We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body.
我们很幸运能从一些著名运动员那里得到关于如何提升技能和增强体质的好建议。
Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here.

Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia.
艾玛是来自不列颠哥伦比亚大学（UBC）的健康专家兼讲师。
Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver.

Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support.

Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online.
而且，人们不愿意改变他们对食物和营养的看法，因为网上的信息太混乱了。
It’s really important to hear what experts say and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here.
听听专家怎么说真的很重要，所以我们把艾玛请来了。
She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices.
她不会告诉我们所有该吃的东西，但她会教我们做出更好的选择。
Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.
