午睡有美容之用

睡眠專家發出警訊，長期睡眠不足可能使人變「笨」。

研究人員指出，每晚比正常睡眠時間少睡一小時可能令一個人的智商暫時性降低一個商數，一周累計下來可令智商降至一百，瀕臨弱智。

睡眠時間因人而異，但一般而言，每個人平均一天須八小時睡眠。

最新的研究顯示，當人睡眠不足他們會累積所謂的「睡眠債」，就算每天只少睡一個小 時， 連續八天下來，你仍會感到有如整晚熬夜一樣睏倦。

史丹福大學睡眠研究專家﹛積欠龐大睡眠債會削弱人的智力和運動功能，讓人變得反應遲鈍，數學計算容易出錯，健忘，簡而言之，就是會令你變「笨」。

狄曼說，與睡眠爭時可能讓你付出相當代價，他舉例一名女性患者因為實在太睏，竟迷迷糊糊 地把髒盤誤丟進乾衣機，直到聽到碗盤碎裂的聲響時才猛然醒覺。

另外一名患者大排長龍才買到球賽的入場卷，但球賽開始沒多久，他就累在座位上睡著，直到球賽結束才醒過來。

有午睡習慣的人比較不會老, 歐美人士有所謂的下午茶時間以為恢復精神, 多數老外一到下午就猛喝咖啡。推究其因乃沒有午睡習慣而不得不靠咖啡提神，情況有如台灣運將長途行駛吃檳榔一樣。

中午睡一小時等於晚上睡三小時，如果平均一天需八小時睡眠。午睡一小時則夜間只需睡五個小時足矣。西方人不知午睡的妙用，常笑我們是東亞病夫，

無論男女都比同年紀的中國人明顯的蒼老許多，關鍵全在午睡有無。西方人因為老得快，所以化妝品特別發達，舉凡仕女牌化妝品都來自歐美，儘管面部修飾如何高超，像影集朝代中的瓊考琳絲雖已年高六十，化妝後宛若婦，卻無法遮掩特有的火雞頸，一下子就讓人看穿年紀，皮膚出現皺紋及鬢髮變白都是老化的表徵。

據信和人體內疲勞物質有關，睡眠的作用即是除去此疲勞物質，大凡從事重勞動者比同齡的白領階級無不顯得特別蒼老可作為佐證，疲勞物質會造成血液循環障礙，所以只要血液循環順暢就可對付衰老， 老人生病臥床過久，探視者會發現病人一頭烏髮頓時變白，就是因為缺乏運動使血液循環衰退所致，女人一生中睡眠平均比男人多一小時，此多出之一小時即專屬美容之用。

所以，朋友們別再熬夜了趁年輕要好好保養自已的身體！

每天一定要睡足八個小時, 儘量抽時間睡午覺一個小時, 晚上只要睡五個小時便可, 這樣不但可以讓自已健康也善用時間,  何樂而不為?

醫生建議：晚上10:00pm 前最好上床休息，中午盡可能睡半小時到一小時的午覺(午睡1小時抵過晚上睡3小時），年輕人一天至少要睡足八小時！

Skin Whitening

What is skin whitening? In the history of Japan, geishas are known for their painted white skin which represents beauty, grace and high social status. In today’s changing modern society, the perception of fairer skin is evolving, where some say fair skin is white skin while others would argue that fair skin is just that: fair skin.

But how does one get fairer skin then? Do you hide under the shade? Apply skin whitening products? Or do you make your own remedy? In the world today, skin whitening products are available in various forms. Be it creams, soaps, pills and lotions, all of them serve only one purpose, to help our skin become fairer. There are of course simple remedies and courses that can be taken to whiten our skin.

Marco's comment:

It is true that fair skin somehow looks better, provided you looks healthy as well.

