Over the  past 1.5 years, I realised my compassion quickly affected and eroded by those around...😵😓😫😈

Thank goodness reattended the Mani practice and Vajrasattva retreat that does have some effect to clear the obscurations and purification. Slight recovery and rekindled and reconnection to my basic motivation !

The recent Fo2 at DDS with the teachings also rekindled and reconnected me with Amituofo and DDM.
I must try not to be affected by others and retain my basics...

May All have no obstacles to attend good practices and retreats to clear their obscurations and be purified and always be reconnected with their basics...
Amituofo 💖🙏🙏🙏

Reflecting I finally realised why the following prayer or dedication is important :

May Bodhicitta, the excellent and precious mind💖
Where it is unborn, may it arise.💓
Where it is born, may it not decline 💗
And may it ever increase, rising higher and higher.💖🙏

「持誦觀世音菩蕯，普門品中的四句偈語，瞎子竟重見天日」
圖文：谷歌網站

不多久以前，在京滬路中點的常州天寧寺有位雙目失明的出家人，當然，處處都感到不方便，痛苦萬分，後來經寺內住持和尚教導他每天拜佛，念誦『救苦救難大慈大悲觀世音菩薩』聖號一千聲，誦法華經觀世音菩薩普門品，日子久了，一定可以重見光明。

但失明的出家人，學誦困難，僅學念了普門品中的四句偈語：
無垢清淨光，慧日破諸闇，能伏災風火，普明照世間。

這一位失明多年的出家人，依了住持和尚的話，每天專注，一心一意的在虔誠的念誦，經過數月的時間，一天忽然重見天日，破除一切障礙。此人仍活在人間，是我煮雲法師親眼所見的事實。

宣化上人：那麼這普門品的四句偈，究竟他怎會醫治眼睛的疾病？ 這是不可思議的境界，乃是觀世音菩薩的威神力加被。

總而言之，你要是相信經文，而應用於任何事，都非常靈驗，很有效用。

宣化上人這段開示，就是引述《觀音靈異紀》之『病目獲癒』，裡面提到了（普門品）這四句偈治癒眼疾的事蹟：

以前在台州有一位名叫處蹈的僧人，在他中年的時候患上了眼病，由於他經常持誦大悲神咒，終於感動觀音菩薩在他夢中示現並傳授普門品中的四句法偈，『無垢清淨光，慧日破諸暗，能伏災風火，普明照世間』。令他每天清晨供一杯清淨的水，焚香念偈七遍或四十九遍，念完後用杯中水清洗眼睛。不管是積患多年還是新患的各種眼病，沒有不能治癒的。

處蹈夢醒後，仍然記得非常清楚，於是按照這個方法去做，果然治癒了眼病，並且健康安樂地活到了八十八歲的高壽。

當時記錄這件靈驗事跡的人，也曾經患眼病，足有一個月，有一位名叫孫震元的醫師向他傳授這個方法，實行後也非常靈驗。由於不敢私自保有，於是將這個方法記錄了下來。

觀音普門品中的這首四句偈，有很深的道理在裡面，並不只是可以清洗治癒眼疾，還能清洗心靈，降伏除滅我們內心的三毒惡習種子，所以能消除現行於外在的一切風災、火災、疾病等災難惡業，恢復我們本具的自性清淨光明。

20 Happy Habits

Harvard University Recommended 20 happy habits for 2016.
哈佛大学推荐20个快乐的习惯 2016 。

1. Be grateful. 
要学会感恩。

Slow down, look around you, and pay attention to the little details in your life – the delicate purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, the hot shower that washes away your long day, and the smile in your partner’s eyes…
让自己变慢脚步，看看你的四周，关注生活中的细微之处：人行道上淡紫色的花，美丽的日落，洗去你一天疲惫的淋浴，伴侣眼中的笑容。

When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beauty, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with happiness.
当你的感恩之心能够欣赏生活的美，思考和祝福，你自然就充满了幸福感。

2. Choose your friends wisely.
明智的选择自己的朋友。

According to Harvard, the most important external factors affecting individual happiness are human relationships. So if you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are optimistic, who appreciate you as you are, and who can make your life richer, bigger, more fun, and more meaningful.
根据哈佛，影响个人幸福最重要的外部因素是人际关系。所以如果你想变得开心的话，要选择和乐观的朋友在一起，他们能欣赏你真实的自己，让你的生活变得更丰富，快乐，有意义。

3. Cultivate compassion.
培养同情心。

When we try to step into other people’s shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, we’re more likely to handle the situation with compassion, objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more happiness.
当我们代替别人，站在另一个角度看问题，我们更能用同情心，客观和有效的处理问题。生活中就会少一些冲突，多一点快乐。

