從臉看健康 臉部皺紋=骨質疏鬆

你相信嗎?從中醫「蠟黃的面色、混濁的目光」,可以揪出對應器官的健康問題。其實,西醫也能「從臉看健康」,包括臉部有皺紋是骨質疏鬆、眼白出現斑點是高膽固醇,以及眉毛變稀,代表甲狀腺機能低下等。英國《每日郵報》整理出6大臉部器官與相對應的病徵,讓民眾照照鏡子時,也能自我診斷,找出疾病的蛛絲馬跡。

毒物不入口!蔬果清洗4秘訣大公開

 

蔬菜水果一定要洗過再吃,相信大家都知道,至於清洗的方法到底對還不對,恐怕不是每個人都有把握。有些人會在清水裡加鹽,有些人會用洗米水,有些人會用浸泡,又有些人會快洗,但到底有哪些方法可以有效去除殘留的農藥?又有哪些清潔方法,根本就是錯誤的呢?

馬禮遜家長的見證:

Over the summer a car accident totally changed the life of my family . We experienced 21 days of grace, just like Psalm 66: 10-12 says, “For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.”今年的暑假發生一場車禍,改變了我們全家,21天恩典之日,正如詩篇661012神阿、你曾試驗我們、熬煉我們、如熬煉銀子一樣。你使我們進入網羅、把重擔放在我們的身上。你使人坐車軋我們的頭.我們經過水火.你卻使我們到豐富之地。

 

 On June 5my husband and my daughter were riding a scooter past the China Medical Hospital. They were hit by a truck that was turning left illegally. They were both unconscious. There was a doctor passing by who was the parent of a 9th grade at Morrison;  he immediately performed CPR for my husband and called the hospital for intensive care, so they were saved from more serious danger. Later I found out that the accident location was at the wall of Morrison’s old campus.  My husband suffered contusions in both lungs, bleeding from his left lung into his chest, and  fractures to his face, the first to eighth ribs on his left side, his left clavicle fracture, and his left scapula. My daughter had serious internal bleeding in her head, open fractures on her left tibia, and fractures to her 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th bones of her left foot. At that time my husband suffered extremely. My daughter was unconscious. I went through total of their six operations, each one taking seven to eight hours. In total, there were two weeks of ICU and 21 days in the hospital. I almost collapsed during the hard time, but thanks to the encouragement, help and prayer from our school and the parents I managed to hold on. I still remember their accompaniment, holding my hands and giving me strength, waiting outside of the operating room, going between the two ICUs on the 2nd floor and 3rd floor, and preparing food for me after the operations to make sure I had something to eat. During the first week, they made sure I got rest, they even took a break with me, because I had to fight on. They knew I had had surgery just three months prior to this accident. There were countless acts of grace from God through these challenges. There were 20,000 sisters and brothers from the churches of USA who constantly prayed for them during the time my husband was in ICU and suffering from trying to survive. Thanks to God, his condition was stable after being intubated and didn’t get worse so that he could avoid a tracheostomy. Therefore, he was able to bear a series of surgeries. My husband’s lung had to withstand the situation that he couldn’t undertake through each surgery. Because of everyone’s prayers, we didn’t give up. My husband always praised God every time after he got out of the danger and woke up from the surgery. He still gave a thumbs up even if his hands and feet were tied! Hallelujah! My God is great! My daughter had been through three operations. Everyone prayed so hard for her before she woke up from the surgery! After she woke up and got to know her condition, she was always so brave and strong except suffering from the pain. Teachers and classmates gave her lots of love and encouragements. They came to hospital every day and accompanied her through the most difficult time.今年65日先生載著女兒經過中國醫藥學院時,被違規左轉貨車撞擊,二人不支倒地,沒想到當時正好有位馬禮遜九年級學生家長也是位醫師、經過路口立刻為先生第一時間緊急急救處理,立刻召集醫院醫護急救,使他們脫離更嚴重的危險,(事後得知出事地點確是以前舊校區圍牆的位置。)先生當時已是顏面骨折,雙肺挫傷併左肺第一根至第八根肋骨骨折併左肺氣血胸左鎖骨骨折,左肩胛骨折。女兒也重傷顱內出血,左側骨、左側脛骨開放性骨折,左足1345骨折,當時爸爸痛苦不已,女兒昏迷不醒,經歷他們共六次都是七丶八小時的手術,兩週加護病房的日子,住院共21天,艱熬的過程,很多次我都面臨崩潰,特別感謝所有馬禮遜學校及班媽媽的鼓勵和協助、代禱,到現在還記得許多陪我、抓着我手給我許多力量,在急診室多次開刀房外等待,ICU二間二樓三樓的跑,開刀後為我準備好食物,確定我有吃飯,第一週陪我休息確定我有休息,因為我不能倒,他們知道我自己三個月前也才動過手術,這一切恩典是數算不盡,美國教會弟兄姊妹及各地有二萬人一直在為他們祈禱,先生在ICU期間與生命痛苦的博鬥交戰,感謝主!叉管之後各指數平穩,沒有悪化進入氣㓛,才開始接受一連串的手術,每次手術都面臨肺部再次承受不住的挑戰,但大家的代禱托住我們,每次都脫離險境,他只要在清醒時就會讃美神,就算手腳被綁住了也會豎起大拇指!哈利路亜!我神真偉大!女兒經歷三次大手術,都在昏睡中,大家努力的祈禱!當她清醒後知道自己的狀況,除了疼痛之外,一直表現出勇敢與堅強,老師及班上同學更是愛她鼓勵她,天天到醫院陪她,伴她渡過這最艱難時刻。

