Unit 2 Healthy Lifestyle 健康是自然所能给我们准备的最公平最珍贵的礼物！ 我们平时所谓的健康的生活方式一般主要是体现在生活中的一些细节里面的，比如： 1、合理的作息规律：其实不管是什么时候合理的作息规律是拥有一切健康生活的基础。中医上讲，晚上十一点前入睡，也就是少熬夜，对人体的五脏可以起到很好的调节作用； 2、饮食科学规律：生活中人们由于种种原因，忽视了饮食的合理安排，往往是吃大鱼大肉，各种刺激的食物，对蔬才等一些食物却很少去吃，这样会导致身体营养不均衡； 3、多运动：运动一般分有氧运动和无氧运动，在当今压力普遍加大的情况下，运动就成了我们放松身体的方法之一。经常运动的人不仅可以增强抵抗力，还能拥有一个好的身体； 4、心情保持愉悦：古人说气大伤身，这句话一点也不假。如果一个人经常生气，且总是生闷气，那么时间久了这种无形的气就会在体内积累，使得身体不通，从而会由内而外生出各种病来； 拓展阅读 一、主题阅读基础篇，5篇 In Victorian Time, there was a strange tapeworm(绦虫) diet, in which dieters swallowed an unhatched tapeworm and let it grow inside them by consuming undigested meals.

Sam’s plan is to gradually decrease his calorie intake and increase his regular exercise. With less energy coming in and more being expended, he’s creating an energy deficit inside his body. To compensate, after 4 to 6 hours, his body starts burning fat cells as a major energy source for his organs and tissues. Felix aims to create a similar energy deficiency dramatically cutting his calorie intake. Unlike Sam, who’s still eating smaller meals, Felix is eating almost nothing. And his body responds by going into a starvation response. Desperate for energy, his body starts breaking down other materials, including his muscles. Meanwhile, Sam’s regular exercise is maintaining his muscle mass. This means he’ll use more energy both during exercise and at rest, making it easier for him to lose weight. Felix, on the other hand, is losing muscle mass and burning fewer calories than ever for his body’s basic functions, making weight loss even more diffic
