After the Airport

Once again, the Mediterranean diet has been named the world's best by US News & World Report.

The diet, which is eaten across the world but is based on foods and recipes from countries around the Mediterranean Sea, has now been at the top of the list for six years.

Its focus on fruit, vegetables, olive oil and fish has helped the Mediterranean diet to the top, according to US News.

A team of experts looked at 24 different diets, putting them in order from best to worst.

There were also a number of different category winners.

The Mediterranean diet was chosen as the best plant-based diet, and, along with the flexitarian diet, it tied as the best for families. It also tied with the DASH diet as the best for healthy bones.

The flexitarian diet encourages people to eat a vegetarian diet most of the time, but still allows some meat.

The DASH diet is meant to help people with high blood pressure. It focuses on fruit, vegetables and whole grains, as well as low-fat products.

The flexitarian and DASH diets also tied for second place on the overall list.

The Mediterranean diet is not exactly the same across all Mediterranean countries, but these countries do share the same basic eating principles.

This low-fat way of eating — which also includes beans and grains, and not much red meat or butter — has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health problems.

Speaking to CNN, Gretel Schueller from US News said we can all use these ideas to eat a Mediterranean diet wherever we are in the world.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
最近在中国年轻人中间刮起了一阵新热潮，那就是去寺庙烧香，求神拜佛。我们一起来听听看是为什么吧？
游客：“马上要毕业了嘛，然后就是希望自己能够顺顺利利的，未来都是一路平坦的。嗯，就是这么一个比较平凡的愿望。”
记者：“上班和上学之间你会选择哪个？我身边的这些年轻人，他们选择的是来上香。今天是周二工作日，北京还下着雨，并且降温了10度。我的右边很多人在排队点香，我的左边很多人正在上香。寺庙游现在是中国平台搜索最火爆的。不但是北京的雍和宫、灵隐寺、九华山，吸引了好多好多的年轻人。很多人真是来寺庙上香比上学还认真。他们为什么沉迷于寺庙呢？那我们就来听听年轻人的答案。”
游客：“就是大家可能最近压力都比较大，然后就是有一些东西，可能觉得自己虽然已经很努力了，但是也希望借助一些神佛的力量。对，就是所以（来寺庙的年轻人）还蛮多的。像平时可能会心里面比较焦躁一些，那来到这块可能还是会感觉比较平静。因为这块所有人都是抱着一个比较虔诚的心来的嘛，所以能感觉到这里的人都是非常虔诚的。
