“營養(yǎng)愛好者”吃出健康

如何才能“吃出健康”現(xiàn)在是人們非常關(guān)注的話題。根據(jù)微量營養(yǎng)元素選擇食物的“營養(yǎng)愛好者”也越來越多了。

Nutritarian refers to a person who chooses foods based on their micronutrient content.
營養(yǎng)愛好者指的是根據(jù)微量營養(yǎng)元素選擇食物的人。

Central to nutritarianism is the understanding that fruits and vegetables contain thousands of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals— substances they believe are not found in any other food source.
營養(yǎng)愛好主義的核心是，認為水果與蔬菜富含數(shù)千種維生素、礦物質(zhì)和植物素—營養(yǎng)愛好者認為植物素?zé)o法從其他食物來源中獲取。

So, how can you tell if a food is high in phytonutrients?
那么，如何確定食物富含植物素呢？

Eat the rainbow, says Jairam Vanamala, a professor in Colorado State University’s department of food science and human nutrition. Since phytochemicals and color are linked, eating fruits and vegetables representing a wide range of colors provides a smorgasbord of phytochemicals.
科羅拉多州立大學(xué)食品科學(xué)與人類營養(yǎng)學(xué)系教授Jairam Vanamala說，要吃得“五彩繽紛”。由于植物素與顏色有關(guān)聯(lián)，食用多種顏色的水果和蔬菜能為人們提供多種營養(yǎng)素。
