News Channel 8 in Portland recently reported on the 108th birthday celebration of Loreen Dinwiddie. Though brief, the story said a lot about longevity and the power of a plant-based diet like The Hallelujah Diet.
波特兰(美国俄勒冈西北部港市)第8新闻频道报道了Loreen Dinwiddie108岁的生日庆祝会。尽管简短，但这个故事讲述了很多关于长寿和象哈利路亚式的植物性饮食的力量。
When asked about what she eats to promote a healthy lifestyle, Loreen says, “It’s all there in the Bible.”
当被问起她吃什么来促进健康生活方式时，Loreen说到：“答案全在圣经中。”
Indeed, Genesis 1:29, the original diet for mankind says it all. Food that grows from the ground has all of the antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, phytonutrients, etc needed to sustain our bodies — apparently for 108 years or more!
确实在创世纪 1：29中已经讲述了所有为人类提供的最初食物。从土地长出的食物含有抗氧化物、维他命、矿物质、脂肪、蛋白、碳水化合物、植物营养素等全部能够维持我们身体的营养成分——显然可以维持108年或者更久。
But eating a “vegan” diet doesn’t guarantee a long life. Remember that even refined sugar is vegan and is often an ingredient in vegan recipes. This calls for education on the part of anyone looking to a plant-based diet for reasons of health.
但是吃纯素未必能保证长寿。请注意甚至精糖也是纯素食品，并且经常出现在素食菜谱的成分中。这就要求必须对任何以健康为由而采用植物性饮食的人群进行相关的教育。
Granulated, refined, white sugar at the coffee shop is vegan (and granted, plant-based), but it’s not a whole food. A whole food is one that is still in its natural state, unrefined. Refined sugar has been stripped of its naturally occurring benefits and refined into an unnatural, health-deteriorating, disease-causing substance.
咖啡店采用的颗粒状精制白糖(被准许使用并且是植物性的)并不是完整性的食物。一个完整的食物仍然是自然状态并未精制的。精制糖已经被夺去了它自然属性的好处，而被精制成为了一个非自然的会恶化健康状态并导致疾病的物质。
Freshly extracted sugarcane juice, on the other hand, is a plant-based, whole food that a relatively low glycemic index, which keeps the body’s metabolism healthy and helps maintain a healthy body weight — how ironic is that! Sugarcane also contains phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. And in India and other countries it has been used to fight the common cold for centuries.
另一方面非常讽刺的是鲜榨的甘蔗汁是植物性的完整食物，会使人有相对较低的血糖指数，能够保持人身体的新陈代谢健康并帮助人维持健康的体重。甘蔗同时也含有磷、钙、铁、镁和钾。并且在印度和其他一些国家，几个世纪以来，它都被用作抵抗感冒的食物。
The simple truth is that raw, plant-based, whole foods have the living enzymes that our bodies need to thrive and replace dying cells with healthy new ones. Loreen Dinwiddie has taken advantage of this truth, and you can, too.
这个简单的真理即是：生的、植物性的完整性食物含有活性酶，它能够使我们身体茁壮成长，并使健康的新细胞替换衰老的细胞。Loreen Dinwiddie已经从这个真理中得到利益，并且你也一样能够做到如此。
