are also the most interested in their health, and snack food is growing all the time. Among middleclass people, salads, beans, and fruit have taken the place of steak and ice cream. Drinking is going down too. Only 67 percent of adults drink alcohol at all, and one-third of those drink less than they used to. Smart businesspeople order mineral water, not wine, at their business lunches.

Being fat, in fact, can cause real problems for an American. He or she will find it harder to get a good job, or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. It doesn’t seem fair, does it? Advertisers and fast-food sellers scream at people to eat, eat, eat. But inside, there is another voice saying ’stop, stop, stop.’

Imagine that you are going to Korea and you want to something concerning Korean food.

Read some information from a site for travellers and find the answers to the following questions:

1) What is the general impression of Korean food?

2) Is the food spicy?

3) What is Kimchi?

4) Are there any Korean customs around meal times?

5) What are the supermarkets like?

6) Where can I eat out?

7) Can you drink the water?

Korean food can be very spicy for foreigners. The national food, which is a staple at each meal, is kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage. You will eat this a lot when you stay in Korea. A lot of chili peppers and garlic is used in preparing Korean food. Rice is also served with every meal. There is a large selection of spicy soups, fried rice, stews and noodle dishes to tempt your taste buds. Every meal is served with side dishes, which vary in every restaurant. You can experience the variety of food South Korea has to offer. Korean BBQ is popular among foreigners. Small pieces of meat are brought to your table and cooked right in front of you.

Most Korean food is quite spicy although there are many dishes that are not. Koreans eat Kimchi with everything. This tends to add spiciness to the meal. For less spicy foods we recommend Juk (a rice porridge); kimbab (Korean-style sushi).

You may not want to try the Kimchi when you first arrive. However, most foreigners end up acquiring a taste for it as it is unavoidable in Korea! Kimchi can be made from celery, cabbage, turnips or cucumbers seasoned with salt, garlic, onions, ginger, red pepper and shellfish or fish sauce. It is cured for a long period of time underground. No matter what, you will have a chance to try it when you arrive as Koreans eat it with almost every meal. It is usually very spicy so start with a small bite!

Table manners are extremely important in Korea and Koreans rarely eat with their fingers. It is advantageous to learn the do’s and don’ts of Korean culture. They use a spoon and metal chopsticks which makes for an interesting learning experience! Spoons are used to scoop rice, soup and stews while chopsticks are generally used to eat from the many side dishes. Using both sets of utensils at the same time is considered to be bad manners, although leeway is given to foreigners and you will probably be the centre of a friendly tease. Soup is also a vital part of almost every meal. Other dishes include seafood, meat or poultry, greens, herbs and roots. Each person has his own rice and soup bowls but all other dishes are placed in the center of the table for everyone to partake of. Often in restaurants you will be required to sit at low tables on the floor, which takes getting used to. The good news is that many restaurants offer a normal table and chair set up.

All Korean cities have department stores which often contain a large supermarket in the basement. A lot of the food you will not recognize. However, there are many similar foods to what you are used to. Supermarket shopping is an interesting experience and sometimes trial and error is the only way to learn your way around. If you are really craving food from home, there are a number of places in Seoul that specialize in international foods.

Big Western food chains like Pizza Hut, Burger King, OutBack Steak- house and TGI Fridays are popping up all over the place. Pizza is popular and there are bakeries on every corner. Japanese Restaurants are easy to find too. Fruit and vegetables are sold almost everywhere so staying healthy is easy. Don’t worry about what you are going to eat, the food is delicious, healthy and there are lots of options that will suit your needs.

Tap water in Korea’s cities will not make you sick. It may not be the best stuff in the world, but it probably won’t kill you. Many Koreans, particularly in the summer time get water from local mountain springs. You can get bottled water delivered to your home quite cheaply- with a delivery service a five liter bottle of water will cost you around USD $6. Buying bottles of water is about $1 for a 1.5L.
