Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to makeirrationaldecisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?

According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同齡人) view them—that is “peer influence”.

As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.

In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.

Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?

As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油門) but a weak brake (剎車). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”

So if you're ready to protect your body and reduce your salt intake, here are a few simple things you can do. First, ditch fast food completely from your dict. Often, one fast food meal will contain all the salt you need for a whole day! Eat less salt by going for more home-made meals instead of visiting McDonalds.

And when you're cooking at home try using other seasonings（調(diào)味料）instead of salt. Garlic, onion and pepper are just some of the things that can easily replace it. You'll be delightfully surprised at the results.

Finally keep away from processed meats. Sausage, ham, and hot dogs are usually packed with salt----much more than your body needs. Choose healthier, fresh meats instead.

It's not easy to cut salt from your diet. Not only are we made to enjoy the taste of salt, but salt is added in huge quantities to almost all our foods. But, if you take simple, one-at-a-time steps to reduce the amount of salt you put in your body, you can protect your health in the years to come.
