很多减肥的人不吃碳水化合物，这是误区。Carbs give you energy and provide many of the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients necessary for good health.
good carbs are unprocessed carbohydrates in their ’natural’ state－－绿色蔬菜和多数水果，全卖食品和粗粮。关于后者还有争议！
Try to eat a serving of leafy green vegetables at least twice a day. Also, eat a variety of other colorful vegetables as often as possible.
Use nuts and seeds as healthy, portable snacks you can carry anywhere. Also, they can be used to add flavor and ’texture’ to many different foods (especially salads).
多吃豆子和豆芽：Eat a serving of beans or legumes at least 1-2 times per day. The dozens of different types of beans and peas can be used in hundreds of healthy recipes. Also, consider buying or making bean sprouts - they are considered to be some of the most nutritionally ’powerful’ foods available!
多吃不洒农药的有机食品！

畅销书，change your brain, change your life, by Amen
人们都知道要保护心脏，但很少有人会想起好好保护大脑。据说，大部分人的大脑都亚健康。抽烟，喝酒，吸毒，过多喝咖啡，节食，睡眠不足等等，都会损害大脑。大脑细胞脱落的时候人开始衰老。以下办法可以加强大脑健康，延缓衰老：平衡的饮食（每天一颗维生素，每天一粒鱼肝油），多吃墨西哥油果，核桃，蓝梅，桔子，绿色蔬菜，菠菜，绿茶，黑巧克力，好的carbs. 坚持锻炼和社交。少抱怨，多一些积极向上的思维，每天寻找生活中值得感谢的5件事。
哪些是好的碳水化合物呢？粗粮，oatmeal （燕麦）, 不导致血糖升高的都是。
大部分活过85岁的人都会得健旺症，坚持lifelong learning, 活到老学到老。不学习的大脑会慢慢缩小。我们必须不停地学新东西，才能促进大脑的健康。
To quell anxiety and panic: Use simple breathing techniques to immediately calm inner turmoil. To fight depression: Learn how to kill ANTs (automatic negative thoughts). To curb anger: Follow the Amen anti-anger diet and learn the nutrients that calm rage. To conquer impulsiveness and learn to focus: Develop total focus with the ’One-Page Miracle.’ To stop obsessive worrying: Follow the ’get unstuck’ writing exercise and learn other problem-solving exercises.

来自一位佛教大师，谢谢学老师推荐！我在美国是吃素的，但回到国内就抵挡不住诱惑。听说吃素对地球资源也是一种大大的保护；完全吃素没那么容易，但我们能够争取少吃肉，对地球健康和精神都有益。
生命是宝贵的，人人都希望自己生命的花朵开得绚丽多彩，生活能够幸福安乐，一旦自己的生命受到威胁，就会不惜一切代价进行保护。人类如此，动物等一切生命无不如此。无论从佛学还是从科学的角度而言，生命都是平等的，国王或乞丐，乃至蝼蚁，他们的生命同样珍贵。食肉的人们应当思维，自己所食的肉来源于何处？
在这个世界上，生命是最可贵的。当我们濒临死亡而被人救度，那将比得到全世界的财富还快乐；反之，如果我们被夺取生命，那痛苦比倾家荡产还要大许多倍。我们人类是这样，其他生命，大至狮子老虎，小至昆虫蚂蚁，都一样是贪生怕死。它们虽然不会说话，但对痛苦的感觉则和人没有两样。作为万物之灵的人类，我们是不是应该将心比心，推己及物，和动物们友好相处，让世界充满和平与幸福呢？
人的痛苦莫过于被判死刑，死囚虽然精神上的折磨比较严重，但肉体上的痛苦相对来说比较轻微，持续世间较短暂。藏地牧区的牛羊被运往成都、兰州等很远的地方，一路上要经历数次死亡般的痛苦。
如果不从事杀生的行业，我们还是有办法生活下去的。素食，同样能够活得健康快乐。倘若我们积极地戒杀放生，这个地球将会成为美丽的花园。

