   People are interested in eating raw foods or whole foods partly because eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation(酸堆积)in our body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and processed foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both cases, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite system that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls(血管壁)and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will balance the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore our enzyme balance. We need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If we truly want to change and help our body heal itself, we need to take an active approach.

   When it comes to exercise,most of us fit into one of the two groups — those who keep a regular exercise habit and those who think about being more active but can’t seem to have a plan to do it consistently. Whatever your attitude to exercise,there’s another form of physical activity that many of us car-loving people can do to get enough movement in general.

Studies have shown that putting away your car and walking, biking or taking public transport to work can have a significant positive influence on your health by improving spirits, reducing body weight and lowering the risk of heart disease.

It’s not surprising that taking a bus or a train regularly leads to a more physically active lifestyle. Just think about what comes with using public transport. Those who travel to work without a car walk to stations, climb stairs, often stand while waiting for their bus or train, and then finally travel on foot or by bicycle to their destination. Such active transport can make up for the inactive time spent in work and school environments.

There’s no doubt that the improving public transport system in the city is influencing the way people work and live. But though the public transport system is improving, it is not within easy reach of everyone who would like to use it.

Bike-sharing programs are also growing in popularity(普及)and helping to bridge a gap in the crowded city public transport system. These programs allow users to easily book, ride and return a borrowed bike. Bike-sharing programs help people who might still need to travel some distance between the end of the bus or the underground line and their final destination. They also offer an opportunity to residents and visitors to travel freely around the city without being trapped in a car.

【小题1】What exercise does the author suggest for car-lovers?
A.Form a habit of taking exercise regularly.
B.Make a plan for exercise and take time for it.
C.Take a bus or a train and thus do some walking.
D.Live near the sports center for enough exercise.
【小题2】How can we make up for the inactive time we spend at work?
A.By taking public transport to work.
B.By taking a drive to the countryside for fresh air.
C.By climbing stairs and standing during breaks.
D.By making a plan for exercise and stick to it.
【小题3】What remains a disadvantage of public transport despite its improvement?
A.It’s too expensive and always comes late.
B.It’s too crowded and uncomfortable for travel.
C.It’s usually out of reach for most people.
D.Sometimes it can’t meet people’s demands.
【小题4】What can be known about bike-sharing programs?
A.They can prevent people from being trapped in accidents.
B.They help to improve the city’s public transport system.
C.They are beginning to replace public transport.
D.They are beginning to appear in some large crowded cities.
