现在的人们越来越重视食品饮食健康了,那么哪些食物是比较健康的,哪些又是相对不是那么对身体有好处的食物呢?下面方向标用英语给大家介绍六种健康食物:
Some foods just aren’t taken seriously. Consider celery, for example—forever the garnish, never the main meal. You might even downgrade it to bar fare, since the only stalks most guys eat are served alongside hot wings or immersed in a Bloody Mary. All of which is a shame, really. That’s because besides being a perfect vehicle for peanut butter, this vegetable contains bone-beneficial silicon and cancer-fighting phenolic acids. And that’s not even what makes celery so good for you. Eat This, Not That! has rounded up six of the most underappreciated and undereaten foods that can instantly improve your diet.
