The next time you are out walking your dog, be sure to keep your eyes on the ground. Maybe you can find some treasures. That is exactly what happened to a California couple who recently happened to find the most valuable ancient gold in North America.

John and Mary, a couple, lived in Northern California's Gold Country.One day they were walking their dog along the road as usual. However, this time around, John noticed a rusty bottle sticking out(凸出) from the ground. They decided to take a closer look, and then they unearthed it with a stick and took it home.

The can was very heavy, making the couple guess that it was filled with paint. However, when John opened it and saw the side of a shiny coin, he knew he had found gold!

The couple immediately returned to the area with a small shovel to see if there were any more bottles to be found. Sure enough, they found one more. This one had broken and scattered(散开) all its treasures into the ground below. And that was not all—over the next few days the couple found six more in the area. According to the dates of the coins, as well as, the conditions of the metal cans, experts believe that the gold was buried sometime in the late 19th century, right after the California's Gold Rush. John thought that the can that was sticking out, was a mark for whoever buried the treasure there. For reasons that nobody will ever know, he/she never returned to get it back.

A Heavy Breakfast

Not having breakfast in the morning is a bad habit. It's because your stomach remains empty the whole night. So you can plan your breakfast this way. Have healthy drinks. Make brown bread and add low fat butter on it. You can also have an egg. It doesn't take much time to prepare and you can easily have them before going to school.

A Moderate Lunch

If you eat a heavy meal during your lunchtime, then you will end up feeling sleepy for the rest of a day.The choices for lunch are chicken, meat and vegetables. Have fish as often as you can and have brown rice sometimes. Chicken sandwiches are not only healthy but also delicious. Keep lunch simple and avoid adding too much oil and salt.

A Light Dinner

Keep your dinner as little as possible. For dinner, you can have a small serving of vegetables and soup. Having a light dinner is a right way to lose weight. You can also drink a cup of healthy drink, fruit smoothie or milk after dinner. When you keep your dinner light, your digestive system(消化系统) only takes very little time to break down and take in the food. This keeps a balance in your health.
