6 . To write his 2010 book, The 5-Factor World Diet, nutritionist Harley Pasternak traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals extra nourishing.

He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Pasternak also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.

For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Pasternak. Contrast that with the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Pasternak’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.

For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make moderate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse (逆转) diabetes.

Most other health y eating cultures also make meals an event — say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch — as opposed to hastily (匆忙地) wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.

Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Pasternak did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only overlapping feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk way more than the average American,” said. Pasternak. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone walks four miles more than you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”

D．Diabetes or lung disease patients had better live an olive oil life.

There are a few ways Chinese restaurants are different from Western restaurants. In the West, everyone always gets their own menu     1     orders their own food. Since the tables are usually small, it is quite difficult to talk to or even see more than a few people during the meal. However,     2     modern China, usually everyone sits at large round tables where it is easy to see and talk with each other, even if it is     3     rather large group. When the food comes and is put in the middle of the table, everyone then serves     4     (them) by taking a small bit of food. Just as in the West, people can choose what they want to eat. But in the West,     5     (important) is placed on the individual and having one’s own preferences, while in China on sharing and community. Everyone still gets what they want, but it is a     6     (share) experience. Since people     7     (seat) at around table, everyone is treated equally. No one is given     8     (great) power over another. Nevertheless, respect is still shown to older people or people of higher status, as they always sit at the far end of the room     9     (face) the door.

China has many different styles of food, a wide range of ingredients and cooking methods. Therefore, when you are in China you should make an effort     10     (enjoy) Chinese food as the Chinese do — as a group experience — a time for sharing, family, and friendship.
