卵磷脂的八大保健功能（下）

六、可預防老年癡呆的發生
　人隨著年齡增長，記憶力會減退，其原因與乙醯膽鹼含量不足有一定關係。乙醯膽鹼是神經系統資訊傳遞時必需的化合物，人腦能直接從血液中攝取磷脂及膽鹼，並很快轉化為乙醯膽鹼。長期補充卵磷脂可以減緩記憶力衰退的進程，預防或推遲老年癡呆的發生。

七、能有效地化解膽結石 　　

　　體內過多的膽固醇會發生沉澱，從而形成膽結石，膽結石90％是由膽固醇組成。膽汁中的主要成分是卵磷脂，此外還有水份、膽固醇、礦物質及色素等，卵磷脂可以將多餘的膽固醇分解、消化及吸收，從而使膽汁中的膽固醇保持液體狀。如果每天攝取一定量的卵磷脂可以有效地防止膽結石的形成，並對已形成的膽結石也能起到化解的作用。 　

八、良好的心理調和劑 　　

　　社會競爭日趨激烈，人們長期處在緊張的環境和種種壓力下，常患有焦慮、急躁、易怒、失眠、耳鳴等症，即植物神經紊亂，通常稱為神經衰弱。經常補充卵磷脂，可使大腦神經及時得到營養補充，保持健康的工作狀態，利於消除疲勞，激化腦細胞，改善因神經緊張而引起的急躁、易怒、失眠等症。 

卵磷脂是人體不可缺少的一種營養素，有著強大的乳化作用，卵磷脂中的不飽和脂肪酸的乳化作用能將體內多餘脂肪溶解成極小的顆粒,代謝排除體外, 從而達到減肥的目的，同時促進性腺功能，如乳房增大，胸肌發達。因此使用卵磷脂減肥美體是一個非常不錯的選擇。

　

適宜人群

1、 美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）規定：在嬰幼兒奶粉裡，必須添加磷脂。

2、 學生、知識份子及中老年人：卵磷脂能增強大腦活力，消除大腦疲勞，增強記憶力，提高學習工作效率。而且能修復受損傷的腦細胞，預防老年性癡呆症的發生。

3、長期飲酒、營養過剩及脂肪肝患者：每日服用10-15克卵磷脂，3-5個月後，血脂指標可恢復到正常水準。

4、糖尿病患者：每天食用20克以上的大豆卵磷脂，糖尿病人的恢復速度是相當明顯的，很多病人可不必再注射胰島素。對糖尿壞疽及動脈硬化等併發症患者，更為有效。

5、膽結石患者：每天堅持服用大豆卵磷脂，不僅能防止膽結石形成，而且還可以不同程度地分解、消除已形成的膽結石。

6、愛美的女士：卵磷脂是一種天然解毒劑，能分解體內的毒素。通過增加血紅素，為皮膚提供充分的水和氧氣等營養，使皮膚變得光滑柔潤

7、便秘人群：卵磷脂可以促進腸胃血液迴圈及腸胃蠕動，有助於預防及改善便秘。

卵磷脂的八大保健功能（上）

卵磷脂被譽為與蛋白質、維生素並列的“第三營養素”。然而，真正瞭解卵磷脂的人卻很少，卵磷脂在我國也只是少數人享用的“貴族食品”。而在發達國家，卵磷脂已成為很普及的營養食品了。據說，美國人現在連煮飯也用上了卵磷脂，煮出的米飯顆粒飽滿、晶瑩剔透，香味溢人。那麼，卵磷脂都有哪些保健功能呢？ 　　
　　

一、肝臟的保護神

　　磷脂中的膽鹼對脂肪有親和力，若體內膽鹼不足，則會影響脂肪代謝，造成脂肪在肝內積聚，形成脂肪肝甚至會發炎腫脹。卵磷脂不但可預防脂肪肝，還能促進肝細胞再生，同時，磷脂可降低血清膽固醇含量，防止肝硬化並有助於肝功能的恢復。 　

　 　　
二、糖尿病患者的營養品 　　
　　  卵磷脂不足會使胰臟機能下降，無法分泌充分的胰島素，不能有效地將血液中的葡萄糖運送到細胞中，這是導致糖尿病的基本原因之一。如每天食用20克以上的卵磷脂，則糖尿病的恢復是相當顯著的。很多病人甚至可不必再注射胰島素。特別是對糖尿病壞疽及動脈硬化等併發症患者更為有效。
　
三、血管的“清道夫” 　　