麻油防蚊妙法

今天下午帶兒子去買一雙鞋子,老闆看了兒子的腳說:「怎這麼多『紅豆冰』呀!？」

我只好無奈說:「蚊子真的好多哦!市面上賣的防蚊液每家都說很天然,但裡頭還是參了一些化學成份,雖然我有買了一瓶, 但最後還是沒在用。」

老闆就教我一個最天然、最安全、最古老的方法。 他說,他們常常去爬山什麼的,山上蚊子很多,但是只要用一滴麻油滴在手上,兩隻手抹一下,拍打在寶寶手上和腳上,最後手上沒油了,但還有麻油的味道,就輕輕拍一下寶寶的臉上,爬一個山下來,蚊子都躲的遠遠的哦!

我聽了這個方法後很高興的回家試驗看看,把麻油弄在兒子手腳和臉上,就帶去公園試試看。

哇~~天啊!居然發現有 3 隻蚊子一直想咬兒子,但卻只敢在旁邊飛來飛去,兒子身邊突然好像多了一層防護罩耶! 蚊子僵持了 5 分鐘還在飛, 但就是不敢靠近,最後居然跑來咬我這在旁邊試驗的爸爸,因為我沒擦, 真的有效耶!

好高興哦! 現在弄了一個小瓶子, 隨身帶著, 且只要一滴麻油哦! 弄上身體一點都不油, 且有香香的麻油味。

原來最天然、最安全的防蚊方法是隨身可得的,且不用花錢去買哦。

Remedy To Heal Cancer And Other Illnesses By Dr.Tateishi Kazu

When cancer strikes a family, what course of action should one take? Dr.Tateishi Kazu's father and brother both died of cancer. And then he found himself suffering from cancer of the duodenum and spreading. His stomach was removed, but the cancer cells had spread to his lungs. He resolved to fight for his life. He researched, studied and tested over 1,500 types of herbs and plants. Eventually he discovered the right combination of ingredients and formulated a unique healing vegetable soup and brown rice tea with its own molecular powers. The vegetables are rich in green chlorophyll, amino acids, iron, phosphorous, calcium, all in a natural form.

He based his soup on the principles of Five Elements theory, the harmonizing balance of the forces of Yin and Yang, acid and alkaline that engenders health as opposed to the imbalance, which leads to disease.

The five elements in our environment are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Because of the balance of the five elements, the earth is able to produce life. Dr. Tataishi Kazu used the essence of the five elements. Each essence possesses its own color: green, red, yellow, white and black. These relate to the corresponding internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidneys. He used the concept of the five different colors as matched to specific vegetables.

Green/ Daikon Radish Leaves

White/ Daikon Radish

Red/ Carrot

Yellow/ Burdock Root

Black/ Shitake Mushrooms

What This Remedy May:
1. Heal Cancer
2. Restore injured joints and bone structure
3. Slow down the aging process
4. Rejuvenate the skin
5. Heal Cataracts
6. Heal liver disorders
7. Lower high blood pressure
8. Improve heart conditions
9. Reduce brain tumors and other related head-injury problems
10 Reduce high white blood cell counts
11. Improve T-cell function

This is a remedy for all age groups. When the soup is ingested, it produces thirty different elements for fighting disease. Within three days, it can stop the growth of cancer cells. Even for some last-stage cancer patients, it can lead to 100% remission. Patients who have subsisted on feeding tubes for nourishment, when given the soup, after two days regained their strength. Over 10,000 last-stage cancer patients have used this remedy. 99% are alive and were able to return to work.

Vegetable Soup Recipe

Why Babies Need To Use Their Own Toiletries

Babies' skin is thinner and more fragile; that's why it is so important to use products that are especially formulated and proven mild enough for their delicate skin. In adults' toiletries, the surfactant (cleaning effect) is harsher, causing dryness to baby's skin and skin irritation. However, mild surfactant used in baby toiletries cleans without removing natural moisture, maintaining baby's skin hydration and leaves baby's skin soft and smooth after use.

Why Use Facial Mask?

Facial masks helps tighten, tone and clarify the face as it dissolves dead cells and removes pore-clogging debris on the skin surface.

A facial mask should be used 1-2 times a week, preferably in the evening

Just apply a thin layer on the face, let it dry to a flaky crust, and rinse off with warm water.

As follow-up, apply facial toner and moisturizer to rejuvenate your skin.
