Đề thi VSTEP Reading B1 — Healthy Meal Planning

Many people today find it hard to eat healthy meals because of their busy schedules. Between work, family, and other responsibilities, cooking a fresh meal every day can feel impossible. As a result, more people are turning to fast food or processed meals, which are often high in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats. One simple solution that is growing in popularity is meal planning. This means deciding what you will eat for the week ahead of time and preparing ingredients in advance. For example, you might chop vegetables on Sunday and store them in the fridge for use later in the week. Research shows that people who plan their meals tend to eat more vegetables, consume less junk food, and spend less money on groceries. They also waste less food because they buy only what they need. While meal planning takes some effort at first, most people find that it saves time and reduces stress during busy weekdays.
