For years, we’ve been hearing about the unhealthy lifestyle that many Americans are living. Now, we have an idea of just how many people that describes, and it’s not good.
多年來，我們一直聽到許多美國人不健康的生活方式。現在我們有一個想法，探究到底有多少人。情況并不太好。
Less than 3 percent of Americans are living the way they should, according to the medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
根據醫學雜志梅奧臨床學報，不到百分之3的美國人過著健康的生活方式。
In order to be considered healthy, the study said participants need to exercise 2.5 hours per week, eat a healthy diet, have a body fat percentage under 20 percent for men and 30 percent for women and avoid smoking.
研究表示，要達到健康標準，參與者每周要運動2.5小時，吃健康的飲食，男性低于百分之20女性低于百分之30的身體脂肪比例并且禁止吸煙。
But that proved to be a lot to ask. Less than 3 percent of people accomplished all four requirements regularly. Most people were able to get one or two, but 11 percent of participants did all four things they probably shouldn’t.
但還是有許多的問題。不到百分之3的人定期完成所有四項要求。大多數人都能達到一項或兩項，但百分之11的參與者做了所有四件事。
Nearly three-quarters of Americans were able to avoid cigarettes, but most people failed to meet the other three parameters, especially body fat percentage. Fewer than one in 10 Americans had what’s considered a healthy amount of body fat.
近四分之三的美國人都能不抽煙，但是大多數人卻不能滿足其它三個參數，特別是身體脂肪百分比。在10個美國人中不到1人有被認為的健康身體脂肪含量。
And that can spell disaster, since each of those four factors can contribute to the number one cause of death in America: heart disease.
這會招致災難，因為這四個因素中的每一個都會導致美國第一死亡原因：心臟病。
But even if it seems tough to accomplish everything on the list, researchers said adding even one healthy behavior to your routine can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
要完成所有的事情似乎很難，但研究人員表示，日常增加一個健康的行為都可以減少你患心血管疾病的風險。
