Don’t wait till it’s too late to fight skin ageing process

Women nowadays spent lot of money buying luxury facial and skin cleanser, cream and stuff like that to prevent the skin ageing process. After all, in my opinion, this will help a little, the major factors or elements to slow down the skin ageing process is still very much depending on one’s lifestyle.

Please see below article that I read from TheSun newspaper for your benefits.

Don’t wait till it’s too late to fight skin ageing process

Whether we like it or not, we all show signs of ageing at some point in our lives. The first signs of ageing are most visible on our skin as, being the largest organ in our body, it is often exposed to external elements. There are ways to counter the effects if skin ageing but before that, we need to understand the process that causes our skin to age and the reason why thus happens. The earlier you start giving your skin the protection it needs, the higher your chance of maintaining a youthful and radiant look in your later years.

How can you avoid skin ageing?
The unfortunate truth is that we cannot avoid our skin from ageing. But we can try to slow down the ageing process by:
- Avoiding exposure to direct sunlight and UV radiation;
- Not smoking;
- Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated;
- Avoiding the consumption of processed food;
- Exercising regularly;
- Getting enough sleep;
- Getting more rest and relaxation; and
- Supplementing your diet with a well-balanced combination of antioxidants.

Remember that your skin is a reflection of your underlying health, so all these play a role in strengthening your body’s defence system against harmful free radicals, which, ultimately, creates better looking skin.

Fight ageing with antioxidants
The good news is, you can counter the effects of skin ageing by eating foods like whole grains, tomatoes, grapes, citrus fruits, vegetables and fish oil, all of which are rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin C and E, lycopene, proanthocyanidins and selenium. These antioxidants help to reduce wrinkle formation and epidermal thickness on your skin by improving its elasticity and keeping it well hydrated. They also provide protection against UV radiation and free radicals.

It is true that ageing skin is an unpreventable fact of life, but skin that is well-protected and well-nourished will look healthy, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance. After all, growing old gracefully is all the matters.

Likely Problems After A Wound Has Healed

Most wounds heal without any problems. However, a few unfortunate conditions may develop:

1. A piece or material gets embedded in the tissue under the healed wound. The area usually remains rather tender (it usually happens with glass fragments).

2. The scar ends up discoloured, particularly after a bad gravel rash.

3. A small piece of skin has been pushed into the wound, where it grows and eventually forms a ‘dermoid cyst’ that is harmless but needs removal.

4. Scars over the areas that are stretched often, such as knee, elbow and over the knuckles, often grow to be quite thick for a brief period, but usually become flat and colourless after a few months.

手機發明者之一, 施敏的良心告白

美國國家工程研究院最近公佈新院士名單，共有三位華裔學者入選，本刊上期僅提及吳京院士及陳惠發教授，尚有一位獲此殊榮者為本院新科院士、著名之電子工程專家施敏。施院士為台大電機工程學士、美國史丹佛大學博士，現任交通大學教授。他對現代微電子科技（Microelectronics）的發展有重大貢獻，是半導體元件物理及製程技術的權威。他在經濟部電子工業小組委員任內，協助成立工研院電子所，對開拓我國電子工業有前瞻性的建樹。

施敏，是非常厲害的人物，之前在貝爾實驗室研究，幾年前才回到國內，是大哥大四個發明人之一，寫過一本半導體元件物理，發行量大概已有一兩百萬本，被論文引用的次數約兩萬多次(據說是世界第一)，這樣說只是想傳達一位學術界上很有地位的學者的看法而已。

施敏先生在一場Evolution of Nonvolatile Semiconductor Memory的Seminar時再三的強調關於手機的危險性，他引用美國目前研究的數據：人類如處在2mG(毫高斯)，就會有不好的影響，並當場示範，只使用可在10~200Hz(赫茲)範圍內的儀器量的結果是：手機超過了儀器的上限1000mG，而手機所用的微波範圍在2000,20000Hz 或更高。

