健康生活:吃生的食物 更有营养
英语课
Author Jeremy Safron has a unique philosophy on food: Don't cook it. Safron, a pioneer in the raw-food movement, is out with a new book, The Raw Truth, which outlines the benefits of raw food. He writes that vital enzymes 1 in our food that are eliminated during processing and heating can aid in digestion 2 and provide energy and nutrition.
作家Jeremy Safron在食物方面有着自己一套独特的理论：吃生食。 Safron是吃生食运动的先锋队员，还出了一本书“生 理”，讲诉了吃生食的好处。他在书中写道：食物中的酶能够帮助我们消化，给我们提供营养与能量。但这些酶却消失在了我们烹饪加热的过程中。
Safron has these tips for getting started on a raw diet:
如果你也想尝试着开始吃生食，Safron给你一些小提示：
Re-create. Get creative: Instead of your favorite angel-hair pasta, try substituting shredded 3 zucchini to go with your marinara sauce.
再创造。加点创意吧，不要再想着你最爱的天使面，试试看南瓜丝加番茄酱。
Have a raw party. Hosting a potluck is a great way to introduce your family and friends to the raw-food concept and try new dishes.
举办生食派对。举办一次生食派对，这可是绝佳的机会让你的亲朋好友们了解生食，并亲自尝试哦。
Take it slow. For those of us raised on meat and potatoes, transitioning to a 100% raw diet can take up to three years. Dehydrated foods — such as dried fruits and herbs, which allow for a greater intake 4 of nutrients 5 — can help to ease the transition.
慢慢来。 像我们这种大鱼大肉惯了的人，要完全转变成一个生食者，可能要用上3年的时间。脱水食物-----像坚果，脱水蔬菜，能给我们提供更丰富的营养，让这个转变过程轻松点儿。
Get closer to your food. The closer you are to the source of your food, the fresher and more vital it is. Try contacting local farmers, checking out a farmers market or even growing food in your own yard.
与食物更亲密。 你与你的食物来源越接近，你吃下的食物也就越新鲜，越有营养。试着联系你当地的农民伯伯，找两家农批市场 或者干脆就在你自己的院子里种植食物吧！
