Convenience vs health: The takeaway dilemma
Feeling hungry? If you're feeling famished, what's the easiest way 1.________(cope) with your hunger? Many of us will reach for a takeaway menu and order some delicious but possibly unhealthy food. And our 2._______(increasing) busy lives add to our need to buy ready-made food on the go or delivered to home.
Eating 3.______(option) are endless, and new technology means we can feed our cravings at the push of a button. Takeaway delivery apps make 4.______(order) food quick and convenient,and during the recent novel coronavirus crisis, they provided a lifeline to those 5.______(stick) at home with nothing to cook or who lacked the skills to prepare a meal for themselves. It's estimated that in the UK alone, people eat three million takeaway meals a day, and the three biggest delivery apps together offer a choice of 100 cuisines from 60,000 restaurants. A study shows that the 6._______(frequent) of takeaways ordered is expected to increase in the future.
It's no wonder we are tempted to skip the grocery shopping, bypass the kitchen, and tuck into something 7.______someone else has prepared. But ordering a deep crust pizza, a spicy curry or a box of noodles, can come at a price both financially and to our health. Eating too much 8.________(process) and unhealthy fast food has some effect on obesity and the risk of developing certain metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. It 9.________(survey) that most people ate fast food on average two days per week. But, in the 16 to 20-year-old category, one in six ate fast food at least twice a day.

But the best advice is to find a recipe book and try making your own nutritious meal. And if you haven't got time, try ordering 10.______healthier alternative from the menu.
圖省事還是保健康? 點外賣的糾結
感覺餓嗎? 如果你感到饑餓,最簡單的應對饑餓的方法是什么? 我們中的許多人會拿起外賣菜單,點一些美味,但可能不健康的食物。 而且我們日益忙碌的生活也增加了購買現成的食物或送貨上門的需求。
飲食選擇是不計其數的,新技術意味著我們只需按一下按鈕就可以滿足我們的欲望。外賣送餐軟件使訂餐變得快捷、方便。 在最近的新型冠狀病毒危機中,這些軟件為那些困在家里沒有東西可做或缺乏為自己做飯技能的人提供了一條生命線。 據估計,僅在英國,人們每天要吃300萬份外賣,人們可以從三大外賣軟件的6萬家餐廳中選擇100種菜肴。 研究表明未來外賣訂單的頻率預計還會增加。
難怪我們不想去雜貨店購物,繞過廚房,去吃別人準備好的東西。 但是,點一份厚底比薩、一份辛辣咖喱或一盒面條,既要付出經濟上的代價,又要付出身體上的代價。 吃太多加工過的、 不健康的快餐對肥胖有一定的影響, 并有可能患上某些代謝和心血管方面的疾病。 調查發現,大多數人平均每周吃兩天快餐。 但是,在16到20歲的人群中,六分之一的人每天至少吃兩次快餐。
當然,減少鹽、糖和脂肪是使外賣食物更健康的一種方法,同時提供更小的分量。 但是,最好的建議是找一本食譜,試著自己做一頓營養餐。 如果你沒有時間,試著從菜單上點一個更健康的替代品。
