5条最踏实的新年健康计划

爱思英语编者按：如果你曾经做了什么新年计划，恐怕现在就已经“破功”了吧？所以干嘛不重新来过？几乎所有人都会在新年给自己制定一个健康计划。通常是减肥、多运动、少喝酒或者戒烟。有的人甚至四项一起来。不过别。挑一个你真正想做的。把它写下来、制定好计划，并且告诉你身边的人。

1. Don't bother with detoxing diets or regimes. There is no evidence that any of them work and your body detoxes itself quite well already thanks. Detox diets are usually highly restrictive and very low in calories. There is no magic bullet in dieting. It's all about sensible calorie restriction and exercise. Eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and don't eat because you are anything other than hungry.

理性减肥很重要——关于什么排毒减肥餐、排毒养身法的就别管了。根本没有证据表明它们真的有用，而感谢上帝你的身体本身就能很好地排毒。排毒减肥餐通常都异常严格、并且卡路里量极低。要记住在减肥中，没有什么速成法。最有用就是理性控制卡路里摄入、多做运动。每天吃5份蔬果，还有，除非真的饿了，否则别吃东西。

2. Be altruistic. The positive psychology movement swears that doing good deeds has fabulous mental health benefits. Donate time or money to charity, or just make your colleagues copious cups of tea.

心理健康同样重要——在新的一年里放开怀、做个无私的人。心理学研究表明，多做好事对人的心理健康有绝对的好处。为慈善事业有钱出钱、有力出力、有时间奉献时间吧！或者仅仅是帮你的同事泡一杯好茶，也能让你身心健康。

3. Give up smoking. Even if you love it and your grandma smoked and lived to 100, you have to stop. It causes more cancers than there are cigarettes in a packet, it's expensive and you have to do it outside in the cold. Everyone wants you to stop!

戒烟、一定要戒！——即便你就是爱死抽烟了，并且你祖母也抽、还活了100岁，你也得戒。它致癌、还贵、还逼得你必须到冷飕飕的室外站着吸。这就是人人都嚷着要你戒烟的原因！

4. Drink sensibly. You don't need to abstain during January as it has no long-term health benefits. Just don't open a bottle of wine between two of you every evening and decide it's not quite enough. For an evening, (especially a weekday) it really is.

饮酒要适量——别嚷嚷着完全戒酒，跟着就只坚持到1月。不长期坚持真的一点用都没有。别一到晚上就开酒、喝完一瓶还觉不够。一瓶真的够了，特别是工作日。

5. Be more active. Unless you already run marathons you can generally benefit from more exercise; do anything that increases your heart rate for 20-30 minutes, four times a week.

多动动总是好的——除非你是刚刚跑完了马拉松，多动动总是对你有好处的。任何能提高心率的运动都好，一次坚持20到30分钟、一周四次。