心理学家说定时清理东西是一种最好的心理解脱。某些人送的东西，让麦子拿去网上卖了! 心已经走了，东西就不必保留了。只有比比送的除外，他就象一个得了禅道的人, 带着温暖的幽默和关怀。他认为自己有这样的性情是因为小时候在一个嬉皮士聚集的山里长大。满街都是大麻味儿，人自然就和缓了。圣诞要到了，我等着他寄来耳环，总是西班牙风情的给我跳舞用的。比比的最大好处就是诚实，从来不欺瞒不隐藏。一切问题都是摆在桌面上说的，那种深层次的热烈的交流，让人怀念。
读西藏的禅书，开始练习禅坐。在所有的宗教里，只有佛教信的是非神的人，并直面人心的无常人生的莫测变幻。不要太执着，把一切看作一场梦，自己是个梦的旁观者。
还有呢，就是停止为别人忙碌，集中精力做自己想做的，比如写完小说，多上舞蹈课，翻译西藏来的经，计划着怎么去新西兰。一个人凭着自己的力量旅行，才最快乐。
跟麦子讨论人生，她坚定地认为有些人完全没有必要结婚。尤其是我们家的人，生就的吉普赛，很难循规蹈矩地生活。何必要作茧自缚！一个人如果心在世界的话，小小家庭就可有可无了，只要有个地方牺栖，有个地方避寒，就可以了。如果恋爱，记住欲望都市里的那句话，只爱爱你的人。爱你的人，不管如何忙碌，会用各种办法跟你交流的。女人呢，也是一样的，遇到了就真心去爱，不爱的话就快快走开。
新的一年和一岁里，更加年轻更加青春，培养心性，更好地认识自己提升自己超越自己，去更多的国家，拍更好的照片，写更多的小说，认识更多的人，为别人和世界多做一点儿事情。

大家都说浑身不自在，在长胖，在生病，在高速运转。试试下面这些吧：
打坐：闭眼，深呼吸，清楚一切杂念，重复一个字。。对减压非常有效。
运动：不必说了。在客厅里运动，做操，愈加，跳舞，等等。
吃当地的新鲜蔬菜，多喝酸奶。多吃冬补食品：枣，核桃，木耳，银耳，番茄，芝麻，枸杞，人参。
不要乱补维生素，不要盲目跳楼 （一个电视台的公告！）

最后的总结实在精辟啊---世间没有这么完美的男人。即使有，我们也配不上——因为我们自身不够完美。因此，嫁给谁都后悔，我们只能守着一份凡俗的婚姻，谁都不能幸免——因为我们都是有缺点的人。这很无奈，但这就是生活。
1) 有钱的男人
　　食有鱼，出有车，豪华别墅，锦衣丽服，珠围翠绕，暗香弥漫，这种日子应该很不错的吧？可是，男人挣钱需要时间和精力，有钱的男人不是锱铢必较的商人，就是忙于应酬的权贵。商人的脑子里充满利益，每天算计投入和产出，缺乏温馨。许多年前的那个江州司马早已看透了这种男人的本质——重利轻别离。
　　权贵男人的脑子里充满关系，每天衡量着该和谁近，该和谁远，缺乏柔情。
　　有钱的男人往往没时间，会将女人冷落一边。嫁给这种男人的女人，等于嫁给电视机，嫁给美容院，要忍受长久的精神上的空虚，空有一份表面上的华丽，内心的苦涩有谁知道？
2) 朴实拙讷的男人
　　你尽管可以放心，他对你忠心耿耿，毫无二心，对身边擦肩而过的美女绝对可以目不斜视。可是，这种男人往往迟钝得可怕，你换了一双新款的鞋子一周了，他都没有发现；你问他涂粉色指甲油好还是浅紫色指甲油好，他通常会一脸茫然。嫁给这种缺乏情趣的男人，你会觉得自己的女性之美形同虚设。
你也许会说，嫁给既有钱又有闲，既有情趣又有忠贞不渝的男人，肯定不会后悔。是这样的，但是，世间没有这么完美的男人。即使有，我们也配不上——因为我们自身不够完美。因此，嫁给谁都后悔，我们只能守着一份凡俗的婚姻，谁都不能幸免——因为我们都是有缺点的人。这很无奈，但这就是生活。也许谁都不嫁不后悔。但前提是你受得了形影相吊。

