Healthy Food for Wealthy Life
Nowadays people are getting more and more health conscious.
Nutritionists and doctors always advise us to eat healthy food.
Most of us ignore the advice and eat whatever our taste buds prefer.
We eat more of tasty food without paying much attention to healthy food.
The quantity of food we eat also determines our health.
Food taken more than the requirement is only digested partially and the rest acts as a foreign substance.
Hunger is the natural expression of the needs of the system and appetite is the index for the quantity of food to be taken.
The nutritional quality of various kinds of foods is being described in a most popular language to feed the brains of the common men and women.
The lists of healthy foods are being published in books and health magazines.
‘Do not eat junk food’ is a slogan we hear from the four corners of the world.
Still the restaurants selling the junk food are increasing in number all over the world.
Mostly young people are trapped by the chain of food stalls which impart an injurious habit.
Americans eat more of junk foods than any other nationals, because of their multiplicity and availability.
Healthy food is one which has less oil (fat), salt and spices.
But our tongue looks for oily, salty and spicy foods for a better taste.
How to compromise?
In fact, diet influences every aspects of our life including our mood, body weight, sexuality, fertility, life span etc.,
Breakfast followed by lunch, evening snack and night dinner is a set pattern followed by everyone in the world, with slight modification at times.
Whatever healthy food we eat should be digested before we take the next course of food.
Better digestion takes place only when we do physical exercise.
In other words, calories have to be burnt to gain energy to do work.
Reducing the body weight is one of the major problems faced by a good lot of people in most of the developed countries.
Obesity has become almost a disease to fight with.
In fact, vegetable and fruits are considered to be healthy foods, because of their fibre and mineral contents.
Non vegetarians get animal proteins from fish, mutton, beef and chicken.
Milk and its products such as curd, cheese and cream contain most of the essential nutrients we require.
Similarly, egg also is a good source of protein.
It is always debated whether vegetarian diet is superior to non vegetarian diet.
There are arguments for and against each type of diet.
One thing acceptable from these arguments is the selection of food to eat depends on the climatic conditions in which one lives.
People living in temperate region prefer non vegetarian diet whereas people in the tropics prefer vegetarian diet.
Healthy food for children, middle aged and aged people will also vary.
Food nutrition is a good field of specialization.
Standards have been fixed for good food based on their chemistry.
Dieticians know much about the standards and they also know about what to eat and what not to eat.
Because of greediness for excess production of food for the ever increasing population, all sorts of adulteration take place.
Such adulterations are not known fully well to the people who consume such foods.
Production of most of the agricultural products is subjected to poisonous pesticides and other chemicals.
Animals and birds are being injected with excess doses of antibiotics and growth promoting hormones.
The reseals as well as the accumulated substances are accompanied with the consumed meat creating trouble to humans.
Therefore, the movement of organic agriculture is gaining importance in every country.
Food safety is the talk of the day.
Safe food and environment are needed for human health.
Thus healthy food has a number of dimensions.
One has to take care of his or her health by going through the details of healthy food.
Strict control on the food we eat is essential to achieve a healthy life for a happy stay in this Planet.
Let us not neglect the habit of taking only healthy food and feeding our children with it.

All life is valuable.
How well off you are shouldn't come into it.
I'm certainly not a wealthy person, but I do not fall into the first category at all. Life is what you make it and I have a wonderful family and a partner who loves me as I love him.I don't lead an extravagant lifestyle but I have travelled. I have a good job and lead the best life I can and that includes helping those less fortunate than myself.
Why do you have to stereotype people?

Hi Jatice ~
Well done and to the point. This is good, muscular prose, making a strong point in a straight-ahead way.
“Unnatural Causes” is a documentary that (OMIT "purports to") bringS attention to health disparities (OMIT "that exist") in the United States. (OMIT "of America.) ACCORDING TO THIS FILM, the United States government IS FAILING to provide (OMIT "tax-paying") ALL ITS citizens with a fair and equal distribution of health care services. (OMIT "despite its wealthy status.") “Unnatural Causes” DEMONSTRATES that race and class (OMIT "status") are key determinants of health (OMIT COMMA) and (OMIT "thus") life expectancy (OMIT "rates.") It argues (OMIT "further") that access to essential health services can be determined by zip code. (OMIT "Accordingly,") Wealthier Americans have BETTER access to (PREVENTIVE, not PREVENTATIVE) health care, BETTER FOOD, AND A BETTER quality of life.
BESIDES INCOME, health status is ALSO heavily influenced by race. (OMIT "The realities of") Health disparities translate into race- and class-specific (ADD HYPHENS) afflictions. Research (OMIT "studies") showS that African-Americans suffer higher rate of chronic disease than whites. African-Americans (DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE TO FORM A PLURAL) die earlier THAN THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS. THEY develop diabetes at two times the rate OF WHITE AMERICANS. High blood pressure, infant death, (COMMA AFTER DEATH) and coronary heart disease are ALSO MORE prevalent in African-American communities. (OMIT "proving that") (THE REST OF THIS WAS RELOCATED TO THE BEGINNING OF THIS PARAGRAPH)
(OMIT "It is determined that that") Class (OMIT "may also") determineS the LIKELIHOOD that a person will be diagnosed with diabetes: Research HAS FOUND that ALMOST 14% OF Americans (OMIT "that living") with diabetes earn under $20,000 annually, COMMA while only 6.5% (OMIT THE WORD "percent" AND USE THE SYMBOL) of Americans earning $80,000 annually live with diabetes. The same is true for heart disease.(LOWER CASE LETTERS FOR HEART DISEASE). Poorer Americans are more likely to develop heart disease than are their white counterparts. (COUNTERPARTS IS ONE WORD)
The documentary asserts that public policy initiatives can (OMIT "help to better") manage health disparities in the United States. Economic policy is health policy. Health experts suggest that narrowing the income gap may help to reduce health disparities. <– I THINK THIS ESSAY ENDS HERE
(THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE DOES NOT HAVE A MEANING: "Policy makers must find creative ways to constrain the way hierarchy effects human beings." DRAW IT OUT OR DELETE IT) (THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE MAY NOT HAVE ANY FUNCTION IN THIS PARAGRAPH: "Health experts advocate for PREVENTIVE measureS to improve the quality of life of less affluent Americans.")
ALL THE REST IS TOO VAGUE. SPECIFY WHAT YOU MEAN OR DELETE THIS WEAK AND VAGUE ENDING. "Social conditions need to improve and public health officials argue that the way to accomplish this is by taking the pressure off of the individual and pressuring the government to change social conditions that contribute to poverty and stress."

DEAR STUDENT:
"Preventive" is the adjective. "Preventative" is a noun.
"The words are often used interchangeably to denote whatever prevents something else happening or occurring, especially when it is undesirable. However, preventative is often applied to an actual object, especially in noun form, while preventive is mostly reserved for an abstract concept, and remains an adjective:"
"Preventive medicine regards vitamin C as an effective preventative against colds."

It may be that your essay really ends at this passage: "Economic policy is health policy. Health experts suggest that narrowing the income gap may help to reduce health disparities." If so, and if everything that follows is just sort of fact-free and purpose-free add-ons (presumably because you did not know how to get out of the essay), you could consider switching the order of these last two sentences to give yourself an ending with a bang:
"Health experts suggest that narrowing the income gap may help to reduce health disparities, because — according to "Unnatural Causes" — economic policy is health policy."
