Recently, I received an email about health... You can tell your health condition based on pimples location, finger nails, lips, etc.
Based on this email, my heart (心), liver (肝), lungs (肺), kidneys (腎) all have problems. (O_O；)
Is my health really THAT bad?? I don't think so... ＼(>o<)／
=============================================
神造人時給人體許多巧妙的安排，從身體的很多方面，我們都可以觀察出自己健康的狀況。只是很多時候我們都忽略了，現在讓我們一起來看看，有哪些是你從來不知道的。
以長痘痘來說，有的人偶爾長一兩顆，有的人長期為痘痘所苦 。但你可知道，青春痘長的位置透露了健康的訊息？以額頭來說，可能血液循環有問題 ，由於過於勞心傷神，所以脾氣容易不好。應該睡眠充足、多喝水。
指甲則是人體另一個反應健康的地方。健康的指甲應該是淡粉 紅色的，且指甲板光滑、沒有溝痕，韌度也要夠，這些特點不妨自我檢視看看。 如果指甲凹凸不平，且有溝紋，那麼可能要注意你的肝功能了 。若是指甲容易破裂，是缺乏鐵質，應該多補充深綠色葉菜、魚類、豆類等。從指甲其 實可以觀察出許多疾病的徵兆，應該利用修剪指甲時，慎重地檢視一番。
而排泄物則是另一個顯示健康狀況的指標，不要嫌髒，每天觀察一下，看看自己夠不夠健康。健康的排泄物是沒有臭味的，如果吃多肉類、便秘時，都會產生強烈臭味。
除了從這些地方觀察自己的健康，更要注意生理時鐘，不要違背天然，才能讓身體循環正常。例如凌晨一點到兩點是肝臟排毒期，應該要讓身體進入睡眠狀態，才能順利排毒。
總之，要有健康的身體，自己要做自己第一個醫生，第一號的觀察照顧者，這樣才能健康又快樂。 冒痘痘的位置與健康訊
冒痘痘的位置可能顯示出身體的警訊，你知道嗎？你可能需要看看是否真的該保養身體了。
=> 額頭
代表心火旺、血液循環有問題，可能是過於勞心傷神。這類的人脾氣較不好，應養成早睡早起的習慣， 睡眠充足，並多喝水。
=> 鼻子
如果長在鼻樑， 代表脊椎骨可能出現問題；如果是長在鼻頭處，可能是胃火大、消化系統異常；若在鼻 頭兩側，就可能跟卵巢機能或生殖系統有關。
=> 下巴
表示腎功能受損或內分泌系統失調。女生容易在下巴周圍長痘痘的可能是月事不順所引起的。
=> 左邊臉頰
可能是肝功能不順暢，如肝臟的分泌、解毒或造血等功能出了狀況。
=> 右邊臉頰
可能是肺部功能失常。
指甲的生長夏天比冬天快，手指甲又比腳指甲快，且健康情況 也會在指甲上顯現哦！所以快檢視一下，妳的指甲健不健康。
=> 指甲色澤
通常是淡粉紅色 ，但若太常使用指甲油、去光水，也會使指甲變黃。
=> 指甲的韌度
用其他手指按壓指甲尖端，若能略為彎曲表示硬度剛好，若太軟也表示指甲不健康。
=> 指甲板是否光滑
有時從側面觀看會發現溝痕，那就要多滋養指甲，讓情況改善。
=> 周圍皮膚
指甲周圍皮膚若是過於乾燥、粗糙，就要利用按摩與保養，改善情況。
指甲可以反應健康狀況，觀察指甲的變化，可以了解身體有哪些病徵。
=> 指甲過白
慢性貧血或肝、腎有問題。
=> 白斑
缺乏鋅，可由海產類、菠菜、菇類、五穀類、葵瓜子等攝取補充。
=> 容易破裂
缺乏鐵質，可由深綠色葉菜類、魚類、豆類、五穀類等補充。
=> 指甲過黃
缺乏維他命E，也可能是淋巴系統、呼吸系統有問題。維他命E可由深綠色蔬菜、水果中攝取。
=> 凹凸不平
若還有出現一條條的條紋，可能是肝不好。
健康的唇色是粉紅色的，如果唇色不正常，可能是健康狀況不好哦！
=> 唇色蒼白
若指甲、眼瞼也蒼白，可能有貧血。
=> 唇色青紫
若非因為氣溫過於寒冷，有可能是有貧血、心臟方面問題。
=> 唇色淡黃
