Are you an Active Person?

Think about your eating habits and what you do during the day and in your free time.

Then read the text below.

Yesterday I had my Physical Education class, as I do every Wednesday. But this time it was different. I was feeling slow and tired. I love playing soccer and I'm really good at it, but yesterday my team lost. They got furious because I couldn't concentrate. At the end of the game, my teacher asked me: "What happened, Leo? Your performance was not the same today!" I said, "I don't know, Coach! I'm feeling slow... and weak, but don't know why." He asked me then, "Well, did you have breakfast this morning? Did you sleep well?" I didn't really understand what my breakfast or sleep had to do with my performance, so I answered, "Not really, Coach! I went to bed really late last night because I played video game with my brother. That's why I woke up late today and didn't have time to have breakfast! Why, Coach?" He smiled and said, "Oh, OK ... Now I understand."

Now reflect about the story and answer the question below in your online notebook:

Do you think what you eat influences the way you feel physically?

Example: Yes. I feel tired/sleepy/active when I eat chocolate/drink water, etc.
