People’s Moods and Their Health
Recently some American scientists made an experiment．They drew into test tubes（试管）people’s breath under different moods，and then put the test tubes in a container filled with ice and water．When breath turned into liquid，scientists found that when a person is relaxed，his breath is clear．When he is sad，white sediment（沉淀物）appears．When someone feels worried about something．the breath looks cream—colored．And when he is angry，it is purple．After the liquid with purple sediment was injected（注射）into a white rat，it died in several minutes．After further study，scientist found out that if a person remains angry for ten minutes，he will use up much energy as he does after running hundred meters．Anger leads to strong reaction and produces very poisonous secretion（分泌物）．Obviously anger is really bad for people’s health． Here is some of the experts’ advice on how to be in a good mood：
※Choose healthy foods．Enjoy lots of fresh fruits and vegetables．Eat less sugar，Avoid fats．Drink lots of water．
※Move more．Exercise regularly。for a healthy heart，strong bones and more balanced moods．
※If you smoke。give it up．
