《中英對照讀新聞》Vegetarian Atkins diet lowers heart risks阿金素食法能降低心臟病風險
◎陳成良
A vegetarian version of the Atkins low-carb diet may help people lose weight and lower levels of bad cholesterol in the blood, Canadian researchers said on Monday.
素食版的阿金低碳水化合物飲食法,或可幫助人們減重,同時降低血液中不良膽固醇的含量,加拿大研究人員週一表示。
A small, month-long study of the so-called Eco-Atkins diet, which stresses plant proteins, worked better than a high-carb diet at reducing levels of low-density lipoprotein or LDL, which raises the risks of heart attacks and strokes.
一項歷時一個月的小型研究發現,注重攝取植物蛋白的所謂「生態阿金」飲食法在降低低密度脂蛋白(LDL)方面的效果,優於高碳水化合物飲食法。LDL會增加罹患心臟病及中風的風險。
The study involved 22 overweight men and women with high levels of LDL cholesterol who ate the Eco-Atkins diet for four weeks. A control group of 22 people ate a high-carb, low-fat diet based on low-fat dairy and whole grain products.
這項研究找了22名體重超重且LDL膽固醇偏高的男女攝取「生態阿金」飲食4週,對照組同樣為22人,採用以低脂乳品及全麥產品為基礎的高碳水化合物低脂肪飲食法。
After a month, people in both groups lost about four kilograms, or 8.8 pounds. But people on the low-carb, plant protein diet had lower LDL cholesterol and healthier blood pressure compared with those on the high-carb diet.
一個月後,兩組人員體重均減輕約4公斤(8.8磅);但相較於吃高碳水化合物的人,採取低碳水化合物、植物蛋白飲食的組員LDL膽固醇含量更低,血壓也更健康。
