最有利於男性健康的食物

Yes, we’re all human, but men and women carry different health risks—which means that eating whatever your partner is having won’t necessarily cut it. To keep your doctor visits at a minimum—and keep all those gender-specific health risks at bay—it’s important to eat the foods that have been shown to help men remain healthy, lean, and strong. Here, the editors of Eat This, Not That! reveal foods all men should add to their diets, plus delicious (and easy!) ways to incorporate each one into your diet.

是的，我們都是人，但男人和女人有着不同的健康風險——這就是說：吃另一半吃的食物，並不一定會降低我們的風險。想要少看醫生——並遏制所有性別特定的健康風險——那麼吃那些已被證明有益於男性健康、精壯的食物是很重要的。因此Eat This, Not That!的編輯們道出了那些男性應該攝入的食物，以及如何簡單地將這些食物添加到日常飲食中，使其變得美味！

1. Wild Salmon

1. 野生三文魚

Whether you’re simply trying to stay healthy or trying to improve your heart health because you’re already suffering from heart disease, omega-3s can help, say the experts at the National Institute of Health. How? The healthy fat helps reduce triglycerides (the fats that can build up in your blood and cause a heart attack) and also diminish the risk of an irregular heartbeat.

不管你只是單純的想要保持健康，還是由於你已患有心臟病因此想要使心臟更加健康，歐米茄3脂肪都能幫助你，美國國立衛生研究所的專家們說道。怎麼幫呢？這一健康的脂肪有助於減少甘油三酯（易在血液中積聚並導致心臟病的脂肪），還能降低不規則心跳的風險。

2. Walnuts

2. 核桃

The genus name for walnuts comes from the Roman phrase “Jupiter’s acorn,” which shows you just how godly the Romans believed the nut to be. And still today, the meaty walnut is highly regarded for its nutritional awesomeness. As one of the best dietary sources of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts have proven particularly good for the heart. One study showed a two-ounce daily snack was enough to significantly improve blood flow to and from the heart. And a second, five-year study found a one-ounce portion of walnuts, three or more times per week could slash the risk of heart disease by more than half! Sounds like a great reason to chow down, if you ask us!

核桃的屬名來自於羅馬短語“木星的橡子”，這也顯示出核桃在羅馬人心中的神聖度。時至今日，核桃果實也因其營養程度高而備受推崇。作爲消炎歐米茄3脂肪酸的最佳飲食來源之一，核桃已被證明有利於心臟健康。一項研究表明：每天只要吃兩盎司的核桃就能顯著促進心臟的血液流通。還有一項爲期五年的研究發現：一盎司的核桃，每週吃三次或三次以上就能使患心臟病的風險降低一半！如果你問的話，我們會說這聽起來是個不錯的吃核桃理由！

3. Mushrooms

3. 蘑菇

Not only are mushrooms super low-cal, they’re a good source of with potassium, a nutrient that can help lower blood pressure and offset the negative effects of excess sodium. Another reason to add the veggie to your shopping list: Researchers at the University of Florida showed increased immunity in people who ate 4 ounces of cooked mushrooms every day for four weeks.

蘑菇不僅含有超低的卡路里量，而且也是鉀元素的良好來源，鉀元素是一種營養物質，能降低血壓，還能抵消鈉攝入量過多而產生的消極影響。將蘑菇添加到購物清單中還有一個理由：弗羅裏達大學的研究員們表示：那些連續四周每天都吃4盎司煮熟蘑菇的人，免疫系統有所增強。
