The ability to devour cakes and chocolate without getting fat may not be as great as it sounds.
可以隨心所欲大口吃蛋糕和巧克力,卻不會(huì)變胖的能力實(shí)際上并不怎么樣。
Scientists have shown that people with a fast metabolism don't live as long as those who burn up calories more slowly.
科學(xué)家們表示新陳代謝快的人沒(méi)有那些燃燒卡路里慢的人壽命長(zhǎng)。
The findings, based on a study of more than 600 volunteers, suggest that an increased metabolic rate actually speeds up the ageing process.
這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)是在研究了600個(gè)志愿者后得出的,并表明新陳代謝速率快實(shí)際上會(huì)加速衰老。
Experiments on animals have shown a strong link between lifespan and metabolic rate.
在動(dòng)物身上做的實(shí)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)證明了壽命與代謝速率之間有緊密關(guān)系。
Creatures that burn up energy more quickly tend to have shorter lives than animals that convert food into energy slowly.
燃燒能量快的的動(dòng)物比那些把食物緩慢轉(zhuǎn)換成能量的動(dòng)物生存的時(shí)間更短。
But the findings do not apply to energy burnt up by exercise.
但是這些發(fā)現(xiàn)并不適用于通過(guò)鍛煉而燃燒的能量。
This activity clearly has beneficial effects on health.
這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)很明顯對(duì)健康有很大好處。
And people with a slow metabolism who become fat are also unlikely to benefit because their obesity puts them at greater risk of dying from heart disease, stroke and cancer.
而且代謝速率慢的并變胖的人也不大可能從中受益,因?yàn)樗麄兊姆逝謺?huì)把他們推向因心臟病和中風(fēng),癌癥而瀕臨死亡的危險(xiǎn)。
