Unit 56 Become a vegetarian 1.
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.
根据《美国医学协会期刊》中的一项研究指出，把素食餐与低卡路里的饮食相结合可以使脂肪含量降低，同时也可以增加产生精力的蛋白质。
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."
事实上，这种混合餐给埃塞俄比亚缺乏蛋白质的营养不良孩子们吃了之后，改善了他们体内生化上的缺点。另一项研究是以新奥尔良的警员为对象所进行的减肥计划。研究人员作出的结论是素食“有助于那些对这项计划不很积极的人减肥”。
"I was sure I'd shrivel up and die if I didn't eat meat,"recalls Joe Schneider,a mailman who is into bodybuilding."But a friend at the gym talked me into trying it. I quit eating red meat a year ago and chicken and fish six months ago. I've lost fat and gained muscle.Truthfully, I’ve never felt better.”
“以前我确信自己如果不吃肉，就会衰弱而死。”一位热衷于健美的邮差先生乔伊·舒奈德回想道。他接着又说:“但我在健身房认识的一位朋友说服我试试素食餐。一年前我就停止吃红肉了，六个月前不再吃鸡肉和鱼肉。如今，我已减少了脂肪并且增加了肌肉。说实在的，我从来没感觉这么好过。”
Vegetarian diets have been documented to lower cholesterol 2 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 3 and fiber 4.
文献证明吃素可以降低胆固醇和血压，减少摧患心脏病及某些癌症的风险。素食餐脂肪的含量本来就很低，而且富含复合碳水化合物及高纤维质。
Healthy vegetarians 5 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 6.
健康的素食者会摄取各种谷类、豆类、豆荚及蔬菜类，尤其是绿色叶菜。像乔伊一样慢慢地转变饮食习惯。服用多种维他命亦不失为一个好主意，这样做是为了要确保自己能摄取到身体所需要的各种营养。
