Jimmy s Note

吉米老師前言：不健康的飲食習(xí)慣,，會(huì)直接加速你的衰老。你經(jīng)常吃的食物可能正在加速你的衰老，讓你比同齡人看起來更顯老?，F(xiàn)在就讓吉米老師告訴你，想要延緩衰老應(yīng)該少吃哪些食物,。

為什么你會(huì)比別人顯老

來源：BBC英語 (id:iyubabbc)

Lots of factors play into how fast you age, and how obviously that aging shows up on your skin.

皮膚衰老的速度有多快,、多明顯，受到很多因素的影響,。

Genetics may be the greatest of these, but there are plenty of things that you can control when it comes to aging. Smoking, sun exposure, and especially diet make a huge difference.

基因可能是這些影響因素中最重要的一個(gè),，但涉及到衰老的很多問題是可控的。吸煙、日曬,，尤其是飲食,，都會(huì)產(chǎn)生極大的影響。

We all want to look good, but when you feel good, it also shows on your face. Premature aging can not only cause aches and pains, it can also leave your body open for chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Even though we never want to look old, most of us really want the chance to grow old.

我們都希望自己看起來狀態(tài)良好,，但是當(dāng)你感覺良好的時(shí)候,，歲月還是會(huì)在你的臉上留下痕跡。過早衰老不僅會(huì)導(dǎo)致疼痛,，還可能導(dǎo)致糖尿病,、心臟病甚至癌癥等慢性疾病。盡管我們都想永保青春容顏,，但有很大一部分人卻在無形中“幫助”自己變老,。

Taking charge of your diet now can help you stay young on the inside and the outside! It is probably no surprise that healthy eating includes lots of fruits and vegetables coupled with reasonable portions of lean meat. To help you get a handle on what it is important to avoid, we have collected seven foods that will take you in the wrong direction. Cut these out of your diet to rock a healthy body now and long into the future.

從現(xiàn)在開始控制飲食有助于保持年輕！健康飲食指的是大量的水果和蔬菜,，以及適量的瘦肉,。這些都是我們能想到的食物。另一方面,，有些食物會(huì)加速衰老,，我們收集了7種這樣的食物。把這7種食物從你的飲食中去除,，讓你的身體無論是在現(xiàn)在還是將來都能保持一個(gè)健康的狀態(tài),。

Margarine

人造黃油

Butter got a really bad reputation some years ago due to its saturated fat content. Margarine was supposed to be the answer that would let us enjoy buttery flavor without the fat. Unfortunately, margarine is actually quite a bit worse for your body.

幾年前，黃油因飽和脂肪含量過多而被人們棄如敝履,，后來人造黃油成為替代品,，被認(rèn)為是沒有脂肪的黃油。但事實(shí)上,，人造黃油也對(duì)身體有害,。

Margarine is packed with trans fats that raise your risk of chronic disease. It also messes with the hydration level of your body. Chronic dehydration is a prime driver of wrinkles, definitely an unwanted consequence.

人造黃油含有反式脂肪，會(huì)增加患慢性疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),，還會(huì)擾亂水合作用,，最終導(dǎo)致長(zhǎng)期脫水，長(zhǎng)期脫水是產(chǎn)生皺紋的主要原因,，這絕對(duì)不是人們期待的結(jié)果,。

Margarine additionally contains a high level of omega-6 fatty acids. While your body needs some of these, it’s easy to get too many, and that tends to create inflammation.

人造黃油還含有高水平的Ω-6脂肪酸，少量的Ω-6脂肪酸是合理的,，但如果攝入過多會(huì)導(dǎo)致炎癥,。

Convenience Foods

方便食品

We get it: life is busy. Cooking fresh meals every day can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Many microwave meals and packaged dishes that make mealtime easier are actually hiding a decidedly unhealthy secret – salt, and lots of it.

忙碌的生活使得每天烹飪新鮮食物成為一個(gè)無法完成的挑戰(zhàn)，微波食品和半加工食品成為上班族的救星,。但這些食物背后隱藏了一個(gè)導(dǎo)致健康問題的因素——過多鹽,。

Many of us get too much salt in our diets. It is actually really easy to do when we rely on convenience foods or fast food meals. Sodium can cause water retention and make you look and feel bloated and puffy. If healthy cooking really doesn’t fit into your schedule, explore a healthy meal delivery service instead.

