光照射,環境汙染或不正當使用化學藥物,都會使自由基增加,加速體內<br /> 氧化壓力,導致細胞結構和功能損害;專家建議,想要抗老化,就要做好<br /> 抗氧化。<br /><br /> ■抗老有7步驟<br /><br /> 台北醫學大學蔡翠敏教授表示,抗老有7步驟,第1是增強免疫系統,第<br /> 2是整頓腸胃道功能,第3是適度運動,第4是保持理想體重,第5健康均衡<br /> 飲食,第6適度補充健康食品,第7是補充抗氧化劑。<br /><br /> 她強調,抗氧化劑能夠中和抵銷氧化作用所產生的自由基,防止自由基<br /> 引起連鎖氧化反應,避免對細胞和組織造成傷害。<br /><br /> 蔡翠敏表示,美國農業部曾公布排名前10名的抗氧化食品為:酪梨、莓<br /> 果類、十字花科蔬菜、大蒜、薑、堅果、大豆、全麥麵米食、西瓜、水。<br /> 目前各種常見的抗氧化食品主要成分包括:類胡蘿蔔素、維生素C、維生<br /> 素E、輔脢Q10、硒及多酚類物質;其中類胡蘿蔔素常見的抗氧化成分為β-<br /> 胡蘿蔔素、葉黃素、茄紅素等。<br /><br /> β-胡蘿蔔素在體內可轉變成維生素A,多吃比直接補充大量的維生素A還<br /> 安全,因為高劑量的維生素A可能引起神經、肝臟的毒性作用。富含食物<br /> 如南瓜、肝臟、蛋黃、牛乳、胡蘿蔔、菠菜、甘薯、黃色或橘色甜椒、木<br /> 瓜、芒果等。<br /><br /> ■番茄熟食營養佳<br /><br /> 至於要如何選擇茄紅素?蔡翠敏指出,黃番茄為熱門的減肥水果,但黃<br /> 番茄中的茄紅素含量並不高,應選擇新鮮、鮮紅水果,像是番茄、西瓜、<br /> 粉紅色葡萄柚、粉紅色芭樂等。茄紅素為脂溶性,「熟食」比生食更能增<br /> 加茄紅素的有效吸收,而且烹調時不宜去「皮」。攝取上需注意每日建議<br /> 量30-50毫克間,長期攝取過量可能會使皮膚變黃。<br /><br /> 蔡翠敏說,維生素C存在大部分綠色蔬菜中,維生素E普遍存在芝麻、核<br /> 桃、小麥胚芽中,輔脢Q10存在人體粒腺體中,隨年歲增加,身體含量減<br /> 少,成為加速老化的原因。輔脢Q10存在菠菜、花椰菜、堅果、肉、魚類<br /> 中,屬脂溶性營養素,建議與肉類合併食用效果較好。<br /><br /> 蔡翠敏強調,補充抗氧化食品攝取尚應遵守「適量適當」原則,因為個<br /> 人飲食習慣、生活方式、遺傳體質的不同會有程度上的差異;例如Q10不<br /> 適於患有青春痘者,同時它與某種抗凝血藥物有拮抗作用,因此不能併服。<br /> * zycxxcz1234 於 April 15, 2008 07:48 PM 回應 |

