A flood of food comes at us this time of year. So the American Chemical Society has produced a YouTube video with info to help you survive the sweet and savory onslaught.
每年這個時候都會有大量食物出現在我們面前。于是美國化學協會制作了一個資訊視頻，來幫助人們遠離甜食和美味的沖擊。
The video from ChemMatters called "The Science Behind Calories and Nutrition Facts Labels," notes that: "A lot of us should pay more attention to nutritional values. For example, you might love having a caramel iced coffee every morning. But if you look at the nutritional info, a large caramel iced coffee from a leading fast food chain has 680 calories." That's almost half the total daily recommended calories for an overweight adult trying to lose weight.
這個來自于《化學時事》雜志的視頻被稱作“卡路里和營養成分標簽后的科學”。該視頻強調許多人都應該更加注重營養價值。例如，你每天都會喝一杯焦糖咖啡。但是如果你查看營養信息，就會發現這家領先的快餐連鎖店出售的大杯焦糖冰咖啡中含有680卡路里的熱量。對于一個想減肥的成年人來說，這幾乎是每天建議攝入的熱量的兩倍。
And metabolism is king. "A person's basal metabolic rate, the rate at which a person's body uses energy while at rest, is responsible for up to 70 percent of the calories used by our bodies." And the good news? "People can change their basal metabolic rate by exercising…also people with more muscle and less fat generally have a higher basal metabolic rate." So keep moving. Preferably away from the desserts.
新陳代謝才是最重要的。“一個人的基礎代謝率，即一個人在休息時利用能量的速度，負責向我們的身體提供高達70%的熱量。”好消息是？“人們可以通過鍛煉調整基礎代謝率...并且總體上肌肉多和脂肪少的人基礎代謝率更高。”所以要保持運動，盡量遠離甜點。