1）适当的勤俭和吃苦: 我们之所以把挤公共汽车排在第一位，是因为它集中体现了中国传统女性的最大特点：勤俭节约和吃苦耐劳。当然，勤俭也是有一定限度的，绝对不是为了斥资购买小轿车，而强迫自己喝5分钱一碗的汤。适当的勤俭和吃苦会让自己过得快乐而单纯。
2）努力工作： 工作最基本的需求是赚取生活费用，养活自己，补充家用。但是，现在更多的单身女人努力工作是为了释放自己最大的价值，在不断的进取和成绩中获得肯定和自我完善。她们与那些放弃工作、走入家庭的女性成鲜明对比，更显独立自主、特立独行，为社会创造价值，是城市街头匆匆奔走的亮丽风景线。
3）不同居： 同居的女人以为同居能牢固爱情、换来婚姻，真是大错特错。不同居的女子有自己的工作，有自己的追求，有温馨的朋友圈……试想，一个没有婚姻保障的女人，整日做着柴米油盐的杂活儿，能有多美丽？
4）不泡网：上网是本世纪和人们的生活息息相关的一桩事情，有的网络公司还打出“姐妹们，上网去”的口号来专门吸引女性浏览自己的网页。据调查，75%的人上网除了查询资料之外主要用来聊天，于是导致泡网的败笔：金钱损失，荣华流逝，错过身边的风景，走入幻觉，与生活脱节。
5）不刻薄自己： 一些离了婚的女人，往往会抱怨“我从前太傻了，赚钱不舍得吃不舍得穿，舍得花几百块钱给他买衣服，自己从来没穿过上一百的衣服：精打细算，为家庭计划未来，却没给自己留下后路……”而单身女人没有义务为家庭为爱人尽责任，应该该吃的吃、该穿的穿。要知道，这个世界上没有人比你更爱自己。你若不对自己好，谁又会对你好呢？

有一些，说得有理！
给男人一些空间
下辈子做上海女人
嫁给N种男人的N种结果
文静女孩儿不适合当老婆的五大原因
海归们找不着结婚对象的六大原因
打死都不能嫁的这三十种男人

1. Eat fruits and vegetables
Especially orange ones. Women trimmed their waists by replacing refined grains like white bread and simple or added sugar with carbs from fruits and vegetables, according to the latest review from Copenhagen University Hospital.
2. Get more selenium
This cancer-fighting mineral is also linked to lower rates of abdominal obesity. To meet your requirement, try a supplement or eat a varied diet. Also, opt for foods grown in different areas: such as grains from the Midwest, Vermont cheeses, and nuts from California.
3. Add some protein
Eating more protein keeps you full and boosts energy, which leads to overall weight loss and for those over 40 reduced ab fat in particular, according to findings from Skidmore College and Copenhagen University Hospital.
But studies show that eating high amounts of protein may stress the kidneys as they work to eliminate the excess, which can also cause calcium loss. Aim to get 25% of your calories from protein (if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that’s 500 from protein). Just make lean choices such as low-fat yogurt, fat-free milk, fish, and poultry. Nuts are another great source but can be high in calories: Have just five 1-ounce servings a week (an ounce is about 24 almonds, 18 cashews, or 35 peanuts).
4. Drink a glass of wine a day
Some studies even suggest that light to moderate drinking protects against female midsection weight gain, 5. Eat the right fats
Research from Spain shows it’s easier to stay slim eating monounsaturated fats (such as olive oil) and omega-3s (found mostly in fish but also in flaxseed and walnut oils and tofu), while omega-6 fats (prevalent in cereals, corn oil, baked goods, and eggs) caused ab fat to pile on.