曾罹患癌症的醫師吳永志,最近出新書,推廣「自然養生法」,他每天都喝六杯以蕃茄、胡蘿蔔、紅色甜菜根為主打成的500cc.蔬果汁,以大量蔬果類為主食,可以強化免疫系統,他也建議癌症患者應該以生機飲食為主。<br /><br /> 現年68歲的吳永志在30歲時,罹患第三期肺癌,開刀時發現癌症轉移,被宣告只剩下幾個月的生命。在萬念俱灰下,決心吃新鮮蔬果與乾淨的水,並且調整生活習慣,天天作陽光浴、快走、多休息、早睡早起、洗冷熱浴等,6個月後逐漸恢復體力,每天三至四次的排便,9個月後體檢報告竟然樣樣正常。<br /><br /> 數十年來,吳永志到處推廣自然養生法,最近他也來台發表新書。吳永志說,蔬果的纖維和種子裡含有「植物生化素」,可抗氧化、消除自由基,因此他每天早上喝兩杯蔬果汁當早餐,午餐前一小時再喝一杯,中午則吃蕃茄、胡蘿蔔、苜蓿芽等作蔬菜沙拉。<br /><br /> 下午也要喝兩杯蔬果汁當點心、晚餐前再喝一杯,並以一小盤蔬菜沙拉、以及由發芽的各種豆類、糙米、南瓜塊或蕃薯塊煮成的豆米飯當主食。每周有六天都以蔬果類為主,星期天才隨意的吃。<br /><br /> 他也說,飲用蔬果汁時,要小口、小口喝,慢慢細嚼,強化兩頰肌肉及刺激唾腺。並且要注意不能單吃一種蔬果,因為每種蔬果都有不同的植物生化素防止疾病,唯有均衡補充才吸收足夠的營養。<br /><br /> 他也認為,癌症患者應該全面大量生食蔬菜和飲用蔬果原汁,不僅較容易消化、改善體質。而癌症患者為維持體力的蛋白質來源,可以用稍微發芽的豆類補足,將豆類洗乾淨,清水略蓋過豆類,以紗布蓋住浸泡一到兩天就可以取出食用,微發芽的豆類也可以避免脹氣的問題。<br /><br /> 吳永志的自然養生法,與不少西醫的觀念也不盡相同,例如他也認為,牛奶因為殘留的荷爾蒙、抗生素驚人,加上牛奶中含有一種人體難消化的蛋白質,所以不是絕對必要,他也建議應改為以杏仁、芝麻、南瓜子等打成的堅果奶、或豆漿代替,補充鈣質。<br /> * 版主 於 April 15, 2008 07:49 PM 回覆<br /><br /> *<br /><br /> 14樓<br /><br />

一家3口,同時改名又改姓<br /> 自由 更新日期:"2009/05/18 04:09"<br /><br /> 〔記者洪美秀/竹市報導〕改名不稀奇!但一家3口同時改名又改姓就少<br /> 見了!光復高中學生留揚順,原本跟著阿嬤的姓叫王賜貴,小學三年級,<br /> 爸爸希望認祖歸宗,他與爸爸和姊姊一起改姓回阿公的「留」姓,於是改<br /> 姓兼改名,一家3口姓名全變,是名副其實的「變身」。<br /><br /> 今年大學繁星計畫錄取彰化師範大學電機系的光復高中學生留揚順,有個<br /> 特殊的「留」姓,但他原本叫王賜貴,為何會改成姓留?還是留不住、留<br /> 學生的「留」,留揚順說,其實「王」是他阿嬤的姓,他的阿公姓<br /> 「留」,因為爸爸是家中排行最小的,當時阿嬤希望小兒子能從母姓,在<br /> 阿公同意下,才跟著阿嬤姓「王」,他說,阿公並沒有入贅到阿嬤家,在<br /> 那個父權的年代,阿公有此雅量,實在不容易。<br /><br /> 爸爸長大、結婚、生子,都一直姓王,留揚順說,他與姊姊出生後也姓<br /> 王,姊姊叫王毓芬,他叫王賜貴,小時候阿姨都叫他「阿貴」,到了小學<br /> 三年級,爸爸因阿公、阿嬤相繼過世,爸爸與伯父等家族討論後,決定認<br /> 祖歸宗,改回阿公的姓「留」,既然要改姓,就順便改名字,於是他們一<br /> 家3口同時到戶政單位改姓又改名。<br /><br /> 換姓又換名,留揚順說一開始確實不習慣,但改姓名時他還小,後來求學<br /> 念書,老師同學都因他的特殊「留」姓印象深刻,就連他參加市運動會跑<br /> 步得獎時,大會人員看他姓「留」,還擅自改成姓「劉」,且不斷問他<br /> 「有沒有搞錯,不是在開玩笑吧?」<br /><br /> 因為姓留,他常被叫「留不住」、「留下來」、「小留學生」等各種綽<br /> 號,今年大學繁星計畫錄取彰化師範大學,留揚順說,希望未來能往高中<br /> 職校的教職發展,為自己「留」下好名聲。<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br

