5.Don't Eat Too Much (Sugary) Fruit
5.别吃太多(含糖)水果
There's no denying it -- fruit contains sugar. A lot of it. Think of biting into a fresh, juicy peach or pear, and all of that sweet juice exploding in your mouth (or dribbling1 down your chin). Is it really so bad for you?
不可否认——水果含糖。大量的糖。想象一下,咬一口新鲜多汁的桃子和梨,甜甜的果汁溢满你的嘴(或流下你的下巴)。这真的对你不好?
No. True, there's a lot of sugar in fruit. But it's natural sugar, or fructose, which is far healthier than added sugar. Fructose isn't the only thing you'll find in that peach or pear, though. Fruit is also filled with fiber2, antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients3 that are great for your body, helping4 it fight disease, stabilize5 your blood sugar and more. Fruit is also considered a low-density food, which means it makes you feel full and satisfied. This is a positive, because if you're satiated, you won't eat too much fruit, nor will you be tempted6 to start noshing on something else that might not be nearly as healthy (say, a chewy chocolate chip cookie). So load up on fruit with no worries.
不。当然,水果含有大量糖分。但那都是纯天然的糖,或者说果糖,这种糖比添加糖健康多了。不过,你会发现水果不仅仅只含果糖。水果也含有纤维素、抗氧化剂、维生素和其它营养物质,这些物质对你的身体非常有好处,能够帮助抵抗疾病,稳定血糖等等。水果也被认为是低密度食物,这就意味着水果能让你产生饱饱的满足感。这是非常有益的。因为如果你觉得饱足,就不会再吃更多水果,也不会开始吃别的不那么健康的东西(比如耐嚼的巧克力饼干)。所以不用担心,尽情地多吃水果吧。