6大訣竅!巧妙防堵餿水油

《華人健康網》近來台灣關於食物原料、成份的話題不斷,知名麵包店「胖達人」日前也被踢爆標榜著「無添加人工香精」的天然歐式麵包,事實上製作工廠中就擺放著各種人工食用香精,雖然使用人工香精未違法,但是吃太多香精對人體也有不小的傷害,長期大量食用會造成肝臟負擔、甚至肝功能異常。

天然不含人工添加物的麵包,只會有淡淡香氣,而非過濃的不自然香氣。(圖片/華人健康網)

增添食品香氣 數千種香精廣泛使用

1、全麥麵包≠全食品


大家都知道全麥包更利于健康,因爲它富含纖維,能幫助人體打掃腸道垃圾,延緩消化吸收,有利于預防肥胖。 去超市、面包房不難找到全麥包,但如果壹看配料表會發現,真正的全麥面包非常少,甚至是很難找,通常配料表的第壹項都不是全麥粉。

真正的全麥包是用沒有去掉外面麸皮和麥胚的全麥粉制作,顔色有點微褐,肉眼能看到很多麥麸的小粒,質地也比較粗糙,但有香氣。 很多商家爲了讓消費者更愛吃,則是用白面粉來做,然後加少量焦糖色素染成褐色,但本質上仍然是白面包。

壹定要看到足夠多的麥麸碎片,才能認定是全麥包,不過口感上真的有點粗。



2、日本豆腐≠豆腐

我們吃豆腐除了口味之外,壹個是要得到其中的優質蛋白質,另外壹個就是獲取大量的鈣質,但這兩種在日本豆腐中都非常少,雖然口感上很嫩,也去掉了傳統豆腐的略微苦味。

而我們傳統的豆腐是用石膏和鹵水制成,含有豐富的鈣和鎂,內酯豆腐則是用葡萄糖酸內酯凝固劑制成,不含鈣也不含鎂。同時爲了擁有特別嫩的口感加入了很多保水成分,水分含量過高,所以其營養成分當然就變得很“稀”了。在意識中總認爲這是壹樣的東西,日本豆腐産自日本,日貨顯得精細;豆腐是我們傳統的仿間技藝,最傳統也是很正綜的,雖然看起來不壹樣,但成分是壹樣。

3、果醋飲料≠果醋


果醋及果醋飲料也越來越被廣大消費者所接受。可是大家常常很容易將果醋與果醋飲料的概念混淆。

果醋是以葡萄、蘋果等水果爲原料,在微生物的作用下經和醋酸發酵制成的壹種酸性調味料。發酵後兌入壹定比例的水方可飲用,其醋酸含量必須大于5%,具有幫助消化,促進新陳代謝,消除疲勞等功效。

而果醋飲料雖也以水果爲主要原料經微生物發酵,但還會再添加果汁或色素、香精、甜味劑等調配而成,其醋酸含量壹般遠遠小于5%,且營養作用少之又少。

4、爆米花≠玉米
