　　Now, experts have warned eating breakfast, lunch and dinner may be damaging our health。现在，专家们已经警告吃早餐、午餐和晚餐可能会损害到我们的健康。

　　In fact, skipping meals and fasting could actually be better for health than sticking to rigid eating patterns。事实上，少食和禁食可能会比严格按照形式上进餐对我们的身体会好一些。

　　Similarly, a University of Southern California study published last year found fasting for two to four days every six months forces the body into survival mode, using up stores of fat and sugar and breaking down old cells。相类似的一项研究，去年南加州大学的研究发现每六个月禁食两到四天能强制身体有生存模式，耗尽身体储存的脂肪和糖分，分解老细胞。

　　This caused the body's entire immune system to regenerate, providing better protection against infection and disease, experts said。专家说，这样会让身体的整个免疫系统再重生，提供更好的保护来反抗侵染性疾病。
