Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don't eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digestmost of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.
Egg carving (蛋雕) is often called the most fragile (易碎) art, as it needs great care before, during and even after the carving. Yu Wen, the granddaughter of a famous local (当 地) painter in Dandong, Liaoning Province, has been practicing egg carving for about 25 years.
Yu has used more than 10, 000 eggs, and years of hard work has left many thick calluses (茧) on her hands. Sometimes she can't even hold chopsticks (筷子) properly after a long day of holding the carving knife. But in Yu's opinion, the difficult process (过程) makes egg carving twice as exciting. "If you carve off too much, the work will be broken and there is no way to solve it. That makes the feeling of achievement even greater when you finish a piece." Yu said.
Yu's love for egg carving started with a local (当地的) tradition. In northeast China, when a baby is born, friends and relatives often send eggs colored red as gifts, and some may carve auspiciouswords on them. The character "福" is a popular one to be carved onto eggs. Yu carves with not only popular characters or traditional patterns (图案) , but also Peking Opera masks and wall paintings. Her egg carving is just as much about eggs as it is about Chinese culture.
Now Yu teaches egg carving at a local university. In recent years, she has seen more people coming from across the country to learn the art. "I hope I can better combine (结合) the art with traditional culture in the future." Yu said.
