Question

【题目】B

People are interested in eating raw and whole foods (天然健康食品). They are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and processed foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients (营养) to be absorbed into the blood. In both cases, the result is obesity.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the stomach that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestion cycle. Then, the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to have healthy food that will balance the body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore our enzyme balance. We need to tell and avoid the foods that cause negative effects and eat the foods that increase enzyme production. If we truly want to change and help our body heal itself, we need to take an active approach.
