生活百科：健康生活系列之七——選擇正確的生活方式

STEP 1 Burn up calories 消耗熱量

Try to burn as many calories as you consume each day. Watch your diet, and adjust your level of physical activity to match your calorie intake.

STEP 2 Eat foods from all food groups 吃各種食物

Eat foods from all the food groups. Include plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole-grain products, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Have fish twice a week.

Eat nutrient-rich foods. Don't depend on high-calorie foods and beverages for your daily allotment of calories.

STEP 3 Drink in moderation 適量飲酒

Drink in moderation, if at all. Low doses of alcohol can reduce your risk of heart disease, but this benefit does not offset the risks of liver disease, high blood pressure, behavioral problems, and premature death if you over-consume.

STEP 4 Avoid tobacco 不要抽煙

Avoid tobacco like the plague. Tobacco use claims about five million lives a year worldwide.

STEP 5 Live longer 長壽

A healthy diet and lifestyle are your best defense against heart disease, so make healthy choices and live longer.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
