睡不好破坏葡萄糖 充分睡眠可防糖尿病

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 9:32 am

沉睡和充分睡眠,对预防患糖尿病非常重要。

研究专家说,瘦削健康的成年男子,若连续三晚被剥夺了称为“慢波熟睡”的沉睡,会造成抗拒胰岛素情况,这种情况与患上二型糖尿病的机遇率高有关系。

研究人员说,连续三晚没睡好,其结果相当于增加体重20至30磅(9至13.6公斤)所带来的压力。这会减低人体承受葡萄糖的能力。

芝加哥大学医学院研主持这项研究工作的范科特医生指出:“这显示熟睡不但对脑部很重要,对身体其他部分也很重要。”

研究员发现,一个人只要连续三晚没睡好,身体分解葡萄糖的能力就会严重受损,患上糖尿病的几率会跟着上升。

芝大研究员指出,虽然长期面对睡眠不足的人,他们的身体处理葡萄糖的能力会相应调整,但对老人和肥胖者来说,情况可能就不一样,不良的睡眠模式可能是他们患糖尿病的因素之一。

范科特说:“我校实验室以前的研究显示,慢性或局部睡眠不足,同食欲突变、新陈代谢失常、身躯肥胖和患糖尿病的机率有许多关连。”

范科特表示,该实验结果显示,改善睡眠质量的策略,可能有助于预防或延迟人们患二型糖尿病的几率。

Think While You Sleep

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 2:12 pm

Your body may be resting, but your brain’s always at work.

Studies show that people given a mathematical problem before they went to bed had higher chances of solving it the next morning. Also, if you’re studying for a test or preparing for a presentation, review the material right before you turn off the lights.

“Since most memory consolidation happens during sleep, anything you read right before bed is more likely to be encoded as long-term memory,” says Men’s Health.

Different Function of Your L and R Ears

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 2:10 pm

Your left ear and right ear have different specialties. “If you’re stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear. It’s better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

If, on the other hand, you’re trying to identify that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.” (Source: Men’s Health)

Test your hearing superpowers on the mosquito tone, a high frequency that usually only young people can hear. See how the mosquito tone went down at Gawker HQ.

Scratch your leg to make it to the loo

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 2:07 pm

Women trying to control the sudden and seemingly irrepressible urge to get to the bathroom need only to vigorously scratch the back of their leg.

Scratch the back of your leg. “If you scratch or rub the back of your calf for a few moments, really vigorously, you may interrupt the message from your bladder to your brain just long enough for you to make it to the toilet,” [continence expert Janetta] Webb said.”  (source: Sydney Morning Herald)

Thinking about sex can help you hold it for a little extra time, too.

Stop brain freeze with your tongue

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 2:01 pm

If you sip on that frozen margarita too fast, you’ll have an ice cream headache in no time. Stop it with a simple tongue technique:

“Press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. “Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too,” says [Ben Abo, an emergency medical- services specialist at the University of Pittsburgh.] “In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache.” The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside.”

丈夫何以叫”老公”,妻子何以稱”老婆”?

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 5:54 pm

據說源於唐代的一段故事。

唐代有一個名士,名叫麥愛新,他看到自己的妻子年老色衰,便產生了嫌棄老妻,再納新歡的想法,並寫了一副上聯放在案頭:

「荷敗蓮殘,落葉歸根成老藕。」

被他的妻子看到了,妻子從對聯中看到了丈夫棄老納新的念頭,於是便提筆續了一副下聯:

「禾黃稻熟,吹糠見米現新糧。」

以「禾稻」對「荷蓮」,以「新糧」對「老藕」,不僅對得十分工整貼切,新穎通俗,而且,「新糧」與「新娘」諧音,饒有風趣。
麥愛新讀了妻子的下聯,被妻子的才思敏捷和拳拳愛心所打動,便放棄了棄舊納新的念頭。
妻子見丈夫回心轉意,不忘舊情,乃揮筆寫道:

「老公十分公道。」

麥愛新也揮筆寫了下聯:

「老婆一片婆心。」

這個帶有教育意義的故事很快被流傳開來,世代傳為佳話。

公廁裡的烘乾機不要用

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 12:23 pm

公共場所裡的廁所,通常都有烘乾機的設備,洗過手後烘一下,雙手就乾爽了,用起來非常方便,使用的頻率也很高。

但最近的醫學研究指出,廁所裡的烘乾機,長期放置在溫暖潮濕的空氣中,又缺乏消毒,早已成為細菌的溫床,洗淨的手經由烘乾機吹乾的同時,正好把細菌散布在雙手上,如果用手接觸口鼻,就會把細菌帶入人體內,所以到公共場所上廁所時,洗手後用紙擦乾就行,不要再使用烘乾機了。

睡覺窗戶忌緊閉

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 11:49 am

人入睡後,每分鐘要吸入300毫升氧氣,呼出250毫升二氧化碳,如果門窗緊閉,密不透風,不消3小時,室內約二氧化碳量就會增加3倍以上,細菌、塵埃等有害物質也會成倍增長。

因此,睡覺時應留些窗縫,以便讓室外新鮮空氣不斷流入,室內二氧化碳及時排出。

瘦大腿的方法

Filed under: Knowledge — jfree @ 5:14 pm

我知道你很懒,懒得有时令我生气。

好啦,今天苏老师就在这里教你一个怪而不难的招,包你易瘦添福气。

其实很简单,而且每天都可以做。

只要当你坐於书桌前或电脑前的時候,拿一張纸,夾于两腿膝盖中间,維持它不掉下即可。

虽然听起來很简单,不过实行起來可會酸酸的哩,不简单啊不简单!

这是因为这样的动作会使用到平常不常用到的大腿內侧肌肉。

试试看吧,懒猪!需要维持此动作多久?

能多久就多久吧,看你的造化了。

2.生日蠟燭放入冰箱冷凍24小時,再插在蛋糕上,就不會出現蠟油流下弄髒蛋糕的情況。

3.啤酒、紅酒和白蘭地,倒在製冰盒中可成一塊塊固體冰酒塊,吃起來別有一番風味。

4.綠豆、黃豆、赤豆等豆類一般不易煮爛,但只要先煮一下,待冷卻後放入冰箱冷藏室,半天後取出,即可煮爛。

5.手腳被燙後,將燙傷的手腳立即伸入冰箱內即可減輕疼痛,又能避免起泡。

6.絲質衣服不易燙平,如將衣服噴上水裝進布袋內放進冰箱裡,10分鐘取出熨燙,衣服便會很平整。

7.在冰箱果盤盒內養魚,不換水可保持數天不死,可隨食隨取,既方便又鮮活。
