Unit 49 Have Weekly tea-vegetable days
Unit 49 每周一天茶水蔬菜日
In a German study,158 overweight patients were put on a weight-loss program for several weeks,In addition to a low-calorie diet,they had a weekly tea-vegetable day when they drank only tea and fresh water and ate only fresh vegetables.
在德國進行的一項研究中，一百五十八名的過重患者參與了一項為期數周的減肥計劃。除了低卡路里的飲食外，他們每周有一天是茶水蔬菜日，當天他們只喝茶、白開水，只吃新鮮蔬菜。
Not only did the patients lose weight，lower their blood pressure and make improvements in their overall health, they also reported that the weekly tea-vegetable days provided them with a welcome relief from the diet regimen and a sense of cleansing.
這些患者不僅體重減輕，血壓降低，健康也全面改善。他們也指出每周一天茶水蔬菜日讓他們從節食的養生之道中松了一口氣，并且產生身心滌凈的舒適感。

For a tea-vegetable day of your own, brew a pot or more of your favorite tea, preferably herbal，since caffeinated tea usually jangles the nerves. As for the food portion of your program, chew on as many of your favorite vegetables as you like. Clean them but don’t cook them. Raw vegetables provide more nutrients and digestive bulk.
在你自己實施的茶水蔬菜日里，可以泡上一壺或是一壺以上你最愛的茶，最好是草本類的。因為含咖啡因的茶通常會擾亂神經。至于當天規劃的食物部分，則是啃啃你最愛的蔬菜，隨你愛吃多少都行。把蔬菜清洗干凈，但不要烹煮。生菜可以提供較多的營養及消化量。
