IronandtheEffectsofExercise鐵與運(yùn)動(dòng)的關(guān)系(中英互譯)

1、5鐵與運(yùn)動(dòng)的關(guān)系Iron and the Effects of ExercisePara 1 Sports medicine experts have observed for years that endurance athletes, particularly females, frequently have iron deficiencies. Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in

Her study of

4、men who consumed additional meat or took iron supplements were able to bounce back,”she notes. “But the new exercisers who followed theirnormal diet showed a decrease in iron levels.”萊爾指出：“那些增食肉類食品或服用鐵質(zhì)補(bǔ)劑的女性能夠恢復(fù)到健康狀態(tài)。但突然參加鍛 煉卻仍沿用舊食譜的人則顯示出鐵含量降低。 ”Para 4 Iron deficiency is very common among women in g

5、eneral, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means, Lyle says, that“too many womenignore the amount of iron they take in”. Women of chi

6、ldbearing age are atgreatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weigh

7、t, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are liable to experience a deficiency. 缺鐵在女性中是很常見的，每四個(gè)十幾歲的少女中有一人缺鐵，每五個(gè) 18 至 45 歲的女性 中有一人缺鐵。 而在積極鍛煉的婦女中這一比例更高， 女耐力運(yùn)動(dòng)員中， 缺鐵者比例則高達(dá) 80% 。萊爾說，這意味著“太多女性忽視了自己攝入的鐵含量” 。育齡女性危險(xiǎn)最大，因?yàn)?月經(jīng)是鐵流失的重要原因之一。 此外， 許多保健意識(shí)太強(qiáng)的女性也很危險(xiǎn)， 因?yàn)樗齻兙芙^食 用牛肉或羊肉， 而這些肉中含有的鐵最易被吸收。 而且，由于女性常常

8、為了控制體重而節(jié)食， 從而未能攝取足夠的含鐵豐富的食物，結(jié)果可能導(dǎo)致缺鐵。Para 5 “The average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily allowance of iron, ”notes another expert.“For a woman who already has a pooriron status, any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious

9、deficiency,”notes the expert.另一名專家指出， “普通女性每天攝入的鐵只是應(yīng)攝入量的三分之二。 ”他指出，“對(duì)于那些 已經(jīng)缺鐵的女性，任何因鍛煉而產(chǎn)生的更多鐵質(zhì)流失都足以導(dǎo)致體內(nèi)缺鐵狀況的惡化。 ”Para 6 Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of the mechanisms.Some iron is lost in sweat, and, for unknown reasons, intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with b

10、leeding of the digestive system. Athletes in high-impact sports such as running may also lose iron through a phenomenon where small blood vessels in the feet leak blood. 運(yùn)動(dòng)可能通過多種機(jī)制導(dǎo)致鐵流失。 有些鐵隨汗液流失。 另外，由于某些未知的原因， 高強(qiáng) 度的耐力運(yùn)動(dòng)有時(shí)會(huì)引起消化系統(tǒng)內(nèi)出血。 運(yùn)動(dòng)員從事跑步之類高強(qiáng)度劇烈運(yùn)動(dòng)， 也可能會(huì) 因?yàn)樽悴垦苁а默F(xiàn)象而使鐵質(zhì)流失。Para 7 There are three st

11、ages of iron deficiency. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. Fatigueand poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency, when not enough iron is present to form the molecules of blood protein that transport oxygen

12、to the working muscles. In the third and final stage, people ofte n feel weak, tired, and out of breath and exercise performa nee is severelycompromised.缺鐵分為三個(gè)階段： 第一也即最常見的階段， 是鐵質(zhì)儲(chǔ)量不足。這一階段一般沒有癥狀。到 了缺鐵的第二階段， 就會(huì)出現(xiàn)疲倦和力不從心， 此時(shí)體內(nèi)已沒有足夠的鐵來形成血蛋白分子， 將氧輸至運(yùn)動(dòng)肌肉。在第三即最后階段，人常常感到虛弱、疲乏無力、喘不過氣，運(yùn)動(dòng)成績 大打折扣。Pare 8“People

13、think that if they 're not at the third stage, nothing is wrong, butthat 'snot true, ”says John L. Beard, who helped design the Purdue study.“You're not in stage 3 until your iron reserves go to zero, and if you wait untilthat point, you're in trouble. ”“人們認(rèn)為，只要不到第三階段就不會(huì)有什么問題。這種想法是不對(duì)

15、not sufficient, Beard states. Instead, it's important to check levels of a differentcompound, which indicate the amount of storage of iron in the blood. While active, childbearing age women are most likely to have low iron stores, he notes,“Men are not safe, especially if they don'teat meat

16、and have a high level ofphysical activity.”(An estimated 15 percent of male long distance runners havelow iron stores.) Beard and other experts say it'sadvisable for people in thesegroups to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves.然而， 比爾德指出， 大多數(shù)鐵質(zhì)儲(chǔ)量低的人并未意識(shí)到自己缺鐵， 因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)的檢驗(yàn)血液中鐵 含量的方法檢驗(yàn)

17、血液中輸送洋氣的血蛋白的含量是不夠的。其實(shí)， 有必要檢查血液 中另一種混合成分的含量， 它可以顯示血液中的鐵含量。 他還指出， 雖然積極鍛煉的育齡婦 女最有可能鐵含量低， “但男性也并非不缺鐵，尤其是在他們不吃肉類而又從事高強(qiáng)度的體 力活動(dòng)的情況下。 ”(估計(jì)有 15% 的男性長跑運(yùn)動(dòng)員鐵含量低。 )比爾德和其他專家都說， 對(duì)這些人而言，最好每年驗(yàn)一次血，以測(cè)定血液中的鐵含量。Pare 1o If iron levels are low, talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by modifyin

18、g your diet or by taking supplements. In general, it 's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings. Supplements may produce a feeling of wanting to throw up, and may be poisonous in some cases. The best sources of

19、 iron, and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body, are meat, chicken, and fish. Good sources of other forms of iron include dates, beans, and some leafy green vegetables. 如果鐵含量低， 就要去看醫(yī)生， 以確定是否該通過調(diào)整飲食或服用鐵質(zhì)補(bǔ)劑來校正不足。 般說來， 解決問題是最好方法是在食譜中增加含鐵豐富的食物， 因?yàn)殍F質(zhì)補(bǔ)劑可能存在嚴(yán)重 缺陷。 服用鐵質(zhì)補(bǔ)劑可能

20、使人想嘔吐，有時(shí)甚至還會(huì)引起中毒。最好的鐵來源，以及唯一最 易為身體所吸收的鐵來源，是肉、雞和魚。 其他較好的鐵質(zhì)來源包括棗、 豆類和一些多葉綠 色蔬菜。Pare 11 “Select breads and cereals with the wordsiron-added 'on the label, ”writes sports diet expert Nancy Clark.“This added iron supplements the smallamount that naturally occurs in grains.
