Your body, which has close relation(关系) with the food you eat, is the most important thing you
own. So it needs proper treatment(对待) and proper nourishment(营养).
The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C (维生素C). Many people take extra(额外的) vitamins in the form of pills(药丸), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins. So why waste money on them?
