A new study shows that theres a kind of food that canhelp with some of stress—walnuts. Walnuts are known tobe a healthy food. They have healthy fats and proteins2，which are good for the body and the mind. They may not bethe most popular food for students， but they have a positive effect3 both on stress andon the health of the body.

最近的一項研究表明，有一種食物可以幫助緩解壓力———核桃。核桃是眾所周知的健康食品。它含有健康的脂肪和蛋白質(zhì)，對身體和大腦都有好處。對于學(xué)生來說，它可能不是最受歡迎的食物，但對緩解壓力和身體健康都有積極的影響。

There were 80 students taking part in a study in the University of South Australia.One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16weeks. The other group of students was told not to eat walnuts for those 16 weeks.

南澳大學(xué)有80 名學(xué)生參加了一項研究。一組學(xué)生要在16 周內(nèi)每天吃大約半杯核桃。另一組被要求在那16 周內(nèi)不要吃核桃。

The study found that the stress of schoolwork was having a negative effect onstudentsmental4 health and on the protein in their bodies. But for the people whohad been eating walnuts， those were all getting better.

該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，學(xué)業(yè)壓力對學(xué)生的心理健康和體內(nèi)蛋白質(zhì)（含量）都有負(fù)面影響。

但是對于一直吃核桃的人來說，這些情況都有所改善。
