Hiroto
Hi, my name is Hiroto. I’m 45, and I live in
Osaka, Japan. I’m the coach of a men’s tennis team at a university. I’m also a
personal trainer, which means I help people when they are working out at the
gym. For my job, I have to be in shape, but that’s easy for me because I love
sports and working out. I exercise a lot, so I eat a lot, and sometimes I don’t
eat healthily. I don’t like to cook, so I often eat protein bars and drink
energy drinks. These things often have a lot of sugar, which is bad for you no
matter how much you exercise. And, I know I should eat more real food, like
eggs and fish and meat, for protein. Also, I have to get more fresh foods, like
fruit and vegetables, into my diet.
Ivan
Hi, I’m Ivan. I’m 50 years old. I live in Lima,
Peru, where I work as a chef in a seafood restaurant. I eat healthy because I
love cooking with fresh ingredients, like fish and vegetables. But, I work long
hours. In the morning I go to the market to choose the fish for the restaurant.
Then, I go to the restaurant. I’m usually there until at least 11 p.m. I’m on
my feet all day, but don’t exercise. I’m not overweight, but exercise is good
for you even if you’re not heavy. I don’t work on Sunday or Monday, but I
usually spend those days with my family. I just don’t have the time to
exercise.
Gloria
Hi, my name is Gloria. I’m 30 and I live in Sao
Paulo, Brazil. I work for a large international company and travel for work at
least one week of every month. I like my job, but there is a lot of stress.
Stress and traveling mean that I don’t get enough sleep. I don’t know if this
is a bad habit, but I love coffee and I drink a lot of it. I do eat healthily,
though. I never eat fast food. If I don’t have time to prepare something
healthy then I buy a salad. I eat a lot of fish, but don’t eat red meat. And I
exercise. I enjoy yoga. And when I’m traveling for work, I use the hotel’s gym.
It’s usually very nice, and sometimes has a pool.
