VOA慢速英语:Study: Cutting Out One Sugary Drink is Good for Your Health(翻译)

A new study shows that replacing one sugary drink a day with water can help a person lose weight and improve their health.
一项最新研究显示，每天把一瓶含糖饮料换成水可以帮助人们减肥并提高健康水平。

Kiyah J. Duffey helped to write a report on the study. She says no matter how many sugar-sweetened beverages someone drinks, "replacing even just one serving can be of benefit."
卡雅·J·达菲参与撰写了这篇研究报告。她说，不管一个人每天喝多少含糖饮料，“只要把其中一瓶换成水都会有好处”。

Duffy is a specialist on human nutrition, foods and exercise. She teaches at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg.
达菲是人类营养、食品和运动专家。她任教于布莱克斯堡弗吉尼亚理工大学农业与生命科学学院。

Medical experts believe sugary drinks are partly to blame for the obesity epidemic in some areas. The drinks have also been linked to Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
健康专家认为，含糖饮料是一些地方肥胖流行的元凶。这种饮料也与II型糖尿病和心脏病有关系。

The U.S. government’s 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans says no more than 10 percent of a person’s daily calories should come from sugary drinks.
根据美国政府2015年度《美国人膳食指南》的建议，一个人每天由含糖饮料摄入的卡路里最好不要超过总卡路里的10%。

Duffy says just replacing one 236-milliliter sugary drink with the same amount of water would help people reach that target.
达菲说，只要每天把一瓶（236毫升）的含糖饮料换成等量的水，就可以达到这个目标了。

"We found that among (American) adults who (drink) one serving of sugar-sweetened beverages per day, replacing that drink with water lowered the percent of calories coming from drinks from 17 to 11," she said.
“我们发现，每天喝一瓶含糖饮料的美国成年人，只要把饮料换成水，就可以把每日从饮品中摄入的卡路里从17%减到11%。”

"Even those who consumed more sugary drinks per day could still benefit from water replacement, dropping the amount of calories coming from beverages to less than 25 percent of their daily caloric intake," she said.
她说，“对那些一天喝很多含糖饮料的人来说，把其中一瓶换成水也是有好处的，可以把每日从饮品中摄入的卡路里减到25%以下。”

The report was published in the journal Nutrients.
研究报告发表在《营养学》期刊上。