若臉色、眼白一樣呈黃色，可能是肝功能不好。
=> 唇色紅紫
若非發燒或一氧化碳中毒，就可能有心臟病、肺病、心臟衰弱等問題。
許多人排出的大便有強烈的臭味，其實如果吃多了肉類、便秘時、腸胃道老化都會有此現象。你可以從排泄物觀察出自己的健康情況哦！
=> 份量
每次以兩三條為適量。
=> 形狀
直徑兩三公分的條狀為佳，過軟或呈顆粒狀則表示腸子有老化狀況。
=> 氣味
正常者應沒有強烈的味道，若有酸臭味、焦臭味、腐敗味，則是有腸老
化現象。
=> 顏色
黃色為正常，顏色愈深表示腸老化狀態愈嚴重。
=> 硬度
排便時若無壓迫感或瀉肚子狀態則為正常。
身體都有生理時鐘，不同時間有不同工作，應該配合生理時鐘，才能有健康身體哦！
=> 時段 -- 時期 -- 工作
午夜12:00 ~ 1:00 -- 淺眠期 -- 多夢而敏感，身體不適者易在此時痛醒。
凌晨 1:00 ~ 2:00 -- 排毒期 -- 此時肝臟為排除毒素而活動旺盛，應讓身體進入睡眠狀態，讓肝臟得以完成代謝廢物。
凌晨3:00 ~ 4:00 -- 休眠期 -- 重症病人最易發病的時刻，常有患病者在此時死亡，熬夜最好勿超過這個時間。
上午9:00 ~ 11:00 -- 精華期 -- 此時為注意力及記憶力最好，且工作與學習的最佳時段。
中午12:00 ~ 1:00 -- 午休期 -- 最好靜坐或閉目休息一下再進餐，正午不可飲酒，易醉又傷肝哦！
下午2:00 ~ 3:00 -- 高峰期 -- 是分析力和創造 力得以發揮淋漓的極致時段！
下午 4:00 ~ 5:00 -- 低潮期 -- 體力耗弱的階段 ，最好補充水果來解饞，避免因飢餓而貪食致肥胖。
下午5:00 ~ 6:00 -- 鬆散期 -- 此時血糖略增，嗅覺與味覺最敏感，不妨準備晚膳來提振精神。
晚上 7:00 ~ 8:00 -- 暫憩期 -- 最好能在飯後 30分鐘去散個步或沐浴，放鬆一下，紓解一日的疲倦困頓。
晚上8:00 ~ 10:00 -- 夜修期 -- 此為晚上活動的巔峰時段，建議您善用此時進行商議，進修等需要思慮周密的活動。
晚上 11:00 ~ 12:00 -- 夜眠期 -- 經過鎮日忙碌， 此時應該放鬆心情進入夢鄉，千萬別讓身體過度負荷，那可得不償失哦！

Top 10 bizarre experiments of all time
The New Scientist magazine has compiled a list of Top 10 bizarre experiments of all time.
Those experiments are fun and weird... :P
1) Elephants on Acid
A curiosity-led experiment from the 1960s, in which Warren Thomas decided to inject an elephant named Tusko with 297 milligrams of LSD — about 3,000 times the typical human dose — to see what would happen. The idea was to determine whether the hallucinogenic drug could induce musth — the state of temporary madness in which male elephants become aggressive.
The result was a public relations disaster: Tusko died. The scientists claimed in their defence that they had not expected this to happen — two of them had taken plenty of acid themselves, they said.
