HEALTHY EATING
There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet.For example,scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food.However,there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food,as it is sugar [1].Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans.And in America,people who receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day(Journal of the American Medical Association,2014).This is true regardless of how healthy the rest of their diet might be.Put more simply,while people continue to argue over whether or not fatty food is dangerous,we already know that sugar is a killer.
[1]画线部分中的that引导同位语从句,解释说明increasing evidence;as it is是一种语言衔接结构,意为“事实上,实际情况是”,多用来陈述一种原因或状况,尤其是当该原因或状况与预期或需要不相符时。
Much of this extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.The average American gets 1/3 of his or her sugar through sweet drinks alone.The American Heart Association recommends that we limit ourselves to less than 100—150 calories a day from sugar,which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar [2].In other words,if you want to be healthy,you have to cut down on desserts,and cut out sweet drinks altogether.
[2]画线部分是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰less than 100—150 calories;定语从句中又包含一个what引导的宾语从句。
Beyond this,you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods,especially fruit and vegetables,which are full of vitamins and fibre,rather than processed foods.Processed foods often contain less nutrition,and have higher quantities of sugar,salt,and fat than fresh ingredients.Besides this,it is also important to have some meat,beans,or dairy products in your diet,as they provide the necessary protein for strong bones and muscle growth.As with everything in life,moderation is key.The ideal diet is a balanced one,without too much or too little of any one thing.
Finally,a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly.It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. [3]What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry. [4]Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better,and will allow you to enjoy your food more.In addition,studies show that consistent eating habits,for example,taking three meals a day at the same time each day,are better for our health.It is also better to eat a modest amount of food each time,rather than to eat a lot in one meal,and then a little in the next.
[3]画线部分属于“It takes some time for sb./sth.to do...”句型,意为“做……花费某人/某物多长时间”。you start eating为省略关系词when的定语从句,修饰先行词the time。
[4]本句中what引导主语从句,what在从句中作宾语;that people...feel hungry是that 引导的表语从句,表语从句中又包含一个who引导的定语从句(修饰先行词people)和because引导的原因状语从句。
There is no one trick to healthy eating.Rather,healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude towards food.One question you can ask yourself is,“Do I eat to live,or live to eat?”If you are using food mostly for nutrition,then you are on the right track with your diet.However,if food has become the centre of your life,you might be on the road to bad health.It is up to you to decide how you want to live,and to make the right decisions about your diet.,健康的饮食
现在关于健康饮食由什么构成有很多争论。比如,科学家多年来一直坚持说健康的一大敌人是高脂食物。然而,越来越多的证据表明,不良健康的真正推手并非脂肪类食物,而实际上是糖。心脏病是美国人的头号杀手。在美国,通过糖摄入25%或更多日需卡路里的人死于心脏病的可能性是每天摄入不到10%的人的两倍(《美国医学会杂志》,2014)。无论他们其他方面的饮食多么健康,都确实如此。更简单地说,当人们还在持续争论高脂食物是否危险时,我们已经知道糖才是杀手。
这些额外的糖大多来自甜食和含糖饮料。一个普通美国人仅通过含糖饮料就能摄入三分之一的糖。美国心脏协会建议,我们应当将每日从糖中摄取的热量控制在100-150卡路里以内,这些热量还没有一罐含糖饮料或一根糖棒通常所含的热量多。换言之,如果你想健康,你就必须减少甜点的摄入,并且完全不喝含糖饮料。
除此之外,你可以通过食用不同种类的新鲜食物来保持健康,尤其是富含维生素和纤维素的水果和蔬菜,而非加工食品。加工食品通常营养含量较少,并且比新鲜原料含有更多的糖、盐和脂肪。此外,在你的饮食中加入一些肉类、豆类或乳制品也很重要,因为它们提供了强健骨骼和肌肉生长所必需的蛋白质。和生活中的每件事一样,适度是关键。理想的饮食是均衡的,任何一种东西都不会吃得太多或太少。
最后,健康饮食的一个根本要点是细嚼慢咽。从你开始吃东西的那一刻起,你的大脑需要大约20分钟来告诉身体你吃饱了。这意味着,咀嚼太快的人最终会吃太多的食物,因为他们仍然感到饥饿。细嚼慢咽也能让你的身体更好地消化食物,让你更享受食物。另外,研究表明,始终如一的饮食习惯,例如,每天在相同的时间吃三餐,对我们的健康更有益。而且每餐最好都吃适量的食物,而不是一顿饭吃很多,而下一顿饭只吃一点。
健康饮食没有诀窍。更确切地讲,健康饮食始于对食物的健康态度。你可以问自己一个问题:“我是为了生存而吃,还是为了吃而生存?”如果你吃饭主要是为了汲取营养,那么你已经在饮食方面走对了路子。然而,如果食物已成为你生活的中心,你就可能会走上健康不良的道路。你要决定你想如何生活,并在饮食方面作出正确的决定。
