每天做些小事可以更健康

2018-05-31来源:和谐英语

Let's be real. Being healthy all the time sounds kinda time-consuming. Your life is busy enough. On the other hand, we all deserve to feel good, am I right? We went to the experts to get simple, actionable, everyday to-dos that will keep you feeling and looking energized, fabulous, and all-around healthier.
说实话,一直保持健康听起来是件耗费时间的事情。你的生活本就忙忙碌碌了。但另一方面,我们都应该自我感觉良好,对不?我们咨询了专家,请教了一些简单的、可操作的日常小事,这些小事将会让你看起来更加有精神、光彩夺目,而且还更健康。

1. Find one small way to add more steps to your day.
1. 找一个简单的方法,每天多走几步。

We sit too much, says Martha Gulati, MD, editor-in-chief of the American College of Cardiology's CardioSmart. Get closer to your 10,000 daily steps by switching up just one daily routine: Park at the end of the office parking lot, get off the bus/subway one stop earlier and walk the distance, deliver a message in person rather than IMing a coworker, or take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator (even if you can only manage 1-2 floors on foot). Be active as much as possible.
我们坐着的时间实在是太久了,美国心脏病学会CardioSmart的主编玛莎·古拉蒂医学博士说道。只需改变一个日常步骤,你就能离每天一万步的目标更近一点:在办公停车场的末端停车、提前一站下公交车/地铁,走一站的距离、走到同事身边告诉他某件事而不是通过聊天软件告知、或者爬楼梯而非乘电梯(即便你只能爬一两层)。尽可能多的活动。

2. Take the earbuds out-for just 5 minute at least.
2. 将耳塞取出--至少5分钟

Pure Yoga instructor Alison O'Connor believes in spending time alone every day. "Taking a few minutes for yourself-away from social media, work, entertainment, and anyone who demands something from you-can go a long way toward mental health." Ditch technology and make you your priority.
Pure Yoga的教练艾莉森·奥康纳认为每天应该有独处时间。"留几分钟给自己--远离社交媒体、工作、娱乐和任何有求于你的人--这样有助于带来长期的精神健康。"扔掉现代科技,自己才是最重要的。

3. Go to bed. Now.
3. 上床睡觉!就是现在!

"Sleep is one of the most essential activities of the human body. It's while we sleep that our body is most efficient at recovering and healing itself," says O'Connor. Brooklyn-based nutritionist Julie Fishkin adds that most adults need at least 7-8 hours in order to stave off depression and keep stress hormones at bay, preventing you from overeating.
"睡觉是人体最重要的活动之一。睡觉的时候我们的身体才能最有效的恢复和治愈,"奥康纳说道。布鲁克林的营养专家Julie Fishkin补充表示,大多数成年人需要至少7至8小时的睡眠才能避免抑郁、远离压力荷尔蒙,预防自己暴饮暴食。

4. Refill your water bottle.
4. 水杯加水

Most of us don't drink enough fluids (and no, wine doesn't count-the alcohol is dehydrating). Water helps your skin look fresh, it flushes your bodies of toxins, helps maintain healthy bowel functions (goodbye bloat, hello flatter belly), and keeps muscles from getting fatigued. If you don't already own one, invest in a cute reusable water bottle.
我们大多数人喝的流体并不够多(不,酒不包括在内--酒会让人脱水)。水能让你的肌肤鲜嫩、冲走体内毒素、帮助维持健康的肠功能(再见腹胀,你好平坦小腹),让肌肉不至于疲劳。如果你还没有水杯,那就花钱买一个可爱的、可重复使用的水杯吧。
