[英语角]跟大力水手学：每天一份菠菜，大脑年轻11岁！（English）

Eating SpinachMakes You Mentally Sharp

         While Popeye ate spinach every day to maintain strong muscles,he was also bettering his memory,maybe without even kowning it.
         Consuming just a daily serving of spinach-or any type of leafy green,for that matter-may help slow the process of age-associated cognitive decline,according to a new study.The reason?Vitamin K.
         A group of researchers at Rush University in Chicago who analyzed the diets and mental functions of 954 elderly people over a five-year period found that those who ate more greens in their diets were more likely to be mentally sharp.
         The researchers tracked the diets of participants,whose age averaged 81,for an average of five years. They found that people who ate one or two daily portions of green leafy vegetables had the same cognitive abilities as someone 11 years younger who never consumed leafy greens.
         “No other studies have looked at vitamin K in relation to change in cognitive abilities over time,and only a limited number of studies have found some association with lutein,"said Martha Clare Morris,Sc.D.,assistant provost for community research at  Rush University Medical Center and the leader of the leader of the study's research team.The team believes that other foods high in these nutrients, like asparagus and carrots could provide the same benefits as the darker greens,and they intend to expend their research to explore this possibility.
         The research holds promise of a brain booster that is accessible and affordable.“Since delining cognitive ability is central to Alzheimer's disease and dementia,increasing consumption of green leafy vegetables could offer a very simple,affordable and non-invasive way of potentially protecting your brain from Alzheimer's disease and dementia,”Morris said.

HYJMXB：在大力水手每天吃菠菜以保持肌肉强健的同时，他的记忆力也得到了改善，甚至可能不了解它。
         一项新的研究表明，每天只吃菠菜或任何类型的绿叶蔬菜，可能有助于减缓与年龄相关的认知能力下降的过程。原因是维生素K。

谢谢帮忙，，

HYJMXB：我翻译的不好····好吧我还是需要去下一个翻译软件····回到原帖

没关系，就当练习吧，多练习才会有进步得嘛~~~

HYJMXB：我还是比较喜欢自己翻译····虽然我的英语不好回到原帖

我每次做翻译题时，都觉得牛头不对马嘴，唉………………

以后我尽量每日一更，谢谢大家

HYJMXB：你还有一部分没有翻译回到原帖

嗯，我去吧

“’没有其他研究关注维生素K与认知能力随时间变化的关系，只有有限数量的研究发现它与叶黄素有关，”Sc，D的玛莎·克莱尔·莫里斯说。他是拉什大学医学中心(Rush University Medical Center)社区研究的助理教务长，也是该研究团队的负责人。研究小组认为，其他富含这些营养物质的食物，如芦笋和胡萝卜，可以提供与深绿色蔬菜相同的营养，他们打算扩大研究以探索这种可能性。

这项研究有望成为一种可获得且负担得起的大脑助推器。莫里斯说，由于对认知能力的控制是阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症的核心，因此增加绿叶蔬菜的消费可以提供一种非常简单、负担得起且非侵入性的方式，潜在地保护你的大脑免受阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症的侵害。

tsl2922：吃菠菜让你精神充沛
当大力水手每天吃菠菜来保持强壮的肌肉时，他的记忆力也在提高，也许连他自己都不知道。根据一项新的研究，每天只吃一份菠菜或任何种类的绿叶蔬菜可能有助于减缓与年龄相关的认知衰退的过程。原因是什么呢？芝加哥拉什大学的一组研究人...回到原帖

干脆以后你帮我翻译算了（笑）
