5 Drinks to Help You Lose Weight

People say that we can lose weight if we control what we eat and do some exercises. However,
losing weight can be simply done by controlling what we drink. There are five kinds of water that we
have to consume if we want to lose weight.

Drinking at least 8 litres of water a day will be the best choice. Water contains a lot of minerals
that are useful for our bodies. However, sometimes we get bored if we drink water all the times. If you are
bored drinking water, you can try adding fresh lemon slices, lime, cucumber, and even a slice of tomato
to add flavour, without adding many calories.

The second drink is vegetable juice. Whether in a can, bottled, or homemade, vegetable juice is
an excellent way to get the fibre and nutrients your body needs to fuel your weight loss. Vegetable juice
will keep you fuller longer. It will be better if you can find a low-sodium variety.

The third is unsweetened tea like green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. Green tea has been proven
to help boost metabolism and speed up weight loss. Black and oolong teas are filled with antioxidants,
which can help rid your body of toxins.

The fourth is black coffee. It can help spur your weight loss by providing a boost of caffeine that
suppresses hunger when you drink it in the morning and afternoon. It has also been shown to stimulate
thermogenesis, which heats up the body and boost metabolism.

The last drink is skimmed milk. Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and
calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong.

From the facts above, you can maintain your weight and your health by choosing the right drinks.

Nowadays, many people can connect with other people by using social media, such as Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, etc. so, online etiquette is definitely needed to prevent any misunderstanding, dispute,
harassment and crime.

Firstly, you do not have to add friends on social media if you don’t know them well or speak to
them only occasionally. We must keep in mind that a stranger might harm you. Secondly, you do not have
to post photos when you get drunk, drinking or doing other nonsense. Your entire life doesn’t need to be
uploaded to a public website that other people can see. But, you can still take and keep your pictures
privately. Thirdly, you have to be careful when you want to post something on your friend’s walls. You
do not need to write inappropriate things. It maybe looks funny to you, but it can just look bad to others.

You know that social media is a good place for discussions. You can share the good things.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in foods has been a serious problem for
three reasons.

Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but is is for biological specimen and experiments.
Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or
to preserve biological specimens. Thus it is not food preservative. Of course when it is used for food
preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control for the government. This condition makes the
people’s health is really in a threat. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin
and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should
be for the human and animal corpses?

The third is that the difficult economy seems not to end. This can make the situation worse. We
all know that today’s economy is very difficult. People buy daily products and fulfil their need with high
costs. Things are getting more and more expensive. Consequently, the food production cost increases. For
example, the preservation process for fish will be much cheaper if the producers use formalin. They know
the danger of formalin but they don’t care about the others’ health. What is in their mind is only how to
get profit.

Considering the reasons, we can make conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives
is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

BAD SMOKING

Smoking has become a very big business. Millions of people in the world are grouped as active
smokers. Research says that people start smoking because of peer pressure, psychological problems, and
weight problems. However, they only get away from their problems for a short time. Instead, it will cause
them other serious problems.

Smoking may cause serious respiratory problem such as bronchitis, mouth cancer or lung cancer.
A cigarette is enough to make your breath smell bad and make your teeth yellow. Psychologically,
smoking might cause lack of concentration that can affect your social life. Moreover, nicotine in a
cigarette is the most addictive substance. It is reported that cigarettes kill more people than car accident or
criminal actions.

From the reasons above, we can conclude that smoking is a bad habit that does not give us any
advantages. Smoking is one bad habit that we must avoid.

There are three reasons why solar energy generation has not developed more rapidly. First the
cost per watt of solar cell generation is more expensive that that steam power or nuclear power
generation. Therefore, researchers are still looking for ways to make solar cells cheaper. Second, nature
plays a large in solar cells generation. For example, some days are cloudy and rainy; because there is not
always fine weather, solar energy cannot be generated every day. No solar energy is generated at night.
Consequently, solar cells must have the capacity to store energy for the use during this time, and these
storage cells are very expensive. As a result, only in low latitude areas can enough solar energy can be
generated effectively at these times. Finally, building plants for solar cell generation is extremely
expensive. A very large space is needed for maintenance is constant. To illustrated, the surface of the
solar cell plant has to be cleaned daily.

For all these reasons, it is very difficult to develop solar cell plants and make solar cell energy
available to the general public for a competitive price. Despite all these problems, I believe that the day
will come when we use solar energy cells because they are a form of clean energy with no pollution.

14. What makes the solar energy generation not develop rapidly?
a. The cost per watt of solar cell generation is more expensive than the steam power
b. The researcher has found ways to make solar cells cheaper
c. Solar energy can be generated at night
d. There is always fine weather every day
e. There is no need a very large space

15. How can the solar energy be generated effectively?

a. Where there is only in low latitude areas
b. When the scientist can find a new way
c. There was nuclear power generation
d. When there is a very large place
e. When there is a fine weather
