和老外聊天的地道口語第56期:披薩是健康食品?胡扯的吧...

I: Boris, look at this sentence."Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of foods you love." It's interesting, isn't it?
B: I'd rather say it's confusing. what are those "strict nutrition philosophies" about?
I: I believe they are careful calculations on proteins, vitamins and calories.
B: probably, Iris. That must be the job of nutritionists.
I: healthy eating ia not about depriving oneslf of the foods one loves. So we are free to have whatever foods we love. It is unbelievable.
B: oh, believe it or not, I came across an article the other day, saying that pizza is a healthy food.
I: seriously?
B: yes, I felt exactly the same way as you did just now. Scientists muct be crazy in saying so.
I: Maybe nowadays people hold different opinions on healthy diet.
B: absolutely. I myself sometimes believe that healthy eating is just about feeling great. As long as I have enough energy, it's fine.
I: but one must have some basic ideas about nutrition and find the best way for it to work out for the body.|


鮑里斯,你聽聽這個句子:"健康的飲食不是指嚴格的營養哲學,不切實際的瘦身或是不吃自己愛吃的食物."這聽起來蠻有意思的.
我倒不明白.什麼叫做"嚴格的營養哲學"?
我覺得是指仔細計算蛋白質,維他命和卡路里.
有道理,愛瑞斯.那都是營養學家該乾的事.
健康的飲食不是指不吃自己愛吃的食物.那我們就能隨便吃自己愛吃的食物了嗎?真是難以置信.
哎,你知道嗎,前幾天,我還讀到一篇文章說披薩也是健康食品.
真的嗎?
是啊,我當時的反映和你一樣,覺得科學家都瘋了.
也許現在人們對健康飲食的看法改變了.
是這樣的.我有時候覺得吃得健康就是自己感覺好罷了.只要我精力充沛,就可以了.
但是我們還是要知道一些基本的營養知識,使各種營養元素在我們的身體中發揮作用.