研究证明, 人的体重和健康是跟甲状腺的活动密切相关的. 所以要定期检查甲状腺素的高低.
o An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight gain, tiredness, dry skin, constipation, a feeling of being too cold, or frequent menstrual periods.
o An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, nervousness, diarrhea, a feeling of being too hot, or irregular menstrual periods.

甲状腺素和T3的主要作用是增强机体产热代谢，促进小肠对糖的吸收，参与脂肪代谢的调节。此外，还可以促进组织器官，特别是脑, 骨的发育成熟。所以，在幼年期，甲状腺功能低下可引起呆小症。
甲状旁腺素是一种多肽类激素，其主要作用是增强破骨细胞的破骨功能，治解骨组织，使骨内钙盐溶解，形成可溶性钙释放入血。另外，甲状旁腺素还能促进小肠和肾小管对钙的吸收，使血钙增高，在甲状旁腺素和降钙素协同作用下，维持体内血钙的稳定。
甲状腺功能亢进症简称“甲亢”，是由于甲状腺功能增高，分泌过多的甲状腺素，引起氧化过程加快，代谢率增高的一组常见内分泌疾病。临床上以弥漫性甲状腺肿大伴甲状腺功能亢进和结节性甲状腺肿大伴甲状腺功能亢进为多见。其主要表现为神经兴奋性增高，呈高代谢状态。甲状腺弥漫性肿大主要症状，怕热、多汗、低热、疲乏无力、体重减轻，常伴有眼球突出。
甲状腺机能减退症，简称甲减，是由于甲状腺激素缺乏或不足，机体代谢活动下降所引起的临床综合征，产生原因与炎症、肿瘤、放疗或切除（大部或全部）、药物及碘代谢紊乱等因素有关。本病起病比较缓慢，有的病人长达10年后始有典型症状，而且症状不一。患者临床表现严重程度与甲状腺激素缺乏程度成正比，凡有畏寒、纳差、乏力、少言懒语、皮肤粗糙及体重未见下降（甚至上升）等症状者应考虑该病可能。

美国人也开始信风水了, 的确, 一天中有很多时候是在家里度过的. 一个装饰优雅的家会让人心爽.
"Your home can be a powerful influence on your emotions. Places have power - not only the physical power of sheer presence, but the emotional clout to alter our moods. Of course, the converse is also true: We have power over places. If we don’t take advantage of that fact, we’re squandering a major opportunity to bring positive energy into our lives. By tapping your instincts and noting your reactions, you can begin to create a home that will make you happier - right now.

Transforming one area of your home from an emotional downer to a source of uplift has a double benefit: It cheers you up and reminds you of your capacity to create places that shelter you emotionally as well as physically. It also gets you ready to work the same magic on the next most unsettling area. By recognizing and embracing your power to change one small space at a time, you can use your gut, heart, and brain to make sure your home takes you further toward happiness and satisfaction."

1. Food Sources of Beta Carotene:
Eat plenty of dark green vegetables and orange vegetables and fruits (papaya, mango) weekly to meet your vitamin A needs and reap beta carotene’s potential antioxidant benefits.
2. Food sources of B12: B12 is bound to protein, so foods like meat, fish, eggs and dairy products like yogurt and milk are the principal sources.
3. Food sources of chromium: Best sources of chromium are whole-grain breads and cereals, meat, nuts, prunes, raisins, beer and wine.
4. Food Sources of Vitamin K: Kale, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, arugula, green leaf lettuce, soybean oil, canola oil, olive oil and tomatoes.
5. Food sources of magnesium: The mineral is abundant in avocados, nuts and leafy greens including acorn squash, kiwi and almonds.
6. Food sources of folate: Rich sources of folate include liver, dried beans and peas, spinach and leafy greens, asparagus and fortified cereals.

