Heart disease is the leading cause of disability and death worldwide. 1. With that in mind, if you knew that you could help keep your heart healthy by eating just a little bit less every day- about six standard-size Oreos’ worth of calories-would you?
Researchers have found evidence that just a modest reduction in our daily caloric intake (摄入) could have protective benefits for our hearts. They drew on data from the Long term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (ERIE) study. According to the study, the experiment began with 218 participants, all of whom were normal weight or just slightly overweight and between the ages of 21 and 50. Researchers started 143 participants on a diet that reduced their caloric intake by 25%. 2.. In the end, 188 participants completed the study-117 with caloric restriction and 71 without. Over two years, people in the calorie-cutting group reduced their caloric intake by an average of about 12%.
3.. They lost about 16.5 pounds on average and saw improvements, including lowered cholesterol (胆固醇) and blood pressure, on all six primary factors associated with risks to heart health. “We expected there to be some improvement on cardiometabolic (心血管代谢) factors,” says William Kraus, the study’s lead author. “4..”
Though the weight loss was relatively impressive, it wasn’t responsible for a majority of the heart benefits. After conducting further analysis, researchers determined that caloric restriction can have health benefits above and beyond those normally associated with weight loss. “5..”
A. We need to do exercise to benefit heart.
B. The others were assigned to a normal diet.
C. It can hold back negative effects of aging.
D. But we didn’t expect the degree of improvement we saw.
E. About 2,200 people in the U.S. die per day due to heart problems.
F. The experiment was carried out by comparing two different groups.
G. This reduction in calories had significant effects on the participants who ate less.
