AZUZ: OK, up next today, how much of your daily diet should be made of carbohydrates? Actually, there`s no one size fits all rule. It depends on your age, your gender, your height, weight, overall health and how much exercise you get.Please visit www.chinavoa.com to get more information.

阿祖茲：今天的下一條新聞，你每天的飲食應該包含多少的碳水化合物?實際上，沒有所謂的一刀切的使用原則。因為其取決于你的年齡、性別、身高、體重，整體健康水平以及你鍛煉程度。

A dietitian can help you figure out your own daily needs, but there`s a difference in the kind of carbs you get from candy corn and the kind you get from pumpkins.

營養(yǎng)師可以幫助你發(fā)現自己每天需要攝入的量，但是這可能與你每日從玉米糖以及南瓜中攝入的碳水化合物有所不同。

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Food fuels all your activities. You know that. You`re breathing right now, because of the energy you get from food. And yet, most people don`t know very much about what they`re putting into their bodies.

?；?middot;古普塔 醫(yī)生，CNN 首席醫(yī)療記者：食物會為你所有的活動提供能量，你現在在呼吸，因為你從食物中攝取了能量。但是，現在，大多數人對每天自己的身體在攝入些什么知之甚少。

SUBTITLE: Should you eat carbs?

字幕：我們應該食入碳水化合物嗎?

GUPTA: If you`re like most people, the primary source of all of your energy comes from carbohydrates, also known as carbs. They`re one of the macronutrients, along with proteins and fats.

古普塔：如果你像大多數人一樣，身體主要的能量來源于碳水化合物。 碳水化合物是主要的營養(yǎng)物質之一，并且其中含有蛋白質和脂肪。

Now, carbs can be healthy. Think about breads, fruits, milk. They can also be unhealthy. Popcorn, soda, cookies.

現在，攝入碳水化合物可以很健康。想想面包、水果以及牛奶。這些碳水化合物也可以變得不健康。例如爆米花、蘇打、以及餅干。

But regardless of how they start off, inside your body, any carbs you eat turn into sugar. This process happens really fast with certain types of carbs -- fruits, vegetables, candy, honey. Those are called simple carbohydrates. They provide a quick boost of energy.

但是你的身體怎樣攝入成分，你所食入的所有的碳水化合物都會轉變成糖類。這個過程在某些化合物的轉化中非常的迅速——水果、蔬菜、糖果以及蜂蜜。這些化合物被稱為簡單的碳水化合物。他們能迅速為機體提供能量。

You get energy over a longer period of time when you eat other types of carbs -- whole grain breads, rice, beans, peas, potatoes. These are called complex carbohydrates. Now, those are going to take longer to digest.

當你吃其他的一些碳水化合物時，經過一長段的時間，可以從中獲取能量。這些化合物包括——全麥面包、大米、豆子、豌豆、土豆。這些化合物被稱為復雜碳水化合物。現在攝取這些物質需要消耗很長的時間。

If you`re following the Standard American Diet, also known as SAD, you`re consuming up to 65 percent of your calories from carbs and just around 35 percent of your calories from fat. But a diet that`s low in fat and high in carbs, especially the wrong kind of carbs can turn on you.

如果你在收看標準美國飲食這個節(jié)目，也被稱為SAD，你體內的卡路里有65%來自于碳水化合物，有35%來自于脂肪。但是飲食中脂肪含量過低以及碳水化合物過高，尤其是這兩種錯誤的碳水化合物，可以讓你的發(fā)生重大的變化。

Here`s what happens: because simple carbs don`t make you feel as full, you end up eating a lot of them. And remember, those carbs turn into sugar, and that sugar flows through your bloodstream. When it does, your body releases a hormone called insulin.

會發(fā)生什么樣的事情：因為簡單的碳水化合物并不會讓你有飽的感覺，你就會食入很多這樣的化合物。并且記住，這些碳水化合物會轉化為糖類，然后這些糖會流進你的血液。這時候，你的身體就會釋放一種叫做胰島素的荷爾蒙。

Insulin is important. It lets your cells know that energy is on the way and it`s up for grabs. But insulin also takes the extra energy from carbs and turns it into fat.

胰島素是很重要的。它可以讓身體的細胞知道有能量來了，并能待價而沽。但是胰島素也會消耗碳水化合文物的部分能量，將碳水化合物轉化為脂肪。

That`s why a sugary drink as well as double cheeseburger can both be bad for your waistline and for your heart.

這就是為什么含糖飲料以及雙層芝士漢堡都可以對你的腰圍和心臟不好。

這就是糖類飲料以及雙層芝士漢堡對腰圍以及心臟不好的原因。

Sure, you need carbs. We all do -- but not too many. And remember: not all carbs are the same.

當然啦，你的身體需要碳水化物。我們的身體也需要——但是不要太多。記住：并不是所有的碳水化合物都是一樣的。
