이번 주에는
붉은 고기와 가공육이 당뇨병과 치매에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 내용을 가지고
영어 훈련하겠습니다.
그동안 육류는 대장암의 큰 원인으로 지목돼 왔었는데요,
최근 연구들은 당뇨와 치매에도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주고 있습니다.
그 연구들의 논리를 감상하시죠.
그리고, 이렇게 음식과 건강에 관한 내용은
일상생활에서 자주 접할 수 있기 때문에
자주 읽어주시면 생활영어에도 큰 도움이 될 수 있습니다.
Drop that hot dog for your health
The health case against regularly eating red meat keeps getting stronger. At what point is the data convincing enough for Americans to change their diets? One recent study found that eating red meat increases the risk of type 2 diabetes; another paper finds a diet low in meat, sugar and salt but rich in vegetables and legumes is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s.
And both studies -- which followed thousands of people for decades -- show that replacing even a few servings of meat can have an impact.
There are also implications here for the legions of people expected to try the new class of obesity drugs called GLP-1s. While studies have shown the drugs can induce enough weight loss to improve cardiovascular and kidney health, a lower body mass index doesn’t solve all ills. “Losing weight will not entirely prevent you from developing other chronic diseases. You still have to rely on a healthy diet,” says Xiao Gu, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
