留美老师带你每日说英文 第460期:吃早餐的必要性

 台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

When you starve yourself, your body and brain create intense urges to eat high-calorie foods as opposed to healthy options. Breakfast specifically helps to keep blood sugar and hormone¹ levels regular and gives your metabolism² a boost to burn more calories through the day.

当你饿肚子时，身体和脑袋会产生想要吃高热量食物的冲动，这是和健康相违背的，特别是早餐可以帮助维持血糖及荷尔蒙在正常的浓度，并加速新陈代谢，让身体在一天中燃烧更多的卡路里。

参考例句：

• Hormone implants are used as growth boosters.激素植入物被用作生长辅助剂。
• This hormone interacts closely with other hormones in the body.这种荷尔蒙与体內其他荷尔蒙紧密地相互作用。

2 metabolism
