有些朋友曾誇讚小弟的皮膚嫩滑,保養得宜。這些讚美真是過譽,對於男性來說,樣貌年青便顯得不夠成熟穩重,不是一件什麼值得高興的事。然而,小弟也想值此分享一些護膚心得。 市面上護膚方法大致可分兩種:外方與內方。 外方指從皮膚外部去護理皮膚。一般來說,護理人士會從暗瘡、乾紋、膚色、皮膚彈性、黑頭粉刺、雀斑黑斑等外部異徵來著手處理,例如面膜,護膚。 然而,俗語有云:木必自腐,而後蟲生。外部異徵的形成很少因為外間的因素(除了皮外傷),主要是因為身體內部健康的問題引致,體內有異,表於體外。況且,人類身體本身有一個緊密的生理機制,譬如油脂,毛孔,膚質等一環扣一環,因此外部處理不但是治標不治本,而且還有機會破壞體內層層緊扣的生理機制。 內方則可分為飲食、生理與心理這三大類別。 飲食必須均衡,不可偏食,更不可以暴飲暴食。假如身體不好,便會虛不受補。其中有幾種小弟愛好的食物對於養顏頗有幫助: 魚類 是高蛋白類食物。蛋白質是人體的必須營養之一,經常食用,可促進皮下肌肉豐滿而富有彈性。 荔枝 含維生素A、B1、C,還含有果膠、遊離氨基酸、蛋白質以及鐵、磷、鈣等多種元素。現代醫學研究證明,荔枝有補腎、改善肝功能、加速毒素排除、促進細胞生成、使皮膚細嫩等作用,是排毒養顏的理想水果。 木耳 中所含的一種植物膠質,有較強的吸附力,可將殘留在人體消化系統的灰塵雜質集中吸附,再排出體外,從而起到排毒清胃的作用。 蜂蜜 中的主要成分葡萄糖和果糖,很容易被人體吸收利用。常吃蜂蜜能達到排出毒素、美容養顏的效果,對防治心血管疾病和神經衰弱等症也很有好處。 胡蘿蔔 是有效的解毒食物,它不僅含有豐富的胡蘿蔔素,而且含有大量的維生素A和果膠,與體內的汞離子結合之後,能有效降低血液中汞離子的濃度,加速體內汞離子的排出。 海帶 表面上有一層略帶甜味兒的白色粉末,是極具醫療價值的甘露醇,具有良好的利尿作用,可以治療藥物中毒、浮腫等症,所以,海帶是理想的排毒養顏食物。 牛奶 中的鐵、銅和維生素A有美容作用,能改善皮膚細胞活性,有延緩皮膚衰老、增強皮膚張力、消除小皺紋等功效。牛奶還有美白的作用,歷來是女性美容佳品。 肉皮 富含膠原蛋白和彈性蛋白,能使細胞變得豐滿,減少皺紋、增強皮膚彈性。 除了飲食,生理健康還有賴常做運動.每天做運動,改善血氣運行,新陳代謝。氣通人和,不但可以擁有紅蘋果般的臉龐,還可以長出蛋膜般嫩滑的表皮。 心...

Hell's Kitchen

Hell's Kitchen showed its finale of the first season last Saturday. I cooked a dinner at that moment. There was frequently bee bee sound (foul languages were banned in HK TV channel) in the TV, so was there in my kitchen. Cooking a good dish is not easy. Cooking a good meal is difficult very much. It involves the management of inventory, labor, time, quality. You should be clear about the big picture but should not miss the detail between small pieces. As a Chinese saying goes, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish (Chinese: 治大國若烹小鮮).

Most activities of the organization have few attendees, except Talk for Thought about investment topics. The one held last Saturday is no exception. The speaker raised an interesting question: How can you completely lose a million dollars within three months? If you have not understood the method of losing, you have not understood the method of winning either. Not only ask which stocks should be bought, but also ask which stocks should NOT be bought. In addition, the capital will be doubled after 18 years if each return rate is just 4% while it will be doubled just after 4 years if each return rate is up to 18%. You can easily take profit four times but difficultly do so eighteen times. Therefore you should take big profit from a few but good stocks rather than escape after small profit taken. In conclusion, "Buy a right thing at a right time." The right thing is a good company. The right time is when it is cheap. When we gathered to discuss how to double profits in a restau...

Yun Mei Japan

偶然一餐請同事食飯,即管豪一豪佢,去左間時時經過但都無入過既日本餐廳。 與其話係餐廳,不如話係酒吧。我地一入去,大廚(睇牆上既相認出,雖然真人好似老左o的)係門口接待。吧枱位於正中間,負責供應酒水同埋壽司刺身。 我叫左個招牌刺身lunch set,除了主菜雜錦刺身,仲有一碗魚容魚子飯。魚子有味多汁,魚容入口即溶。大蝦小蝦鮮甜美味,魚生肉質新鮮,海膽腥而不苦(依個真係出面食唔到),螺肉爽口彈牙。仲有,佢既wasabi口感新鮮,質感軟滑,好容易點到刺身上,可能係大廚自家製。個塊紫蘇葉係真架,唔係綠膠片,碟上每一樣野(理論上)都係食得。 係香港,日本餐廳好多,好食既就好少。只有上次友人請我食既IFC禮鮨(好食,但係好貴)及得上依一間。 餐廳:圓 地址:香港金鐘夏愨道16號遠東金融中心地下C2舖

18 years ago, she sat behind me. We watched the TV. Some sat on the ground in the TV. Next day they all ceased. Today, she is married. She is happy. Some sat on the grassground in the TV. Next day it becomes another memory .
