New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods，after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan(寿命)．
“Consuming(消耗) hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk，” say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team.In hot peppers，such as Mexico peppers，the strong flavor comes from a compound(复合物)，which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions.Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a wealth of health benefits.
A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States showed that people who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food.Compared with people who did not consume hot red chili peppers，those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.
For example，a recent study reported by Medical News Today，found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer，while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers.Still，the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.
While the researchers are unable to discover the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan，the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症)．
Overall，the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study，linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption”. However，Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults，so the new research makes these findings more credible. 语篇解读 本文主要介绍了吃红辣椒可能有助于延长寿命的研究。 1．What is the finding of the new research mainly about?

We eat in our cars，at our desks，on the go，and in front of the TV.We eat take-out，packaged and prepared meals.Why？Because it fits our not-enough-time-in-the-day lifestyles. 4 Well，I’m certainly not the first one to think it or say it，but we all need to slow down.
Consumer trends around the globe show that over the past three decades people are purchasing more prepared foods at groceries and eating out more than ever before.It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years. 5 However，we’re getting less healthy.
While debates can be seen in different media over the food industry’s contribution to our growing waistlines and our health problems，the bottom line is this： 6 We can choose to eat a fast-food lunch on the go.We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner.We can eat without thinking，in front of the tube，at our computers，and while driving a car.
7 Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well-being.Eating sensibly doesn’t take much time or money，but it does require you to make a conscious decision to do so.Wrapped up in endless work，appointments and social activities，we often fail to enjoy a relaxing meal with our families.
While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first，just do your best.Remember that
B．Practical. D．Attractive.
the food you eat has a more significant effect on your health，weight and well-being than almost any other activities you do. 8 Every meal made at home—even just once or twice a week—is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower eating style.
A．Lunch is the biggest calorie intake when it comes to eating out. B．Treat it with the importance that it deserves，but start small. C．Our food matches our lives.
D．Purchase food locally and skip as many packaged items as you can. E．What we eat，where we eat and how we eat are all under our control. F．We’re consuming an increasing number of calories.
G．We can devote an hour of the day to enjoying a meal with our families.
