剔牙、削皮、洗牛仔裤……这15件事你可别再做了！
Don't floss, peel veg or wash your jeans: 15 things you can stop doing right now
If you've ever washed out a wound with saline instead of tap water or requested an x-ray for lower-back pain, you're a fool. Here are 15 more things you shouldn't bother doing.
如果你曾用盐水而不是自来水洗伤口,或者腰背疼就要求拍X光,那你就太傻了.下面的这15件事,你以后也别费力气做了.
1 Eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day
第一件事：每天吃五份蔬果.
The British government advises that we each eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. In Denmark, it's six. In Australia, it's seven. In 2014, campaigners tried upping it to 10. Just eat some vegetables and be done with it.
英国政府建议每人每天吃五份蔬果.丹麦政府则建议每天六份.澳大利亚政府建议的是每天七份.2014年,一些权益人士想要增加到每天十份.没必要这样,每天吃一些蔬菜就可以了.
2 Taking vitamin C supplements
第二件事：吃维C营养片.
If you feel a cold coming on, it's pointless to reach for the vitamin C tablets. Study after study has concluded that – unless you live in a frozen wilderness, smoke an incredibly large number of cigarettes or subject yourself to extreme physical stress on a regular basis – vitamin C won't do anything.
当你觉得自己有要感冒的迹象,这时服用维生素C片根本没用.许许多多的研究已经得出结论,除非你住在冰天雪地的荒野,或者是烟瘾缠身,又或是频繁进行极高强度的体能消耗,否则维他命C对你来说是完全没用的.
3 Flossing
第三件事：剔牙.
In August, the British Dental Association's scientific adviser declared flossing to be pointless, adding that all floss-based studies of the past 25 years have been of "very low quality". If you've never flossed your teeth, you were right all along. Go out there today and flash the world that foul-smelling, grey-green smile of yours. You've earned this.
2016年8月,英国牙科协会的科学顾问称,用牙线剔牙是没有用的,还补充道,过去25年做出的剔牙研究,质量堪忧.如果你从来没有剔过牙,那你一直以来都做对了.不如今天出门对着大家微笑,哪怕你有口臭,牙齿又不白.自信笑容,你值得拥有.