依賴方便食品或快餐會(huì)使得我們輕松攝取過多的鹽分,，鹽中的鈉離子會(huì)導(dǎo)致水滯留，導(dǎo)致浮腫,。如果做不到每天烹飪健康食物,，不妨嘗試較為健康的送餐服務(wù)。

Energy Drinks

能量飲料

If you feel like you need energy drinks to power through your day, get your butt to bed earlier each night! Improving your sleep hygiene can do a lot to help you feel and look younger, but energy drinks do just the opposite. They are high in sugar, caffeine, sodium, and acid. That deadly combo will damage and stain your teeth as well as contribute to dehydration.

如果需要能量飲料來支撐一天,，不如每天晚上早點(diǎn)睡覺,！改善睡眠習(xí)慣可以讓你自己感覺更年輕，也可以讓你看起來更年輕,，但是能量飲料則會(huì)有反面效果，這種飲料富含糖,、咖啡因,、鈉和酸，這種致命的組合不僅會(huì)導(dǎo)致脫水,，還會(huì)損害牙齒,，使牙齒變色。

Right now you are probably shaking your head and thinking that you simply can’t get more sleep with the responsibilities on your plate. But consider the fact that a chronic shortage of sleep makes you a lot less capable and efficient in your daily tasks. It can be hard to draw the line and say, “I’m done for the day; I need to rest.” But when you do, you’ll find that everything you have to do the next day gets done a lot faster.

現(xiàn)在,，你可能在搖頭否定,，你覺得增加睡眠時(shí)間是奢侈的，你需要加班,。但是這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)是不容忽視的——長(zhǎng)期的睡眠不足會(huì)使你在日常工作中能力和效率大大降低,。不讓工作影響生活是很難的，但是當(dāng)你這樣做的時(shí)候,，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你第二天做事效率提升了,。

Sugary Treats

甜食

Sugar is probably public enemy #1 when it comes to premature aging. It is packed into all sorts of foods at simply unconscionable levels, so we are eating it all day long even when the food itself isn’t a dessert. It’s a huge problem, because sugar is the biggest driver of obesity and inflammation, not to mention tooth decay.

糖可能是導(dǎo)致早衰的頭號(hào)因素。在各種各樣的食物中都含有糖,，且含量高得簡(jiǎn)直離譜,，所以即使食物本身不是甜點(diǎn)，我們幾乎也在整天攝入糖分,。這個(gè)問題很嚴(yán)重,，因?yàn)樘鞘菍?dǎo)致肥胖和炎癥的最大誘因，更不用說蛀牙了,。

Eating too much sugar sets up a perfect environment in your body for chronic disease. Not only does it contribute to the development of diabetes, but sugar is the favorite fuel of cancer cells. We encourage you to read labels carefully for anything you’re considering buying at the store. And sadly, cutting out sweet treats like baked goods, candy, and sodas is crucial if you want to maintain your youthful appearance.

吃太多的糖會(huì)在你的身體里為慢性疾病創(chuàng)造一個(gè)完美的環(huán)境,。它不僅有助于糖尿病的發(fā)展，而且糖是癌細(xì)胞最喜歡的燃料,。我們鼓勵(lì)您仔細(xì)閱讀標(biāo)簽,，為您正在考慮購(gòu)買的任何商店。遺憾的是,，如果你想保持年輕的外表,，少吃烘焙食品、糖果和蘇打水等甜食是至關(guān)重要的。

High Glycemic Index Carbs

高血糖指數(shù)的碳水化合物

Breads and pastas made with refined white flour are high on the glycemic index, meaning that they spike your blood sugar really quickly. That sets you up for a high and a crash, a cycle that can definitely show on your face. Refined carbs have been proven to accelerate the skin’s aging and cause blemishes like acne and rosacea.