Sharing your experience on the blog was a critical part of the effort. I know you all have busy lives, and some of you, if indeed not all, with crushing schedules. I admire your commitment and celebrate your participation. I know that you did not have to do this, it was a choice. I am honored to have shared this moment with you all, which, I think we all understand, is but a speck of the reality that those living on food stamps experience. Thank you!<br /><br />I had my final meal on the challenge last night: cottage cheese and a banana. I still have an apple, cottage cheese, yogurt, and one more serving of oatmeal left. I suspect, however, the more representative result is Vallerye's: more month than money (or, in our case, more week than food).<br /><br />Today, my wife and I are heading off to the asparagus festival in Stockton. I'm looking forward to trying asparagus both in their natural state and altered states (deep fried yummy: Nutritionist, don't shudder).<br /><br />A reminder: May is hunger awareness month. Please think of either participating again or recruiting someone you can sponsor to experience this unique undertaking. Sponsor a policy maker. Policy makers, recruit other policy makers. Anyone expecting to apply for food stamps, I would love to see you participate (I will personally sponsor you) and share your experience from application to use of your EBT.<br /><br />Thank you all again,<br />JoséJosé Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149158642036841563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-8201392805334770712009-04-24T23:16:00.000-07:002009-04-24T23:16:00.000-07:00One hour to go, and I am already salivating over t...One hour to go, and I am already salivating over the strawberries and grapes that I'm going to eat at midnight, the soy latte I'm going to have in the a.m., and the cold Sierra Nevada beer I plan to drink tomorrow night. I think I must eat more than most of the participants, because I have devoured all of the food that I bought (and the Golden Grahams were long gone by Wednesday). <br /><br />I listened to the NPR interview, and I really liked Jose's idea of having actual food stamp recipients tell their stories. I've gotten some mild criticism this week from friends (and my husband) who worry that eating on this diet for 5 days could never truly give me the experience of living like this all year (specifically meeting nutritional needs). So it would be insightful to hear from the recipients themselves. Of course, I also agree with Jose, that the challenge at least lets us walk in others' shoes, if only for a few days. <br /><br />After this challenge, I will never look at free food the same way again. I may not always eat it when it's available, but I will be grateful and hopefully it will serve as a reminder of these past 5 days. <br /><br />Until the next challenge, <br />ValleryeVallerye Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456429741195561912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-52946864135933524952009-04-24T18:21:00.000-07:002009-04-24T18:21:00.000-07:00Friday, 6 p.m.

I have committments that will take me until late Friday evening so will not get a chance to eat until I get home close to midnight. So, until then, I will be running on the glass of orange juice and a banana that I had for breakfast!<br /><br />I have more than a half loaf of bread (ran out of turkey breast yesterday), a cooked chicken breast, some tofu, two more packages of ramen noodles, 1/2 package of frozen vegetables, 1/2 carton of milk, one more glass of orange juice, and 1/4 box of Cheerios leftover when I get in. There is food leftover, but it is the same food from which to make a meal. <br /><br />I feel fine and have actually lost a little weight this week since I have given up dessert (I do have a sweet tooth). I am looking forward to a strong, hot cup of coffee in the morning (in time for the California Democratic Party Women's Caucus @ 7:30 a.m.) and have come away from this second Food Stamp Challenge in five months with the same committment to the 26 million Americans for whom this is not a choice. <br /><br />Thanks to all who participated this time, and perhaps we will have inspired others to join us next time. Better yet, let's work for the day when our economy provides opportunities for greater self-sufficiency. <br /><br />Sayonara, MarikoMariko Yamadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548882057401653822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-47513394551078606142009-04-24T13:17:00.000-07:002009-04-24T13:17:00.000-07:00Hi everybody, for those of you who missed the NPR ...Hi everybody, for those of you who missed the NPR interview, I just uploaded it to the website.

