Hello all,
I think everybody is busy watching Olympic. How many hours can you watch? If you’re tired, you can be refreshed by some new insights about food and exercise below. It’s a long translation for me from friend’s email so that I can practice my Chinese writing. However, I still don’t know how to type Chinese.
食物健康新知:
問：我聽說心血管運動可以延長生命, 這是真的嗎？
答：在你的生命中，你的心只跳這麼多次，不要浪費它們在運動, 好像說，駕駛你的汽車更快, 汽車壽命會更長。 加快你的心跳, 將不會使你活得更長, 想活得更長？多睡午覺。
問：我應該減少對肉類和吃更多水果和蔬菜？
答：你必須把握吃的效率。牛是吃什麼的？青草和玉米, 這些是什麼？它們是蔬菜類。因此吃牛肉，是一個有效率的機制，提供蔬菜類到你的身體。有需要穀類？吃雞肉。牛排的來源是肥沃的草原（綠綠的葉子）, 豬扒可以給你百分之百, 每日蔬菜類的需要。
問：我應該降低我的酒精攝取量？
答：不，完全沒有必要。葡萄酒是由水果做的, 白蘭地是蒸餾的葡萄酒，這意味著他們取出水份, 給你吃更多的果肉。啤酒也是穀類做的。該乾杯就乾杯！
問：是不是油炸食品不好呢？
答：你仍然不明白！ .... 現在的油炸食品都是植物油炸, 事實上植物油滲透到裡面，吃更多的植物, 如何能對你不好？
問：巧克力對我不好嗎？
答：你瘋了？.... 巧克力是可可豆類做的, 另一種植物！它是感覺最好的食物。
問：仰臥起坐，有助我的腹部周圍變小？
答：絕對沒有！當你在行使肌肉，它會變得更大了。如果你想要更大的腹部, 做仰臥起坐。
問：游泳會給你好身材？
答：鯨魚每天游泳，請問身材好嗎？
問：在我們的生活中, 身體形狀重要嗎？
答：喂！ 圓是一個好的形狀！
問：我如何能計算我的身體/脂肪比例呢？
答：好的，如果你有一個身體，和你有脂肪，你的比例是一對一。如果你有兩個身體，你的比例是二對一，等等。
問：參加例行性運動計劃, 有什麼好？
答：沒想到一個.... 對不起。
那麼我希望, 這已解釋了你對食物和運動任何誤解。 對於那些注意飲吃的人，在這裡有一些研究真相:
1 。日本人吃很少的脂肪, 心臟病比美國人少。
2 。墨西哥人吃了很多脂肪, 心臟病比美國人少。
3 。中國人喝很少的紅酒, 心臟病比美國人少。
4 。意大利人喝了不少紅酒, 心臟病比美國人少。
5 。德國人喝大量啤酒和吃很多香腸和脂肪, 心臟病比美國人少。
結論 :
無論你喜歡吃和喝什麼, 顯然什麼害你,是講英語。
Below is original English version:
Q. I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine; that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain... Good!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
