人们常说“吃出健康”，因为饮食和健康密切相关。其实不仅如此，科学研究表明，饮食还会影响我们的情绪。
Can you eat yourself happier?
by Amy Fleming
Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, Felice Jacka struggled with anxiety and panic disorders; by the time she enrolled at art school, she was accustomed to regular bouts of depression, too, leaving her "devoid of happy feelings and unable to experience pleasure".
Melbourne /ˈmelbən/ n. 墨尔本
struggle /ˈstrʌɡ(ə)l/ v. 苦苦挣扎
anxiety /æŋˈzaɪəti/ n. 焦虑
panic /ˈpænɪk/ n. 惊慌、恐慌
disorder /dɪˈsɔːdə(r)/ n. 疾病、失调（由order加上表示否定的前缀dis-）
enrol /ɪnˈrəʊl/ v. 登记入学
accustomed /əˈkʌstəmd/ adj. 习惯的
regular /ˈreɡjʊlə(r)/ adj. 经常的
bout /baʊt/ n. 发病期
depression /dɪˈpreʃ(ə)n/ n. 抑郁症
devoid /dɪˈvɔɪd/ of 缺乏（某件必需品）
But in her late 20s Jacka managed to recover and stay well by focusing on her diet, exercise and sleep. The effect was so marked that it inspired her to put her life as an artist on hold in order to dedicate herself to studying the effects of diet on mental health.
manage to do something 成功做某事
recover /rɪˈkʌvə(r)/ v. 康复、痊愈

on hold 搁置、推迟
dedicate /ˈdedɪkeɪt/ v. 奉献
mental /ˈment(ə)l/ adj. 心理的、精神的
For her PhD study in 2010, Jacka found that women whose diets were higher in vegetables, fruit, fish and wholegrains, with moderate amounts of red meat, were less likely to have depression or anxiety disorders than those who consumed a typical western diet of processed foods, pizza, chips, burgers, white bread and sweet drinks.
PhD 博士、博士学位
wholegrains /ˈhəʊlɡreɪnz/ n. 全谷物
moderate /ˈmɒd(ə)rət/ adj. 中等的

burger /ˈbɜːɡə(r)/ n. 汉堡包、汉堡中的肉饼
white bread 白面包（指用精制面粉做的面包）
"When I first started, people were terribly sceptical – they thought it was just rubbish," says Jacka. "In psychiatry, people are trained to think about particular molecules in the brain that can be targeted by certain drugs and they've lost sight of the bigger picture – the body as a whole complex system."
terribly /ˈterəbli/ adv. 非常
sceptical /ˈskeptɪk(ə)l/ adj. 持怀疑态度的
psychiatry /saɪˈkaɪətri/ n. 精神病学
particular /pəˈtɪkjulə(r)/ adj. 特定的

certain /ˈsɜːt(ə)n/ adj. 某些
drug /drʌɡ/ n. 药物
lose sight of 忽视
picture /ˈpɪktʃə(r)/ n. 情况、情形
complex /ˈkɒmpleks/ adj. 复杂的
More than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers later, Jacka has amassed evidence from all over the world showing that "what we stick in our mouths matters to our mental health".
peer-reviewed /ˌpɪərɪˈvjuːd/ adj. 同行评审的
paper /ˈpeɪpə(r)/ n. 论文
amass /əˈmæs/ v. （大量地）积累
evidence /ˈevɪd(ə)ns/ n. 证据
stick /stɪk/ v. 放
matter /ˈmætə(r)/ v. 有关系、要紧
She is keen to snuff out fanciful ideas about quick fixes, and food trends dressed up as panaceas – the success resulted not from "clean eating" or coconut oil, but from following standard advice for a healthy, balanced diet.
keen /kiːn/ adj. 热情的、热切的
snuff /snʌf/ out 扑灭、熄灭
fanciful /ˈfænsɪf(ə)l/ adj. 凭空想象的
fix /fɪks/ n. 解决方案

panacea /ˌpænəˈsiːə/ n. 万能药

follow /ˈfɒləʊ/ v. 遵从、遵循
standard /ˈstændəd/ adj. 标准的
balanced /ˈbæl(ə)nst/ adj. 平衡的、均衡的
Overall, Jacka has found that simply following a healthier diet – without other lifestyle modifications such as exercise, but taking into account things such as education, income, body weight and other health behaviours – results in a 30% reduced risk of depression.
overall /ˌəʊvəˈrɔːl/ adv. 总体而言
simply /ˈsɪmpli/ adv. 仅仅
lifestyle /ˈlaɪfstaɪl/ n. 生活方式（由life和style组成）
modification /ˌmɒdɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/ n. 改变
take into account 考虑进去、计入
income /ˈɪnkʌm/ n. 收入
result in 导致
risk /rɪsk/ n. 风险
That healthier diet may vary from country to country, but research has shown that, regardless of where you live, eating closer to a traditional, pre-industrial diet rich in plant foods, fish, unrefined grains and fermented foods, with less meat and highly palatable processed and snack foods, reduces your risk of depression.★ It could be the Mediterranean diet or Japanese cuisine rich in fish, seaweed, green tea and tofu.
vary /ˈveəri/ v. 不同、变化
regardless /rɪˈɡɑːdləs/ of 不管、无论
traditional /trəˈdɪʃ(ə)n(ə)l/ adj. 传统的（由tradition加后缀-al变成形容词）
pre- 前缀，意思是“之前”
industrial /ɪnˈdʌstriəl/ adj. 工业的（由industry加后缀-al变成形容词）
rich /rɪtʃ/ adj. 丰富的
unrefined /ˌʌnrɪˈfaɪnd/ adj. 未精制的、未精炼的
grain /ɡreɪn/ n. 谷物
ferment /fəˈment/ v. 发酵
highly /ˈhaɪli/ adv. 高度地（由high加后缀-ly变成副词）
palatable /ˈpælətəb(ə)l/ adj. 美味的
★ 这句话里traditional和pre-industrial之间的逗号相当于and，其作用是使traditional和pre-industrial并列，一起修饰后面的diet。此外，这句话的插入语较多，容易影响理解。它的主体是：That healthier diet may vary from country to country, but research has shown that ... eating closer to a traditional, pre-industrial diet rich in plant foods, fish, unrefined grains and fermented foods ... reduces your risk of depression.
Mediterranean /ˌmedɪtəˈreɪniən/ adj. 地中海的
cuisine /kwɪˈziːn/ n. （某种）菜肴
seaweed /ˈsiːwiːd/ n. 海带
tofu /ˈtəʊfuː/ n. 豆腐
With half of all mental-health disorders setting in by age 14, the importance of diet is especially relevant to young people – but as in the UK and US, Australian teenagers are eating multiple servings of junk foods every day.
set in （不好的事情）到来
relevant /ˈreləv(ə)nt/ adj. 相关的
multiple /ˈmʌltɪp(ə)l/ adj. 多个
serving /ˈsɜːvɪŋ/ n. 一份（食物）
junk /dʒʌŋk/ food 垃圾食品
Messages about obesity and health problems in a distant, abstract future do not seem to be influencing people's eating behaviours, but they might act on the knowledge that these same foods could be making them unhappy, says Jacka.
obesity /əʊˈbiːsəti/ n. 肥胖
distant /ˈdɪst(ə)nt/ adj. 遥远的
abstract /ˈæbstrækt/ adj. 抽象的
influence /ˈɪnfluəns/ v. 影响
act /ækt/ v. 采取行动