It is really just that my life style does not really work that way. I take food for granted..and I need to stop doing that.<br /><br />Like Jose, I got several e-mails from people that heard the radio show. They were all positive.<br /><br />Last night was bad.

So today I'm eating 5 eggs, 4 apples, 1 heaping bowl of oatmeal, 1 chicken breast, 3 broccoli stalks, 5 oz of tuna, 4 tbsps of peanut butter, and 3 cups of milk for his final day of the food stamp challenge. That's about 2,400 calories, including lots of protein and fiber. <br /><br />I'll still have a half-jar of peanut butter and about a 10-day supply of oatmeal. Plus $1.10 left for a big impulse splurge sometime today.<br /><br />Lots of fancy receptions for social service agencies last night, with some great looking food. I wasn't drooling, but my abstinence was a good conversation-starter, as it has been all week, about hunger, obesity, and nutrition.Christopher Cabaldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369775918346511985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-62450493699941114782009-04-24T06:36:00.000-07:002009-04-24T06:36:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention that I received two more email...I forgot to mention that I received two more emails from people who heard the Cap Public Radio interview Matt and I did with Host Jeffrey Callison.

It was our first meeting and first time most of us had met. Lunch was served with LaBou sandwiches, fresh fruit, salad, soda, and coffee. <br /><br />I of course brown bagged it with my apple and banana. Great conversation starter as eyebrows raise: am I on a diet? a special doctors orders? oddball (not articulated, but in a group of 25, it had to cross someones mind)? and an opportunity to promote the food stamp challenge. There appeared to be some interest by a few in possibly participating in May (hunger awareness month).<br /><br />For dinner I had more rice and beans. I have enough for one more meal: lunch today. I will add to that lunch a small portion left of beef stir fry, and my last piece of pita bread. I still have a banana, an apple, some cottage cheese, all my yogurt, and 66 cents.<br /><br />Tomorrow I'll be back to normal, except for the experience, which will stay with me to continue to remind me how lucky I am that this experience was temporary for me, but a daily reality for millions of my fellow Americans. Armed with this insight should help me continue to discharge the Food Bank's mission with humility and renewed conviction.José Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149158642036841563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-89624445880571916182009-04-23T18:29:00.000-07:002009-04-23T18:29:00.000-07:00So today I spent a little over $4 on two tangelos,...So today I spent a little over $4 on two tangelos, two bananas, and two apples at the Nugget. <br /><br />I had one of each this morning for breakfast.

Spinach is now gone.<br /><br />I still have more than $2, lots of raman, half my pasta, one banana, one tangelo, and an apple. <br /><br />This ends for me at lunch tomorrow since I started on Sunday at 11am.

I craved a crispy lettuce and tomato salad, with olive oil and balsamic vinager, but I had to settle for beans and rice. The plate was tasteful, left me full, but it did not hit the spot. I'm pretty sure I will make it through day 5, but I feel so fortunate that I can have absolutely whatever I want come Saturday...and I also feel pretty guilty that the 10% of Yolo County's population living in poverty will still be on the limited diet I only struggled with for 5 days. <br /><br />I think the fact that Nutritionist had to back out of the challenge highlights the fact that we are all 'surviving' so to speak on this diet, but what about the nutritional value of living off cottage cheese and top ramen? <br /><br />Matt - You have 6 bucks left. I think you can splurge and replace those bananas.