　　卵磷脂具有乳化、分解油脂的作用，可增進血液迴圈，改善血清脂質，清除過氧化物，使血液中膽固醇及中性脂肪含量降低，減少脂肪在血管內壁的滯留時間，促進粥樣硬化斑的消散，防止由膽固醇引起的血管內膜損傷。服用卵磷脂對高血脂和高膽固醇具有顯著的功效，因而可預防和治療動脈硬化。

 四、胎、嬰兒神經發育的必需品 　 　
      正常情況下，孕婦體內的羊水中含有大量的卵磷脂。人體腦細胞約有150億個，其中70％早在母體中就已經形成。為了促進胎兒腦細胞能健康發育，孕婦補充足夠的卵磷脂是很重要的。嬰幼兒時期是大腦形成發育最關鍵時期，卵磷脂可以促進大腦神經系統與腦容積的增長、發育。因此美國食品與藥物管理局（FDA）規定在嬰兒奶粉中必須添加卵磷脂。

 　　 　　
五、可消除青春痘、雀斑並滋潤皮膚 　　
　   在正常人體內含有許多毒素，特別是在腸道內，當這些毒素含量過高時，便會隨著血液迴圈沉積在皮膚上，從而形成色斑或青春痘。卵磷脂正好是一種天然的解毒劑，它能分解體內過多的毒素，並經肝臟和腎臟的處理排出體外，當體內的毒素降低到一定濃度時，臉上的斑點和青春痘就會慢慢消失。卵磷脂還具有一定的親水性，並有增加血紅素的功能，如果每天服用一定量的卵磷脂，就能為皮膚提供充分的水份和氧氣，使皮膚變得光滑柔潤。

What is Hand Analysis?

Hand analysis investigates the relationship between the universe, the small universe and the “whole message of life”.  Hand analysis is one of the methods of visual diagnosis in Chinese medicine.  To diagnose with palm lines and fortunetelling are entirely different. The former determines the status within the body by analyzing the changes of the palm lines.  Fortunetelling is using the changes of palm lines to predict the future.  These are two different areas.

Chinese hand analysis originated two thousand years ago.  In “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine,” it elaborates on the viewpoint of how by observing the physical body surface including the hand, one can determine the status of the internal organs and further diagnose specific illnesses for the person.

In the 1970s, American scholars revealed the principle behind using palm print, heredity, and disease to diagnose an illness called dermatoglyphics.

The main theory behind hand analysis is bioholography.  For every organism, the message of each specific area will reflect the life message of the whole organism.  Therefore, the nails, palm lines, the whole palm form a one-to-one relationship with the life message of the internal organs in the whole body.

The palm is the most reflective of the red flags of the internal organs within the body.  The palm is the intersection between the three yang meridians and the three yin meridians of the hand.  Altogether, there are six channels through which vital energy circulate and have a very close relationship with the internal organs. Therefore, the physiological and pathological changes within the body can be transmitted through the meridians and the acupuncture points to the different parts of the hand.

From the perspective of modern medicine, there is an inseparable relationship among the nerves, blood vessels, each internal organ and the center of the cerebrum.  What is presently known is that the human body as it projects within the cerebral cortex resembles the shape of an inversion of the embryo.  The proportion of the hand in this projection is very large. It occupies about 4/5of the entire projection.

There is a saying that the ten fingers are connected to the heart.  This heart should include each center of the cerebrum and the internal organs.  The specificity and the regularity with the various pain sensation of the acupuncture points and the change (or the response) to the form of the palm, form the scientific basis behind visual diagnosis.

When our body consciousness is sensitive, our body starts to have certain reactions when influenced by the information and what is about to happen in the future.  The hand is like an antenna receiving and reacting towards various kinds of information.  It’s difficult to detect when things are minute and have less influence; but when there is energy with significant influence towards the energy of the human body, we will be able to detect this from our hand.  Just like when the leaves of a plant are dry, people will think that the root is lacking water and will supply water.  The hand is like the leaves.  Since the blood loops are rich with dense microcycles and centralized peripheral nerves, the hand is very sensitive with over 1,500,000 nerve endings and blood vessels.

The ending minute blood vessels of the different areas of the fingers and palms, the color deterioration, distortion and inflation of the surface may well reflect the corresponding area and the supply condition of energy and blood in the internal organs.  The blood flow condition of the end tip of the nails will especially reflect the problems of blood supply in the heart.

Since people are so busy and stressful with work in our society nowadays, many people cannot even detect if there are illnesses.  Only when the situation gets worse enough, people will then try to seek medical help, but often it is too late.    Thus, it is very important to diagnose illnesses early.  Observing the changes in the hand symptoms is one of the most simple and effective way for early diagnosis.

