托福趣味阅读：10 Food Questions for Weight Loss and Better Health

大家都知道，健康的生活需要我们在平时就养成良好的生活和饮食习惯，吃什么食物才能有助健康呢?下面我们的趣味托福阅读材料就将给你一些小建议。

1. A packed lunch or a purchased lunch?

ANSWER: A PACKED LUNCH.

It'll be healthier, it'll probably have fewer calories, it'll be cheaper and it'll save you lots of time that you can use for walking, reading or socializing instead.

自带午餐更健康，热量较少，也便宜些。为你节约出更多的时间散步，阅读或参加更多的社交活动。

2. Coffee or tea?

ANSWER: TEA.

Choose black or green tea. These are jammed with heart-healthy antioxidants that provide more than just an energy-boosting punch; as well as contributing to healthier arteries; they may also help to prevent cancer.

选择红茶还是绿茶。他们都含有丰富的有益心脏健康的抗氧化物。这些不仅能抗氧化物促进能源生成，还能促进动脉健康;也可以预防癌症。

3. Strawberries or blueberries?

ANSWER: BLUEBERRIES.

Of course, both are great for you, so try to eat lots of these two fruits. But when you compare the nutrients in an equal amount of each, blueberries have a slight edge. Blueberries are particularly rich in fiber – four times that of strawberries – as well as containing more natural sugars, much more vitamin E and some unique micronutrients that are good for memory。

当然，两者对身体都有益。因此要多吃这两种水果。但当你比较他们所含的营养成分会发现，蓝莓里的含量要高一些。蓝莓的纤维是草莓的四倍，并且含有更多的天然糖分和维生素E，以及一些对记忆力很好的微量元素。

4. Fresh fruit or dried?

ANSWER: FRESH.

The higher water content (most fresh fruits are more than 80 percent water) means a larger volume, making the fruit more filling and satisfying with fewer calories. But for convenience and shelf life, use dried fruit as your back-up plan.

水分含量高(大多数水果百分之八十以上的水)指体积较大，使水果含更少的热量。但为了方便，保质期，你可以吧干果作为后备计划。

5. Fruit juice or fruit?

ANSWER: FRUIT.

Get the real thing. Not only are most fruit juices loaded with sugar, they've been stripped of an important element found in fruit –fiber.

获取真的东西。不仅是大多数水果中含有的糖分被破坏，连水果中一个很重要的成分-纤维也被破坏了。

6. Broccoli or cauliflower?

ANSWER: BROCCOLI.

At 2.6 grams of fiber per 100 grams, broccoli has twice the fiber oomph of cauliflower.