4. Keep learning.
不断学习。

Learning keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we engage our brains and put them toward productive uses, we’re less likely to dwell on unhappy thoughts and much more likely to feel happy and fulfilled.
学习让我们保持年轻，梦想让我们充满活力。我们运用大脑，进行运作的时候，我们就不大会想不开心心的事情，我们会变得更开心和满足。

5. Become a problem solver.
学会解决问题。

Happy people are problem solvers. When they encounter a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fall into a depressive state. Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies toward finding creative a solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to – and whatever challenges life throws your way.
开心的人是会解决问题的人。在生活中遇到挑战的时候，他们不会自虐，然后变得很消沉。他们会直面挑战，调动全身力量寻找解决办法。通过变成一个解决问题的人，你会建立自己的自信心和下决心要的事情和直面挑战的能力。

6. Do what you love.
做你想做的事情。

Since we spend over one-third of our adult life working, loving what we do has a huge impact on our overall happiness. If this is not possible at the moment, then try to find enjoyment and meaning in your current work, or cultivate a hobby that involves doing something you love.
既然我们成人生活的三分之一时间都在工作，那么做我们想做的事对我们的整体辛福感就有很大的影响。如果现在不能做你想做的事情，那就试着在你现在的工作中寻找快乐和意义，或者培养一个你喜爱的兴趣。

7. Live in the present.
活在当下。

When you feel depressed, you’re living in the past. When you feel worried or anxious, you’re living in the future. But when you feel content, happy and peaceful, you’re living in the present.
你感到沮丧，是因为你活在过去。你会感到担忧和焦虑，是因为你活在未来。但是当你感到满足，开心和平和时，你才是活在当下。

8. Laugh often.
要经常笑。

Laughter is the most powerful anecdote to anger or depression. Research has shown that the simple act of curving the corners of your mouth can increase your feeling of happiness. So don’t take life too seriously. Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.
笑是对抗生气或沮丧最有力的的东西。研究表明简单的嘴巴上扬也可以增加你的幸福感。不要把生活看的太严肃。要学会在每日的奋斗中寻找幽默感和笑声。

9. Practice forgiveness.
学会原谅。

Resentment and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.
憎恨和生气是对自我的惩罚。当你释怀的时候，事实上你是在对自己施以善意。最重要的是，学会原谅自己。每个人都犯错。只有通过我们的错误，我们才慢慢学会如何成为一个更强大，更好的人。

10. Say thanks often. 
要经常说谢谢。

Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it’s equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way, big or small.
对生活中的祝福要学会欣赏。向那些让你生活变好的人，无论或大或小，表达出你的欣赏之情也同样重要。

11. Create deeper connections.
学会深交。

Our happiness multiplies when we connect and bond with another human being on a deeper level. And being fully present and listening are two of the most important skills to strengthening that bond and bringing happiness to ourselves, and to others.
我们的幸福感会在和另一个人的深交中不断猛增。专注聆听是加强这种关系纽带和把幸福感带给自己和别人的两个最重要的方面。

12. Keep your agreement.
守承诺。

Our self-esteem is built on the agreements we’ve made with ourselves. And high self-esteem has a direct correlation to happiness. So keep your agreements with others and with yourself.
我们的自尊是建立在我们对自己守承诺的情况下。高度的自尊和幸福感有直接关联。所以要对自己和别人遵守承诺。

13. Meditate.
冥想。

According to Harvard, people who take 8 sessions of mindfulness meditation training are, on average, 20% happier than a control group. Such training can lead to structural brain changes including increased grey-matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection.
根据哈佛，平均上，上过8次冥想训练的人要比控制狂多开心20%。这样的训练可以导致大脑结构变化，包括海马体黑色物质的密度，其对学习和记忆很重要，在结构上和自我意识，同情心和反省。

14. Focus on what you’re doing.
关注你在做的事情。

When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state – called the “flow.” When you’re living in the flow, you’re less likely to care about what others may think of you, and less bothered by things that are not that important. The result? More happiness, of course!
当你全身心投入一件事的时候，你就会处于一个开心的状态。当我们处于这种状态，你就不大会关心别人对你怎么看，不大会被不大重要的事情干扰。结果呢？更幸福，当然啦！

15. Be optimistic. 
要乐观。

For happy people, the glass is always half-full. If your tendency is to imagine the very worst-case scenario every time you face a challenge, then train yourself to reverse that tendency. Ask yourself what good can come out of the situation or what you can learn from it. Optimism surely fuels success and happiness.
对于开心的人来说，玻璃都一直是半满的。每当你面对一个挑战时，如果你倾向于想象最坏的想法，那就自我转换这种情况。告诉你自己一个状况中的好处或者你从中学到的东西。乐观肯定能驱动成功和幸福感。