Since we are all on the challenge, I did not tempt anyone with anything but water last night. So no snacks.<br /><br />Things seemed to go ok with NPR as Matt says. I was, I have to admit, a bit nervous, especially when you have this huge microphone in your face. You should see those things, they are elephantile (at least to a novice like me). Matt looked like he was right at home.<br /><br />I did receive an email from a listener that thought Matt and I were insenitive to the plight of those on food stamps. I have asked for permission to post those comments on the blog.<br /><br />I appreciated the honesty of Nutritionist. On the other hand, it also brought to mind those people that can't just discontinue their economic condition at will. Even though Nutrionist's hardships and challenge were very real, the remedy was immediately available. Poor people don't have that option. Thank you Nutrionist for your courage to own up to the choice you made.José Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149158642036841563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-81853488821313804392009-04-23T00:57:00.000-07:002009-04-23T00:57:00.000-07:00Thursday - 1 a.m.

Would be nice to have additional variety in meals, but that is not to be this week.<br /><br />Nutritionist, I bought 3.82 lbs of overripe bananas for $.39 a lb at Safeway. These are packaged in bags next to the "regular" bananas in the produce section.<br /><br />Appreciate Vallerye's observation that we who do not need free food are always around it. For the "Capitol Crowd", there are multiple receptions day and evening throughout the work week, with more food than anyone could possibly eat. I generally do not attend these events, and if I do, don't eat or drink at them anyway so I don't have to report any gifts. So, I must have inadvertently been training to do the Food Stamp Challenge! <br /><br />We're on the down hill for the challenge.

So protein is not turning out to be an overwhelming challenge. Missed out on Ludy's BBQ during an Earth Day event today, chorizo and eggs at a breakfast meeting, and of course the salmon and desserts at the State of the City Address. But haven't been hungry or lethargic, and had a decent gym visit yesterday with a more intense training session tomorrow.

I am definitely not running 5 miles a day, so I cannot imagine what it would be like on this diet. <br /><br />My dinner last night of black beans, brown rice, and sauted onions was hearty (for me), but I would have enjoyed more vegetables to go with it or some fresh chopped cilantro and tomatoes.

I had no energy and although I treated myself to large amounts of chicken and a nice glass of milk, I felt horrible. As I felt weak and crappy, I was informed that my roommate had been diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday, and that was the final straw. I have done the $3 a day challenge in the past and have completed it but during that time I had cut my physical activity back to a minimal 30 minutes a day. With the extra $1 I believed I could maintain my workout schedule, but obviously this was not the case. In case you were wondering what I purchased, I focused on protein to maintain my workouts.<br /><br />2 packs of 3 piece chicken breast with bone at 99 cents/pound ($5)<br />18 eggs ($3.50)<br />Oatmeal ($3)<br />Rice ($1.75)<br />(2)Cans of Chili ($2.75) <br />2 Gallon Milk ($2.25)<br /><br />I was planning to do a piece of chicken with rice for dinner, 3-4 eggs for breakfast, lunch would either be oatmeal, chili, or chicken for one day with oatmeal being my "snack" when I needed one. I tried to gradually reduce my calories in that I was planning on eating more on Monday than on Friday to let my body adjust more smoothly. I also got food that I enjoyed eating with the idea of sustainability in my mind, (I normally buy all of these items), unlike last time where I survived off of Roman and the plain quaker oats oatmeal that I had to choke down. It looks like I bit off more than I could chew, where realistically I should have either sacrificed my workouts, or my taste buds, as I could not keep both. <br /><br />If I could go back I would not have bought milk, although I love it, I would have proffered fruits or vegetables.<br />Good luck to all of you and please don't let my stopping tempt you to do the same!<br /><br />-Mariko, where did you find the overripe bananas at 39 cents a pound?Nutritionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190115317474436963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466151527924042662.post-5095952355839108242009-04-22T05:56:00.000-07:002009-04-22T05:56:00.000-07:00Last night I cooked my lean beef stir fry with the...Last night I cooked my lean beef stir fry with the rest of the onion, bell pepper, last tomatoe, and garlic.
