泰国"僧侣界"掀起减肥风

Thailand's overweight monks are put on a diet

Steps are being taken in Thailand to wean Buddhist monks off unhealthy food after a study suggested that almost half of them are overweight.

泰国正在采取各种措施帮佛教僧侣们改掉不健康的饮食习惯，因为已有调查表明，近一半的泰国僧侣超重。

Jongjit Angkatavanich, a health and nutrition expert at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, says 48% of monks are obese, the Bangkok Post reports. Her warning that "Obesity in our monks is a ticking time bomb" seems to have given the religious authorities cause for concern, with her figures showing that 42% have high cholesterol levels, 23% suffer from high blood pressure, and over 10% are diabetic. Dr Jongjit didn't say how many monks were involved in a study, but she's helping to roll out a national programme aimed at slimming down Thailand's holy men.

据《曼谷邮报》报道，曼谷朱拉隆功大学营养饮食专家宗集德提供的数据显示，泰国48%的僧侣过于肥胖，42%的僧侣体内胆固醇含量偏高，23%患有高血压，还有超过10%的僧侣患有糖尿病。宗集德认为，“僧侣肥胖问题是一颗定时炸弹。宗教当局似乎也开始注意到这个问题了。宗集德教授并未透露此次研究中所涉及的僧侣人数。她本人正在协助推动一个全国性项目的展开，旨在帮泰国圣僧减肥。