16. Love unconditionally.
无条件的爱。

No one is perfect. Accept yourself for all of your imperfections. And do so for others. Loving someone unconditionally does not mean that you need to spend all your time with them or help them figure out their problems. Unconditional love means accepting people as they are, and allowing them to find their own ways, at their own pace.
没人是完美的。接受你自己所有的不完美。也要这样对待别人。无条件的爱一个人并不意味着你要花所有的时间和他们在一起，或者帮助他们解决问题。无条件的爱意味着接受真实的他们，以他们自己的步伐，让他们自己摸索。

17. Don’t give up.
不要放弃。

Unfinished projects and repeated defeats inevitably dampen one’s self-esteem. If you’ve made up your mind to do something, see it through. Don’t give up until you succeed. Remember, failure is temporary but defeat is permanent. And defeat only occurs when you give up.
没有完成的方案和不断的失败不可避免的会削弱你的自尊。如果你决定做某事，做完它。在成功之前都不要放弃。要记住，失败是暂时的，打败的永存的。只有当你放弃的时候，你才会被打败。

18. Do your best and then let go.
做最好的自己，然后放手。

Everyone has limitations, and things don’t always turn out to be what we’d like them to be – despite our efforts. So always give your best, and then let go. Let events run their course. When you’ve done your best, you’ll have no regrets.
每个人都有局限性。而且有时候尽管我们很努力做一件事情，但是总会事与愿违。所以做最好的自己，然后放手。当你尽了全力，你就没有遗憾了。

19. Take care of yourself. 
好好照顾自己。

A healthy body is the key to happiness. If you have poor health, it’s very difficult to be happy no matter how hard you try. So make sure you eat well, exercise and find time to rest. Take good care of your body, your mind and your spirit.
一个健康的身体是幸福的关键。如果你身体不好，你无论如何努力，都很难快乐。确信自己吃得好，做锻炼，找点时间休息。好好照顾你的身体，大脑和精神。

20. Give back. 
学会给予。

Doing good is one of the surest ways to feel good. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains becomes active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards. So it’s not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier than those who care less about others.
做好事是最能确保你心情好的方法之一。根据哈佛，人们做好事，他们的大脑变得活跃，就好像当你经历别的奖励时，大脑所受的刺激。所以，那些关心别人的人要比不大关心别人的人更开心。

胃不好有几个原因？

精神紧张

一个人在紧张、烦恼、愤怒时，其不良情绪可通过大脑皮质扩散到边缘系统，影响植物神经系统，直接导致胃肠功能失调，分泌出过多的胃酸和胃蛋白酶，使胃血管收缩、幽门痉挛、排空障碍，胃粘膜保护层受损，造成自我消化，形成溃疡。

酗酒无度

酒精本身可直接损害胃粘膜，酒精还能引起肝硬化和慢性胰腺炎，反过来加重胃的损伤。

过度疲劳

无论是体力劳动或是脑力劳动，如果疲劳过度，都会引起胃肠供血不足，分泌功能失调，胃酸过多而粘液减少，使粘膜受到损害。

饥饱不均

饥饿时，胃内的胃酸、蛋白酶无食物中和，浓度较高，易造成粘膜的自我消化。暴饮暴食又易损害胃的自我保护机制;胃壁过多扩张，食物停留时间过长等都会促成胃损伤。

饮食不洁

幽门螺杆菌感染是胃和十二指肠溃疡的重要诱因之一，在溃疡病人中，该菌的检出率高达70~90%，而溃疡病治愈后，该菌亦消失。溃疡病人可通过餐具、牙具以及接吻等密切接触传染，不洁的食物，也是感染的原因之一。

晚餐过饱

有些人往往把一天的食物营养集中在晚餐上，或者喜欢吃夜宵或睡前吃点东西，这样做，不仅造成睡眠不实，易导致肥胖，还可因刺激胃粘膜使胃酸分泌过多而诱发溃疡形成。

胃部不好怎么治疗？

消化不良

【大陵穴】

这个穴位在五行属土，对应着脾胃，是一味很经典的“健胃消食片”，可以降胃火、去心火，提升胃动力。脾胃不和，消化不良等都可以通过这个穴位来调。它在手掌根，腕横纹的中点上。

【 四缝穴】

四缝是经外奇穴，是消宿食、化积滞的专用穴。四缝原本被医家用来治疗小儿消化问题，后来证实，成人使用四缝效果也非常好。所以今后只要你遇到消化不良的问题，就可以找四缝解决，按摩就行，最好是用大拇指用力掐按，效果很神奇。

胃胀气

【足三里】

在膝盖下外侧，约四横指(约3寸)的小腿胫骨外侧有一凹沟处，这是强壮穴，力度按大一点，酸麻的经络传感可到脚背。按摩本穴可治一切肠胃消化系统疾病，包括消化不良、胃胀胃痛。

【内关穴】

仰掌，手腕往手肘的方向约三横指(约2寸)的距离处，在中间二骨两筋之间。胃胀或者有吃东西好像梗在胸口下不到胃部去的感觉，按一按此穴，气机调畅就通了。

There are various things that trigger the occurrence of swollen legs, such as hormonal disorders, heat, renal failure, cardiac insufficiency, pregnancy, problems with the blood vessels, etc.

