According to the nation's 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, girls aged 14 to 18 should have at least 2.5 cups of vegetables and 1.5 cups of fruit every day. Boys aged 14 to 18 should have 3 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit. The CDC used data from over 13,000 high school students, collected as part of its Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2017. This research found that only 7.1% of US teenagers were eating the minimum amount of fruits and only 2% were eating the minimum amount of vegetables. The study also looked at differences in the results between 33 US states.Connecticut had the lowest number high school students who ate enough fruit, at 4%, while Louisiana had the highest at 9.3%. At 0.6%, Kansas had the lowest number high school students who ate enough vegetables, and New Mexico had the highest at just 3.7%. The results of the 2017 surveys are even worse than in earlier studies. In 2013, 8.5% of high school students were eating enough fruit, and 2.1% ate enough vegetables. 🍎🥦🌶🍆Summary🍎🥦🌶🍆 美國疾病管制與預防中心（CDC） 2017年的研究發現，美國大部分青少年皆未攝取足量的蔬果。僅7.1%的美國青少年有達到最低的水果攝取量，並且僅有2%青少年達到最低蔬菜攝取量。這項調查結果顯示青少年在攝取蔬果上有退步的趨勢。2013年的時候，至少還有8.5%的高中生攝取足夠的水果，以及2.1%的高中生攝取足夠的蔬菜。 🍎🥦🌶🍆Words & Phrases🍎🥦🌶🍆 dietary 飲食的 guideline(常用複數)指導方針, 指南, 準則 #每周二、四更新 #歡迎留言給Neil ----- 主持人：陳彣 (Neil) ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：英語Follow me ----- ▍教育電臺 ▍官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV ▍粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink ▍線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE Powered by Firstory Hosting
