According to the Daily Telegraph of October 31, a new study has revealed that eating almonds can help the body to fight off viral infections such as the common cold and flu.

　　據(jù)英國《每日電訊報》10月31日報道，一項最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，吃杏仁可以幫助人體抵抗普通感冒和流感病毒的入侵。

　　The scientists, who are based at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich and the Policlinico Universitario （University Hospital）in Messina, Italy, said they found almond skins improved the ability of the white blood cells to detect viruses while also increasing the body's ability to prevent viruses from replicating and so spreading inside the body.

　　來自諾維奇食品研究所和意大利莫西拿大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究人員稱，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)食用杏仁皮能提高人體白血細(xì)胞的活性和檢測病毒的能力，從而加強人體抵抗病毒的能力，防止病毒在人體內(nèi)的復(fù)制和傳播。

They also said that although more research has to be carried out to determine how much almond should be eaten for an effect to be reached, it is likely that eating almonds regularly could help protect people from becoming infected with viruses in the first place, while it could also help those already infected to fight off their illness.

　　研究人員還說，盡管仍需進(jìn)行更多研究來檢測需要食用多少杏仁才能達(dá)到抵御病毒的效果，但平時多吃杏仁確實可以幫助人們在第一時間防止病毒入侵，同時也可以幫助已經(jīng)感染病毒的病人與疾病做斗爭。