Alternative medicine offers various anti-swelling remedies and parsley is shown to be the most effective among them.  The reason behind this is that it has the ability to eliminate excess fluids from the organism.

Natural Diuretic Recipe

For the preparation of parsley tea you need some fresh parsley. Don’t remove the root, as you need the whole plant.

Directions:

First, chop the parsley well. Then, pour 500 ml of water into a pot and bring it to boil. Add 5 teaspoons of the chopped parsley into the boiling water and boil for additional 5 minutes. When done, remove from heat and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes. Finally, strain the tea and consume three times on a daily basis.

The problems with swelling will go away very soon. See it for yourself!

A Treasure for Health
A Fast and Safe Way to Lose Weight

Many factors can cause a person to become overweight.

Over-eating, constipation, inactivity and a multitude of other bodily stressors can contribute to the problem.

Many people want to lose weight; however, shedding pounds is really difficult. Because of the substantial number of these people, desirous of shedding excess pounds, many kinds of weight-loss products have appeared on the market and they are nearly as profitable for the manufacturers as cosmetics. However, many weight-loss formulas contain chemicals and produce unpleasant side effects, as many women well know.

Some middle-aged men have “beer bellies” and some women have accumulated fat in the abdominal area after having children. They want to get rid of the fat, but for many, exercising at a gym is not always convenient.

Now I’ll tell you a secret:

Do prostrations every morning for half an hour and your abdominal fat will vanish.

For faster, superior results, prostrate for half an hour in the morning and another half-hour in the evening.

You’ll be surprised at how rapidly you achieve the desired effect

Maintaining healthful dietary habits and a moderate level of activity are also important factors and including prostration in your daily routine assists in improving overall lifestyle choices by increasing willpower. Prostrating frequently encourages people to assume natural control over their appetite with ease.

Clearing Energy Channels and Promoting Blood Circulation

Multiple systems of circulation exist within the body. They include the digestive, vascular and energetic systems. An obstruction to the flow of any circulatory system will result in disease and an acceleration of the aging process. A regular prostration practice promotes smooth circulation, clearing energetic blockages and facilitating physical and emotional balance.

There are two major energy channels in the body: the “Ren” and the “Du.”

The Ren channel promotes blood circulation and serves as the primary reservoir of yin energy in the body, while Du nourishes life energy and serves as the main keeper of yang energy. When both channels are clear, blood and energy circulate freely in the body.

Prostration is also a gentle aerobic exercise that increases oxygen intake and – like any fitness activity – stimulatesthe production of endorphins, boosting mood and immunity.

Optimizing Heart and Brain Function

By the time they reach midlife, many people experience a decline in mental acuity. Heart problems, too, become more common in middle age.

The proliferation of sedentary jobs in modern life contributes to the fact that a significant segment of the population fails to exercise regularly, resulting in reduced oxygen levels in the heart and brain.

Working in an office setting for more than three hours often causes tiredness, as sitting for extended periods of time, even if the brain is active, restricts oxygen flow. A modicum of physical exercise and fresh air breaks are necessary to maintain mental sharpness.

Prostration engages the heart and brain, in part by repeatedly altering the body’s position from a typical upright stance to a downward-facing one. This whole bodyup-and-down motion encourages increased oxygen intake, providing a simple way to keep the cardiovascular and cerebral systems in optimum condition.

-- except from "Prostration for Better Living: An Introduction to Practicing Prostration"

It is recommended to do on yoga mat to protect your knee cap .

We, human being, as long as our spleen, liver, large intestine and kidney are healthy, we will be far away from cancer, diabetes, heart attack and high blood pressure.

🌷}脾，一定要健康。
Keeping the Spleen healthy must be top priority.

如果有病，就先恢复脾的功能。
Once you are sick, you must work on the recovery of your spleen first.

每天三餐，五谷杂粮一定要占总饮食的 50％，一定要养成这个习惯。 
Our daily three meals should contain 50% of grains/wheat/brown rice, must learn to make it as part of our eating habit and diet.