Observing the hand is one of the most simple and practical ways to understand a person.  Not only can you understand the health conditions of a person, but his/her personality as well.  The most significant characteristic and meaning of hand analysis is that it is simple, intuitive, economical and practical; it can diagnose illnesses early and it is easy to promote.

手診《一》

手診在生命全息中研究的是大宇宙、小宇宙與生命全息之間的一個關係。

手診是中醫望診的方法之一。掌紋診病和手相算命是截然不同的，掌紋診病是分析掌紋的變化來判斷體內的情況，手相算命是利用掌紋的變化來判斷禍福吉凶的，這是兩個不同的領域。

中國手診起源於兩千年以前，《黃帝內經》中，就論述了觀察人的體表，包括由手的情況，就可以知道人內部臟腑的情況，並進而推斷人體患有某種疾病的觀點。

在20世紀的70年代，美國學者由掌紋與遺傳、疾病，皆是了掌紋診病的原理，稱為「膚紋學」或「皮紋學」。

手診所根據的最主要理論就是：全息生物學理論。即任何生物，局部的信息可以反應整個生物體的生命信息。所以，手的指甲、掌紋、全掌，都與人體內臟的生命信息，形成了一對一的關係。

手掌是最能反映出體內臟的求救信號的地方，由於手掌是手三陽經和手三陰經的交匯處，共有六條經脈在這裏交匯在運行，而這六條經脈與內臟有密切的關係，（手太陰肺經、手陰明大腸經、手劂陰心包經、手少陽三熱經、手少陽心經和手陽明大腸經），因此，體內的生理和病理變化均可以由經絡穴位傳遞給手的各個部位。

從現代醫學角度來講，手上的神經、血管與各個臟器和大腦中樞關係密不可分。目前已知，人體在人的大腦皮質的投影似一個倒置的胎兒形狀，而手在這個投影比例中所佔的位置非常大，大約4/5強。

「十指連心」，這個心，應該包括大腦內的各個中樞和臟器。手掌上各個部位經穴的痛覺和形態上的改變（或說反應），其特異性和規律性就是望診的科學依據。

我們的身體意識在敏感的時候，如身體開始有些許反應時，受到了未來要發生的事情和資訊的影響，而手就象天線一樣首先收到和反應著各種資訊，對於很小的事情因為影響不大，我們很難分辨，對於那些對人體能量影響比較大的能量。資訊影響我們一定可以從手上看出來的，正如一棵植物一樣當葉子幹了的時候只們就會想到是樹根缺水了，趕快補水。手就象樹葉一樣，由於血液迴圈比較豐富，微循環密集，末稍神經集中，有多達150萬條末梢神經及血管，所以非常敏感。

指掌上不同部位的末梢小血管和淺表的變色、扭曲、膨脹，都可以反映出人體相應部位、臟腑的氣血供應狀況，尤其指甲末端血流情況可以反饋出心臟血流的供應問題。

現在社會工作繁忙，精神緊張，許多人就算身體內有疾病他也不知道，當他的病情惡化才有感覺急忙求醫問藥也後悔莫及，由此可見，疾病的早期診斷是很重要的，而觀察手部症狀變化是早期診斷最簡單、最有效的方法之一。

觀手是瞭解一個人最簡單、最實際的方法之一，從手不但瞭解一個人的健康狀況，也能瞭解一個人的性格。

手診最大的特點和意義在於：

簡單直觀、經濟實用、超前診斷、容易推廣。

如何知道雞蛋新不新鮮？

小常識
吃火鍋時，有人習慣把蛋加入火鍋內一起烹煮，有人用來調沙茶醬。
但無論如何，重點就在一個蛋上，如果蛋很新鮮，吃起來就很鮮美，如果不新鮮，嚴重的話就要掛急診了。

新鮮的蛋

介紹大家兩種辨別的方法：
1.看看蛋的外觀有沒有一粒粒的突出物，突出物越多就越新鮮。反之，如果外表越光滑就越不新鮮。
2.將蛋浸在冷水中，如果蛋是：
＊平躺著：就很新鮮
＊傾斜在水中，這顆蛋已經放了4~5天了。
＊浮在水面上，這顆蛋已經變質了。

Whether An Egg Is Fresh or Not?

