“營養愛好者”吃出健康

如何才能“吃出健康”現在是人們非常關注的話題。根據微量營養元素選擇食物的“營養愛好者”也越來越多了。

Nutritarian refers to a person who chooses foods based on their micronutrient content.
營養愛好者指的是根據微量營養元素選擇食物的人。

Central to nutritarianism is the understanding that fruits and vegetables contain thousands of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals— substances they believe are not found in any other food source.
營養愛好主義的核心是，認為水果與蔬菜富含數千種維生素、礦物質和植物素—營養愛好者認為植物素無法從其他食物來源中獲取。

So, how can you tell if a food is high in phytonutrients?
那么，如何確定食物富含植物素呢？

Eat the rainbow, says Jairam Vanamala, a professor in Colorado State University’s department of food science and human nutrition. Since phytochemicals and color are linked, eating fruits and vegetables representing a wide range of colors provides a smorgasbord of phytochemicals.
科羅拉多州立大學食品科學與人類營養學系教授Jairam Vanamala說，要吃得“五彩繽紛”。由于植物素與顏色有關聯，食用多種顏色的水果和蔬菜能為人們提供多種營養素。
