8 ‘Healthy’ Habits That Could Actually Shorten Your Lifespan

多看美女

日前,世界壯年運動會在台灣開幕,由輝達CEO黃仁勳擔任聖火代表。這次令國際傳媒關注的,是當中一名年屆一○四歲的台灣羽毛球選手林友茂以超高齡之姿報名參賽。 當黃仁勳和林友茂碰頭並得悉林氏歲數後,黃仁勳當場看傻眼,向林氏問道,如何保持長壽?林友茂笑笑口以四字回應:「多看美女。」這麼幽默、「玩得」的開朗伯伯,難怪長壽又健康。 這又令我想起較早前,讀到中國協和深圳醫院婦科主治醫師何振業給女性的提議:女性若氣血不足、情緒低落、精神不振,可觀看「肌肉男」或賞心悅目之事去令自己提升情緒,皆因視覺刺激會加速多巴胺分泌,有減壓、平衡內分泌和增加快樂感之效果(怪不得每年的澳洲消防員日曆總是大賣)。 看完這個報道,我已開懷大笑,毋須再看肌肉男。但我對於林友茂和何振業之建議,欣然接受,亦非常欣賞他們夠膽直講。不知道他們是為氹大家開心而講、抑或是真心相信,但無論如何,男士多看美女,女士多看肌肉男,大家平等又愉快,健康又長壽,實無不可。 學術期刊《Evolutionary Psychology》,在二○一五年亦刊登過一個有趣研究,發現無論男女,看過賞心悅目的異性陌生人照片後,大腦的注意力、短暫記憶力和執行能力都獲得提升。人類天性,眼目都是喜歡看美人和美事,看得多身心舒暢,人也精神爽利一點。 我承認,自己很喜歡看靚人,男女不拘,但最緊要是自然美,絕不能有絲毫「動工」或「加工」痕迹。現在走在街上,遇到沒有割過雙眼皮或吊過綫、沒有打過botox或透明質酸、沒有掛着一副膠面的天然美人,會感到非常難能可貴,簡直鳳毛麟角,會禁不住多望兩眼。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link

時尚宣言

環球最大AI晶片公司NVIDIA行政總裁Jensen Huang(黃仁勳)有一特徵,就是無論大小場合,他只穿着有型有款的黑皮褸出席。 相傳,他的皮褸大部分出自名牌,價值不菲,加上高大身材,這fashion statement(時尚宣言)來得很有品味。 惟在美國總統中東一行,同場的Jensen Huang竟然一改風格,在台上與政要和其他CEO合影時,竟正經八百地穿上一套剪裁修身的藍色西裝,再配上搶眼藍色領呔,看來也醒目,但相比那有型的黑皮褸,這Jensen Huang有點不像Jensen Huang。 在「合適」場合被迫穿上「合適」衣裝,這是社會常規,醫生絕對討厭領呔,這是個人喜好問題,但在某場合也會被迫就範,例如多年前到英國開會,主人家盛意拳拳安排在Westminster Houses of Parliament吃晚飯,規矩就是一條領呔,不佩戴領呔就連門口也不能進,醫生只好趕買一條頗醜的領呔放在頸上。 尊重場合是需要的,也是某些社團的基本需求,主要源自歷史和傳統,掌權者若能把握傳統便能把握權力,所以不會輕易放棄。與此同時,時尚宣言是人身自由,除個人喜好外,還是表達自我的途徑之一,在自由開放的西方社會,這是基本權利。 既然穿領呔有理,不穿也有理,唯一解決就是逃避所有被迫需佩戴領呔的場合! 撰文 : 莫樹錦 欄名 : 醫筆稱心 Source link
