雅思口语Part2话题8分素材：一个最近做的好决定

　The good decision I made recently is to quit my unhealthy diet.I am a huge fan of sweet food including all kinds of soft drinks and desserts.In recent years,the prevalence of bubble tea in China has made young generations more addicted to sweet food and high sugar diet.However,I do have a slim body shape thanks to the weight lifting I do every day.Plus,due to my young age,I always believe my metabolism is high enough to burn the calories I intake.

　　The reason why I actually made this decision is that my annual physical examination report showed my visceral fat level was about to reach the warning line.That totally surprised me because related disease such as fatty liver could usually be found only on middle aged people.For health concern,I made a specific plan to quit drinking bubble tea and intake as little sugar as possible.

　　Executing the decision was much harder than I thought.With less sugar in my diet,I often feel a lack of energy and became emotionally unstable.My friend taught me that sugar can promote the secretion of dopamine which is in charge of motivation.My addiction to sugar breaks the balance of the reward system in my brain and I should remedy it gradually.After realising this concept,I adjusted my plan to a slower pace,removing the amount of sugar from my diet bit by bit.After persisting for the past few weeks,I can clearly feel less relied on sugar.I am glad that I have made such a good decision that gives me a healthier life.
