16、ds attention has been focused on the young man recently. Thanks to an interview conducted by South African director, TebogoMalope.In the video named Pavement Bookworm, the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion(热爱) for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of drugs and live a diffe

17、rent life. The well-spoken young man also talks about his favorite authors and clearly appreciates what makes him a fan of each one of them.Not surprisingly, after Malope uploaded the Pavement Bookworm video on YouTube. Dladla has become a celebrity(名人). In addition to being interviewed by other jou

18、rnalists, he has also received several job offers and even a visit from Steven Sidley, the author of Entanglement who hand-delivered(人工递送) his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.The best thing is that this newly found fame has led to a business boom. Locals now go out of their way to seek Dladla

19、 for book discussions and most importantly to buy his recommendations.

D.DeterminedBWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid a

24、ccumulation (积累)in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume fo

25、od without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖). When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly throug

26、h the digestive tract(消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when

27、weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原) and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstrea

28、m as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the bodys cells. The bodys metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increas

29、ingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize(中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of ra

30、w and whole foods can help. Its also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
