A new study shows that many American children who eat lots of fried food are getting heavier, and they are more likely(可能) to have an unhealthy body. Many 13 to 16-year-old children were studied over the past three years. It was found that those children who ate more fried food got more weight than the normal kids.

Children who ate more fried food also ate fewer fruit and vegetables, and they ate fried food too often. If they keep their bad habits during their growing-up, the children will be heavier and perhaps be easier to get ill.

Everyone wants to be healthy. What and how should children eat then?

First, children should be encouraged to eat less fried food and to eat more healthy family dinner.

Second, parents should teach their children to choose healthier food when eating out, and help them have a well-balanced diet to keep fit.

Third, children should eat regularly(規(guī)則地). It’s said that half of the children don’t eat a regular breakfast or any food in the morning. In fact, a good breakfast can keep the body strong and help children not to overeat later in the day.

And at last, food must be cleaned and cooked properly.
