早餐吃的鸡蛋下午器械锻炼有用吗（NO70最近研究）

适用对象: 高一尖子生，高二中等生、高三学生；想参加大学四、六级等级考试的同学。

效果说明: 依据本人近十年的实验数据，严格按照要求熟读100篇英语无障碍阅读成绩可提高约5分，200篇约10分，300篇约15分，400篇约20-25分，500篇约25-30分。从教30多年的老九老师悄悄地告诉您：高中/大学英语无障碍阅读是迅速扩大英语词汇量提升英语阅读水平十分十分十分有效的手段，我个人近几年年年教毕业班，屡试屡验！

使用方法(以家长/教师为例): ①先要求孩子做好阅读笔记（让孩子借助“全文汉语翻译”及“疑似生词加注”摘录整理在学习过程中遇到的难句和生词）。换言之，孩子除了记在笔记上的难句和生词，阅读材料中的其它句子和单词都应该能完全理解。②检查孩子对记在笔记上的难句的理解和生词的记忆（没有条件的只抽查生词，尤其是绿色斜体部分的单词，注意只要求孩子根据英语写汉语）。

编辑声明: 高中/大学无障碍阅读系列材料来自市面或网络上公开的全国各地高考原文、名地名校模考佳文、《英语周报》、大学各类等级考试中（低、中难度）原文。所有文章均由张九明本人参照《网易有道词典》编译而成。翻译时采用“英式汉化”翻译（虽然从汉语的角度看这样的翻译很不规范）便于学员您对原文的快速理解。

NO 70：最近研究，早饭前后锻炼身体对健康的影响大不相同

1 For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.

有一项关于“进餐时间和体育活动（锻炼效果间的关系）”的研究表明：对能忍受饥饿的人来说，早餐前锻炼身体比早餐后锻炼身体更有益于健康。

stomach胃-食欲-欲望n/消化-忍受v，beneficial有利的/有益的

2 Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.

科学家和运动员早就知道：进餐时间的早晚会影响体育成绩。然而，对于进餐时间和运动如何影响普通一般人的健康，人们所知甚少。

3 To find out, recently British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us.

为了找到答案，最近英国科学家进行了一项研究。他们首先找到10名超重、不爱运动但身体健康的年轻男性。他们的生活方式（无论好坏）多多少少代表了我们大多数人的生活方式。

They tested the men's fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.

他们事先测试了这些男子的健康状况和休息状态下新陈代谢的频率，并对血液和脂肪组织进行样本采集。

4 Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel.

然后叫他们在两个不同的早上到科学家实验室各来一次。要求每一个人以一般速度步行一小时。理论上，这样的速度应该能消耗他们身体上的脂肪（不管吃不吃早饭步行，步行时身体主要以脂肪作为燃料）。

Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.

其中的一次锻炼前他们不吃早餐，这就意味着他们完全空着肚子锻炼（在经过了一夜长时间的禁食之后）。另外一次锻炼前他们先吃了一顿丰盛的早餐（在开始走两小时的路前）。

5 Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.

在每一次（恰逢）锻炼前，和锻炼（一小时）后，科学家们都采集了这些人的血液和脂肪组织的额外的样本。

6 Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten.

研究人员然后比较了这些样本，发现有相当大的差异。最明显的是，这些人在锻炼开始时，不吃早餐的血糖水平更低（与吃早餐的情形比起来）。

As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.

所以，空腹时锻炼会燃烧更多的脂肪（相对于吃早饭后锻炼而言）。另一方面平均而言，吃早饭后锻炼会消耗更多的热量卡（相对于不吃早餐锻炼而言）。

7 But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking.

但研究人员发现，研究锻炼对脂肪细胞的深层影响可能是最重要的。锻炼中许多基因的表现的不同都取决于你锻炼前是否吃过东西。

Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health.

许多这些基因会产生蛋白质，能改善整个人体内血糖的调节和胰岛素的含量，所以与人体新陈代谢的改善有很大关系（与改善过的新陈代谢健康有关联）。

These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.

不吃早饭的运动时，这些基因会活跃得多（比吃早餐后运动）。

8 The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.

这些结果表明，要想从运动中获得最大的健康益处，最好先不吃东西。