“我们自身先梳理好生命脉络，可以培养不同的生活情趣，建立起非凡的魅力人格。我有位女性朋友精彩绝伦，不但诗词歌赋、历史典故朗朗上口，而且厨艺、酒品都过人，工作起来更显大将之风、万夫莫敌之势，她和异性往来有句名言：比朋友多一点，比情人少一点！因此，无论在婚姻中或离婚（没有硝烟，不遗憾恨，只是情缘已尽）后，她都保持极高的优游状态，越是如此，男人对她越是倾心不已！”
“像这样的人，未必人人可及，但至少让我们看到，当一个人可以把自己梳理得自在、自信时，和另一个体进入共同生活后，不管进退应都能心平气和、不伤感情和脏腑，人若自诩为万物之灵，惹引出情绪还能平复、自得，该是最起码的吧！”
结论是，一个人只要自己完全OK，而不是期望别人带给我们幸福，或巴望对方一定要负责任，那么对方的变与不变，对我们又有什么大不了的影响呢？
她说得对极了，不要期待别人能带给我们幸福，这个高度压力的时代里，能让自己幸福的男人都很少见了。至于嫁给富翁大亨改变生活之类的，很多是表象。这些人大多没时间，而且用情不专，到头来一败涂地。快乐幸福成功的生活是要自己创造的！

很有意思的博客，只是她的语言读上去怪怪的，很难懂。哪个时代的才女？
“阳刚之美”男人在哪里？：“阳刚之美”纯从体貌上来说，身形挺拔、精神烁烁，跟个头大小无关，和大嗓门说粗口不相干，我们身边能有几个这样的男人？就做人处事来讲，说一不二，言出必行，不夸口，不张扬，敢作敢当，别说男人，女人不也当如此？至于尊重、礼让女性，照顾妇孺有担待，究竟多少男人可以做到位？富于冒险精神，总往山林大海感受天地之气，或带家人到野外亲近大自然的男人普遍吗？
我作为一个生理女性，自然喜欢阳刚之美的男人，但若从文化女性视角看，更期盼男性在刚柔并济中懂得先自我完善，则身形自然昂扬优雅，言行必然诚信负责，待人定是温文有礼，至此，“阳刚之美”就尽可以随人解读了。

油性皮肤的洗脸密码
特征：皮脂分泌旺盛？是的，这就是油性肌肤特点.虽然这样一来肌肤弹性好，不容易老化，可却容易长痘痘。若是为了洗掉脸上的油污而用力揉搓，反而会更加刺激皮肤，使痘痘、面疱的情况恶化.
洗面方法：用洁净力强的洗面乳，一方面要清除油脂，一方面能调整肌肤酸碱值。
洗脸时，将洗面乳放在掌心上搓揉起泡，特别要仔细清洁Ｔ字部位，尤其是鼻翼两侧等皮脂分泌较旺盛的部位。长痘的地方，则用泡沫轻轻地划圈，然后用清水反复冲洗２０次以上才行。

小ｔｉｐｓ：
容易长痘痘结疤痕的重油性肌肤，用热水除去油脂才是你清洁皮肤的特别秘码。这与洗碗时用热水能轻易洗去油污是一样的道理。但这个方式一般只限于超油性皮肤使用，连续几天持续使用４２～４３℃左右的热水洗脸，可以洗净油污，使肌肤清爽，并能有效地防止青春痘发展，但洗完脸后要尽快进行保湿，滋养肌肤。

