I was thinking Barcelona. I went there last summer and I know a lot about it.

Good idea! Should we divide the topics?

Part 4
Healthy Eating Habits
Speed:
Audio — PART 4
SPEAKER: Today I want to talk about some simple habits that can improve your health. First, most nutritionists recommend eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Studies show people who do this have a lower risk of heart disease. Second, drinking enough water is essential. Adults should drink approximately two litres of water per day — more if you exercise. Many people think coffee and tea count towards this, but water is best. Third, try to eat breakfast every morning. Research suggests that people who eat a good breakfast concentrate better and make healthier food choices. Fourth, reduce processed and fast food. These are often high in salt, sugar, and saturated fat. Cooking at home is much better for your body. Finally, don't eat late at night. Eating within two hours of going to bed can disturb your sleep and affect your digestion.
