寒冬美食:讓你暖起來的食物 (雙語）

Ginger gets its spicy flavor and thermogenic quality from its combination of two pungent compounds: gingerol and shogaol. Many swear by it for relief from headaches and digestive troubles, but the gnarled ginger root is also great for warming the body up on a cold day. For extra warmth, try a cup of ginger tea or treat yourself to a handful of crystallized ginger, nature’s candy with a kick.
生薑那獨特的辣味以及之能夠驅寒，來自它兩種刺鼻的成分：薑辣素和薑辣烯酮。很多人都相信姜可以緩解頭疼和消化問題，其實這粗短的姜能驅除你一天的寒冷。所以，爲了暖和起來，嘗試一杯薑茶或大自然那甜中帶辣的糖果：薑糖

Coconut Oil
椰子油

Coconut oil definitely isn’t a low-fat food (one tablespoon contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of fat), but its “medium chain” fatty acids are touted for a long list of health benefits, including increased immunity, speedier healing and—remarkably—weight loss. Add thermogenic properties to coconut oil’sperks and you’ve got yourself one powerful salad topper.
椰子油絕對不是低脂肪的食物。（一杯椰子油含117卡路里以及13.6克脂肪）但是它的中鏈脂肪酸則及其有利健康，它能增加免疫力，提高身體的癒合力，以及有着明顯的減肥功效！而能夠驅寒只是椰子油的衆多好處之一，所以你一定要在沙拉上加上一勺椰子油。

Green Tea
綠茶

Thanks to its high level of caffeine, a steamy mug of green tea will pick you up as it warms you up. Along with the antioxidant flavonoids called “catechins,” it’s the caffeine that also gives it thermogenic properties. To give your body temperature a boost at mealtime, try recipes that feature green tea in the ingredients.
一杯冒着暖氣的熱茶能讓你暖起來，是由於它含高茶精（咖啡因）。它的茶酸由抗氧化劑類黃酮組成，這就是其驅寒生熱的成分。在進餐時間溫暖自己，試試含有綠茶的菜餚吧！