🍚}杂粮就是红豆、黄豆、绿豆、薏仁，这些都是杂粮类，莲子也很好，有了这个概念之后，脾好肝就好。
Grain crops are red bean, soya bean, green bean and Chinese Pearl barley. Lotus seeds are also good. Once your spleen is good, your liver will automatically be healthy.

🕙}脾在造血，一天有两个重要的时间，就是子时24:00和午时12:00，所以，你该休息的时候一定要休息。 
..现在的人，大部分都是肝不好，为什么不好？ 
Spleen is the organ that is manufacturing blood. The important schedules for processing are 12:00 am and 12:00 pm. Thus, when you need to rest, you must rest. Nowadays, they are a lot of people who are having liver problems. Why is it?

..晚睡、吃油炸的东西、坏脾气，这三个正是肝的三大克星。 Sleeping late, eating oily and fried foods and bad mood, these are the three nemesis.

🐷}油包肝，你吃油的东西，油把整个肝包住，肝的功能完全丧失了，所以说，我们不要吃得太油腻。
When you eat oily foods, oil will cover up your whole liver, your liver will loss its functions.

🚶}当我们身体感觉不适的时候，此时疾病正在纠正人的过失，用身体的痛苦管教他，有痛苦的时候，代表我们要改变自己的生活方式。 
🚽每天早上，你上厕所感觉很困难，这个表示什么？ 
When we are feeling uncomfortable, the sickness is coming to rectify our negligence, using pain to educate us, we must change our way of living.
Every morning, do you find difficulty to pass motion? What does that mean?

🍃}你身体纤维素摄取量完全不足。 Your intake of fibre is not enough.

..万病之源，都是从你的大肠不能正常排泄开始。
Thousands of sickness main problems are caused by the inability to perform daily passing motion through the large intestine.

 ..如果你的大肠很好，那你早上应该不是自己醒过来，而是被大肠的蠕动叫醒，大肠蠕动在叫你了，为什么？ 
If your large intestine is good form, in the morning, you will be woken up by the movement of your  large intestine calling you. Why?

..因为五到七点就是大肠最活跃的时间，所以为什么我们告诉癌症病人一定要晚上九点睡，因为你的大肠早上六点到七点的时候自然就会蠕动，叫你起床，蹲马桶了。 
Because 5:00 am to 7:00 am, our large intestine is most actively performing it's functions. That's why we inform cancer patients must go to sleep at 9:00 pm. Because large intestine will automatically wake you up between 6:00 am to 7:00 am to sit on the toilet bowl.

💩}你一天要上几次厕所才够？ 
How many times you must go to toilet everyday?

请记住：如果四、五天才上一次厕所，叫重度便秘；
Please remember, if it's 4-5 days, you are seriously in constipated.

两三天上一次厕所，这个叫中度便秘；
2-3 days once, considered as medium level of constipation.

一天上一次厕所，叫轻度便秘。 
Once a day is mild constipation.

..食物进入体内十二小时，没有排出去，就会形成毒素。 
Once the foods is maintained inside our stomach for 12 hours, it became poisonous particles.

因为毒素没有排出去，我们的大肠壁就会吸收这个毒素，吸收以后，透过静脉又送回肝脏去，糟糕了！ 造成肝亏损，这个问题就很严重了。 
Because the poisonous particles are not passing out, it will be absorbed by the large intestinal wall, which then will send back to the liver, thus, damaging our liver. This will create a serious problem.

💝}肝不好跟大肠有直接关联，只要大肠一通顺，肝就会好了，免疫系统也跟着恢复，而且送到心脏的血都是干净的，所以什么病都不容易罹患。 
There is a direct relationship between our liver and large intestine. Once our large intestine is passable, liver will get recover, and build-up our antibody. Then, blood delivery to heart will be clean and no sickness will attack you.

..当一个人感觉到每天很容易疲倦、很容易累，表示你的肝功能已经出现问题了，血已经没有办法回流到肝！ 
When you always feel tired or very easy to get tired, that means you are having problems with the liver, your blood is unable to return back to your liver.

💪}你身体健康靠的是什么？
What is your health depending on?

 💤}睡眠的时间，脾去收集血液，送到肝脏去解毒，解毒以后，干净的血液送到心脏去，心脏再送到全身，就能获得营养，就能获得健康。
While you are sleeping, your spleen is going to collect blood and deliver to the liver for dialysis. After cleaning and filtering up the poisonous particles, it will then deliver to the heart, the heart will then despatch throughout your body. You then received nutrients and get healthy.

 💨}很不幸的是，现代很多人脾已经先出现问题，脾本身就不收集血液。 
Unfortunately, nowadays people are having problems with their spleen. Spleen itself is not storing blood.

只有一个办法最养脾，五谷最养脾，可是现代身体为什么都这么差，身体这么多病？
There is only one method to maintain healthy spleen, eating grains/oat/wheat are the most effective way. Why modern body is so poor, with so many sicknesses?

