阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to fid out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert．With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists for advice．
Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis．About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second．“Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s． There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,”the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said．“We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem．”
Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp．The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth． Results come back in three days． People can also log on a website to get further information．
Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka． Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month．Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them．“Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions,” Kimura said．“Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results．”
As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern． The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity． With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help．
You maybe surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass, dirt and water．
Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature，and now scientists are starting to catch up．According to research in recent years，just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients' recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers．Also，exposure(曝露) to wildlife，horseback riding，hiking，camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children．
Much of this type of research is focusing on children，and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature．
Obesity（肥胖）．Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years，and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time．Increasing the time students spend learning about nature，both in and outside the classroom，would help solve this problem．Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside．
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（ADHD）（注意力缺失症）．Exposure to ordinary natural settings in the course of common afterschool and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children．Participation in green activities—such as nature walks—helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds to stay focused and complete tasks．
Stress．Access to nature，even houseplants，can help children cope with stress．
Depression and seasonal emotional disorder．Major depression requires medical treatment，but physical activity，especially outdoors，can help ease symptoms．For your average case of winter blues，experts suggest spending time outside every day and，if possible，taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in midwinter．
Experts emphasize that you needn't go to wilderness preserves to enjoy nature's benefits—simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference．
