Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.
大家好,欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想。
Kale? No, thank you. Bananas? Hard pass.
羽衣甘蓝?不了,谢谢。香蕉?不可能的。
It's fine to not like some foods.
不喜欢某些食物也没关系。
As a little kid, you probably pouted about eating the healthy things on your plate.
小时候,让你吃盘子里的健康食物,你可能会很生气。
Now that you've grown up, you've probably gotten over your hatred of things like this giant salad monster.
现在你已经长大了,你可能已经克服了对这个巨大的沙拉怪物的厌恶。
But what if you never ate fruits or vegetables?
但如果你从不吃水果或蔬菜呢?
Fruits and veggies are full of many vitamins, minerals and nutrients but for the sake of time, we're going to focus on some main ones, Vitamins A, B6, and C, Folic Acid (or Folate), Potassium, Magnesium and antioxidants all found in produce.
水果和蔬菜富含多种维生素、矿物质和营养物质,但由于时间有限,我们将重点介绍农产品中主要的维生素:维生素A、B6和C、叶酸、钾、镁和抗氧化剂。
What would happen to your body if you cut all those out and became deficient?
如果你缺乏这些营养,身体会发生什么变化?
Well, let's go from the top down, starting at your head. Your hair would be dried and frayed.
好,我们从上到下,从头开始。你的头发会干枯受损。
Your eyesight may get worse and you could even lose your nighttime vision!
你的视力可能会变差,甚至会患上夜盲症!
Vitamin C deficiency can cause your gums to turn purple and you may lose some teeth.
缺乏维生素C会导致牙龈变紫,一些牙齿可能会脱落。
This deficiency can also prevent wounds from healing properly so you'd likely have scabs and scars covering your body.
这种缺陷也会阻碍伤口的正常愈合,所以你的体表很可能会出现结痂和疤痕。
Mentally, depression, confusion and irritability can all surface when you're deficient in vitamin B6 and/or folic acid.
当你缺乏维生素B6和/或叶酸时,精神抑郁、迷茫和易怒都可能出现。
Moving down the body, a lack of potassium can lead to various heart problems, like irregular heartbeat, and your cardiovascular system isn't the only one struggling without fruits and veggies.
往下走,钾的缺乏会导致各种各样的心脏问题,比如心跳不规则,没了水果蔬菜,受苦的不只有你的心血管系统。
The gastrointestinal tract that helps you digest food would be going haywire as well.
帮助你消化食物的胃肠道也会失控。
We're talkin' nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Pretty much the opposite of a good day.
我们说的是恶心,呕吐,腹泻。完全不美好的一天。
Your immune system would be pretty shot due to the lack of vitamins A, B6, and C, as well as Magnesium. So you'd likely get sick a lot.
由于缺乏维生素A、B6、C以及镁元素,你的免疫系统会受到严重影响。所以你很可能会生病。
Your nervous system would also struggle, possibly leading to neurodegenerative diseases, which really don't sound great.
你的神经系统也会受影响,可能会导致神经退行性疾病,这不是很好。
You'd experience muscle spasms due to the lack of potassium and magnesium. So prepare for a lot of 3am Charlie Horses!
由于缺乏钾和镁,你会肌肉痉挛。所以准备好迎接凌晨3点的查理马吧!
That's actually just my horse named Charlie. He always wakes me up at 3am.
这是我的马,查理。他总是在凌晨3点叫醒我。
And if you're cutting out fruits and veg, the last thing you need is someone else disrupting your sleep.
如果你不吃水果和蔬菜,你最不需要的就是别人打扰你的睡眠。
Seriously Charlie, can you just get out of here for a second?
说真的,查理,你能出去一下吗?
Various vitamins and minerals help with energy production, so if you lose those, you'd be pretty tired all the time.
各种维生素和矿物质有助于能量的产生,所以如果你失去了能量,你会一直很累。
Many fresh fruits and vegetables contain antioxidant phytochemicals that are believed to be anti-cancer, anti-aging and anti... well, a lot of other diseases.
许多新鲜的水果和蔬菜含有抗氧化的植物化学物质,这些物质被认为可以抗癌、抗衰老和抗……嗯,抗很多其他疾病。
So, without these antioxidants, you could look older and be at a higher risk of getting cancer and various other conditions.
所以,如果没有这些抗氧化剂,你看起来会更老,患癌症和其他各种疾病的风险也会更高。
Sooo, yeah. None of this sounds fun.
呃,是的。这些听起来都不好玩。
All of these symptoms would happen at different paces for different people, depending on how else they receive these nutrients in the rest of their diet.
所有这些症状在不同的人身上出现的快慢不同,这取决于他们如何在其他饮食中摄入这些营养。
Some things, like vitamin C deficiency, can do some serious damage in just one month.
有些东西,比如维生素C缺乏,在一个月内就会造成严重损害。
And if you're thinking that you could just make up for all these deficiencies with vitamins and supplements, it's not that easy.
如果你认为你可以用维生素和补充剂来弥补这些不足,那就不那么容易了。
While supplements may provide you with similar vitamins and minerals to those found in produce, they leave out things like fiber, flavonoids, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that all work together in fruits and vegetables to make them so healthy.
虽然补充剂可以提供与农产品相似的维生素和矿物质,但它们没有纤维、类黄酮、抗氧化剂和植物化学物质,这些物质在水果和蔬菜中共同作用,才使蔬菜水果如此健康。
And while it may surprise you, the effectiveness of vitamins, in general, is actually quite debated in the scientific community.
虽然你可能会感到惊讶,但总的来说,维生素的有效性在科学界是有争议的。
One thing that's not debated, whether or not fruits and vegetables are good for you.
有一件事是毋庸置疑的,那就是水果和蔬菜是否对你有好处。
Seriously, just eat them. Don't be like Triangle Bob over here. I have to pay someone to shove broccoli in his mouth every day. It's very sad.
说真的,就吃吧。不要像三角鲍勃。我得花钱请人每天把花椰菜塞进他的嘴里。真让人难受。
So, do you have a favorite fruit or vegetable? Do you actually eat them?
那么,你有最喜欢的水果或蔬菜吗?你真的吃吗?

One recent study found a significant relationship between added sugar consumption and an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease when observing participants for over 14 years.
最近的一项研究发现,在观察参与者14年以上之后,添加糖摄入与死于心血管疾病的风险增加之间存在显著联系。