由精制白面粉制成的面包和意大利面血糖指數(shù)很高,，這意味著它們會(huì)使你的血糖迅速升高,，這會(huì)讓你興奮和崩潰，并體現(xiàn)在你的臉上,。精制碳水化合物已被證明會(huì)加速皮膚老化,，并導(dǎo)致痤瘡和酒渣鼻等。

Instead, eat whole wheat products. They fill you up better than the refined stuff, plus they can lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of chronic illnesses including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Another option is to get really creative and eat pasta made with beans and bread based on ground flaxseeds.

全麥?zhǔn)称繁染剖称犯芴铒柖亲?，而且還能降低血壓,，降低患包括2型糖尿病和心臟病等慢性疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。除了全麥?zhǔn)称?，還可以選擇由豆類和以亞麻籽粉為原料的面包制成的意大利面,。

Alcohol

酒精

Ok, don’t panic! We are not saying that you need to give up alcohol all together. Drinking to excess is the problem when it comes to premature aging. Getting absolutely blasted tends to cause free radical damage throughout your body, especially if those drinks are high in sugar. Alcohol also strips the body of vitamin A, which is crucial to the process of cell renewal and turnover.

不需要完全戒酒。過度飲酒會(huì)造成自由基損傷,，導(dǎo)致早衰,。酒精還會(huì)導(dǎo)致維生素A流失，而維生素A對(duì)細(xì)胞的更替過程至關(guān)重要,。

So by all means, have a glass or two with your pals. But steer clear of those that contain a lot of sugar (think mixers like juice or soda) in favor of wine, champagne, or mixed drinks with soda water and lime. It’s also smart to alternate each alcoholic beverage with water to keep your hydration levels up.

所以,，就算跟朋友聚餐，也不要貪杯,，還要遠(yuǎn)離那些含糖量高的飲料(比如果汁或蘇打水),，多喝葡萄酒、香檳或蘇打水和酸橙混合飲料,。用水代替酒精飲料來補(bǔ)充水分是明智的做法,。

Preserved Meats

腌制的肉類

The latest research around preserved meats says that the nitrates and nitrites used for preservation put your body at risk for cancer. That’sbecause they create free radicals that lead to oxidation damage of cells and your very DNA. Enough free radical damage sets up an environment ripe for cancer or other chronic disease, plus it really ages your skin.

關(guān)于腌制肉類的最新研究表明，用于保鮮的硝酸鹽和亞硝酸鹽會(huì)致癌,，這是因?yàn)樗鼈儠?huì)產(chǎn)生自由基,，導(dǎo)致細(xì)胞和DNA的氧化損傷。過度的自由基損傷會(huì)導(dǎo)致癌癥或其他慢性疾病的發(fā)生,，而且會(huì)使你的皮膚老化,。

So skip the bacon, hot dogs, and sausages in favor of vegetarian versions or else lean, organic meat over processed forms. Yeah, this one’s going to hurt. But in the end, the cleanest and most minimally processed foods are always going to be the ones that support your youthful appearance and attitude.

所以，少吃培根,、熱狗和香腸等加工過的肉類,，多吃素食或精瘦的有機(jī)肉類。這需要“忍痛割愛”,，但最終,，那些加工最少的干凈食物會(huì)讓你保持年輕外表和積極態(tài)度。

Conclusion

Slowing down the aging process is something that we all want to do. Marketers and cosmetics companies know this full well and that’s why the market is flooded with products advertised to sweep decades of wear and tear off of your body.

減緩衰老是我們都想做的事情,，市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷人員和化妝品公司對(duì)此非常了解,，所以市場(chǎng)上充斥著號(hào)稱可以清除你身體數(shù)十年磨損的產(chǎn)品,。

Unfortunately, it is not as easy and simply buying a product and slathering it on your skin. But – it is doable with the right diet.

不幸的是，延緩衰老并不容易,，簡(jiǎn)單地買一個(gè)產(chǎn)品并不意味著萬事大吉,，但是正確的飲食是可以做到延緩衰老的。

Avoid the seven foods on this list to ensure the kind of health that comes from the inside out. Trust us, it will show through!

避免上述的7種食物,，確保身體健康,。相信我們，時(shí)間會(huì)給出答案,！
