2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解16 A Q：I have been on a diet recently.However，from time to time I get light-headed and shaky，and desperately need food.This often happens midmorning even if I have eaten a big breakfast.Any suggestions？—Marion. A：Feeling sick or light-headed when you don’t eat can indicate a condition called hypoglycaemia，which is a low blood sugar level.While most cells in the body can use a variety of nutrients(营养)for fuel，your brain needs glucose(葡萄糖)． Hormones in the body keep your blood sugar from rising too high or dropping too low but it can vary slightly after meals，exercise，or periods of dieting.Low blood sugar level can occur in some people if they wait too long to eat.Because your brain cells need glucose，the lack of ingested calories accompanied by a falling glucose level causes a chain of events leading to the symptoms associated with hypoglycaemia—lightheadedness，weakness，nervousness，sweating，intense hunger，headache. Some people will never know that their blood sugar level has dropped because，once detected，their bodies make the necessary adjustments.It isn’t clear why others experience symptoms，although some researchers suggest certain people may be more sensitive to the body’s release of some hormones. In cases of mild hypoglycaemia，the symptoms should stop as soon as you eat or drink.The best choice is something that is easily digested and high in simple sugars or carbohydrates such as a glass of fruit juice or a biscuit.In terms of prevention，try to eat snacks every three hours.A diet rich in fruit and vegetables，whole grain foods is recommended.Usually foods that are high in fibre are a good choice as they are absorbed slowly and help maintain a constant blood glucose level.But if you’re experiencing symptoms midmorning，a lighter breakfast and midmorning snack (a banana or whole-grain crackers and cheese)might be better. There are other causes of hypoglycaemic symptoms，besides low blood sugar.These include poor circulation，dehydration(脱水)，stres