推荐方法：
白醋洗脸：油性皮肤洗脸时可在热水中滴几滴白醋，能帮助清洁皮肤上过多的皮脂、脱屑和尘埃，使皮肤光洁美观，并减轻毛孔阻塞，面疱会得到改善。
软水洗脸：最好使用软水洗脸，如果没有软水，可将生水煮沸１小时后澄清或将半杯牛奶一小勺食盐亦可溶在１升水中，即可将硬水软化。
推荐方法：
草药洗脸：如皮肤特别干燥甚至萎缩，可用柑橘、洋苏叶、甘椴树花等制作的草药汤洗脸选用其中一种或用多种等量混合配方均可。先将草药用两杯热水浸泡，再用文火煮５～１０分钟，然后放凉过滤。用这种草药水洗脸，会使皮肤柔软、细腻、富有弹性。

From： flamencolovers.com (我经常访问的一个社群，跟我一样狂爱弗拉门戈的一群人）。
每一个人都有权选择自己喜欢的生活方式，但在面对社会的时候，往往又会受到各种言论、甚至一些目光的干扰和影响。单身女性在面对旁人的关切、质疑、误解，甚至嘲讽时，该如何面对？在这个复杂而又多姿的社会里，又该如何生活得有滋有味？安全自信？
肯定自己的选择。凡事没有十全十美。评估单身的优劣，要尽可能地往好处想，比如自由、独立，可以充分发展自我等，建立正面思考的习惯。
第四，寻找一份贴心深厚的友谊。
第五，养成爱运动的习惯。这样做的目的有三：可以保持良好的身材，永葆青春；不容易生病免得无人照顾；缓解压力，在流汗中放松神经。
另外，单身女性还应保持一份戒心。一些生活细节不妨记住：手机应随身携带，包括上卫生间；录音电话留言可用男性的声音；阳台上可故意加晾一件男衬衫；门口多放一双男式皮鞋；一个人独居时，请把窗帘拉上；碰到邻居，要打招呼；走出家门时，一定要先看看屋角、室内转角处有无异样；坐电梯时，尽量站得距电梯按钮近一点。看到电梯内只有一个陌生人时，可考虑等下一趟；遇到有人上门抄水表、电表等，可把所有电灯及大门打开，或打电话给朋友，或利用说话技巧，让上门的人以为屋里还有其他人……
如今的年代，是强调情感智商的年代，单身女性似乎更应拥有一套自己的EQ系统，在活得自由的同时，还应活得有快乐感，活得有安全感。

from Flamencolovers.com. 射手座不在其中，呵呵。但不代表我的意见，贴出来玩儿玩儿。以星座论人还是笼统，人是很复杂的，生活也是复杂的，不是头顶一颗小星星就一锤定音的。
1.天秤座
因为其实天秤座还满喜欢享受生活，譬如说她有车的话，她不会去在意哪里的停车费比较贵，就是在小地方不会省钱的人，所以久而久之你赚来的钱，一下就会被她败光光了！

2.双子座
双子座的女生喜欢掌握经济大权，如果你也喜欢老婆帮你理财那就没有问题，因为双子座不怕麻烦，喜欢帮另一半管理金钱，不过如果男方不喜欢财政大权若再女生手里，那可能就要三思了！

3.狮子座
其实狮子座的女生如果老公疼她的话，她就会百依百顺会当一只小猫咪，可是如果你不太成材，狮子座为了面子可能会自己先在外人面前开始数落你，表现出相当大女人的一面，所以其实狮子座在跟老公针锋相对的时候，一定要先把你压在底下，但事实上她可能是吃亏的。

4.金牛座金
牛座是一个很孝顺的星座！平时就非常孝顺自己的父母，所以一但嫁到婆家她也会尽义务好好照顾公婆，但是一有空闲她还是会跑回娘家，所以难免还是会让公婆忍不住抱怨起来，认为这媳妇不顾家！

5.处女座
处女座婚前看起来乖乖的，可是婚後水性杨花的个性就慢慢显现出来了，很有可能会忍不住寂寞就「爬墙」！婚後的处女座只有两种状况，不是很卑微就是很霸气，一但她建立了自信之後，情况就会更一发不可收拾！

