美国文化介绍

三.美国文化介绍

我们在学英语的过程中，无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们，学习一种语言，不只要学其语言，还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧！

很多美国人每年进行一次全面体检。届时，医生为被检查者测脉搏，量血压，还可能进行验血及X光检查。最后，医生可能开出一套保健良方（

包括保健和运动）。参加运动计划之前也一定要健康检查，否则健身房的负责人可能受罚。

运动有利于身体健康（Campaign will help with health）

1.适当的体育锻炼能使人精力充沛

2能使人减肥，改善血液循环

3运动使人的大脑得到适当的休息

For thousands of years, physical activity has been associated with health. Today, science has confirmed the link, with overwhelming evidence that people who lead active lifestyles are less likely to die early, or to experience major illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer.

Exercise benefits every part of the body, including the mind. Exercising causes the body to produce endorphins, chemicals that lead a person to feel peaceful and happy. Exercise can help some people sleep better. It can also help with mental health issues such as mild depression and self-esteem. Plus, exercise can give people a real sense of accomplishment and pride at having achieved a certain goal - like beating an old time in the 100-meter dash.

Exercising can help you look better, too. People who exercise burn calories and look more toned than those who don't. In fact, exercise is one of the most important parts of keeping your body at a healthy weight. When you exercise, you burn food calories as fuel. If a person eats more calories than he or she burns, the body stores them away as fat. Exercise can help burn these stored calories.

Finally, exercising to maintain a healthy weight also decreases a person's risk of developing certain diseases, including

type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