 ..因为都不吃五谷杂粮，吃汉堡、炸鸡、牛排、薯条，又吃白米饭，所以你要吃造物主原创的食物，一定要吃五谷杂粮，原始的杂粮，比如糙米等。 
Because they don't eat grains/oat, they eat burgers, fried chicken, steak, French fries, white rice. You must eat the source foods like brown rice, oat, wheat.

喝檸檬水的益处与方法

語錄、生活、時事

【喝檸檬水的人，看過來，你喝對了嗎？】

1 .檸檬片你泡對了嗎？再忙也要看，然後告訴別人，把愛傳出去！自己也要重視！！將檸檬切片放入密閉的容器中，放入蜂蜜，加入涼水使得淹沒檸檬片，蓋好容器，放入冰箱。轉天拿出兩片泡水即可~這樣可以把檸檬中豐富的VC激發出來~1個檸檬能喝1個星期左右。常喝能減少黑斑、雀斑發生的機率，讓肌膚美白水噹當哦！

2.熱的檸檬水救你一輩子! 檸檬水抗癌比化療強一萬倍! 檸檬～只殺癌細胞，切２ -３薄片檸檬放在杯子／容器裡，並加入熱水，它會變成「鹼性水」，每天飲用，對誰都有好處，熱檸檬水能釋放一種苦澀抗癌物質，這是在醫藥領域有效治療癌症的最新進展，請你仔細閱讀以下文章並自己評判它是否有效。

3. 檸檬是一個用來殺死癌細胞的神奇產品，它比化療強一萬倍。它的口感是愉快的，而且它並不產生像化療一樣的毒副作用。它對囊腫及腫瘤產生影響。這種植物被證明能夠補救所有類型的症，比世界上通常應用在化療方面的化療藥物阿黴素產品好一萬倍，它減慢癌細胞的生長。但更令人吃驚的是：用檸檬提取物這種類型的治療，只會破壞惡性腫瘤細胞，它不影響健康的細胞。

4.檸檬水＝血液循環＋鈣， 有空就自己弄點檸檬水來喝喝，一顆檸檬要加一千西西或二千西西的水，依個人喜好的酸度，自己調配！能不加糖就不要加糖，養生又美容！檸檬汁的好處：檸檬具有高度咸性，被認為是很好的治療所有疾病的藥，止咳、化痰、生津健脾，且對於人體的血液循環以及鈣質的吸引有相當大的幫助，其豐富的維他命Ｃ，不但能夠預防癌症、降低膽固醇、食物中毒，消除疲勞，增加免疫力，延緩老化，保持肌膚彈性，並且克服糖尿病、高血壓、貧血、感冒、骨質疏鬆症。

5.檸檬汁內的檸檬酸和檸檬多酚，均能有效預防深靜脈栓塞，調整血液循環，減低血凝塊的機會。血壓太高時，它可以調節血壓，它能抗抑鬱、抗應激和神經功能障礙。
　　
6.根據美國最新研究報告顯示，維他命Ｃ和維他命Ｅ的攝取量達到均衡標準，有助於強化記憶力，提高思考反應靈活度，是現代人增強記憶力的飲食參考。研究中顯示，由於血液循環功能的退化，造成腦部血液循環受阻，而妨礙腦部功能的正常運作。

7.檸檬具有抗氧化功效的水溶性維他命Ｃ類的食物，因此一天一杯檸檬汁有助於保持記憶力，且對身體無任何副作用，是日常生活中隨手可得的的健康食品。

8.改善骨質疏鬆： 檸檬中的檸檬酸能使鈣易深化並能螯合鈣，可大大提高人體對鈣的吸收率，增加人體骨密度，進而預防骨質疏鬆症。缺乏鈣質是導致骨質疏鬆症原因之一，而預防骨質疏鬆症第一步是先從改善飲食生活開始，就是常吃含維他命C豐富的檸檬、柚橘類水果。基於檸檬對人體的血液循環以及鈣質的吸引，非常有幫助。此外檸檬汁中的檸檬酸還有抗腸炎菌、沙門氏菌、腸道出血性大腸菌0-157等食物中毒菌效果，能減少人體內疲勞物質乳酸產生。

9.達到美容減重效果： 檸檬可說是女性的水果，因它能安胎，故稱「宜母子」。它又能美顏、減重，因其檸檬酸能去斑、防止色素沉著，內服外塗均有效果。檸檬本身就是美容妙品，可以促進胃裡蛋白分解砪的分泌，增加腸胃蠕動，幫助消化吸收。建議多喝檸檬水。