From WebMD: 美国文化流行“瘦”，越瘦越好，害得很多人得Eating Disorder 或者“自观身体变型症”. 这个贴子给人们一些警示。每个人都有一个自然体重，看重健康饮食和锻炼，让身体自然调节。
Several body image experts interviewed by WebMD offer practical tips for feeling good about your body.
Getting Over the Norm: accept the fact that big doesn’t mean bad.
The most common body image complaint for women, and increasingly for men, is the ’I feel fat’ body-image distortion,"
In fact, if full-figured is your natural body shape, you’re better off sticking to what you were born with than depriving yourself to reach what can be a dangerous goal.
"Everyone has a natural body weight," says Ruth Kava, PhD, RD, director of nutrition at the American Council on Science and Health in New York. "If you have to starve yourself to get where you think you should be, you may be doing damage because you may not be getting appropriate nutrition."
Focus on the inside, and let your body take its natural shape. "You need to focus on eating healthy and exercising while working on what’s inside of you and the way you feel about yourself," says Magee. "In everything that I do, I promote the philosophy that you should eat and exercise for the health of it, and let the pounds fall where they may."

Garlic: a reduction in cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, and heart disease. And garlic packs just five calories per teaspoon.
Yellow Squash: At just 30 calories per cup, most yellow squash is full of key nutrients for midlife women. It’s high in vitamin A, which has been linked to improved immune function and a reduced risk of both skin and lung cancers. It’s also full of lutein, a phytochemical believed to prevent age-related vision loss.

Whole Grains: a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and colorectal cancer.
Black beans: Eat three cups of black beans a week and you’ll reduce your risk of heart disease and colon cancer.
Almonds, and blueberry yogurt.

给上了年纪的或者害怕发福的人们！
吃早饭：Eat a 300- to 400-calorie breakfast: For more long-lasting energy, include whole grain complex carbohydrates like oatmeal. Throw in a cup of halved strawberries: Research suggests that getting enough vitamin C—75 mg a day—may be essential for optimal fat burning. The strawberries provide 90 mg.
晒太阳：Get a dose of sunlight: "Exposure to bright light decreases melatonin and increases serotonin, shifting your body from sleep to awake mode and, in turn, revving your metabolic furnace,"
Take your multivitamin: Antioxidant nutrients help protect mitochondria, tiny structures found in every cell, from damage; they’re the microscopic fat-burning furnaces that convert food into fuel.

喝茶或者咖啡：Sip a cup of coffee or tea: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that moderately boosts metabolism, helping you burn about 20 extra calories. 还有就是练愈加。Yoga can also help control levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which begins to rise after waking and can contribute to muscle loss and a resulting dip in metabolism.
Snack on nuts: monounsaturated fats可以燃烧脂肪。
爬楼梯: Take the stairs: Climbing stairs quickly elevates your heart rate for a metabolic jolt that burns eight calories per minute—twice as much as brisk walking. Try to accumulate five to 10 minutes during the afternoon.
喝热牛奶或者吃酸奶：Drink warm milk: Some studies suggest that amino acids in dairy products help promote fat burning. (Stick to low fat or fat free to keep calories in check.)
睡好觉：7－8小时。

Sit-ups: Not only are sit-ups bad for your neck, but they’re also one of the least-effective abdominal exercises you can do, according to a recent study at San Diego State University.

