The average American has more than $5,000 in credit card debt. Not sure how to start tackling yours? Pay off one balance at a time.
美國(guó)人平均有超過(guò)5000美元的信用卡債務(wù)。不知道如何開始解決你的問(wèn)題？一次付清一個(gè)債務(wù)。

"When we first added up our debt, our four smallest debts totaled less than $100,
“當(dāng)我們第一次把債務(wù)加起來(lái)的時(shí)候，我們最小的四筆債務(wù)加起來(lái)還不到100美元，
And I realized I could pay them off right away," says Womack, who is now a budgeting coach.

but exposing your body to less-than-comfortable temperatures is an antiaging tactic that also improves mood and boosts immunity,
但是讓你的身體處在不舒適的溫度下是一種抗衰老的策略，它也能改善情緒，增強(qiáng)免疫力，
says Harvard University geneticist David Sinclair, PhD, author of Lifespan: Why We Age- -and Why We Don't Have To.
哈佛大學(xué)遺傳學(xué)家大衛(wèi)·辛克萊博士說(shuō)。他是《壽命：為什么我們會(huì)變老——為什么我們不一定會(huì)變老》一書的作者。
Being cold turns on longevity genes and generates healthy brown fat across your back,
辛克萊表示，寒冷會(huì)激活長(zhǎng)壽基因，并在你的背部產(chǎn)生健康的棕色脂肪，