他在國家實驗室所量的結果可以到達1~2萬mG(毫高斯)，這是通話中所量測的，更別提是在接通中了。

他舉一個在日本的朋友為例，他每天跟女友用手機聊天超過8小時，結果辦了第三天就掛了。

施敏教授又做了一個例子，就是用耳機來講手機，在耳機旁所測的電磁波約是10mG（因為電磁波是成指數的衰減），所以他做了強力的建議：

就是千萬不要用手機來談情說愛，有急事才適用。最好不要超過一分鐘，而且最重要的是：一定要用耳機，不用簡直是一種慢性的自殺！

手機發明者之一的良心告白:

1.使用手機五年可能會致癌

2.手機掛在左腰比在右腰好

3.最好不要掛在身上 ,最好放在背包

4.手機越迷你, 輻射越強.

5.最好用耳機聽

小心使用手機，請好好閱讀，這是忠告。

因為手機在接收訊號和發射訊號時，是利用高頻率的波來傳遞的，所以你可以把他想像成就是光，只是頻率不一樣而已。而人體由原子所構成，每個原子都有能階，如果剛好能接收這樣的入射波的話就會吸收能量，這和微波爐的原理是一樣的所以還是得小心一點。

剛剛我在電視上TVBS新聞中，有一則關於手机的新聞，被訪問者是一個研究員，他說他有一個朋友在大陸經商，用了五年的手機，最近竟然在耳朵到臉頰的部分出現了癌細胞，分佈的形狀就是一個手機的形狀，動手術還? 潀! 蛂u挖掉」，你還敢用? 那位研究員還說，用一分鐘的手机，靠近耳朵的腦細胞溫度會上升1.5度細胞雖然不會死，但是細胞中的基因卻會壞死。除了這些之外，手機用多還會有失憶、提早老年痴呆的症狀，所以，除非必要，還是少用手機，多用公用電話吧!

有手機的人越來越多，參考一下吧! 轉載自民生報醫藥保健版 。

方基存曾和幾位醫師為行動電話該掛在左腰、右腰有過深入討論，最後一致結論是：左腰是較佳的選擇。因為，左側的器官較少，即使腎臟也位於後腹腔，被耐受性較強的腸子遮蔽，影響有限；反觀右腰除腎臟外，還有對電磁波耐受性不強的肝臟，危險性較大。

以下的結果是我與朋友從廠商得到的相關訊息，及實驗的結果:手機收訊越強代表來源電磁載波越強，尤其是強調在電梯，地下室，隧道都可收到訊號的手機及門號公司，這些門號公或手機廠商為了滿足收訊無死角會相互配合如加強手機上晶片的功能與基地臺的加建， 但是這只是讓通訊電磁波可以涵蓋更廣的範圍與可收到訊息，但真正要達到收訊清楚，就要加強電磁載波與幅射訊號。

手機越小越需要更強的電磁波訊號，才能訊號完全，所以當妳聽到有人手機很迷你，功能很強，收訊很好時，不要羨慕，當妳聽到有人可以在電梯地下道，隧道收到手機訊號，不要羨慕，這所透露出一個訊息是：他的手機電磁波訊號是妳的好幾倍！想想看，電磁波要透電梯殼，地下道等鋼筋水泥障礙物再到妳的手機上，需要多強的訊號，這等於是在微波爐前沒有將門板關上，直接啟動微波爐一樣。

Airbrush Painting In Residential Area

This picture shows a renovation worker performing airbrush painting at the car porch. The fumes were spreading via winds and flew into the houses nearby through the windows.

As we know that solvents are toxic to a greater or lesser degree and are also inflammable, this irresponsible guy was sort of putting all of the residents in that area in risk. Not mentioning there were elders and babies in the house that might be badly affected by the toxic fumes of airbrush painting.

Airbrush painting shall be allowed to perform in industrial area or under controlled environment.

Together we create a healthy community by being more responsible and giving more concern and cares to the people and environment.