Safe Alternative: Bicycle Crunches: That same study found the bicycle maneuver works the abs and obliques 250 percent better than traditional crunches or sit-ups. Lie on your back with your feet up in the air, then bend your knees at a 90-degree angle. With your hands behind your ears, pump your legs back and forth while moving your armpits (not your elbows) toward the opposite knees.

http://health.msn.com/dietfitness/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100150894 （The Best Exercise You’re Not Doing)

好皮肤: eat foods rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, E and Omega 3 fats. deep orange fruits and vegetables like sweet potato, carrots, mango and apricots.
VC: red peppers, oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, and broccoli.
V-E: wheat germ, almonds, peanut butter and avocado
Omega 3 Fats: salmon and sardines, omega 3 fortified eggs, flaxseeds and walnuts.
美发: Iron-Rich Protein--red meat, turkey, oysters, lentils and eggs.
B-Vitamins: (B6, B12 and folate).
让腹部脂肪减少的: 避免Excessive SUGAR ALCOHOLS, Very High FIBER Foods
Make PROTEIN the star of each meal
Spread low-volume meals throughout the day (every 4-5 hours)

Beer: More Than a Drink （用啤酒洗头）
beer is the secret ingredient in Belgium, where there are said to be over four hundred varieties. But rather than drinking it, Belgian women use it as a final rinse for thicker, frizz-free hair.

Vinegar Equals Shiny Hair （苹果醋让头发黑亮）
All it takes is 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar (available at almost any grocery store). And of course, you should adjust the amount according to the length of your hair

Greek Sugar Body Scrub （希腊式糖和橄榄油洗浴）
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
• Mix ingredients to form a thick paste. Apply liberally in the shower, and massage in a circular motion.
用蜂蜜：涂在嘴唇上会让唇柔软；罗马尼亚的Castor oil 可以让睫毛张长；and begin and end your day with 15 to 20 splashes of ice-cold spring mineral water after cleansing

Honey Mask for Sensitive Skin (自制蜂蜜面膜）
Warm a small pot of honey in a double boiler over low heat. After testing a small dab on the inside of your elbow to make sure the temperature is safe, apply the honey generously over your entire face. Leave the mask on for fifteen minutes. It may feel a little sticky, but the moisturizing benefits are worth it! Rinse thoroughly with warm then cool water.

From 10 ways to get your body right!

5. Add color to your diet. Fall is a bountiful harvest of brightly colored vegetables and fruits, rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Indulge. (多吃以下几种抗氧化的食品)
Squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, beans, avocados, broccoli, and cauliflower are all great antioxidant-rich vegetables, packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium, says Price. "Antioxidants help the body to combat free radicals in the body," says Price, obtained through everything from pollution in the environment to internal stress.

9. Throw away the scale. Though we put a lot of weight into the scale as the best indicator of our healthy size, Savard says more and more research is finding that is not so. The tape measure is a much better way to define health, she says.

10. Get enough rest. Fall is usually a time where you’re forced to wake up earlier to get kids off to school and get to work on time. You are less likely to get the seven to eight hours of sleep your body needs. (保证充足睡眠)

"Sleep is really the precursor to everything," she says. Without adequate sleep, "you’re in a constant state of high alert or stress mode. That takes its toll on every body part or function from the immune system to the central nervous system."

It’s not only about sex. How a couple sleeps together may reveal a lot about their relationship.
“conduct his own study by interviewing 88 adults: 42 couples and four others who were in relationships where they regularly shared a bed with a partner. (Three of the 42 couples were lesbian and three were unmarried heterosexuals; the rest were married). The participants ranged in age from 21 to 77.”
“It’s not all about sex. For many couples, the bed was the only place where they could finally have an intimate conversation.”
“Oh, yes. People have to learn to sleep together. They have to learn to deal with the many ways they are different and to deal with things that are hard to compromise or change.”
“In a sense two people are always out of synch, because they are different in so many ways.”

学五的牛舍饼－－“热乎乎的馄饨配上牛舌饼，可以忘了一切”。“学五的牛舌饼扁而大，可能真像牛舌，但我只见过牛，不知道牛嘴里的舌头到底有多大。总之，牛舌饼虽大，外皮却很酥，里面的椒盐味道很浓郁。”
（同意！我也很喜欢牛舌饼，美好的滋味儿现在还记得）。