10.這一點最重要，喝完檸檬要嗽口再過一陣子最好刷牙，以免檸檬侵蝕牙牙，最好用吸管吸食喔，否則牙牙會敗光了，絕對要留意。

喝秋葵水治糖尿病

治糖尿病古老偏方　
試試喝秋葵水 ( 淑女的手指　)
──【偏方大會串】專題
【華人健康網 記者羅詩樺／台北報導】 2013年9月14日 10:00
糖尿病好發於40歲以上中年人，在近年來更有年齡層逐漸下降的趨勢，顯示出預防糖尿病已經是普羅大眾都要關心的保健議題。在養生食療方面專研甚深的香港導演嚴浩，在與民眾長期互動分享食療偏方中，提出了一道源自國外的治糖尿病偏方：秋葵水，不僅製作簡單，還可以有效降低血糖值。

國外已有研究證實，秋葵能夠幫助控制血糖，對於抗糖尿病有正面療效。（圖片／華人健康網）
根據世界衛生組織2011年的的報告指出，全世界有3.46億人患有糖尿病，2004年估計有340萬人死於高血糖引起的併發症。體內胰島素分泌不足，或不平衡，是導致糖尿病的主要因素，目前尚未有完全根治的方法，加上糖尿病又容易引起多種併發症，如果沒有好好控制病情，就有可能造成身體疾病叢生。
秋葵泡薑水去寒性，有助降血糖。
嚴浩導演表示，秋葵水偏方源自於印度，在許多分享經驗中，糖尿病患者飲用秋葵水後，都有血糖下降的效果。秋葵的黏液及豐富的可溶性膳食纖維，可以阻止腸道碳水化合物的消化，並降低葡萄糖的吸收；只要將新鮮秋葵去頭去尾、切片後泡入常溫水中一個晚上，早上空腹飲用秋葵水就可以了。
搭配運動，改善新陳代謝更有效。
不過光靠喝秋葵水，當然不能作為治療糖尿病的特效藥，糖尿病患者最重要的還是要靠運動來增加身體新陳代謝，促進體內荷爾蒙分泌平衡，例如簡單的爬樓梯、快走，或是在家就可以做的下蹲運動，都是有助於增加活動量的小方法。

秋葵水偏方源自印度，將秋葵切片泡水每天飲用，能改善糖尿病患者病情。（圖片提供／推守文化）
而在嚴導所著《嚴選祕方》一書中，關於秋葵的部分也有讀者反映服用上出現問題，發現飲用三天後就開始出現咳嗽的情況，其實是因為秋葵性質偏涼，脾胃虛寒、容易腹瀉者會較敏感，嚴浩導演表示自己也是屬於體寒的人，因此會建議用薑片煮過的水，等水涼了以後再加入切片秋葵置放一晚，就可以減低秋葵的寒性。
《秋葵水做法》
食材：新鮮秋葵兩支、生薑兩片。
步驟：
1.新鮮秋葵去頭、去尾，切片。
2.兩片薑在水中煲出味，置涼。
3.用室溫薑水浸泡秋葵一晚，隔天早上起床後濾渣空腹飲用。

Cooking food with Care

Email on safe cooking:
==================== 

Xuanwu Hospital Professor Qi articles:
"When steaming your food, make sure you open the lid to boil the water first .
If water is used straight from the tap, your food will be contaminated by absorbing all the cancer causing chlorine upon heating which is a serious health hazard."

No wonder more and more people with cancer. With pot cooking something, be sure to use water, or filtered water. Because if the direct use of tap water, tap water has chlorine, then after heating, because the lid is covered, the chlorine is all over food, so be sure to use boiled water or filtered out chlorine water to steam things.
Because chlorine is carcinogenic hazard.
This is really important! Even if only steaming buns, should have this knowledge. When steaming your food, make sure you open the lid to boil the water first.
If water is used straight from the tap, your food will be contaminated by absorbing all the cancer causing chlorine upon heating which is a serious health hazard.

转发就是善行：
宣武医院齐教授的文章：蒸食物请一定要是先开着盖子把水烧开，再放入要蒸的食物，盖上盖子！
难怪有癌症的人愈来愈多。用锅蒸煮东西时，一定要用开水,或是过滤过的水。因为如果直接用自来水，自来水有氯，再经过加热后，由于锅盖是盖着的，氯被全部包覆在食物上，所以
一定要用煮沸过的开水或用已过滤掉氯的水来蒸东西。因为氯有致癌的
危险。这真的很重要！即使只是蒸馒头，都要有此常识。

多多转发，让更多的人看到。

Pumpkin to clean the blood.......

A health improvement email received
----------------------------------------------------
A secret revealed ...

