　　It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a direct link between eating habits and health．Heart disease causes the loss of 180,000 lives in Britain every year．At least two million British people are believed to have heart problems．What can be done about this?

　　Let us begin by looking first at nutrient needs：

　　This table shows that there is not much difference between the nutrient and energy needs of adults and children over the age of five．Even though children are much smaller, they need large amounts of all nutrients because they are growing．In fact, they need more calcium and Vitamin D than adults, to ensure that their bones and teeth are strong．

　　British eating habits are changing．There is a much greater variety of foods to choose from nowadays．Also, the population is realizing how choice of food can affect health．As a result, people are eating less fat, sugar and salt and more fiber-rich foods．This is undoubtedly doing a lot to reduce heart disease．For example, research in 1983 by the U．K．Department of Health and Social Security into children’s eating habits showed that：

　　－30% ate too much fat;

　　－many diets were too heavily dependent on chips, cakes and biscuits;

　　－it has not been found out that any of the children were suffering for lack of these nutrients; children who were out of school at lunchtimes at cafés, fast food shops, etc．had lower intakes of many nutrients than other children．In particular girls were short of iron．

　　To reduce the risk of heart disease, there are two major changes that are needed in the way people in Britain eat：

　　1)the amount of fat eaten must be reduced;

　　2)the amount of foods rich in fiber must be increased．If this is done, then the British people will be much healthier．
