詳解 (共 10 筆)
首先查了一下
超級食物（Superfood）定義為「對健康非常好、甚至可能對某些疾病有幫助的食物」。
(A) they do make super food
(B) they can keep your weight off 減重
(C) they are actually an ancient food 古老的食物
(D) they give you an easy time cooking 容易烹煮
(B)(C)(D)選項文中都沒提到，可忽略
然後我對醫學期刊或類似的文章當考題蠻反感的，一堆專有名詞，老外都未必會看的東西。
Chia seeds have gotten quite the hype in the last few years. In the running and endurance athletics community they have definitely become a hot commodity since their introduction in the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. In the book, the super-athletic Indians in Mexico consumed chia seeds while on their desert runs and were provided with surges of energy during and after. So are chia seeds really the next promised super food?
When looked at scientifically, chia seeds do have a lot of benefits. To start with, Chia seeds have a high amount of protein, and they contain the minerals calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, all of which are essential for keeping our bones strong. Of the many plants that we eat for food, chia seeds have the highest amount of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for brain health. In addition to this, they are rich in antioxidants, which may protect our bodies from diseases like cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Chia seeds are definitely nutritious, but some dieters may expect more than that. The seeds are extremely high in fiber. The fiber content soaks up water and causes them to expand, and this expansion is believed to make stomachs full, so chia seeds are believed to help people lose weight. However, there are few published studies that prove chia seeds’ benefit for weight loss, so stories about their weight-loss properties should be taken with a grain of salt.
If you’re thinking about trying chia seeds for nutritional purposes, how do you add them to your diet? The easiest way is to add them to everything and anything. The seeds are tasteless so they won’t affect the flavor profile of your food. They can be sprinkled whole on top of salads or toast or added milled to smoothies and even to ice cream.
Chia seeds may not look like much, but _______________.
在過去的幾年中，奇亞籽已經大肆宣傳。自從克里斯托弗·麥克杜格爾（Christopher McDougall）在（Born to Run）一書中引入以來，在跑步和耐力運動界，它們無疑已成為熱門商品。在這本書中，墨西哥的超級運動印第安人在沙漠奔跑時消耗了奇亞籽，並且在此期間和之後都充滿了能量。那麼，奇亞籽真的是下一個公認的超級食品嗎？
從科學角度看，奇亞籽確實有很多好處。首先，正大種子含有大量蛋白質，並且含有鈣，磷和鎂等礦物質，所有這些礦物質對於保持骨骼強健都是必不可少的。在我們以食物為食的許多植物中，奇亞籽中Omega-3脂肪酸的含量最高，對大腦健康有益。除此之外，它們還富含抗氧化劑，可以保護我們的身體免受癌症，心髒病和阿爾茨海默氏病等疾病的侵害。
奇亞籽絕對營養豐富，但一些節食者可能期望的更多。種子的纖維含量極高。纖維含量吸收水分並使它們膨脹，並且這種膨脹被認為可以使胃飽滿，因此，奇亞籽被認為可以幫助人們減肥。但是，很少有已發表的研究證明奇亞籽對減肥有好處，因此有關其減肥特性的故事應該與一粒鹽一起服用。
如果您正在考慮嘗試出於營養目的使用奇亞籽，如何將其添加到飲食中？最簡單的方法是將它們添加到所有內容中。種子無味，因此不會影響食物的風味。它們可以撒在沙拉或烤麵包上，也可以磨成冰沙甚至冰淇淋。
奇亞籽看起來SOSO，但_______________。
Chia seeds may not look like much,but they do make super food.
奇亞籽看起來可能SOSO，但它們確實能製成超級食物。
