Unit 56 改吃素吧
A vegetarian diet incorporated into a low-calorie diet can increase energy-producing protein while keeping fat content low,according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
根據《美國醫學協會期刊》中的一項研究指出，把素食餐與低卡路里的飲食相結合可以使脂肪含量降低，同時也可以增加產生精力的蛋白質。
Actually,this mixture was given to protein-deficient malnourished children in Ethiopia,and it reversed their biochemical defects.Another study was conducted on New Orleans police officers on a weight-loss program.Researchers concluded that the vegetarian food "helps people without much self-motivation to lose weight."
事實上，這種混合餐給埃塞俄比亞缺乏蛋白質的營養不良孩子們吃了之后，改善了他們體內生化上的缺點。另一項研究是以新奧爾良的警員為對象所進行的減肥計劃。研究人員作出的結論是素食“有助于那些對這項計劃不很積極的人減肥”。
“以前我確信自己如果不吃肉，就會衰弱而死?！币晃粺嶂杂诮∶赖泥]差先生喬伊·舒奈德回想道。他接著又說:“但我在健身房認識的一位朋友說服我試試素食餐。一年前我就停止吃紅肉了，六個月前不再吃雞肉和魚肉。如今，我已減少了脂肪并且增加了肌肉。說實在的，我從來沒感覺這么好過。”
Vegetarian diets have been documented to lower cholesterol and blood pressure and to cut down on the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.Vegetarian diets are naturally very low in fats and high in complex carbohydrates and fiber.
文獻證明吃素可以降低膽固醇和血壓，減少摧患心臟病及某些癌癥的風險。素食餐脂肪的含量本來就很低，而且富含復合碳水化合物及高纖維質。
Healthy vegetarians eat a combination of grains，beans and other legumes and vegetables，especi-ally green leafy ones. Make the transition gradually, like Joe did.
It might be a good idea to take a multi-vitamin, too, just to make sure you’re getting all your nutrients.
健康的素食者會攝取各種谷類、豆類、豆莢及蔬菜類，尤其是綠色葉菜。像喬伊一樣慢慢地轉變飲食習慣。服用多種維他命亦不失為一個好主意，這樣做是為了要確保自己能攝取到身體所需要的各種營養。
