聽力每日練習 listen 4627 Hypertension

1--I can't believe my eyes，Bill.  Are you having a salad for lunch? No hamburger?
 
2--Get used to it，Mary. I'm off hamburgers for good health.  Most fast food is loaded with sodium.
 
1--I know.  But why are you suddenly interested in lessening your salt intake?
 
2--My doctor says I should cut back on sodium-rich foods to lower my blood pressure.
 
1--Do you have hypertension? I would have thought you were too young.
 
2--Actually，my blood pressure isn't that high yet，but they say it increases with age.
 
1--Well, I'm glad you're starting to pay more attention to your diet.
 
2--I want to lower my risk of heart attack and stroke，too.
 
1--So do I. That's why I've been trying to lower my cholesterol level.
 
2--I've noticed you've been munching away on lots of fruits and vegetables reGently.
 
1--That's right. I could stand to lose a few pounds，too.

1--比爾，我真不敢相信我的眼睛。你午餐只吃沙拉?不吃漢堡?
2--瑪麗，你得開始習慣。我已經(jīng)決定為了健康永遠不吃漢堡了。大部分快餐，鈉的含量都很高。
1--這我知道。但你為什么突然想減少鹽的攝取量?
2--醫(yī)生說我必須少吃含鈉高的食物以降低血壓。
1--你有高血壓?你還這么年輕。
2--事實上我的血壓也沒有那么高，但據(jù)說血壓會隨年齡的增長而升高。
1--啊，真高興看到你開始比較注意飲食了。
2--我也想降低得心臟病和中風的危險。
1--我也是，這就是為什么我一直想降低體內(nèi)膽固醇含量的原因。
2--我注意到你最近大量吃蔬菜水果。
1--沒錯。這樣我還可以減掉幾斤肉。
