How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Aston Villa Football Club are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.

Eating the right thing

A good diet is a basic part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill's sport and health experts, have chosen a secret weapon—organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said, "I chose organic food for Aston Villa because I've read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins." He believes that the best way to get vitamins is to eat the best fresh food.

Eating after the match

Head chef at Aston Villa, Lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says, "Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength."

Teaching healthy eating

Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to their club. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. "The kitchen is helping to develop a healthy way of life," he said.

A final word from the kitchen

Head chef Ian says, "Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest choice." Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself healthy, you can be a winner!

A friend invited us to help serve dinner at Tent City. A number of tents (帐篷) were set up for the homeless in that area.

I took my two boys with me. They were 9 and 5 at the time. They had a lot of questions because this whole thing challenged their common ideas about how people lived in the world.

“ Why don’t they have homes?”

“ Why don't they get food the way we do?”

We talked through the reasons why people end up in this type of situation and the importance of creating a safety net for them. I explained that many times, the only safety net is other people who are willing to share some of their time and care.

The people we served were different in age from the young to the elderly. Many of them were missing teeth or had dirty clothes. Surprisingly, they were quite thankful that I had brought the boys. Many said how fun it was to have active, joyful children around.

After dinner, I saw my older son sitting together with several elderly gentlemen who were talking about sports in front of a small television set. He was having a great time sharing and hearing stories. As some people returned to their tents, I heard him tell them, “ Thanks so much for coming to dinner with us.” I could see through their facial expressions that his simple words touched them greatly. I hugged him a little tighter as we left to go home because it touched me too.

It reminds us that treating people with respect (尊重), no matter who they are, can lift all of us up.

Money-saving Tips for Students

One problem that most university students understand is not having enough money but to save it. Here are some money-saving tips for students we think will help.

Tip 1: 1.. Write down what you spend money on, and when you spend it. Also, write down the money you get each month. Doing this will help you make better decisions about buying things.

Tip 2: 2.. But what's even better is that you can get a job in a restaurant. Some restaurants give food to their workers, so you won’t need to worry about paying for meals.

Tip 3: 3.. When you buy them from another student, you won’t even have to pay tax (税). Many students sell lots of other things when they leave. Make sure to look around for lists of used things for sale at your university, and shop at secondhand stores if you can.

Tip 4: 4.. You can save money by eating at home with family or by eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner with your roommates and share the cost.

Tip 5: 5.. This can save you 30 percent or more. Driving cars or taking the taxi can be expensive, so if you live in school, leave the car at your parents’ home.