2) Terror in the Skies
Another 1960s experiment, in which ten soldiers on a training flight were told by the pilot that the aircraft was disabled, and about to ditch in the ocean. They were then required to fill in insurance forms before the crash — ostensibly so the Army was not financially liable for any deaths or injuries.
They were actually unwitting participants in an experiment: the plane was not crippled at all. It revealed that fear of imminent death indeed causes soldiers to make more mistakes than usual when filling in forms.
3) Tickling
In the 1930s Clarence Yeuba, a Professor of Psychology at Antioch College in Ohio, formed the hypothesis that people learn to laugh when tickled, and that the response is not innate. He tested it on his son — the family was forbidden from laughing in relation to tickling when he was present.
Leuba’s wife, however, was caught some months later bouncing the boy on her knee while laughing and saying: “Bouncy, bouncy.” By the time the boy was seven, he was laughing when tickled — but that did not stop Leuba trying the experiment again on his sister.
4) Headless rats and painted faces
In 1924 Carney Landis, of the University of Minnesota, set out to investigate facial expressions of disgust. To exaggerate expressions, he drew lines on volunteers’ faces with burnt cork, before asking them to smell ammonia, listen to jazz, look at pornography or place their hands in a bucket of frogs.
He then asked each volunteer to decapitate a white rat. While all hesitated, and some swore or cried, most agreed to do so — showing the ease with which most people bow to authority. The pictures, however, look quite bizarre. “They look like members of a strange cult preparing to offer a sacrifice to the Great God of the Experiment,” Mr Boese wrote.
5) Raising the dead
Robert Cornish, of the University of California at Berkeley, believed in the 1930s that he had perfected a way of raising the dead. He experimented by placing corpses on a see-saw to circulate the blood, while injecting adrenalin and anticoagulants.
After apparently successful experiments on strangled dogs, he found a condemned prisoner, Thomas McMonigle, who was prepared to become a human guinea pig. The state of California, however, refused permission, for fear that it would have to release McMonigle if the technique worked.
6) Slumber learning
In 1942 Lawrence LeShan, of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, attempted subliminally to influence boys into stopping biting their fingernails. While they were asleep, he played them a record of a voice saying: “My fingernails taste terribly bitter.” When the record player broke down, he stood in the dormitory repeating the phrase himself.
It seemed to work: by the end of the summer, 40 per cent of the boys had stopped biting their nails. Mr Boese, however, has another explanation: "'If I stop biting my nails,’ they probably thought, ‘the strange man will go away.’”
7) Turkey turn-ons
Martin Schein and Edgar Hale, of Pennsylvania State University, devoted themselves to studying the sexual behaviour of turkeys in the 1960s, and discovered that the birds are not choosy. Taking a model of a female turkey, they progressively removed body parts until the males lost interest.
Even when all that remained was a head on a stick, the male turkeys remained turned on.
8) Two-headed dogs
Vladimir Demikhov, a surgeon from the Soviet Union, revealed his surgical creation of a two-headed dog in 1954. The head of a puppy had been grafted onto the neck of an adult German shepherd. The second head would lap at milk, even though it did not need nourishment — and though the milk then dribbled down the neck from its disconnected oesophagus. Both animals soon died because of tissue rejection — but that did not stop Demikhov from creating 19 more over the next 15 years.
9) The vomit-drinking doctor
Stubbins Ffirth, a doctor training in Philadelphia during the 1800s, formed the hypothesis that yellow fever was not an infectious disease, and proceeded to test it on himself. He first poured infected vomit into open wounds, then drank the vomit. He did not fall ill — but not because yellow fever is not infectious. It was later discovered that it must be injected directly into the bloodstream, typically through the bite of a mosquito.
10) Eyes wide open
In 1960 Ian Oswald, of the University of Edinburgh, sought to test extreme conditions for falling asleep. He taped open volunteers’ eyes, while placing a bank of flashing lights 50cm in front of them, and attached electrodes to their legs that administered electric shocks. He also blasted very loud music into their ears.
All three subjects were able to fall asleep within 12 minutes. Oswald speculated that the key was the monotonous and regular nature of the stimuli.
