情景对话:
A: I can't believe my eyes, Bill. Are you having a salad for lunch? No hamburger?
B: I have got used to it, John. I'm off burgers for good.
Most fast food is loaded with sodium.
A: I know. But why your sudden interest in lessening your sodium intake?
B: My doctor says I should cut back on sodium-rich foods to lower my blood pressure.
A: Do you have hypertension? I would have thought you were too young for that.
B: Actually, my blood pressure isn't that high yet, but they say it increases with age.
A: Well, I'm glad you're starting to pay more attention to your diet.
B: I want to lower my risk of heart attack and stroke, too.
A: So do I. That's why I've been trying to lower my cholesterol level.
B: I've noticed you've been munching away on lots of fruits and vegetables recently.
A: That's right. I could lose a few pounds, too.
B: Great. Maybe we can be "diet buddies". You know, we can keep an eye on each other.
A: Ha ha, that's funny.