An Fresh Egg

How do you know whether an egg is fresh or not?
When eating hot pot, some people would either put the evv directly into the pot or use it with Sha Cha as a sauce.
The important point is that if the egg is fresh, it will be delicious, if it's not fresh, you might end up going to the emergency room.
There are two ways of discerning whether an egg is fresh or not:
1. Observe whether the surface is bumpy and/or rough; the more the fresher.  On the contrary, the smoother it is the less fresh it would be.
2. When you soak the egg in cold water, if the egg is....
* .... laying flat, it is fresh.
* .... tilted in the water, the egg is 3-5 days old.
* .... floating on the water, the egg is spoiled.

The Law of the Garbage Truck

A Meaningful Little Story from Online

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The drive of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, The Law of the Garbage Truck.
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Dont take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. 
Dont take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. 
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. 
So....Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who dont. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! 
The seeds you plant today, determine the harvest you reap tomorrow.

垃圾車定律

很有意義的網路小故事
有一天，我跳上一輛計程車，打算來到機場。正當我們開上正確的車道時，突然間一輛黑色轎車從停車位開出，正好擋在我們前面。
計程車司機立即採剎車，車子滑行了一小段路，剛好閃開來車，兩車之間的距離就只差個幾英吋！
這一輛車的駕駛兇狠地甩頭，並且朝著我們大喊大叫。我的計程車司機只是微笑，對那傢伙揮揮手。我的意思是說，他表現得很友善。
於是我問他：「你剛才為什麼那麼作？那傢伙差點毀了你的車，還可能害我們受傷送醫院！」
這是當時我計程車司機告訴我的話，現在我就稱呼它為「垃圾車定律」。
他解釋說：「許多人就像『垃圾車』。他們到處跑來跑去，身上充滿了垃圾、充滿了沮喪、充滿了憤怒、充滿了忌妒、充滿了貪心不滿足、充滿了怨言、充滿了比較、充滿了見不得人好、充滿了算計、充滿了仇恨、充滿了傲慢與偏見、充滿了無知、充滿了愚痴、充滿了煩惱、充滿了報復和充滿了失望！
隨著心中的垃圾堆積又堆積，他們終需找個地方傾倒；有時間，我們剛好碰上了，垃圾就往我們身上丟.......
所以，不要介意，只要微笑、揮揮手、祝福他們，然後繼續走我們自己的路就行！
千萬別將他們的垃圾接收，擴散給同事、家人、或其他路人。
這兒的底線是：成功的人，絕對不讓垃圾車，接管自己生活當中的任何一天；人生苦短，早上醒來絕對不要帶著遺憾。
所以...... 仁愛對待與你以禮相待的人；不用去理會那群「無理取鬧者」。生命只有10%由自己決定，但90%看你如何利用它！
過一個奇妙的、沒有垃圾的日子吧！你今天所栽植的種子，會決定你明天的收穫。

Leftover stool… the unknown terrifying truth Part 2

How to deal with the problem of leftover stool

Yam-The Best Natural Food

With the hustle and bustle of life nowadays, people usually have excretion problems and some even have constipation problems.  For many working women, the amount of excretion each day is probably 100 grams.  The amount of excretion is grossly out of proportion to the amount of food intake.  Some people even have problems of not being able to excrete for 2 or 3 days due to work related stress.  For people with leftover stools, taking some quality probiotic will help solve the problem. Probiotic is the best nutrient for cleaning the intestines which is very important.  Due to the fact that about 70% of the immune system is situated within the intestines to resist the attack from germs and viruses, as long as your intestines are healthy, you can avoid 70% of illnesses!

For you and your family, the following procedures are recommended to help the body to detoxify and lose weight:

   1)    Walk 10,000 steps.  Do you need to count each step? No, just walk for about an hour each day.

   2)    Please drink 500cc of warm water when you get up in the morning.  Daily intake of water should be at least 2,000 cc.

   3)    5 to 9 kinds of fruits and vegetables of different colors (preferably) should be taken each day. 

A   Weekly 1 kg detoxifying meal

     If you cannot prepare the detoxification meal for yourself and your family, it is recommended that you take a 1kg detoxification meal every week.  According to doctors, the principle behind the weekend 1kg detoxification meal is to utilize massive amounts of fiber to cleanse the intestinal tract.  You do not need to be on a diet; just replace your Friday and Saturday dinners with the detoxification meal, and you’ll be able to get rid of your leftover stools! 

      

The Best Nutritional Suppliment

     Friday night: 250 grams of yogurt + 500 grams of sweet potato (steam it and eat it with the skin) + 2 apples.  

     Saturday night: 250 grams of yogurt + 500 grams of sweet potato (steam it and eat it with the skin)

     Sunday morning: happily go through excretion and eliminate leftover stools thoroughly.