Some years ago, a former professor of mine showed me a blood test.
The five key blood parameters, ie urea, cholesterol, blood glucose, lipids and triglycerides had values which far exceeded permitted levels. I commented that the person with those indices should already be dead, or in very bad health and near death. The teacher then showed the name of the patient which until then had been hidden by his hand. The patient was himself!

I was dumbfounded! "But how? And what did you do?"

With a smile he introduced me to another sheet analysis, saying: "Now, look at this, compare the values of the parameters and see the dates."

That's what I did. The parameter values were clearly within the recommended range, the blood was perfect, flawless, but the surprise increased when I looked at the dates, the difference was only a month (between the two analyses of the same person)!

I asked: "How could it? This is literally a miracle!"

He replied that the miracle was due to her doctor, who suggested treatment obtained from another doctor friend. This treatment has since been used by myself, several times, with impressive results.

Here's the SECRET: once a year, daily for 4 weeks, buy at the fair or supermarket, pumpkin pieces. Daily, peel 100 grams of pumpkin, place the pieces in a blender (raw), along with water (WATER ONLY!), And mix well.

Take this vitamin fasting, 15-20 minutes before breakfast. Do this for a month, every time your blood needs to be corrected. According to the doctor, there is no contradication, because it is just a natural vegetable and water (do not use sugar!).

The teacher, excellent chemical engineer, studied the pumpkin to know which of the active ingredients it contains and concluded, at least partially, that it is present in a solvent of low molecular weight cholesterol: cholesterol more harmful and dangerous - LDL. During the first week, urine has a large amount of LDL (low molecular weight), which results in cleaning of arteries, including the brain, thereby increasing the person's memory ..

PUMPKIN ... Do not make it a secret ... SPREAD!

A Treasure for Health

Received an useful email tip on Losing Weight :-)
Let's Try It!!! ;-)
--------------------------------------------------------------

A Treasure for Health
A Fast and Safe Way to Lose Weight

Many factors can cause a person to become overweight. Over-eating, constipation, inactivity and a multitude of other bodily stressors can contribute to the problem. Many people want to lose weight; however, shedding pounds is really difficult. Because of the substantial number of these people, desirous of shedding excess pounds, many kinds of weight-loss products have appeared on the market and they are nearly as profitable for the manufacturers as cosmetics. However, many weight-loss formulas contain chemicals and produce unpleasant side effects, as many women well know. Some middle-aged men have “beer bellies” and some women have accumulated fat in the abdominal area after having children. They want to get rid of the fat, but for many, exercising at a gym is not always convenient. Now I’ll tell you a secret: Do prostrations every morning for half an hour and your abdominal fat will vanish. For faster, superior results, prostrate for half an hour in the morning and another half-hour in the evening. You’ll be surprised at how rapidly you achieve the desired effect. Maintaining healthful dietary habits and a moderate level of activity are also important factors and including prostration in your daily routine assists in improving overall lifestyle choices by increasing willpower. Prostrating frequently encourages people to assume natural control over their appetite with ease. Clearing Energy Channels and Promoting Blood Circulation Multiplesystems of circulation exist within the body. They include the digestive, vascular and energetic systems. An obstruction to the flow of any circulatory system will result in disease and an acceleration of the aging process. A regular prostration practice promotes smooth circulation, clearing energetic blockages and facilitating physical and emotional balance. There are two major energy channels in the body: the “Ren” and the “Du.” The Ren channel promotes blood circulation and serves as the primary reservoir of yin energy in the body, while Du nourishes life energy and serves as the main keeper of yang energy. When both channels are clear, blood and energy circulate freely in the body. Prostration is also a gentle aerobic exercise that increases oxygen intake and – like any fitness activity – stimulates the production of endorphins, boosting mood and immunity. Optimizing Heart and Brain Function By the time they reach midlife, many people experience a decline in mental acuity. Heart problems, too, become more common in middle age. The proliferation of sedentary jobs in modern life contributes to the fact that a significant segment of the population fails to exercise regularly, resulting in reduced oxygen levels in the heart and brain. Working in an office setting for more than three hours often causes tiredness, as sitting for extended periods of time, even if the brain is active, restricts oxygen flow. A modicum of physical exercise and fresh air breaks are necessary to maintain mental sharpness. Prostration engages the heart and brain, in part by repeatedly altering the body’s position from a typical upright stance to a downward-facing one. This whole body up-and-down motion encourages increased oxygen intake, providing a simple way to keep the cardiovascular and cerebral systems in optimum condition. -- except from "Prostration for Better Living: An Introduction to Practicing Prostration" A good reference on how to do full prostration: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NY6CyyfOUzc  It is recommended to do on yoga mat to protect your knee cap . Enjoy the exercise.   拜佛對健康的好處  http://www.buddha.twmail.cc/2-2/exercise01.htm
