Task 4. Read and translate the text: 

Nutritionists classify food by groups. They say that the human body requires a balanced mixture of food from all the main food groups: carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, fibre and minerals. The secret of good heath is to eat a balanced diet, with the right amount of food, and to take plenty of physical exercise. When there is an imbalance – for example if you eat too little or too much, or when one of the food groups is missing from your diet – this can cause vitamin deficiency, illness, and even death. If there is no treatment and the diet does not change, death is a possibility. One example of this is the problem of obesity – this is when a person is dangerously overweight. Obesity is most common in developed countries. The imbalance comes from eating a diet which is high in fat, sugar and salt, and in not eating enough fruit, vegetables and fibre, and not burning the extra calories through physical exercise. In the case of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, the imbalance leads to weight loss, when a person eats less than they need. Sufferers are mostly teenage girls – they either starve themselves in order to lose weight, or eat a lot of food at once (binge-eating) and vomit up all the food later. They often end up in hospital, and after emergency life-saving treatment they receive psychiatric help and counselling.
