Researchers filmed 62 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 28 who were given various foods to eat until they felt satisfied. During three separate trials, the participants were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone, or reading a magazine. The study showed that on average, volunteers ate 591 calories while using their smartphones compared to 535 calories without any distractions. Additionally, those who were considered overweight consumed an average of 616 calories while using their phones. The researchers also discovered that using smartphones during meals prevented the brain from accurately registering the amount of food ingested. Consequently, when using their smartphones, the volunteers consumed 10% more fatty food, and they also ate more when reading magazines. Lead author Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa stated that smartphones and tablets have become primary distractors during meals, even for children. Distractions like these prevent the brain from correctly understanding the amount of food ingested, making it essential to pay attention to how this can impact food choices. This study highlights the importance of limiting distractions and staying mindful of what we eat to maintain healthy eating habits. The findings have been published in the journal Physiology and Behavior. 【重点词汇&词组】 1. consume (v.) - 消耗、消费 2. calories (n.) - 卡路里 3. fatty foods (n.) - 富含脂肪的食物 4. smartphones (n.) - 智能手机 5. eating (n.) - 进餐 6. researchers (n.) - 研究人员 7. filmed (v.) - 录像、拍摄 8. volunteers (n.) - 志愿者 9. ages (n.) - 年龄 10. satisfied (adj.) - 满足的 11. distractions (n.) - 分神、干扰 12. recorded (v.) - 记录、记录下来 13. overweight (adj.) - 超重的 14. discovered (v.) - 发现、发掘 15. accurately (adv.) - 准确地 16. registering (v.) - 登记、注册 17. ingested (v.) - 摄入、吸入 18. consequently (adv.) - 因此、所以 19. volunteering (v.) - 自愿参加、志愿工作 20. highlights (n.) - 强调、突出 21. limiting (v.) - 限制、限定 22. distractions (n.) - 分心、干扰 23. mindful (adj.) - 注意到、警觉的 24. impact (n.) - 影响、冲击 25. healthy (adj.) - 健康的 26. findings (n.) - 发现、研究结果 27. published (v.) - 发表、出版 28. journal (n.) - 杂志、期刊 29. tablet (n.) - 平板电脑 30. primary (adj.) - 主要的、首要的 31. distractors (n.) - 分心、干扰因素 32. children (n.) - 儿童 33. prevent (v.) - 防止、阻止 34. brain (n.) - 大脑 35. average (adj.) - 平均的、一般的 36. registered (adj.) - 注册的、登记的 37. amount (n.) - 数量、量、总数 38. food (n.) - 食物、食品 39. ingested (adj.) - 摄入的、吸入的 40. essential (adj.) - 必要的、重要的 41. maintain (v.) - 保持、维持 42. habits (n.) - 习惯、风俗 43.
