問題詳情
請依下文回答第 47 題至第 50 題As the modern world has become more complex, our lifestyles have become more challenging, demanding, andexhausting. Food consumption patterns, in pace with these changes, have altered remarkably over the past fewdecades. For instance, we are dining outside the home more often, skipping more meals, consuming food moreon-the-go, eating later in the day, and eating more irregularly. In the past, dietary guidelines used to focus exclusivelyon ‘what’ you should eat in terms of food and nutrients. Now the equivalent amount of attention is being placed on‘when’ you should eat over the course of a day. Concentrating on both what we eat and when we eat, althoughbeneficial in keeping us healthy and warding off chronic diseases, can be quite overwhelming.According to studies on the effect of meal patterns on health, eating inconsistently is likely to be associated with ahigher risk of metabolic syndrome, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Eating irregularly mayaffect our internal body clock which normally follows a 24-hour cycle. For people working shifts, their irregulardietary patterns create a greater risk of getting cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.In the 1960s, nutritionist Adelle Davis promoted the mantra, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince anddinner like a pauper.” A good meal in the morning can give you fuel and prepare your body for the work to come.According to Harvard School of Public Health researchers, skipping breakfast may make you hungrier and crave largermeals later in the day. Unfortunately, this will lead to a surge in blood sugar, and increase your risk of heart disease,diabetes, and obesity.Although calories get burned up no matter when you eat them, having a hearty meal at night can cause weightproblems. “What you don’t burn off is more likely to be stored as fat, as you become less active toward the end of theday,” said Tracy Lockwood, a registered dietitian. “Eating too close to bedtime increases your blood sugar and insulin,which causes you to have a hard time falling asleep. Therefore, your last meal should be the lightest of the day andshould be eaten at least three hours before you go to sleep.”Having small but frequent meals to regulate appetite and control weight is a concept of fad diets; yet somestudies argue consuming more meals is linked to a greater risk of being overweight. It is clear that there is no singlegolden rule for healthy eating for everyone. Paying attention to when to eat, what to eat, and how many calories toconsume will definitely be a good place to start.

隨著現代世界變得越來越複雜，我們的生活方式變得越來越具有挑戰性，苛刻和耗盡。隨著這些變化，食品消費模式在過去幾十年中顯著改變。例如，我們更經常地在家外面用餐，跳過更多的飯菜，在旅途中吃更多的食物，一天晚上吃飯，更不規律地吃飯。過去，飲食指南主要集中在食物和營養方面應該吃什麼。現在，在一天中你應該吃什麼時候，正在等同的注意力。集中我們所吃的東西，吃飯的時候，儘管有益於保持健康，擺脫慢性病，可以相當壓倒一切。根據膳食模式對健康影響的研究，飲食不一致可能與高血壓，2型糖尿病和肥胖等代謝綜合徵的風險相關。不規律地進食可能會影響我們的內部身體時鐘，通常在24小時的周期之後。對於工作班的工作人員，他們的...
