15、tty foods, only sweet candies and pretty much anything but salty foods. I never thought much about it. No one ever advises you to get enough sodium, but you hear all about calcium(钙).Dizziness upon standing, extremely low blood pressure and pulse, and clubbing fingers are all indicators that your so

Once my fingers started to club and my circulation was very bad, I knew something serious was happening.Later I was recommended to my current doctor who then
17、diagnosed me with POTS (basically I become dizzy upon standing due to low blood pressure). The treatment? Have salty foods to increase blood volume.

18、octor recommended the same.

19、alize that most people have the opposite problem and need to reduce sodium intake, but all I ask is that you do not go to the other extreme either.

23、tantB. people like going to extremesC. people dont eat healthy food nowadaysD. people should avoid eating something too much or too littleBChinese immigrants have lived and worked in America since the 1800s. Today, Asians are Americas fastest growing minority. Almost every major city in the country
24、has an area called “Chinatown.”From San Francisco to New York, people visit Chinatown for restaurants, grocery stores, herbal cures, and other businesses.

28、 creation of Chinatowns. Steve Wong tells about how the neighborhoods developed. He said, “Without being able to bring in families and women, Chinese men werent able to develop their communities. So they had to turn to the outside and create an economy based on tourism.”Min Zhou is a professor at th
29、e University of Southern California Los Angeles. In the past thirty years, Chinese immigrants from China came to America as students and then stayed in the United States.
