2 . Are you the type to run before breakfast in a morning? Working out on an empty stomach won't hurt you ——and it may actually help, depending on your goal.
Exercising before eating comes with the risk of feeling light-headed due to low blood sugar. You might feel tired or uneasy, and won't be able to work out as enthusiastically as you would have. A light amount of food is important for older adults over 55 to eat something before exercising — especially in the morning. But if your primary exercise goal is weight loss, exercising on an empty stomach may come with some promising benefits. There's some research to support the idea that working out in a fasted （禁食的）state can burn more fat than exercising in a fed state.
Working out on an empty stomach, however, may also not prove true for everyone. “Some people advocate for lasted exercise, but these people tend to be young and in amazing physical - shape,” says Douglas Paddon-Jones, a muscle physiology researcher and a professor of aging and health at the University of Texas Medical Branch. “They have no health problems, and what they're eating is super-high quality and carefully regulated.” On the other hand, working out in a fasted state without proper planning or professional oversight may run the risk of unhealthy body composition changes.
For people who aren't athletes, fueling up with food before a workout may be the best way to get the most fat-burning benefit. “You don't want to fill up； you just want to give your body a burst of energy to power your training period. After you exercise, drink some water ——but wait 60 to 90 minutes before eating, ”says Shivani Sahni, director of the nutrition program at Harvard University's Instituted for Aging Research. “You're trying to take advantage of your promoted metabolic （新陈代谢）rate post-exercise, so if you can go an hour or an hour and a half without eating, you'll maximize the fat-burning response,” says she.

4 . One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could - he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
